LITTLE BEA UTY CHATS
BY BLANCHE BEACON.
HOW TO PREPAR E FOR OLD AGE.
BY BLANCHE BEACON.

To be exact. how to prepare for mid
die age. 1t is the young girl yet in her
teens who stops to realize what may
be her fate in the ~forties, who can take
the forties gracefully and attractively.
To my mind. the training for beauty
In middle age should begin when the
child is about 6 years old. The care
full mother will begin to take stock of
her baby girl and determine what nat
urally disappointing features are to be
remedied. and what good points en-
phasized.
l was telling a mother OF this very
thing. but she Interrupted me with:
That would make my little daugh-
ter very vain and too thoughtful of
herself. A s~elf-conscious child is an
unpleasant one"
If l felt that teaching a little miss
would be likely to cause vanity, / as
suredly would be the first to condemn
such teaching. But it does not neces-
sarily follow that because your baby
is taught now to pinch her little finger
tip gently in order that they may
grow prettily %conical, or because she
learns not to play jacks on~the pave
ment. thereby running her hands, she
will be vain. The wise mother will inn
press upon her child that Nature has
given her a beautiful body that is hers
to use and sadly enough, to abuse It
can be done wisely and thoughtfully,
not frivolousit or over-importantly.
The time t" worry about the for,ies
Is In the teens. Let the girl Of 16
think of 46. and erect her bulwarks
against middle age now. She can do
this by a little systematic attention to
her skin, her hands, her hair and her
figure. Begin to send her to the mani
cnrist. Show her her little faults Of
omission r. commission. You will
lind she has plenty OF these if you only
look for them.

Yes, but suppose 1 have a great

DRINK is RUNNING SCOTLAND.

Rev. Andrew Gillies, pastor of Hen
nepin Avenue Methodist Church, Min
neapolis, recently returned from Eu-
rope. He brought back, along with
the delights of his trip to Scotland, a
distinctive feeling of sadness over a
development that is unfavorable. 1.-TWO
things are injuring Scotland" he said.
Zone is emigration. Fine, sturdy
Scotchmen and women are going out
over the world to better their condi-
ton. The world is gaining. but the
native land is suffering. 1t is a heavy
drain on the old land
"The other great evil is. drink.
made it my purpose to learn from first
hand observation some of the phases
of this evil, and was appalled, by the
amount of drunkenness in Scotland,
especially by the number of drunken
men in the parks, and worst of all the
number of drunken women. When you
see woman drunk you see a sad
sight and that is a sight that is all
too common, am sorry to say, in
old Scotland today. had heard that
Glasgow, the big seaport, was one of
the most drunken cities in Europe,
and this found was true, but it does
not stop there. 1t is as bad, or al
most as bad in classic Edinburgh and
elsewhere over the old land"

A POOR MANS WILL.

Last week Thomas Mccarthy,
freight handler, died in a hospital
in st. Louis. Shortly before his
death, he made will in which he
disposed of $4,000 worth of prop
erty accumulated during the
course of his laborious life. After
setting aside a sufficient sum for
funeral expenses, he bequeathed
$500 each to the Little Sisters of
the Poor, the st. Vincent de Paul
Society, and Father Dempsey s
Day Nursery. He directed that
the residue of the estate, after de-
Quoting the $4,000 willed to his
relatives, be held in trust by
Father Dempsey for charitable
purposes.
This will is not remarkable for
the large amount of money be-
queathed to charitable purposes.
It deserves special mention, how
ever, because of the facts that
Thomas Mccarthy, the testator,
was a poor laborer who never re-
ceived more than $500 a week.
Out of this he succeeded in saving
the $4,000, three-quarters of which
he willed to charity. It is true
he never married; but how many
men are there similarly situated
who never save penny out of
much larger salaries, and conse-
quently have nothing to bequeath
to the work of religion or char

Some time ago an effort was
made to inaugurate a campaign
for the establishment of a Y. w.
G. A. in Virginia and other towns
on the range in order that the
young women Of the community
might have a social center for in
tellectual and physical develop
ment. The project was opposed
by all who realize that the Y. M.
G. A., being a Protestant institu-
ton, could not fill the bill in a
community made up of people of
different creeds. One Of the
strongest opponents of this move
ment was the Rev. Thomas Grice,
pastor of the First Methodist
Church of Virginia, who advo-
Gated a municipal gymnasium to
be managed in about the same
way as the public library of that
city. He believes that there is
great need of a common meeting
place, Tor men especially, IN all
the towns Of the range where an
application in regard to member
ship contains no question of ma
tionality or creed.
On the question Of a public
gymnasium built and controlled
by the municipality, he says: cit
is my belief there is great need
for just such an institution in
Virginia and in many cities. I be-
lieve it would be a tremendous
factor in the amalgamation of the
great number of bloods repre-
sented among our people, and
would greatly hasten the process
of assimilation in the great melt
ing pot Of America. /"
The Y. M. G. A. or the Y. W.
G. A. can never serve the purpose
of an institution for all the people
of any community and the sooner
their promoters realize this the
better for all concerned.

LABOR LEGISLATION
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE FOR THE
REGULATION OF CHILD
LABOR.

Legislation of the most vital i'm
portance to laboring men and women
has been enacted in this last quarter
century in New York State as well as
in every other State in the Union.
Regulation of child labor, hours for
women's employment, protection of
health, employers liability-all have
taken conspicuous place, not to men
ton the broad public provisions for
laboring mems comfort by way of
establishing small parks, recreation
piers and the various movements cal
culated to stimulate all classes, even
the poorest, to higher standards of
living.
To Mr. Elbridge T. Gerry, of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children, is due great praise for
his work in behalf of regulating child
labor. Prior to 1887 Mr. Gerry worked
unfalteringly, but to little concrete re-
suit, to have law passed by the
Legislature regulating the employment
of children in factories. Efforts of
the trades unions toward the same
goal we're alike unavailing. But in
1885 the two forces pooled issues, and
presenting united front, succeeded In
having a child labor law passed
Employment of children has been
gradually restricted, the minimum age
limit eventually being fixed at four
teen years, and on June Is, 1907, the
Legislature amended the act to pro-
vide that no child under sixteen be
allowed to work in any factory except
between eight o'clock and five, or for
more than eight hours in any day or
six days in a week. The latest re-
vision provides that no male minor
under eighteen may be employed in
any factory more than fifty-four hours
a week or more than nine hours a
day. The same provision applies to
female workers. There are a few ex
ceptions in the employment restric
tons, which may be disregarded in a
general consideration of the subject
like this.
