Every one turned to look at her, because' youth has great attraction for age, its beauty lifts, and its spirit inspires those who have gone past it. Pleased smiles rippled over the faces of those she paased, hard . liries softened in stern faces, fight danced in the dull eyes. And then spolled it all. Going straight to the mirror on tbe gum machine, she took out a comb, switched off her hat, combed her hair, reset her hat, peering this way and that to make sure of its wet. Then she swung about on her toes to see that her skirt hung evenly all about. It didn’t, 5o she pulled it a bit here and hunched 1t up a bit there. It looked about the same when she finished as when she began, but she seemed better pleased. £ » A Next she turned her atlention to her 'face.” She opened her hai and ‘took- out a lttle shining box: found & little pad somewhere it, dabbed it with powder and patted her face in the spots she favored.

HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “0ld Dog Tray.” A song of whick a hundred thousand copiés were sold in 18 months, “OMd Dog Tray,” was one of the miost pop- ular of the plaintive melodies of Stephen Collins Foster,. practically all of which were destined for miore than ‘temporary fame. It has survived the passage of time to a permanent place in' the country’s repertory of old songs. The forms I calld my own have vanished one by one. The loved ongs, the dear’ ones have all i “.::fln have flown. their gentle I've nothing Jefy but eld dog Tray. In direct Information from members of the family of this prolific and gift- ed composer. 'we are told that “Old Dog Tray" owes its being to the mem- ory of a beautiful sefter which Foster had owned and to which he had been very much attached. To one with a knowledge of his history, however, the said words seem significant rather of the shifting panorama of ‘his own life. Born in ‘Pittsburgh in 1 Foster wasa man of gentle birth, with a background of culture and refinement. A musician from the. cradie, the fa- vorite ‘pastime of his boyhood was composing - songs. Adopting composi- tion as his vocation, he met with im- mediate financial success. He was sensitive and re , - however, and said */had few friends. It has been that when he settled in New Yogk the |/ most common sdunds to reach his ears must have been the singing of his own ballads, the most rare sight a face ‘which he knew, It was in New York, it is said, where flattering offers of publishers twice induced ‘him to set- tle, that the unfortunate habit of alcoholism grew upon him which brought to such a sad close the career of a remarkable man. . For in 1864 he died, poor and alone, in a cheap hotel in New York, ‘and only ‘the efforts of odid friends prevented his burial as a pauper. It Is the loneliness and the sense of failure of those later years: that are reflected so touchingly in this song. “Old Tray.”. 1IN 1 sExtraFanc /4 ORANG PEKOE TEA ' CEYLON I]NDIA n \- P of Expense! héw: carefully, thoroughly and savingly it or Nie}e}htiwe offer | COOLING ‘ and REFRESHING TEA There is no drink in the world - so cooling -and refreshing as iced INDIA » F made correctly, as given below, it thoroughly -tones the system and aids diges-' tion.
