Daysey May me and Her Folks
BY FRANCES L, GARSIDE.
IT is a question which is the easier,
to go forward at a church revival
or to slide backward after it is
over.
Lysander John Appleton and his wife
went forward. Far be it from us to
watch for the time when they will be
gin to slide backward.
When a man and his wife are seen
together on the streets it is usually one
of two occasions—they are going to a
family reunion or a funeral.
The exception ruled in the case of
Lysander John and his wife, who were
on the streets together on their way to
a revival service.
The revivalist was one of the weeping
sort. Ke told such woeful and wamful
tales of unrepentant deathbeds that be
fore he had concluded his hearers were
in such a state of weeping, and over
charged saturation of grief that one
had only to poke a finger into a sinner
and his tears began to flow.
It was like touching a sponge that
was soaked till It could hold no more.
Mrs. Appleton. being sentimental,
aoon succumbed, and fairly dripped in
her woe. Lysander John, being sympa
thetic. blinked his eyes and blew his
nose, and wished he hadn't come.
Both went forward for prayers, Mrs.
Appleton because it was customary for
her to get converted, and habit Is ev
erything, and Lysander John to escape
the reproachful eyes of those already
saved.
That night on the way home Lysan
der John confessed his greatest crime

"T robbed the refrigerator," he said,
"and let you believe some one had
broken into the house.
"But it was a great disappointment.''
he aald, feeling that even In his moment
of spiritual exaltation he must defend
himself.
ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
YOU ARE TOO YOUNG FOR THAT.
Dear Mis® Fairfax;
T<a®t Saturday night I met a gen
tleman who is twenty-one, nearly six
years older than myerft. He has asked
me to give my other gentlemen friends
up and go with him. He likes me very
much and I like him.
CONSTANT READER
A girl es fifteen is too young to let
her friendship for the boys be made
serious by monopoly. That Is proper
only when an engagement exists, and
vou are five to six years too young for
that. Refuse his proposal, and refuse
positively. It is for your own good.
AN INCREDIBLE CASE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am eighteen, and have been in love
with a man five years my senior for
three years. It seems Impossible for us
to get acquainted. I know he really
likes me, for he has not only said it,
but shows It. L. C. Q.
Love, they say. always finds a way,
but Love has been incredibly alow In
your case.
However, it is hardly possible that
you really love each other. You have
seen him occasionally for three years,
but have never spoken to him. Your
love has no more foundation In reality
than if you worshiped a picture in a
book.
Don’t take It so seriously. Perhaps
acquaintance would spoil the illusion.
Unless you can make his acquaintance
tn a regulation way, don’t seek to make
It at all. Forget him.
NO HARM IN IT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
T have known a young man for al
mi%t a year, and have gone out with
him a few times. He writes to me ev
ery week, and sometimes twice a week,
but doesn’t ask If he can see me. Do
you think it right for me to continue
the correspondence? TROUBLED
Aa a friendly pastime, there can be
no objection to corresponding with him.
The only objection 1s that It may lead
vou to hope a more Intimate relation
ship will develop, and that, I am sure,
is not in his mind. If he cared for
you, h» would ma.k» an effort to see

