There are a treat
many different
kinds of pleasures.
Home are called In-dtwr-jpleasures.
and
some are called
outdoor, Rleaaures. .
Indoor pleasures 'consist mainly of talk

A nether, favorite indoor pleasure Is
going shopping, when you go around to
all the stores and make the clerks take
down everything off the shelves, and you
try on all the new hats ami gowns and
- then say you'll come again another day.
. The, clerks do not seem to like. this kind
. of pleasure. I wonder why.
When men take their pleasures indoors
tbey. play cards and drink,' and when
they, come home their wive have lots of
fun telling them what they think of them,
and how sorry they are they did not
marry some other men who wanted to
marry them who never drank anything,
and just had barrels of money, and al
ways treated a woman like a perfect lady,
tven.lt she was their wife.
It. Is a great deal of pleaaure to be
married because It la so exciting what
yen say to yoar husband, and wbat he
aya to you. Old maids and old bachel
ors have no pleasure because they have
nobody to quarrel with.
' Sometimes pleaaure looks like work, bat
you ' can always tell them apart because
when a thine baa got profit In doing It It
Is work, but If It cue La you a lot of money
to Ho it. then It is pleaaure.

when he ' has played , eighteen holes of
golf all day 'he comes home and brags
About how many -'miles he has 'walked.
That Is because' golf Is a pleasure. There
are many things that a little girl cannot
understand.
And my mamma. .1 very delicate, so
she cannot sweep a room, but she can
tango ail night ' becaAiM ' dancing- Is a
pleasure. All ladles are weak when It
cornea to worlr, but they are very strong
when It cornea to pleasure.
Some people like to talk for pleasure,
but there 1s no pleasure In listening, and
when my grandmama has a good time
she sits up and cries because she enjoys
being sad,
! When I ask my papa what pleaaure Is,
he' says that It Is the thing that we are
always going to have, or that we look
back to' having had, but that It's never
the thing that we've got at the minute.
I do not know what this means, but It
Is what pleasure is.
The Composition of Atoms

atoms do not wear out: or, If they are a

America's Pioneer Philanthropist
A party of young people wera discussing
the "debutanta slouch," and one young
man declared that It gava to noma girls
an air of distinction and enhanced their
beauty tenfold. On his being queatloned
whether theso same young women would
lose their charm tf they walked upright,
with heads and cheats up, he promptly
responded that they would; that the
"slouch" was In great measure, respon
sible for their attraotlvenens.
Almost all preaent agreed that the new
mode of walking gave to those fortunates
"who could get away with It" an Irre
sistible charm.

A BROOKLYN "HOMKOIRU"
Right earnestly I put myself on record
as heartily against the silly distortion of
the human body called the "debutante
slouch."
The word "slouch" ' Is no weaker, no
homelier than the 'absurd posture it
names.
lfiven since man learned to walk up
right there have been fads In the method
of carrying his body. The workers of
this generation will remember the
'Grecian bend" of many years ago. It
was followed by a reaotlon from Its
feminine mincing known as the "golf
stride." This wss perhaps the most hid
eous motion womankind ever evolved.
But the "slouch" of today oomblnes all
the awkwardness of the "stride" with all
the unhealthfulneas of the "bend"
There Is nothing to be said for the
"slouch" from the point of . view ' of
thode rays. Man la able to thus break
up the long-time chemical atoms of L'al
ton'a original formula.
But It la not known whether nature Is
now breaking up atoma Into electrons.
Nor Is It known If nature la now form
ing new atoms from the primeval quan
tity of electrons. Science may never be
able to discover this very Important
point. But It may, for the discoveries
made within ninety days hare advanced
humane far and away beyond all pre
vious Imagination. Notably, looking Into
the Interior of a diamond to see Its
atomic, structure. I suppose that If sci
ence could detect atoms going back to
electrons the process oould be called
"wearing out." but at present this Is
beyond all human powers.

