Daysey Mayme and Her Folks
BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
i T Is a question which Is the easier,
I 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 tn 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. He told such woeful and warnful
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.
t t Mrs. Appleton, being sentimental,
soon succumbed, and fairly dripped in
her woe. Lysander John, being sympa
■*'»' - thetlc, 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.
"I robbed the refrigerator,” he said,
"and let you believe some one had
broken into the house.
*■ “But it was a great disappointment,"
he said, 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 Mlm Fairfax:
Last Saturday night I met a gen
tleman who Is twenty-one, nearly six
yea re older than myself. 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 of fifteen is too young to let
her friendship for the'boys be made
serious by monopoly. That is proper
only w-hen an engagement exists, and
you 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, alw-ays finds away,
but Cove has been incredibly slow in
your case.
However, it is hardly possible that
you really love each other. You have
seen him cocasionally 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
In a regulation way, don’t seek to make
It at all. Forget him.
NO HARM IN IT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have known a young man for al
most a year, and have gone out with
him a few times. He writes to me ev
ery week, and sometimes tw-lce a week,
but doesn't ask If he can see me. Do
you think it right for me to continue
the correspondence? TROUBLED.
As a friendly pastime, there can be
no objection to corresponding with him.
The only objection Is that it may lead
you to hope a more intimate relation
ship will develop, and that, I am sure,
is not in his mind. If he cared for
you, he would make an effort to see
you

"The outside of a refrigerator ita=
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 ’ 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. wonder 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.
‘Tt represents.” she said, "what I
have taken from your pockets at night
for the last 27 years.
“Night after night I found nothing
there, and the amounts were so small
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 sat 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 be a disappointment to
his wife.”
YOU ARE NOT FAIR TO HIM.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I had an appointment to go to the
opera with my gentleman friend, and
after I had made it know n to nearly all
of my girl friends, who w-ere also going,
he disappointed me. I became very
angry at this, and have not spoken to
him since. Now every evening that he
sees me he tries to speak to me, but I
turn and walk aw-ay from him. A
friend of mine said he wanted to ask
pardon. I am very much in love with
him. LONESOME K, H.
He deserves the right of an explana
tion, though it may prove so poor you
will refuse to accept it. But at least
gl\e him the chance. It seems to me
you made a mistake in telling all your
girl friends about your engagement
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 knpw
it. His wife, Muriel, had arranged
everything w-ith cold-blooded care.
He crossed the room with elaborate
unconcern, and at the door turned for
the last time.
"It will seem like the good old bach
elor days come back," he remarked,
trying to speak jauntily, but his voice
trembling. ”1 shall dine at the club.
G-g-good-bye, dear!”
Never a word spoke Muriel. She
merely nodded coldly.
Dazed, the poor man groped his way
blindly to the snuggery, his little den.
which would never look the same again.
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, be fled; for the sound of
sweeping told him that spring-cleaning
had begun!

with lace. Is an exquisite adjunct to the
summer girl's wardrobe, and 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 sunshade to match
and the reticule of silk. It all belongs
to the picture of the maid who never
went near the water.
But I .hope you’re really going to
learn to swim, and so I want you to
wear a sensible bathing suit, the kind
that won't hind or cramp you, and it
can look just as pretty as you like
to have it.
One of the best bathing suits is a
black tunic of silk, satin, crepe de
chine or serge, with a complete pair
of tights beneath. Where bloomers
and stockings are worn it necessitates
elastic garters, and both the round
garter and the side garter are not good
for swimmers.
About Garters.
Many a case of cramp is due to tight
round garters. The side garters are
attached to a belt, 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 from the shoulder,
with full kilted skirt If necessary.
These princess tunics should have
plenty of give under the arm. if they
are cut with kimono sleeves. of course
I don’t think a good swimmer ought to
have any sleeves, as they are bound to
get in one's way, but we must always
keep in mind that the American girl
spends as much of her time on the
beach as she does in the water, ami
that she does not wear a bath cloak.*
What's The Matter
With Your Baby?
The young mother—and many an old i
one, too—is often puzzled to know the J
cause of her child's 111 nature. The |
loudness of its crying does not neces- I

* 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
he 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 than 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, Breathing. Sleep.
The best informed writers are unani
mous in saying that people eat more
than 'they need. They ascribe ihactiv
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 looked after
that there is always plenty of mind
energy on w hich to do business Mind
energy is the most precious possession
we have. To shut it off by eating two
plates of 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 w-hile. Tt is also the natural
cleanser. Simple food and plenty of
water (inside and out) are as good as a
life insurance policy.

11.
An Italian by the name of Ludovici
Cornaro was given up by the doctors.
He was 35 years old. and they promised
hlhm 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 with the mind
of a man who intends to be master of
the situation. He began to eat the 3
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
nostrils, and he slept regularly.
He passed the'4lst milestone safely,
and the 42d, and so on until he reached
his 83d, when he had enough energy
left to write a hook 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 3
observation of himself, and by practice,
just 55 years more than the doctors
gave him.