"The outside of a refrigerator has
looked good to me all my life. When
a boy I always was curious to know
what was inside, and imagined pud
dings and jellies and frozen custards
and fruits. One day I got into the one
at home!
"There was a dab of boiled rice,"
showing more emotion, “which I upset
In the milk trying to get out. and a
glass of jelly, but some one had upset
salad dressing over It. There was a
piece of pie, but some one had spilled
catsup over it. the cheese had flirted
with the prunes, and a chicken bone
was all I found that wasn’t contami
nated by too close association with
something else.
“It was a great disappointment to
me, which I hope will lessen the enor
mity of my crime in your eyes.”
Mrs. Lysander John said nothing that
night, but for the next two days she
acted so strangely her husband began
to w’onder if the refrigerator incident
had decided her on getting a divorce.
Then she told all. She, too, had been
a thief. With tears In her eyes, and a
sob in her voice, she handed Lysander
John $2.17, all in pennies and nickels
and dimes, and all looking as if they
had been laid away for years.
“It represents," site said, "what 1
have taken from your pockets at night
for the last 27 years.
“Night after night I found nothing
there, and the amounts were so sm*ll
when I did that the search has been a
great disappointment. I hope It will
lessen the enormity of my crime in your
eyes."
Lysander John grew very thoughtful
as he aat with the money In his hands.
“It never occurred to me before.” he
said to himself after many days of
speculation, "how many ways there are
for a man to he a disappointment to
bis wife."
YOU ARE NOT FAIR TO HIM.
Dear Miss Fairfax;
I had an appointment to go to the
opera with my gentleman friend, and
I after I had made tl known to nearly alt
i of my girl friends, who wore also going.
■ he disappointed me. T became very
angry at this, and have not spoken to
hltn since. Now every evening that he
sees me lie tries to "peak to me. but I
• turn and walk away from hltn. A
- friend of mine said he wanted to ask
I pardon. I am very- much in love witli
• him. LONESOME K. H.
! He the right of an explana
tion, th >ugh It may prove so poor you
will refuse to accept it. But al least
give him the chance. It seems to me
, you made a mistake in telling all your
r girl friends about your engagement
5 with him. Such confidences are un
, necessary, and one avoids humiliation
by not making them.
; Too Late for Hope
’ Words were of no avail He kn.ew
’ it. His wife, Muriel, had arranged
• everything with cold-blooded care.
r He crossed the room with elaborate
' unconcern, and at the door turned for
1 the last time.
“It will seem like the good old bach
' elor days come back," he remarked.
. trying to speak jauntily, but his voice
s trembling. "I shall dine at the club.
> G-g-good-bye, dear!”
Never a word spoke Muriel. She
merely nodded coldly.
Dazed, the poor man groped bls way
blindly to the snuggery, his little den,
which would never look the same again.
1 Only two years since their marriage,
and It had come to this. He was going
’ —leaving Muriel.
Miserably he took a little silver box
from the mantelpiece, and sadly eyed
the contents.
"She gave me these when—when we
were happy,” he sobbed. "I might as
' well save them from the wreck.”
Then, hurriedly lighting one of the
• cigarettes, he fled; for the sound of
sweeping told him that spring-cleaning
had begun!

I AM glad to see that someone has
suggested what seems to me a very
fine memorial to the bravo mon and
women who died in the Titanic disastet
The suggested monument Is to be
represented by a fund which will allow
all school children to learn to swim
Os course. 1 think I am rabid on th<
subject of swimming. It has mean
everything tn me—fun. recreation, fanv
and livelihood. It is to my swimming
that I owe all the success I have had.
and If 1 have a good figure and good
health, it is because of this one in
particular exercise more than any
other.
I believe that swimming more than
any other kind of sport or physical cul
ture, is especially beneficial to nomen.
Swimming will reduce the fat woman,
and it will build up the anaemic and
weak sister.
A good swim will drive away tip
blues better than anything else, because
it stimulates circulation easily, quiekl>
ami joyously.
No 111 Effects.
if om- exercises ordinary common
sense, there should be no ill effects to
swimming, and the graceful, harmoni
ous movements of the bod> are b< •

physique and for invigorating mind n>

Every child should be taught t
sw Im.
Thousands will be saved in time of I
dinger, and the child who Is taught to
swim early in life develops a wonder
ful sense of fearlessness and caution,
because II knows just how much it can
do. and does not go beyond its strength,
a.s do swimmers who take up the sport
later in life.
Os course, it is always betten to
learn to swim in fairly still water, in a
shallow- lake, or on a softly shelving
beach where there are no sudden holes
and deep hollows.
If I had my way, every woman who
does not know how to swim now ould
be given some lessons at a swimming
bath or a swimming pool and then
practice in the open.
In preparing for the swimming sea
son. the first question is the bathing
suit. It's a funny thing about the
bathing suit, and it's all a matter of
custom. On the English beaches, where
men and women bathe together, a
woman in a pair of stockings is ex
tremely conspicuous, because no one
else wears them.
I remember one summer seeing an
American girl in her black silk Gibson
bathing suit and black stockings emerge
from her bathing machine very con
scious that she was exceedingly beauti
ful to look upon. Indeed, she was by
American standards. Her suit was
belted in over some sort of a cot set; it
was quite high In the neck and had el
bow- sleeves. The other women on the
beach wore baggy looking suits that
were so unattractive that no man look
ed at them twice. They did not wear
stockings, and when the young Ameri
can girl sauntered leisurely down the
beach there were various comments.
“Poor thing. Isn't it a shame? 1
wonder what it is,” said the old ladies.
"Ami her complexion looked so nice,
too!"
The inference was obvious. They
surmised a dreadful disease. As for
the young women, they- thought he>
frankly immoral to attract so much
attention.
Changed Her Suit.
The next day she donned an English
bathing suit, left her stockings In her
bathing machine, wore enormous and
very hideous bathing shoes, and no one
looked at her twice, f<>r she looked no
prettier than any one else.
Os course at the big bathing beaches
like Brighton, where visiting Amer
icans are frequently seen, they are get
ting accustomed to the American bath
ing suit witli stockings, and I think
stockings will be universally adopted,
but I hope oui good English swimint rs
will not try to wear what is called the
fashionable bathing suit, becaus-* I
don't sec bow thev could swim In il

with lace, is an exquisite adjunct to the
summer girl’s wardrobe, am! I don't
doubt that if you want to sit on the
sand and look picturesque this is the
thing to wear.
Don't forget the sunshads' to match
and the reticule of silk. It all belongs
to the picture of the maid who never
went near the writer.
But I hope you're ca’ly going to
learn to swim, and so 1 want you to
wear a-sensible bathing suit, the kind
that won't bind or cramp you, and it
can look just as pretty as you like
to have it.

