THE MAGAZINE PAGE 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 Confesses His 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.

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.

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.

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< • adapted for developing the feminhi physique and for invigorating mind n> body 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 The fashionable bathing suit of silk or satin, embroidered and trimmed i y a IHwF W-t-- to I Ls I < J? ■«& J»k // *tfr '■" wf ' 7 . i ' Ml S 3 ANNETTE KELLERMANN.

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. <»ne of the bc-t bathing suits is a black tunic of silk, satin, crepe de 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.

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.

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.
