Daysey Mayme
AndHer Folks
By FRANCES L. GARs1DE.

THERE is a ring at woman's
door. In the two minutes that
elapse before she opens it she
cleans house, looks at herself in the
glass, brushes her front hair back
and her back hair front, dabs powder
on her nose, and opens the door look

cares as if she had been graphing
with Browning.
There was a ring at the door of
Lysander John Appleton's home. and
in the two minutes that elapsed be-
fore opening it, Daysey Mayme did
all this, and more: She put ink on
her fingers.

the door
Her Best Beloved, She was glad
she had on her prettiest dress, realiz-
ing. as only the temperamental can,
how much depends on special scenery,
and she led the way into the parlor
with happy smile.
She turned to take his hat. Sud
denly the look of joy turned to an icy
glare. She grew rigid with her eyes
fixed above his head.

Her reply was a leap in the air that
landed her over his head. Thcn she
jumped to the top If the plano; In
another instant she had leaped to the
center table, always with her eyes
fixed in a rigid stare and with her
hands outstretched,
There was a frenzied plunge to the
floor, a dive under the lounge, from
which she emerged to engage in
wild chase around and around, knock

ing her guest under feet.

Snap Shots
BY LILLIAN LAUFERTY.

Ooh. Cupid is a foxy lad,
- He knows what he's about;
He gets you into awful
sCrapes-
But he never gets you out.
If e'er he coaxes you to wed,
You'll find it wise to tarry;
Do everything that Cupid does
But Cupid does not marry!"
Love is such a mystery,
l can not find ii out,
For when 1 think I'm most resolved,
Then l am most in doubt"
He either fears his fate too much,
Or his deserts are small
Who dare not put it to the touch
To win or lose it all"
How pitiful 'twere II when one
Fair rose had blown,
The bush should droop, it's bearing
done,
Its vigor flown.
How pitiful 'twere II when
We love and lose,
We might not find the way again
That love pursues"

have done their days labor and are
taking their ease. They are at the
best time of life. and if they are wor-
rying any about their lot, they GER
tainly don't show It.
There was a time when age had
terrors for the woman who did not
marry and when to be an old maid
was to be the butt of the ridcule Of
fools. That time has passed. Instead
Of being an object of pity or scorn,
the old maid is the subject Of envy
and admiration She has her place in
the world, her interests in life, her
mission to humanity. and all that age
brings her IS the boon Of greater free
dom and of wider liberty than is pos
sible TO the young girl.
Seldom Object.
There was never a time in the
worlds history when age meant as
little 10 women as it does now, and
that they appreciate this is shown
by the fact that you seldom hear the
subject discussed or see a woman
who objects to telling how old she IS.
There are so many more things of in
terest now than the fountain of per-
petual youth that we've ceased to
hunt for it.
At any rate. we are all wise enough
to know that nothing stops the
clock. It goes on ticking off birth
days, whether we lie about them or
not, and the only thing TO do is to
make the best of il. Time is only an
enemy to woman when she makes 1t
go When she accepts 1t as a friend,
1t brings her the choicest blessings
of life.

Why | amt worrying any myself
not little bit! You see. it's some
thing new I've pulled off. Nobody

He faced Burke with a grin of
gloating again.

The mans manner imposed on
Burke, though Mary felt the torment
that his vainglory was meant to

put the question with an eagerness
that seemed all sincere.
Burke answered with a fine feeling
of generosity.

BY DOROTHY DIX.

a POOR, foolish woman has writ
~ ten me letter about a great
reform that she wants to see
inaugurated. She proposes to abolish
age by denying that any such thing
exists
She says that the lives of many
women are made wretched by the
thought of growing old, and that
thousands of women ruin their health
and bring on insanity by worrying
over their age. To prevent this ca
tastrophe she would have a law
passed preventing the papers publish
ing anything about age and forbid
ding people to ask each other how
old they are, or to speak of age in any
manner whatever, In fact, she would
make age the one taboo subject in
the world, and she thinks that the
result would be that everybody would
be young and happy, and kittenish.
I'm sorry that l can't undertake to
push my correspondents reform along,
but l can think of nothing more hor-
rible than a world in which every
body was young and foolish. or aping
the manners and the appearance of
youth. It would be like picture
without any softening shadows like
music without any minor chord in it,
like a day that was all garish noon
without any purple haze of twilight.
1t takes age to ripen humanity, to
give It flavor and sweetness, Just as
much as it does wine, and the society
Of the intelligent man or woman of
so or so, who has seen and known
life, is as much superior to that of the
boy and girl of IS or 90 as the vim
tage of 1863 IS to that of 1912.
Youths Desire.
Naturally, all of US desire to keep
young in the sense of keeping our
bodies vigorous and our minds alert,
but barring that what have we to
fear from the years, why should we
so dread the coming Of age? Espe-
cially why should women worry about
growing old until they reach the point
Of distraction, as my correspondent
AYERS that they do?
II a woman has been a raving. tear
ing beauty, we can understand her
agony at age robbing her complexion
of its fairness. her hair of its lus-
ter her eyes of their brightness.
But not one woman in a thousand

TO-DAY'S INsTALLMENT.

The tension of a moment grew, be-
came pervasive. Burke, accustomed
as he was to scenes of dramatic vio-
lence, now experienced an altogether
unfamiliar thrill. AS for Carson, once
again the surge of feeling threatened
to overwhelm his self-control. He
must not break down! For Mary's
sake, he must show himself stoical,
quite undisturbed in this supreme
hour.
OF a sudden an inspiration came to
him, a means to snap the tension, to
create a diversion wholly efficacious.
He would turn to his Boosting again,
would call upon his vanity which he
knew well as his chief foible. and
make it serve as the foil against his
love. He strove manfully to throw
off the softer mood. In a measure, at
least, he won the fight-though al
ways, under the rush Of this vaunt-
ing, there throbbed the anguish of
his heart

Beauty Secrets of Beautiful Women
Gertrude Vanderbilt Talks on Beauty as an Art
By Lillian LAUFERTY.

TT HERE is nothing of the toIl-not
neither-do-the y-spin, lily Of
the-field simplicity about being
a beauty. The woman who is
not beauty wishes to become one: the
woman who approaches beauty wishes
to take the whole trip to her goal of
loneliness, and the woman who is truly
beautiful wants to conserve her
charms, remembering that the flower
that once has bloomed forever dies"
In fact the old quotations, In conf
dence we would say. for all of this you
have to pay" applies with ever new
force to the pursuit OF loneliness.
Slender. pretty Gertrude Vanderbilt
has been well endowed by nature, and
yet She works and studies increasingly
in the pursuit of greater beauty in her
art-and in face and figure, too She
was one of the stars at the Forsyth
theater last week Perhaps you know
her
Dressed in a simple little eponge
frock of soft brown that toned in with
her hair, she sat on the big cretonns
covered couch in her room. and told
me Of the work and sacrifices she
knows in order to approach thte two
goals of beauty and success.
