WHAT IS 4 HE VAHP?

"Vou do not have TO be a he-vamp in order TO

lie was referring TO the fact that George Wash
ington could not have competed with Tommy AIeig-
han or Wallace Reid in the movies on the grounds
OF personal beauty
There have been but few prominent men in all his
tory who could be chosen models OF manly beauty
as interpreted by the artist the sculptor or the
film director
But the statement does raise question TO just
what constitutes attractive male before whose
personal appearance the feminine heart is supposed
TO bow in alteration.
The famous Blue Beard of Paris. who dies soon

authors than because of their own personality
Woman has ever been more discerning than man
The pretty face OF the stage beauty has always

The traits OF a feminine vamp are distinctive and

Why HE LIVED.

they laughed at the doctor who wrote, some 20
years ago a little book entitled How 10 Live 20
Re a Hundred Years Old"
TIE died this week lacking just SO days of the
mark he had set possible for all men and women
who would follow his rules
Inssmuch as centenarians are unusual and be-
cause most people relish the thought that this IS
good world and oathe TO leave it, his rules are
important.
Keep alive your interest in new things" was the
edmonton which differed from the regimen laid
down by other physicians as a means Of prolonging
life
when the mind lives in the past the body begins
its inevitable decay.
When the brain closes against the rejuyenauon
OF a new idea. that brain is dead to all practical
purposes
whether one lives to be a hundred or TO fifty or
TO twenty years is not important as to live each
one Of the days allotted 20 life.
The only thing that makes life worth living is
the new experience that each day brings, the one
more step towards a definite goal
Time Is not important Experience is For life
the total OF experiences that reflected in
emotions.
The mind so contented that away from
the invention Of today, that does not welcome the
new thought that is adamant against the new truth
that comes from science or invention, Is worthless.
Today is a wonderful era. Tomorrow viii be
wonderful-but the person who cannot accept the
truths Of tomorrow is part of that glorious day
and might as wen be I'm his mausoleum walking
about the earth.
THAT this rule OF the doctor who just missed prov
ing his own viii actually prolong the days upon
earth may be debated.
That # will give pleasure and profit to such days
are spent here is beyond question
