The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-06-06

Was there ever a spruce old man who did not firmly believe that he was fooling the world at large and espe- c1aFly women in regard to his age? If he has reached the haH-century mark, person could not pet his van ity better than by telling him that he does not look to be forty. Talk about the vanity of women! It does not com pare with that of man if he is ac- tually vain.
 What would people think the world was coming to if fashionable res taurants were filled night after night by women who were aged enough to sit in the chimney corner at home nursing their rheumatic twinges and hardening arteries who stro1led in leaning upon the arm of inexperienced youths in their early twentfes, wined and dined them, hopping up and talk ing to the waxed dancing floor every time the band struck up a new fox trot or dance fad of the hour? The elderly Beau Brummels consider that they are quite within their rights in escorting the youngest and prettiest girl they know. They do not look to her for wit, vivacity interesting conversation. All that. Is required of her is to sit and look youthful and listen.
 They escort the girl home, satisfied with themselves believing beyond all
 
 given the maiden a delightful evening amid the music, fine dinner, lights, 1 flowers and dancing. Nine out of ten very young girls might accept the e1- 1 der1y beaus hospitality with charm ing. grace. She has enjoyed every thing to the full. There was but one l thing lacking to make her evening an ideal one and that was youthful com 1 panionship. All the wealth of the In dies cannot turn back the wheel o1 time, changing an old beau into g lyoung one, or cause the heart of youth to beat in the breast where an old head sits on the shoulders. l The old, dapper beau may have swal- lowed the whole encyclopedia of know ledge far books go, but he has never been able to figure out the cor rectness of other peoples notion about youth and age being incompatible ir i the love scheme. Of course there are cases where middle aged, aye, ever elderly, men have welded youthful loves and lived happily ever after, but these cases, like angels visits, are few and far between. It would be difficult to imagine a youth enthusing over mulch over the caressing handc1asp o1 | the nidd1e-aged spinster or even the a1luring widow of forty, plump and still good to look upon.
 Old heads will always appreciate young hearts. but will young hearts always find their chief delight in the companionship of old heads? Upor this mooted question some one ha: somewhere said: 'tIn growing old some men become more foo1ish-ye more wise,'' to which Byron has add. led:
 ''Time. who changes all, had altered
 him
 In soul and aspect as in age; year. 1 steal
 l limb;
 And ife's enchanted cup but spark1e
 near the brim.''
 Tn choosing companions, one should attempt to strike a happy medium fl regard to years. Youth has its hopes ambitions and dreams yet to be real tized. Age clamps the lid down o1 hopes and ambition. Age banks upol it's experiences.

TAKE REMED1Es'' ADVERTISED

No doubt some of the medicines advertised are fakes, but these never have any lasting success. They stand in striking contrast to the good old standard, dependable remedies, like Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, which has stood the test of time and for more than forty years has been al1eviating the suffering of womankind. Such medicines are a blessing to the community and will continue their good work from one generation to another.-Adv.

 BREAK ENGAGEMENTS

L. P. z. complains: "I am IS, going about with a young man of 21. We are engaged to marry. He 'slies' off with girls. Takes them to shows. Fibs to me, I find. Do you think proper that I break the engagement?'' Cannot be sure whether 'thearsays'' about him are made up. Jealousy of ten is wholly unwarranted. If kept up, love cools. Engagements then have to be broken.

STEEL EXPORTS
HIT HIGH MARK

New York, Dec. 9.-ThS tonnage OF
untitled orders Of the United States
Steel company has reached new high
level of 11,058,524 tons.
The government estimate regarding
expectation of steel and iron products
published here today, place the ex.
ports for the ten months of this year
at 4,96S,2S5 tons. 1t is estimated that
iron and steel exports this year will
surpass all previous records by Is
percent.
A tonnage statement, issued at
11:55 a. M. caused an advance in
prices on the stock exchange during
final trading. United States Steel
sold at 1895 during nervous mo.
ment around II o'clock which sent
most speculative leaders back. The
movement was professional. Weak
ness continued until near closing hour,
when Utah Copper advanced two
points, and publication of the steel
untitled tonnage report was followed
by further advances. The close was
strong, except for weakness in few
specialties. ..

David Lloyd Georges appointment
is alluring to, Americans because his

For fear of giving comfort to the
