Life's Compensations
By MARY CRANK.
To my mind sunset In tt nil hours the
moat beautiful mora beautiful evn than
rosy dawn, for It holds' not alono the
glory of-the day that has been, but In
finite promise for the day that shall be,
with sweet rest In bqtween.
Why should not the sunset of life be
just as beautiful? Bomb Umos it Is, but
too often people spoil It. They fret over
the past and passing time, forgetful that
the time, to come may be Just as golden
ivrlth an added glory of purple and crim
son, like the cloudy pomp of the sun.
I The old are fond of framing maxims
for youth to make the most of the pre
lent, to waste no opportunities, to "gather
fife's roses while they may," and I want
all my grandfather and grandmotherly
readers Just to take these maxims to
j themselves for the moment, and see In
what way they can apply them most
iprofitabV-
I To1 begin with, please do not think or
jeay .that you. have lived the, beat of life
and there ls'no further use .for- you,...,!
am going . tt point out sompy ways In
vhlch you can be of use, even It you are
i enjoying a well-deserved rest from hard
labor. " '
Please -do not call yourself a burden on
otlitrsl Tou, In your time, have borne
'many burdens. -Why. should not the
younger folk now.. have a nil are In- the
privilege and pleasure of bearing some
burdens for you?
I Pray do not bemoan the faded flower
of your beauty, and envy those who arc
etlll fresh and fair. Tou have your time
for blooming, and the others will coma
!a quickly as you to the fall of the leaf.
' It Is a very good season, this autumn
(and tho coming winter: when you have
i watched the ripening of fruit from buds
which sprang from the seed you planted.
l,lfe would be futile If such a time did
not' come.
You can still be beautiful, my woman
readers, If you let your thought dwell on
promise and not on decay. You can
surely take an Interest In all the spring
ing hopes and Joys around you'. You
can be unselfish enough to rejoice in tho
pood things that come to others, even
,lf they have passed you by .with averted
'(ace.
And you can ungrudgingly let those
young ones help you, work for you, bring
pleasure to you in every possible way.'
It li good for them. Just as It was good
for you .ones to work for those who de
pended on you In weak youth or feeblo
Wge.
It is helping to form their character
and safeguarding them against the
failure which attends selfish efforts; It Is
.strengthening them In more ways than
Vu know. .
You may think you are a drag on the
wheels of advancement. Why not rather
(consider yourself a shield In battle, a
Support along the rugged road of life?
Who knows what follies youth might
commit If It had not the elder dear ones
to think of? Without them there would
be nothing to restrain it - from all sorts
Sf reckless adventures.
Youth needs age, even more than age
Seeds youth. , .

most liberal spirit. . She "adopted" the
grandmother, and by dint of much solf
Bacrtflce kept her in comfort on her very
small earnings.
This lasted for some years. Friends
used to reproach the girl for her folly,
and ask her why she should give up so
much and stint herself of so many pleas
ures and small luxuries for tho sake of
an old woman who was not even a rel
ative. Hut I, who was behind the scenes, can
assure you that the girl gained more
than she lost by her loving kindness.
The effort the necessity of keeping 'the
small- establishment on a safe footing
kept her from many dangers that assail
women who are alone In tho 'world.
The habit ot thinking for two taught
her self-reliance and resourcefulness.
The restraint, the tocf, the thoughtful
ness Imposed on her in the tiny home
for tho old lady was often "difficult"
developed In her "noble qualities that
otherwise might never navo seen the light
She Is alone again now, and speaks of
her aforetime "burden" with tears of
gratitude In her beautiful eyes.
"It was good of her to let me do so
much for her!" she cried. "I am thank
ful to her every day of my life, and have
never regretted what was supposed to
be a senselessly quixotic action!"
I know this Is true. That old woman
was doing a grand work In those last,
sorrowful, Invalid years of hers as grand
a work as she had ever done In her
vigorous youth.
She never thought of it In such a light,
I fear, but fretted over her helplessness
and worried endlessly about the trouble
and expense her presence caused her
companion.
Perhaps, as the girl said, she knows
better now. But I want you my elder
readers to ask yourselves why she should
not have known all tho time, that she
was doing good?
Do not fret If you cannot do everything
for, others, as was onco your pleasure.
Give them, in turn, the pleasure of doing
things for you. ;
Try to be happy In the present now as
always; the present lasts as long as It
ever did.
Keep young at heart and you will
frighten old age away. Sympathize with
the young, and they will run to you
with all their troubles and perplexities.
Qo on growing and helping others to
grow for this Is the great secret of hap
piness at all ages.

Beauty Secrets of Beautiful Women
Chrystal HerncVIdea of True Loveliness and How to Attain It
By LILIAN LAUFERTW
"Once upon a t(mc," began Chrystal
Heme, in the most approved fashion of
our beloved fairy tales, "I saw real
beauty so I know what it Is. Is a
spirit, ihe spirit that flares up within
and lights the face. Spirit makes a plain
face lovely, and without t, perfect fea
tures are not beautiful."
It was between the acts of the star re
vival of our good old friend, "Arlrona,"
at the Lyrlo theater, and I had been
admitted to that fascinating realm be
hind "the stage door." "Won't you tell
mt about that 'once upon a time' when
you saw real beauty?'' I asked.
Miss Herne has wonderful gray eyes
deep, tender, and set In the wide oval
of a face so delicately lovely that not
half of Its beauty can be guessed across
the barrier of the footlights. A brooding
mist came over those eyes and Into her
soft voice,
"It was my father's face," she salt
gently, "I was a very young girl, and
we were cruising about Pecontc bay In
our little yaw), when a storm capsized
us. I thought that cold gray water was
going to hold me forever but suddenly
my father's face came between me and
horror. He had righted the boat some
how, and he got me Into It. And tho
wonderful light shining In his face as
he saved me was beauty. Yet, except for
hls'rarely fine expression, my father was
not a handsome man.
"That Was absolute beauty. It gave
me an Ideal; T.tve on .a high, fine plane;
be so splendid that spirit will illuminate
your face."
The spirit of her own fineness her
high ambitions always shines back of
Chrystal Kerne's flower-like loveliness.
But as she spoke her love and venera
tion made her beauty one of ihe most
exquisite things I have nvcr seen.
"Now, you want the worji-a-day, prac
tical Ideals of beauty, don't you?" she
asked.
'My first ope If fat! I can't see any
beauty In bones and angles. I havo
struggled and struggled to get fat!"
Think of that, you who bant and swal
low unpleasant does, and immerse your
selves In bsths. of salts, so that the
curves and grace may disappear and the
cubist angles and squares betray your
bony structure-
"Well, I can't get fat, I havo found out
the hopelessness of that ambition," went
on, Miss Heme Jn a practical tone, ''so I
do the next bst thing; I make the best
of what I am. I find the .styles I can
wear. 1 find a dressmaker who under
stands me and will help me develop my
own type. Instead of a few pet theories
of her own.
"I arrange my b&lr to frame my fsos,
BII8S HERNE'S BEAUTIFUL PROFILE.
Instead of straining It Into tho latest
cry In unbccomlngness."
"Of course you learn by acting how to
accent beauty to bring out points," I
remarked.
"Yes, Indeed, you learn to emphasise
natural beauty, to bring out hidden love
liness, and, best of all, not to over
emphasise, not to be conspicuous Just
to be part of the picture.
"Now, I truly admire the chic New

"You disapprove of consplouous

Watching Does Not
Harm Honest Man
By DH. O. II. FARKHURST.
It Is reported that the students of
Columbia aro not to be put upon their
honor In parsing their final examinations.
This decision of the faculty appears to
one who has been
n rollone stuuent
to be an admirable
one, and tho young
gentlemen of Co
lumbia ought to
be gratoful.
There Is no man
so honest ns not
to be safer tt
watched.
Virtue la not
harmed by being
rcrutlnlsod; and
the man whose
virtue Is of tho
weakly and un
stable kind may
be, and Is, very
much assisted by
being watched.
No man will bear more - than a. detor-
mlnedramoiint of temptation, and neither
the faculty nor the student can tell in
ndvnnco Just where tho breaking point
lies.
It was not so very long ago that trea
surers resented the Idea of having their
account annually examined by a profes
sional expert.
To put them upon thelr,honor would not
now be considered to moot tho require
ments of good business methods, and for
a treasurer (o demur nt thin gentle ltnd
of espionage would In these days excite
suspicion as to the Integrity of the of
ficer whose work was to be Investigated.
A certain bank president appropriated
?3,fOO,O00 of tho bank's money.
The public divided the blama between
tho president for stealing and tbo direct
ors for not watching him carefully-
enough to prevent his being able to steal.
It Is because of the more or less un
conscious surveillance exercised over us
by those that we live among that wo are
kept from being worso than wo are and
from behaving worse than we do.
When a- man or woman goes nbroad,
leavlpg family and acquaintances behind,
no one Is able confidently to predlot what
may occur prior to their return.
When Mr. Beecher was being examined
by a ministerial council with a vtsw to
settlement and was asked whether he
believed In tho Calvlnlstlo doctrine- 'jf
"the perserverance of the saints," ne
said he had believed It until ho went
west and discovered how some of the
"saints" bohaved after they hod gotten
away from New Knglund and from the
people who knew them.
All this falls In with tho general propo
sition that we should, under all circum
stances, In the university or out of It,
accept with gratitude, rather than with
disdain, that reinforcement to our vir
tus that comes to us by being held under
others' watch and observation.
GETTING LINE ON NEWCOMER
"necently," says & Washington man,
who had been spending a holiday at home
in a suburb of the national capital, "I
was afforded an amusing Instance or the
artlcssness of childhood.
"Louise, one little girl, on the next
porch, was evidently engaged In cultivat

The second little girl was romping on tho
porch of the third houso from me.
"What's your name?" Bhoutcd Louise.
"Blttabeth," was the answer shouted
back. "What's yours?"
"Louise. The name of the peoplo that

"Our name Is Parker."
'Our Is Taylor. You didn't know the
Berrys, did you?'1
"No."
"They wero something awful for bor
rowing. Thty used to be sending over to
our house all the time for everything you
could Imagine. Your folks don't do that,
do they?"
"No."
Whereupon Louise turned and shouted
up to htr mother, at the second-story
window.

It touches china, pots and

leaves everything spotlessly
clean, bright 'and attractive.
Don't use up all your time and

clean; use Gold Dust every
where you can in all your
household cleaning and let it
do the work. It works so quickly
and thoroughly that really it
makes cleaning a pleasure
instead of a task. It makes