waa-looked upon as being good enough
for a "laboring man" to live In. The Idea
that euch a man could possibly have any
pride In his dwelling place, or any need
of an Inviting environment, waa pre
posterous. But in the "Peabody houses" a bettor
gaapel waa preached the gospel of light,
air and cheerfulness. "Build the houses.''
said Peabody, "so that those who shall
live in them may be able to rejoins in the
nunahlne, breathe a-plenty of Clod's life

some tokens of the beautiful."
The command waa obeyed. The dwell

building these houses are human beings,

oo very by man of his first known law of

Haeckel's "riddle" Is microscopic kinder
garten before the majesty of recent
science since January 1. 1014. The baeio
law of conservation of energy of Meyer
and Helmholta, of Kelvin and Thomson,
of Newromb and Polncare, proves that
the quantity of energy la as constant as
the quantity of matter. Onoe It was
thought that the floods of energy poured

of huge suns, "ran down Into obscure

and protruding abdomen.
Girts think that men like them best If
they are modern and "up-to-date."
But when a man goes on record aa an
admirer of a morbid,' unhealthy and ab
normal posture like the "slouch" I doubt
his own evidence against his sense and
good taste.
Men never know what they really like
In women, and they aever, never will. If
they could the spell of charm would be
bioken.
The moment a man truly understands
what makes him In love with a girl the
knell of her power Is sounded.
Men say they admire this and they dis
like that In girls. They think they know!
And the fact that they like or dislike ex
actly opposite things In different girls
doesn't In the least enlighten them!
The "slouch" Is a posture of utter fee
bleness and suggests the weakened lungs
and digestion It Is sure to cause. Bo It
cannot give any girl "an air of distinc
tion" or "Irresistible charm." Perhaps
a girl who Is beautiful and charming ran
triumph over this silly carriage that sug
gests her physical Inability to manage her
body healthily and well. Bat the man
who admires this posture when he sees It
In iieaalnir would never choose ss a com-
rado a girl whose weak limns did not per
mit her to Join him m walking or rowing
or swimming all through the glorious
summer time. And no man wants a wife
who la a morbid Invalid. .
Vitality Is charm. If the girls who seem
charming when they slouch along with
sunken chests and heads protruding Ilka
those of startled turtles were suddenly
to spring Into life and fairly float along
"with fairy feet that scarcely brushed the
dew" and starry eyes and all the flushing
pink-cheeked Slow of expanded lung they
would exchange furtive allurement for
worship and devoted admiration.
Oon't cultivate the '''debutante slouch."

If two weeks' acquaintance with a man
will get you Into all this turmoil, what
would two years do for you? Your best
course Is to show the young man in
question that you respect your self, and
you can best do that by treating lilni

blm know you are really worth striving
for. If he loves you and means well by
yon, he will let you know. If he doesn't,
you are better off without him. A man

Dear Miss Fslrfax; I am a girl
years of age and fair looking. la It proper
for a young girl to make advance,

thinks a great deal? I know a young
man two years older than I, and I think
a great deal of him. but be Is of rather
a liHuahty demeanor and doee not make
advances to any girl ANXIOUS,
The modern girl Is Inclined -to be pert
and forward. Perhaps some experience)
with such girls has caused the young
man or whom you speak to take refuge
behind a distant manner. Be friendly and
pleasant but remember that men prefer
to do their own courting.

How to Look Le$

There are three golden rules that every
woman who would ward off signs of ad
vancing age, should follow:
1. Cultivate cheerfulness. . Those who
understand the physiological effect of
worrying koow. this advice should ba
taken more seriously than It usually la.
1 Whenever the complexion begins to
look worn or withered, use ordinary mer
collsed wax for a week or two. Apply
nightly like cold cream, eraalng it morn
ings with warm water. Thia gradually
absorbs the thin film of surface skin, re
vealing the fresher and younger akin
underneath. An ounce of the wax, ob
tainable at any drug store, la enough to
rejuvenate any complexion.
t When the tell-tale wrinkles appear,
or cheek and chin muscle, beglsi to sag.
