Follows Precedent In Using
 Others Ideas, Says c. B. Shaw

| Accused of plagiarism. George Ber-
 nard Shaw unblushingly confessed that he IS a thief of good ideas wherever he
 can find them. and Is quite proud of 1t as he is only following the footsteps of William Shakespeare, Mo1ier and other dramatists, all notable in their way,
 but inferior to him. An industrious stu dent of English literature, writing in the Literary Echo," has discovered a remarkable similarity between the much h-praised "Pygmalion" and "Pere- grine Pickle"
 Those who have forgotten the details Of Smollett's tale may be reminded that In one episode of the story the hero, in very much the same way as the pro- lessor in "Pygmalion" purchases for a small sum young street girl from her mother. A thorough washing and new clothes produce a remarkable transfor- nation in the neglected child Encour- aged by this and convinced that the difference between the accent of the up- per class and the sA-eet Is at the bot tom small one, the hero gives his protege lessons In enunciation, or, as MT. Shaw has it. phonetics, and boasts, that he will be able to introduce her into society.
 The girl shows herself highly adapta- Die, only one habit, the use of paths, she cannot break away from Like Eliza in the play, the street child is intro duced first into the circle of the hero's relatives and then into great social celebrations with complete success even her paths, like Elizas occasional lapses, are admired as a mark of great originality
 At this point comes the only differ ence between "Peregrine Pickle" and "Pygmalion" Eliza in the play marries her professor; the Eliza of "Peregine" runs away with footman

YOUTHFULNESS OF HEART
 AND SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE
/oUTHFuLNEss of heart and the

/OUTHFULNESS of heart and the
 spirit of adventure always seem
 A to go together. They don't de- pend in the least on the number of years you may lay claim to; in fact, as the , years pass on. the spirit of adventure may grow and grow and grow within you and at the same time certain youth ful zest for life and for enjoyment may spring, whose latent possibilities you have never even suspected. Age, they say. doesn't really matter just so long as the heart is young, and some of the youngest people you know have the oldest hearts, while some of the reat-grandmothers and grandfathers you know have the sporting spirit before which their youngest grandchid is dull and insipid.
 It isn't such a very hard atter to keep the heart young after all, but so few people know how to set about 1t in the right way, and that's why everywhere there are so many young-old, tired faces with an oddly disillusioned look about them that shows the early bloom of life has fled ere youth itself be past. They have nothing new to learn in a world that for them has already become stale, fiat and unprofftable.
 And why? Because they have lived too hard, have tasted life not as a connois- seur who fingers over the game, but with feverish hectic zest that Kills and de- stroys, instead of satisfies, and therefore, though in years they are still young, their hearts have long since grown des- perately old.
 Youthfulness of heart is the greatest possession this world offers, and yet at the same time it forms an armor which f,,11x nrdc off ~T1n n sSI md 1 F. rows of outrageous fortune; for youth fitness of heart implies a certain bound- ing of the pulses, certain elasticity of the mind, that refuses to be crushed and that springs back into the old point of view every time.
 The gradual creeping ons of old age has been too often regarded as something menacing and very dreadful, for the years are supposed to deaden iIeeling, to dull emotion, and to kill the spirit of adven- ture.
 "The foot less quick to meet the morn
 ing dew,
 The heart less bounding at emotion new, And hope once crushed, less quick to rise again."
 With the passing of the years the heart need not grow old, for if the plan of life is well balanced if the viewpoint is keen, and if real interest is taken in life as an absorbing thing, then the heart must always be young.
 Youthfulness of heart means keenness of sympathy: we must keep giving, giv- ing giving all the time.
 The spirit of adventure is something that keeps the heart young. There are some people whom force of circumstance compels to remain in the same place all ways, yet there are many others who de- liberately choose to remain in the same

little, old, remote corner when they could be travelling, roaming around the world and storing their minds and memories with wonderful impressions and life-giv. ing interests.
 Home staying minds have ever homely wits, so the saying goes, and it carries with it a large modicum of truth, for the man or woman who has no ambition beyond the little corner of the earth where they are content to live and move and have their being is certainly sadly destitute of the spirit of adventure, and there is something strangely lacking in their makeup.
 The men and women of history who have become immortal through the eter- nal youthfulness of their hearts are legion, and they have all achieved some thing worth while, or as the French say, they have arrived
 When the heart is young, the outward appearance keeps certain air of youth funess. too. The radiance of the per- enially young heart seems to shine through with physical attraction and magnetism.
 The celebrated Ninon de FEnclos, for instance had crowds of adoring lovers when she was quite old in years. Her eightieth birthday was the occasion for an ardent proposal of marriage, and all because she possessed the eternal spirit of youthfulness, for when the heart is young the passing of the years really doesn't matter at all
