HOTEL SAVOY, London, Aug.
10.--A world-famed theatrical
manager who has number OF
promising young actresses on his
staff compiled a very clever arr
gument for youth as the greatest
asset of the actress or the
woman. AS he put me in the
yC.-..1ful class. what may say
on the subject may not be taken
as being at all prejudiced.
Too long has beauty and worth
In women meant youth. The
standard Il wrong. Youth is end
thusIasticand careless.
Youth is happy-and Thought
less.
Youth is hrave-and inexperi-
enced.
Youth Is promise only.
When being a wife and mother
was the only existence that. wom-
an was thought to be able to fill
1t was natural that she should be
considered at her hest from
eighteen to thfrty-fiye, and
only then could beauty be seen
In her.

A.-Really I should think you
would blush to acknowledge your
extreme Stiffness even In an
anonymous signature. I am sure
IL would not be proper for such
beauties to be out without cfape-

Why don't you use your God
given minds q little, and do what
you know to be right. You will
get more fun out of it In the end.
A flirt Is usually n very shallow
who thinks any regard worth
having can be held with mere
beauty. Have you never noticed
how some persons who seemed
hOmely to you Mt first grew more
and more lovely as You grew to
know them and, that what you
took to be n beauty at the first
meeting soon palled on you to the
extent of ceasing to interest you
Mt all. It's worth thinking about.

library you will find the finest
books ON serving refreshments,
and on games. I would suggest
that you serve a grain of COM
mon sense with both.

1t Is quite necessary that the
child's body shall be perfectly
comfortable and adequately
nourished to allow its mind to
adjust itself to this great change,
and 1t is the mothers duty to see
to this.
Breakfast for the child in
school should be hearty.
Many children are allowed to
form the light-breakfast habit,
because it consists of food that is
easiest to prepare and which lacks
variety. But If your child has
been up an hour and been bathed
and dressed carefully it will prob
ably be hungry.
Serve oatmeal, rice, cracked
wheat with fruit. Oatmeal can
be bought in bulk, cooked ten
minutes in a double boiler and
then put into fireless cooker the
might before 1t is served. 1t can
be eaten plain one morning and
warmed up in the double boiler
with stoned dates or raisins the
next morning.
Rice is fine served with apple,

Y. w. A. Entertainment.

The young people of the town
spent several hours very pleasantly
at the home of Mr.. Arthur Tomp-
kins Friday night. The members of
the Young Woman's Auxiliary gave
an entertainment in order to raise
money for their treasury, realizing
the sum Of $40. In addition to sew
eral vocal and instrumental selec-
tions, pleasing feature of enter
tainment was the writing of valen-
tines-some comic and others de-
cidedly sentimental. After all of the
valentines were collected the young
people assembled in the parlor and
requested Mr.. Tompkins to read
them aloud. The personal referen-
ces to some of the young men pres
ent that were contained in the
original valentines provoked much
laughter. After reading all of the
valentines, Mr.. Tomplsins. in behalf
of the hostess, presented Miss Annie
Darlington, an honoIed visitor in
Edgefeld, with box of beautiful
iaponicas.
The young ladies, assisted by
Mrs. A. E. Padgett, served a deli
cous salad course with coffee and
whipped cream.

strongly in favor of establishing
the high school and of providing
additional funds with which to run

Work" All knoy work is our life.
We all have to work in one way
or another, for without it nothing
can be accomplished. 1t takes work
and q lot of it to keep this old
world going. All that is great in
man came through work. OF course
there are people who die Of over
work but l believe more die of idle
ness, don't you?
Life is too short to spend it in
idleness and really l don't believe
an idle person is ever happy. We
were placed on this beautiful earth
to work and to try and make others
happy. There are SO many ways we
eau help to make the world better,
and our lives of more use. We can't
all do big things, but there are
many little things that we can do
and it is the little things that count;
so cousins don'L waste our precious
time.
Work for the night is coming.
Over and over the great wheels
turn, evening, twilight and morn
ing sun, what reward has our labor
won:
