It moans exactly what it says. This article will deal with the theme ot growing young. Haven't you seen persons to all appearances lose ten, fifteen, even twenty years of their lives in a relatively short time? If not I fear you have not closely and Interested ly observed the people about you. The experience Is by no means un common. It has happened under tho eye of every person who has clear vision. What has happened to Mr. Brown and Mrs. Smith, who, at acknowl edged fifty or fifty-five, begin to look thirty five or forty, or forty t They look as though they bad tapped tome new and inexhaustible 6prlng ot vitality. Why and how? Everyone would like to look and feel, which is to be, young again. How shall it be done? It Is in part a matter of will; In part a matter of habit But most of all it de pends upon the way you look at that sum of things we call life. Mr. Brown may have secured his new leaBe upon life by a sudden success in business. This by no means always follows, for with his new success might come new and heavy responsibilities; and re sponsibilities, or a keen sense of them, are aging. Or it may be the success of a son or daughter. I have known parents to grow sud denly young again when their chil dren were graduated from college. The heavy drain of expenses has 1) been lifted. The young man or I woman Is facing life's warfare equipped for the battle. The parent is happy In this fact And with happiness comes renewed youth. Mrs. Smith may have won a new V husband and be looking at life r through the glorifying lens of happy marriage. Or she may be one of those women to whom her chosen work makes far more ap peal than does any man, and recog nition may come for that work and with the recognition happiDess, and after happiness youth. It Is a safe and sound proposition that happi ness always brings a greater ap pearance of youth. You have only to study yourself in the mirror to prove this. Recall something that gives you happiness and note how the face curves into When He Awoke THEY wore all workers in tho milL Hut It happened that John workod. la a neighboring town, and in conao- ,utnce waa not on holiday when the rtt of the family were. Uciore they left, bli parent save John strict Instructions to set the alarm and rise at 0:30 prompt, fop they knew John's llttlo weakness In tho matter of rising. But John promised faithfully to be up and doing early each day, and tbey left him with the alarm. for a week the family disported themselves by tho sea, and early on the following Sunday afternoon re turned home Every blind In the house wts drawn and every door was locked, though they had written John to tell him of their coming. They hammered on the doors, and at las' a bedroom window was opened slowly, and John's head appeared. "Hello!" he said sleepily. "Dack asen' Wot'a 'appened? Did yo' go and miss the train?" Quite Another Matter kO you give gas here?" asked a wild looking man, who had rushed Into a dentist's. "We do." replied the dentist "Does It put a fellow to sleep? -It does."

Cavalieri rounded outlines, the eyes brighten, the face takes on a delicate pink. Bring to mind something that an noys you, Bonietbing that has deep ly hurt you. You will be amazed at the lightning-like change to dull eyes, sagging muscles, drooping lips and sallow skin. Now imagine either of those moods permanent, and what is the difference in ap pearance? Ten years at least, per haps more. This Is an object lesson In the youth-working effect of hap piness. I quite understand that there w ill be a chorus of objections. Light, weet sopranos and rich, deep con tralto voices assail me with: "But there is a great deal of sorrow in the world. How can we escape It?" You cannot Sorrow and death are the fleetest runners. Both will surely overtake you. But sorrow can be met, faced and overcome. It Is in the power ot everyone to make every sorrow that visits her a transient one.

There was only one man who refused to agree with the remaining eleven. They argued -vith him, pleaded, threat ened and Implored, but In vain. For the twentieth time the usher came to the dour and asked if they had agreed yet. "NoV bawled the foreman. "And we're not likely to for aome time with this" 'Terhaps I had better bring supper to you, sir," suggested the usher. "Shall I bring twelve suppers?" Once more came an angry negative from the man Inside the room. "No!" the foreman bawled. "Bring eleven supptrs snd one feed of hay or thistles!"

Everyone can bo happy by willing to be happy and malntaln'ng a keen interest In the affairs of life. The narrow existence Is the aging one The broad life by which I mean the broad outlook upon life is youth-giving. An authority has said: "The way to renew youth Is to Increase jour mental activity." SuppoHe you are a hard-work'ng woman with small means and a small circle of frlendj Suppose that you live in a small town. You know it has been said that God made the country, the devil the small town. You fancy that you cannot possibly, in your limited en vironment, bo e ther attractive or happy. You can be both. You think that the manner of your life will make you old early. Change your manner of life by changing your manner of thought. Widen your outlook. How?

