The speciality at the other ex-

tries. It is the study Of dis"
eases Of the aged. It naturally
cannot hope to make such
progress as pediatrics. The
stimulus the pediatrician has is
the vigor and responsiveness Of
the young bodies he treats.

edge of the treatment Of many
of the diseases particularly
likely to afflict old people has
been accumulating at a great
rate during the last decade.
The treatment of heart disease,
of diabetes, Of perniciouS anemia,
of superficial skin cancers, is in
every case far more scientific
and satisfactory than it was.
The fact which Startles most

Pediatrics is the department.

diseases of children. OF all
specialties it has developed the
most rapidly in the present
century. Not only has knowl-
edge advanced, but the attitude
of the men who practice in
this speciality, their unselfish
devotion to the very exacting
conditions Of such practice, is
the most wholesome Of any
medical speciality.
A ChiId's Great Chance
This is proper, because if a
child takes the trouble to get

should be assured of living to
do its work. And such asSur-

A Lady Of Thirty Is Puzzled

A Lady Of Thirty Is Puzzled
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
If a lady Of 80 keeps steady
company with q man IS for q
year and a half, and the man
when questioned admits he
likes the lady, but never men,
tions marriage, should the lady
drop the affair or just what
should she do?
Does a man send flowers,
candy, greeting cards, at the
usual seasons, to his steady
girl? Thanks.
.:, BESSIE.
It's all up to the lady. If this
"unconfesSed' affair brings her
more happiness than unhappi-
ness, it seems wiser to keep on
with it because, at 80, her
chances of attracting men
friends are fewer than If she
were younger Unless, = OF
course, She Is an exceptional
type-sorne women are 80 years
young and much more attrac-
tive than girls of 10 or 20.
But If the lady Of 80 frets
herself into a nervous wreck
over the proposal that never
comes-if she loses sleep, gets
haggard worrying over a
steady who declines to come
to the point-She'd better
quit. Some Of the tried and

ried, as if the other girl has
supplanted you in the boy
friends affections. It was up
to you to accept or refuse to
go motoring with the boy, but
it was silly to stop speaking to
him. Don't stop speaking to
people unless there is some good
and definite reason for doing
so. To stop speaking is only a
refuge for hurt pride, you get
q "kick" out Of it for the mo-
ment and spend the rest Of the
time wondering how you can
make up. Go ahead and speak
to the boy as if nothing had
happened. Why he should put
a time limit on going out with
you is a mystery to me as it's
to YOU.

Of every man that he will never
forget: The night when he met
the girl, the first night he
kissed her, the first night in
Venice, lots of nights in Paris
and the night when he left his

There are times when a hus-
band has such sublime faith in
his wife's immunity to flattery
or romance that it is almost an
insult to her vanity.
The thing that most plaques

woman is the discovery that
she expects him to "win" her
