WHEN YOUTHFUL CHARMS
FADE.

Too late, alasi I must confess
You need not arts to move me;
Such charms by nature, you possess,
'Twere madness not to love ye."
II there is young woman of whom
others are envious, inclined to be
somewhat jealous of, it is one of the
fascinating kind of beauties. Every
man with whom she comes in contact
is smitten by her charms, usually, if
his heart is not in the keeping of
another. She is not ene of those
whom men turn in disgust from, a
jolly f1irt; nor is she coquette, given
to making conquest with first one, and
then another. The older girls of her
set, who have not been successful in
their love affairs, that might have
led them to the altar, although dis
liking her, keep in with her, to find
out by careful watching what her un-
failing power is; in fact just how to
catch beau. They believe the best
way of improving their monotonous
ways is to study her clever attractive
ness, self-assurance, style and indie
pendence of those around her, which
seems to amuse the men who linger
by her side. She is generally not
over-sensitive; keeps her nerves in
perfect control and appears uncon-
cerned in regard to her charms, as
if they were to last through life.
1t is nothing more than can be ex-
pected from among the men who
crowd about her. She yields her
charms to one who seeks her in mar
riage. After she has been welded for
few years the talk of the town,
which raved over her beauty, becomes
nonplussed at the unexpected change
in her appearance. Her husband had
become a prepossessing, spruce-look-
ing man, who showed neither his age
nor care taken upon himself. Alas,
the features of the former beautiful
wife and the wi1lowy figure had
changed-not for the better, as she
had fondly wished would be her lot.
When upon such a woman a man
whom she welded gazes with young
eyes, he does not need to tell her he
is admiring her for the same beauty
he priced in their counting days.
Gently ne holds her plump little hand
and assures her that, despite the
changes, she is still beautiful in his
eyes and that she has made herself
necessary to his happiness. How
welcome those words are; how con-
vincing to her heart. This is won
drous love and should be a parallel
case with every married couple who
have given their hearts and happiness
into each others keeping. The wo-
they notice how her youthful charms
have faded. She does rot weep in
the privacy of her own home. She
has faith in the man who won her
for loves sake. Her happiness is
unseen by those who measure life
from its changing attractions; by the
roses which have faded from her
cheeks, instead of the sweet, sensible
expression of features. she is thank
full for his deep, unchanging affec-
ton, knowing that there are many
unhappy wives who would give any
possession that were theirs for such a
husbands devotion. Jealousy does
not enter into the life of the husband
very often whose wife has only ordi-
nary yet pleasant looks. He does not
have to take her out of the city and
urge her to live on quiet farm,
where she will see nobody but him
self. She makes friends with the wo-
men who are shy about bringing q
woman of rare beauty where their
loved ones are. In fact, it is often q
feather in the cap of women to be
born with good, lasting qualities in
stead of perishable, envious beauty.
