THE GEORGIAN’S MAGAZINE PAGE .. ■ * - - - ■- ■■ - - ———.— 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 Shekel UcuMetf!

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!

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.

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.

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.
