Il hope SO, my child, It does
not take much philosophy to
make bearable my quiet life.
Margie, the greatest and most
horrible thing about growing old
is that We fight so against it

women of my age and see how
they try to interest themselves

the world, that their active lives

Don't you think, dear Mrs.
Selwin, 1t is because they have
had no active life? So many
women wake up on the eve of 40

this way, dear Mrs. Selwin. Men
having worked and thought and
lived life to its fullest are tired
and want to rest as age creeps on.
While women, who mostly
through force of circumstances
have dawdled away their youth,
suddenly realize the fact that ii

great longing unfulfilled. It is

Q.-Who is Helen Kellerf
Is she an author or lecturerf
G. T.
A.-Helen Keller is an Ameri-
can blind, deaf and dumb girl
who has been successfully edu-
Gated. She was born at Tuscunl-
bia, Ala, on the 9th of June,
1880. She was deprived of both
sight and hearing by a severe
illness when she was about two
years old. When she was z years
old, Miss Anna Sullivan of the
Perkins Institute for the Blind,
went to her home to take charge
Of her. She learned the deaf and
dumb language by touch, learned
to read by the Braille system,
and to write, using special type
writer; i'm 1900, she also learned
to speak. When IL years old,
she went to Boston, where she
has since lived; i'm 1906 she en-
tered the Cambridge School for
Young Ladies' to prepare for col
lege. Miss Sullivan went with
her to all classes, and REPEATED
the lectures and discussions by
touch. In 1900 she entered Rad
cliffe college, and was graduated
with hOnOrs i'm 1904. The work
Of her college course was done
with aid of Miss Sullivan, as in
the preparatory school; the text
books were printed in braille;
she wrote her examinations with
her own typewriter; and had spe-
cial conferences with her in
structOrs instead of taking part
in recitatiOns. In addition to do
ing the full college work, she
took part in the social life, and
was very popular with her
classmates. She has written
her autobiography under the title
of "StOry of My Life"

Dear Miss Grey: I want
to express my admiration for
you for the answer you gave
Miss 49,"
When l was her age I also
had the foolish idea that
when a boy took me to a
dance or show | had to pay
him back by allowing him to
kiss me; but after l grew
older and more sensible I
"cut it out" When l was
at that young and foolish
age and allowed kissing l
never had one proposal.
Since l have quit it, l have
had seven.
Since l have discarded
spooning I have more boy
friends and more fun than
most girls of my age. I
could go with a different
boy every day in the week
for a month and not allow
one of them to kiss me. OF
course they all want me to
and even ask me too, but
the sensible ones admire and
appreciate a girl more when
she refuses.
It's the girls like Miss
10" who spoil the boys. Most
fellows think If they can
kiss one girl they can kiss
them all. I have some broth
ers, and have heard fellows
talk about girls who are
free with their kisses and
the things they say aren't
very flattering.

ABOUT THE RINGS
 ON THE OYSTER

4 popular theory about rings on an oyster shell being an indication of it's age is not supported by the careful investigation of Miss Ann L. Massy, who tested specimens from the oyster station at Ardfry, at he head of Galway bay.
 It has been supposed by many that each ring. or group, on the oysters deep valve stood for years growth. But Miss Massy says that this de- duetion is not reliable. After a patient scrutiny of over 500 samples of various ages, from IS months to 6 years, she says: "An oyster of 18 months or two summers appears to possess at least two rings, but may have as many as five.
 @One of three summers has at least twa rings and may have six. 4 four-year-old oyster may have only three rings or may possess seven or eight"
