Daysey Mayme and Her Folks
BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
IT is a question which Is the easier,
to go forward at a church revival
or to elide backward after it 1b
over.
Lysander John Appleton and his wife
went forward. Far be it from ub 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
z 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. 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
Aras soaked till It could hold no more.
Mrs. Appleton, being sentimental,
L soon 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
eaved.
That night on the way home Lysan
der John confeseed his greatest crime.
Confesses Hie Grime.
'T robbed the refrigerator,” he said,
"and let you believe some one had
’woken 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 Miss Fairfax:
I jest Saturday night I met a Ran
- pieman who Is twenty-one, nearly six
1 rye*** older than myself. He has asked
me to <ive my other gentlemen friends
up and go with him. He likes me very
much and T 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 when 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:
: : ym eighteen, and have been In love
with a man five years my senior for
thre* years. Tt seems Impossible for us
to get acquainted. I know he really
. likes me, for he has not only said it,
z but shows It. L, C. Q.
Love, they say, always finds away,
but Love has been Incredibly slow in
your case.
However. It Is hardly possible that
you really love each other. You have
seen him cocaalonally for three years,
but have never spoken to him. Your
love has no more foundation tn reality
than If yon worshiped a picture in a
book.
Don’t take It so seriously. Perhaps
acquaintance would spoil the Illusion.
Unless you can make his acquaintance
l/ln* regulation way. don’t seek to make
tt at all. Forget him.
NO HARM IN IT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have known a young man for al
mAt 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 ma to continue
the correspondence? TROUBLED.
As a friendly pastime, there can be
no objection to corresponding with him.
/ t Tha only objection is that It may lead
you to hope a more intimate relation
ship will develop, and that. Jam sure.
Is not in his mind. If he cared for
you, he would make un effort, to see
you.

"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

and fruits. One day I got into the one

was all 1 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 tn pennies and nickels
and dimes, and all looking as if they
had been laid away for years.
"It 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 1t will
lessen the enormity of my crime In your
eyes."
Lysander John grew very thoughtful
as he eat 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
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 T had made it known to nearly all
of my girl friends, who were 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 away from him. A
friend of mine said he wanted to ask
pardon. I am very much In love with
him. LONESOME K. H.

you made a mistake In telling all your

Miserably he took a little silver box

Os course. I think I am rabid on th'-
subject of swimming. It has mean'
everything to me—fun. recreation, fame
and livelihood. It is to my swimming
that I owe all the success I have had.
and If I have a good figure and good
health. It is because of this one in
particular exercise more than any
other.
t believe that swimming more than
any other kind of sport or physical cul
ture, is especially beneficial to women.
Swimming will reduce the fat woman,
and it will build up the anaemic and
weak sister.
A good swim will drive away the
blues better than anything else, because
ii stimulates circulation easily, quickly
and joyously.
No 111 Effects.
If one exercises ordinary common
souse, there should he no ill effects io
swimming, and the graceful, harmoni
ous movements of the body are best
adapted for developing the .feminin
physique and for invigorating mind am

Every child should b» taught

Thousands will he saved in time of
danger, and the child who is taught to
swim early in life develops a wonder
ful sense of fearlessness and caution,
because il knows just how much it can
do. and does not go beyond its strength,
as do swimmers who take up the sport
later In life.
Os course. It Is always better 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 7 tiling about the
bathing suit, and it’s all a matter of
custom. On (lie 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
bolted In over some sort of a corset; 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 ladles.
"And her complexion looked so nice,
too!”
The inference was obvious. They
surmised a dreadful disease. As for
the, young women, they thought her
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, for she looked no
prettier than any one else.
Os course at the big bathing beaches
like Brighton, where visiting Amer
icans 'ire frequently seen, they are get
ting accustomed to the American bath
ing suit with stockings, and 1 think
stockings will be universally adopted,

* 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 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 looked after
that there is always plenty of mind
energy on which 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 while. ft is also the natural
cleanser. Simple food and plenty of
water (inside and out) are as good as a
life insurance policy.

it can be had, day and night.

IT.
An Italian by the name of Ludovlci
C'ornaro 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 hie 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
food that agreed with him, and not too
much. After eating it he forgot all
about ft, 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 41st milestone saftdy.
and the 42d, and so on until he reached
his 83d, when he had .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.
