streets. or one who walks on the left
side of the street or crosses the street
indifrerently. not following an estab-

AN Old Lady" We are all inclined
to think simply because we have
passed a certain number of summers
and winters we are growing old. and
we talk old, act old, and look old. We
should reverse this order and think
young. talk young. act young, look
young and then we will just naturally
be young. "a l am sending two of
your songs. but do not have THE
Star and the Flower" am sure some
Of our readers who has 1t Will, be
