And yet / know, Pm growing old
What then is age2 not to forget,
Nor cease 20 feel loves true-heart

And quickened memories which let
One feel afresh loves cheering

All life untouched By fresher tints,
As setting sun throw brighter
glints
Age is To life, times final touch,
A Haunting picture toning down,
When sober thoughts comes on, and
much
OF hfe's deep mystery is found
The play is closed, the curtains fall
The lights extinguished-is this

And Is this ALTO act no more2
To be forgotten by the throng?

The dying echoes Of a song;
The speaking lips now cold and mute,
A broken chord, a rifted lutte

With hours when tempest shook

Mrs. Stillman is determined to have
"A more secret star chamber hearings

tase BY James A. Stilman.
The deposed president Of the National
CITY Bank has brought two new wit
nesses from Canada to testify for him
vhen the new hearings in his divorce
suit ere resumed.
The witnesses are from Three Riv-
ara. Quebec. and that is all that was
known OF them last night except they
are now in New York preparing their
testimony.
New Charges Against Wife
This is the bomb with which the
Anancier hopes to wreck Mrs. Anne
Trmhart Stillmans defense. 1t is
conceded that their testimony will seek
10 involve the wife deeper in an
intrigue with Fred Beauvais, the guide,
and inferentially strike ut the legiti-
macy of Guy Stillman, the disputed
babe,
Mrs. Stillman has instructed her legal
advisers to fight for open hearings in =
stead of camouflaged secret hearings
with a loophole for evidence to escape
that may hurt her case.
There are several new sensations
ready to be sprung soon after the hear
ings are resumed in Poughkeepsie on
Wednesday.

Of the National City Bank. is TO be put

Should this happen Poughkeepsie will
have ON next Thursday or Friday an
exhibition of Broadway shades of hair
and costumes that will startle.
Another move will be made today to
amend Mrs. Stillman's answer by the
addition Of two other women to share
the position of Mrs. Florence Lawler

Brennan admits on this score is that one
Of the added names will be "Helen. -
