is wonderfully we'll preserved. For a
man of affairs, one who holds within
his grasp untold wealth. and one who
has solved great problems. it would
almost seem that he had found the
fountain of youth.
His step is light and buoyant. his
eye Is bright and sparkling, his wit is
keen and his conversation is YER

Observing him impersonally, or, rath-

not as the richest man in the world,
he impresses one as wonderful char
acter. Despite the many things that
have been written or said of him, there
are depths in the soul of this million
aire that only his most intimate friends
have ever fathomed. His love of ma
ture. his wonderful appreciation of
trees. his thought for them and of ev-
cry living thing that grows are shown
in his care of them.
That is why he has done very little
toward identifying Forest Hill this

serve its natural beauty: instead Of
cutting and pruning the vines, he
wanted them to trail as they would,

Shall she have all the links from one

That is the momentous question.

be rank heresy-much worse in col

Lots of Big Words is the latest to
to Give Dance. lure sue'e of the 20 mod ode
ern dance, and its recent announcement
that a series of three subscription
dances, with up-to-date features, will
be given in its very attractive club
rooms this winter in Chicago has
caused emotions among the elect re-
ceivfng them that are closely akin to
CONSERVATION.
The club made its concession to the
modern craze not without qualms of
conscience, and it's announcement of
the frivolitieS to which the organiZa-
ton has descended is couched in terms
that are almost apologize in tone. 1t
even mildly deprecates the need of
making such concession to the popu-
lar demand. which will cause the
glee.
But to he properly appreciated the
announcement must be given, so here
il is:
1T appears that the avocation of the
modern man is the dance No longer
does 1t serve merely as the stimulus
TO the exuberant spirits of giddy youth,
but has become the solace of staid age
and the pride which once was felt in
the nimbleness of the wits has been
quite overshadowed by the pleasure
taken in the agility Of the feet. With
the caution advisable in a club the
mem bership whereof was supposed to
ind its chief interest in the things per-
tanning to the extreme opposite end of
'the body. the management wished to
gauge as accurately as might be the
general sentiment before yenturing on
untried paths. The indications have
CT hot hny
mined to give a series of three dances
during the present season.
In order to be assured of the interest
OF the members in this important mat
ter. these will be subscription dances,
with small fee for the series. If fifty
men sign the subscription blanks >this
VIII be considered sufficient. and while
the sum thus obtained will not pay

rest, proud to realize that there is such
convincing evidence of physical vigor
