THOUGHTS OF AN OID-FAsHIONED WOMAN

med that I hold very dear the old

.noa way of loving. Do you know ]
80 help but like the chivalry and
va beautiful courtesy our menfolk, old
~ Young used to have toward women,
all women.
We hot" or I'm just crazy about it,
~ aDog- gone that" or Darn it. I feel
,omething of the disappointment that

perfume.
n be able to make ones own way in
the world, but really. must we lose the
harm and dignity and beauty of man
ner and speech just for that? T love
the girl who is brave, who is ready to
hear not only her own burdens but
raady to reach out a willing hand to
,nother's help. I really do not believe
N the "clinging vine" type nor do at
all admit it
But like a bright, beautiful day, or
o sweet, strong breeze, full of joy and
life. is the wonderful girl, who, can
he her own natural self. strong true.
cIear-visioned and brave OF soul.
But I was talking of old fashioned
things, and among other things love
are the old-fashioned mothers, the
mothers who loved their little children
and gave something of their own very
souls to them. They may not have won
manv prizes at bridge, they may not
have known the latest dance step or
the delightful details of the last case of
matrimonial infidelity and the great
fascination of having the love (?) OF
another woman's husband beside their
own. they may not have known many
Of the latest things in hats or gowns,
but they did know how to teach a little
child it's prayers and put it to bed with
n kiss and a last goodnight.
The old-fashioned mother was the
friend and confident Of her girl and
boy, and the little girl who ought to
be loving her dolls was not loving "her
fellow" and getting a dope" and dis
cussing styles. Well, like the old
fashioned bushes, the bushes that
came and went on a girls face and
glorified it with beauty and charm
no cream or rouge could ever bestow.
like the old-fashioned men who could
make those splendid, courtly bows, a
bow that almost made you feel like a
queen; the men who were always po-
lite to a woman. not a stylish dress.
OF course, do not decry all the new
fashioned fashions, but in my heart of
hearts there is a very tender feeling
for the things of long ago.
Sometime may talk of an old garden
and big, old mansion home and the
nrfn sF,,1
solemn that linger amid the dim.
shadowy rooms and pass through the
generous, stately doors, the doors of
hospitality and friendliness. but, we'll
not just now.
