How the impression of the Youth of Twenty-one Is Properly Resented
 by His Elders.

That reporting is young mans business is illustrated in some news paper every day by some news item telling about something, usually un- fortunate, that happened to an old man or an aged woman, the Ohio State Journal observes. Often the aged person. 1t develops somewhere in the story, is fifty-three, we will say, or somewhere between fifty and six ty. As every editor has reason to know, this youthful point of view of the reporters Lot infrequently is re sented by the aged person referred to. To be run over by the motorcar was bad enough, but to be called aged is der seventy seems old to himself, and many between seventy-ive and eighty would rather not be considered aged.
 We talk hopefully of a mans being only as old as he feels, but no matter how he feels man of fifty impresses the youth of twenty-one as verging upon the sere and yellow, if not al- ready there. Our memory goes back to the time when woman of thirty five looked almost hopelessly aged to us, and now we know vivacious girls of forty. And Daisy Ashford opened her immortal work by remarking: 'tMr. Salteena was an elderly man Of forty-two." We don't know at what age elderliness begins for Daisy now, but if she lives long enough she will reach the roint where her way of classifying Mir. Salteena would he to say that he was young man of forty two.

"If 1t were jade trinket inscribed with Chinese mys- teries, you might imagine that it would be sought by some one-I have heard of such things-but Alice's fan has no such history"

 In spite of the complete satisfaction I had expressed to Terrence as to the perfect integrity and honest intentions of the two women, the curiosity of the American state department and the visit of Montani required elucidation beyond my powers.