Let me explain to you the physi ology of happiness as a beautlflor and a youth giver. Happiness causes the heart to beat more firm ly and steadily and this stimulates should, if ouly to have a common topic of conversation with their husbands or brothers, fathers or sweethearts, and even their friends. Newspaper reading can become a habit Form It. Do you know what the great men and women of the world have thought? Find out by reading and re-reading a few good books. Never mind about the best sellers. The best sellers of to-day are likely to be the waste basket stuffing of to morrow. Know Dickens and George Eliot. Cultivate acquaintance with Thackeray. Learn the French com plexion of thought by reading two or three of Victor Hugo's powerful novels. Pick up a volume of Shakespeare and read a page ot it anywhere. You will be sure to find a nugget of truth or a flash of fun on any haphazard page. Study something. I know a woman who enlarged the scope of her life, puBh ed outward its confining walls, by learning four words of French every evening wbllo brushing her hair be fore retiring.

So for the physiology of growing young. Now for tho psychology- A leader ot thought, author ot many books, says: "The life forces will Inevitably create In the likeness of the pattern or picture that Is pro vided by the mind." I believe this. We become like what we most think about If wo make a picture of ourselves as continuously young that thought will help greatly to re fashion our bodies and to ilium nate our faces with the spirit of youth. M. OB. asks: "Won't you phase tell me how to develop my bust? A dimple, cheap remedy, for I am a poor girl." There is no better developer for the bust than swimming, if you ore not able to take this exercise give more attention to deep breath ing. The hanging bar exercise Is good. Have your father fasten a strong broomstick above and at the outer edge of the door sill In your bedroom and practise drawing your self up and down by this every morning. Pat olive oil or cold cream lightly Into the bust before retiring. P. J. E. writes: "Being a great A4 : . . . ''Most persons look ten years younger with the face up turned and the chin held high." admirer and constant reader ot your secrets of beauty, I write to ask you to give me some of your good advice. I have been troubled with the blemish of superfluous hair for about two years, which annoys and worries me dreadfully. I have been pulling them out, but this only makes them worse. They have de veloped now Into a thick growth of hair. I am very much afraid of depil atories and have also seen bad ef fects from the electric needle, bo If there is any cure you could recom mend 1 would be very grateful to you." The electric needle sometimes falls. So do some of the depilatory powders. Hut here Is one which Is effective, though it must be applied L A' iv I ' mm. t with great care, should be pre pared only by a reliable drug g ist. The active agent In remov ing superfluous hair Is sulphy drate of quick lime, which la prepared by panning a cur rent ot sulphur etted hydrogen through Quicklime until the lime is saturutcd with the liquid. This is the, formula, which has the endorse ment of the groat French specialist, Dr. Monln : Barium sulphide 30 grams Glycerlnated starch 15 grams Pulverized starch 15 grams Essence of lemon 15 drops Mix well. Spread It over the part "of the face or body where you are afflicted with superfluous hair. Allow it to remain until it bexlns to smart Scrape It off with a dull 'nutrument, as a blunt Ivory paper knife, or re move it with cotton saturated with oil. or wahh it off with soap and water. Apply cold creani or olive oil thickly to relieve the irritation that follows. If the superfluous hair happens to be on the arms It can be removed by rubbing the afflicted surface with a cake of pumice stone that has been dipped into water. Do not rub deeply or you might Injure the skin. After this treatment rub cold cream into the skin 'A- I- t-A X-,'!':.-: fit X s ak ff .' :! iff! 1 v i l i! -fat Mme. Lina Cavalieri.

For the flat feet I should go to a shoemaker who makes a specialty ot making shoes for such feet. For the knees I should call on my patience to endure what cannot be helped. For tbe limbs thai are too fat I should walk much, hoping that the tut would melt away lu perspira tion and bo succeeded by solid, but less bulky, mtiHcle. For the ankles I should depend upou the bootmaker to give a semblance of Bleudernesa. Perhaps the walking which will melt away the flesh on tbe limbs will somewhat decrease their size. Good for Business UCIi a perfect gentleman!" gushed Mis fcoftwin "It was so good of you to introduce him to me last tilgnt, dear We had a most delightful and Interesting conversation after the concert was over." "Yes?" calmly queried Miss Knox, who was cynical enough to know that there was something more to coma "And after hearing me sing," said Miss bottwln, "lie told me uuite seri ously, you know that be wouid give anything If he had my voice He said it waa worth a fortune I'm sure he was perfectly sincere In saytng It, too.
