THE headline on this pas is in
no way misleading. 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

For the flat feet I should go to a

ot making shoes for such feet. For