chine or serge, with a complete pair,
of tights beneath Where biooniers
and stockings, are worn it necessitates
clastic garters, ami both tiie round
garter ami the sid< garter an- not good
for swimmers.
About Garters.
Many a case of cramp is dm to tight
round garters. The side garters are
attached to a boil, and I am absolutely
opposed to stricture of any kind around
the waist while swimming. I don't be
lieve In skirts with bands, or bloomers
with draw-strings, but in one-piece
tunics made to hang f oin the shoulder,
with full kilted skirt if necessary.
These princess tunics should have
plenty of give under tin- arm. if they
are cut with kimono sleeves of course
I don't think a good swimmer ought to
have any sleeves, as they at - bound to
get in one's way, but w- must always
keep in mind that the Aimriean gill
spends as much of her time .tin /the
beach as she does in the water, ami
that she docs not wear a bath cloak.

* Getting on in Life *
By THOMAS TAPPER.
HEALTH is the great asset.
The normal person up to the
age of 25 has more energy than
be needs: from 25 to 50. energy and
needs are about equal: after-50. ener
gy generally lessens.
If by Ignorance or foolishness (which
is worse than ignorance! the balance is
destroyed, either to 25 or to 50. it is
more titan likely that the Individual will
not see 60 or 70, not even. 50. perhaps.
Getting on in life Involves health
.primarily. Perhaps it is true that
every human being must make out his
own rules and follow them, but of four
things at least the rules must be fol
lowed carefully by everybody. They
concern Food. Drink. B eathing. Sleep.
The best informed writers are unani
mous in saying that people eat more
than they need. They ascribe inactiv
ity. indolence, laziness and doing noth
ing generally to over-eating, which
wrecks the body, dulls the senses and
puts the mind to sleep. They are prob
ably right.
The duty of every one of us In this is
to learn to eat for nourishment, and to
avoid imitating a boa constrictor that
swells itself out with six rabbits and
goes to sleep
If getting on in life is due to health,
then health must -be so loolpd after
that there is always plenty' of mind
energy on which to do business. Mind
energy is the mpst precious possession
we have. To shut it off by eating two
plates <>f turkey when one is enough is
a crime.
We drink too little and too much.
Too little of the one great drink pro
vided free to all—water —and too much
of the drinks that are never provided
free to anybody—namely, water mixed
with alcohol. Water is the natural
thirst quencher. It may be necessary
for us to acquire a taste for it, but it is
worth while. It is also the natural
cleanser Simple food and plenty of
water (Inside and out) are as good as a
life insurance policy.

THE elastic is in strips instead
of one whole piece. Move
ment of the lower limbs is easy
and natural and the elastic fabric
lasts. It cannot become wrinkled.
Each strip is designed to with
stand the correct degree of tension
at that point.
This gives perfect ventilation,
prevents perspiration and pre
serves the “life” of the elastic—
and therefore of the corset.
Instant popularity has been ac
corded to this new model.

An Italian by the name of Ludevlci
Cornaro was given up by the doctors
He was 35 years old. and they promised
hihm he would never see 40. This in
formation would have been enough In
Itself to kill most people. But it sim
ply made him mad—fighting mad, in
fact. He took himself in hand and be
gan to study his own case. Recogniz
ing himself as the owner of his own
body, he determined to look it over and
see what he could do with it. To
keep it going even to 40 required, he
saw. food, drink, air and sleep. , He
studied these four things w-ith the mind
of a man who intends to be master of
the situation. He began to eat the
food that agreed with him. and not too
much. After eating it he forgot all
about It. He drank water, and kept
the body clean. He breathed as na
ture intended he should, so as to fill
the lungs with pure air through the
nostril®, and he slept regularly.
He passed the 41 st milestone safely,
and the 42d. and so on until he reached
his 83d, when he iiad enough energy
left to write a book describing how he
did it. Some years later he wrote an- /
other report of his progress, at 88, and/
still a third time, at 95. He died at
the age of 98. having added, by his own
observation of himself, and by practice,
just 55 years more than the doctors
gave him.
