sons Of specified ages. -"
The editorial goes on to point
out that the Military and Naval
academies set age limits for en-
trance, and that the commission
is merely ruling that persons
should not begin in routine Fed
eral positions at 40. Another
aspect of the controversy, it
states. is "jobs," without vital
consideration Of intelligent per-
sonnet practice and planning.
Civil service procedure has al
ways involved the fixing of age
limits, both maximum and mini
mum, for examinations. the com.
mission explained today.
Limit for Mail Clerks
AS Harry B. Mitchell, president
Of that agency, pointed out re-
Gently, the maximum age limit
for employment Of railway mail
clerks has for many years been
IS years. and no complaints were
made about that.
The Commissions practice has
been to set lower age limits for
less important jobs than for those
calling for scientific and technical
skill. With routine jobs. the age
limits have been relatively low,
and the same is true. of course,
with respect to jobs calling for
work of specially arduous nature.
On the other hand, age limits
as high as SO years have custom
arily been fixed for jobs requiring
special skill and proficiency. and
occasionally even these limits
have been exceeded. In the case
of certain scientific positions, for
example, the age limit ranges up
ward to so.
Consequently, the Commission
contends, no new principle is in
volved in setting a limit of 40
years for stenographer-typiSt ex-
aminations.

that delicate beauty Of hers
that had drawn him irresistibly.
Impossible to forget her. She
was SO different from the other
girls he knew. There was a
fragrance, a dewiness about
her.
AS though life hadn't really
touched her. AS though she
were a being set apart from
all the roughnesS and the
crudity.
A flying sweetness fragil-
ity.

He looked down at her bright
head with its filigree Of SUM-
shine scattering through the
leaves above making a gay
pattern. He saw the purity Of
her pale and delicate features
that were like a cameo. There
was something infinitely APP
pealing about her.
He had found it well nigh i'm
possible to believe she was a
widow with a breezy reputa-
ton, and three marriages be-
hind her-each mating uncon-
genial.
He had thrust the thought
away from him when in the
presence Of this girl.
She had seemed so fresh

what made you say that
thing just now?" gently she
asked of him.
And Tony, looking down at
her through his thick tangle Of
lashes, his face quite pale under
his tan, answered her.
Because, Gloria. everything
about you is so sweet and Won
derful. 1t isn't your beauty
alone that's made me long to
see you again-to dream Of
this meeting. It's YOU yourself
the real girl who seemed to
radiate such character-Such-
oh! It's an indefinable word
suppose one would call it
charm in a woman. It's some-
thing that you've got that no
one else has got whom I have
met-Something elusive and ap-
pealing. I suppose, Gloria"

tightened-"the best definition
of what mean, is the bloom

in her young life-She with the
face that at this moment had
the white purity Of a snowdrop.
If there were dark things in
her life, he'd thrust them to one
side. he'd teach her to forget
them. though the knowledge
that she wasn't as he wanted
her to be would hurt him terri
bly,.
For when an Irishman falls
in love with the one woman in
the world, he sets her on a
pedestal as goddess, and
kneelS at her feet, worshipping
her purity.
Of such was Tony O'Brien
fashioned in his Utmost heart,
flirt though he had been. He
was an idealiSt.
And the image of this pale
and pretty face, this sweet and
modest manner had stirred up
all the dreams in him.
This ideal girl ne wanted ner
to be. She was. He wouldn't
permit her to step from her
pedestal.
So now he said, in a husky
tone: IT should never believe a
single thing against you any,
how, Gloria"
She raised her blue, blue eyes
to his. There was a CLINT of
tears in them-Gor was it Just
their natural loneliness?

breath. Her eyes were shining.
And d'you know why I, too,
feel that way?" It's because

Tony.

her her deception.

I met you it was Tony and

"Oh, that was silly!" But
Nollie blushed adorably.
He told her so. He told her
that she was even lovelier here
among the trees and flowers
than she'd been in her grand
gown in the theater.

Her heart rose at those
words. So he liked her just as
well-and more-in her little
sports dress that had only cost
a few dollars.
