WOMA N’S PAGE. Remarkable Old People of History BY J. P. 1t 1s not possible to imagine s mare | perfect earthly existence than that of the Rev. Canon Beadon, a well known English ecclesiastic. Every circumstance favored a career that lasted 102 years. In early manhood he had a slight ill- mess. But he threw it off easily, for he ‘was of splendid physique. Not tall, for he stood only 5 feet 9 inches, he had broad shoulders and a deep chest. His arms were long, he had large hands and his muscular power was tremendous. He never another sickness until he ‘was 97. Other circumstances that counted in his favor were these: He came of scund stock on both sides of his family; his relatives were influential people, so that he had, from the beginning, a lucrative | b living which precluded financial wor- ries; an early marriage turned out t: be extremely happy: he had only th: children, a family of ideal proportions his very profession was one which of- fered a higher expectation of life than | any other; finally, he was equipped, by nature, with an even disposition and a cheerful temper which simply could net | be ruffied. | His dutles as a clergyman were not | enormous. He had plenty of time to | indulge in the pleasures which suited SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY. Puppy knows I is a ittle late; he's dest, tryin’ to help me along. GLASS, him. To complete the picture we need only say that he was a “sporting par- son,” who turned to the great outdoors for 'his chief delights. At 170 the ruddy-faced old boy was still as strong as & bull. Long after he was 80 he continued to go fishing, and | he did not stop shooting until he was | past 94. In middle old age, when out shooting for the day, he could walk from morn- | ing until night, was not affected by any | amount of cold or exposure, and would | leave many younger men exhausted. | "He did not know the meaning of | rheumatism and never suffered from a headache. He loved his farm and garden, and | worked a great deal among his plants and trees. Naturally such & man would have a keen appetite. Canon Beadon ate ly at every meal and munched s in between. He was very fond of sweets, and ate pastry and fruit more freely than meat. He liked alco- holic beverages in moderation, As a churchman he took part in pub- lic services until he was 96. He then Ve d ercct, never tottering, his cheeks still e Indeed, they remained so to the very last. At 97 he had an attack of bronchitis although he lived five more years.

To this and to a great number of other missives he sent immediate replies, written in his own hand. (Copyright, 1930.)

House dresses should be easily washed. For this reason some closely woven cot- ton fabrics are not so desirable as more loosely woven fabrics. Other things being equal, linen or such silks as pon- gee would be even more desirable, be- cause of the ease with which they may be_washed, They should be suited to work. This |means short sleeves, fairly short skirt and enough width of skirt to make it Ppossible to ‘take easy steps. They should be presentable. There is a distinct advantage to the busy housewife if her work frock is even suitable to wear on the street. Then it is possible to take a trip to the shops or on some other errand without taking time to dress especially for it. For this reason a straight slip-on frock of some wash material that can be worn with | some sort of coat sweater or other sport Jjacket makes a satisfactory type of | work frock. ‘They should be inexpensive, to make it possible to have a number of them. 1On the other hand, there seems to be true economy in paying enough for them to insure good material. One housewife has actually found that it pays to have house frocks of white linen, because they never have to be discarded on account of fading and be- cause they can be washed so easily. SRl Light Salad. Cut up half a’small head of cabbage as for coleslaw and add to it a slightly less than equal amount of grated pine- apple and about one-fourth the amount of marshpallows cut into small pieces. Place in a covered dish in the refriger- ator and allow to remain for about 12 hours so that the marshmallows will be absarbed and the flavor of the pineapple permeate the cabbage. Mix a small amount of cream with mayonnaise and, after pouring off any juice that may have settled from the salad, add the dressing to it and serve on crisp lettuce leaves with a garnishing of olives.

The ancestors of Peter Page had been brought up in Merrie England. That meant that many of the old-time customs were & part of their daily liv- ing. Take May day, for instance. Peter | would no more omit some celebration of the day than he would omit Christmas celebrations. He proposed to Nancy that Joan ask a few of her friends from nursery school over for the afternoon. “T'll come home early and rig up a May pole. Then we'll teach the chil- dren how to weave the ribbons in and out in old-time fashion.” Fortunately, the day was fine. The youngsters received small baskets and were sent into the fleld nearby to pick the wild flowers. It so happened that Peter's home was still far enough out in the suburbs to be close to a field and small woods and clearing. After the baskets were filled, Nancy called the children in and talked to them about wild flowers, showed them some pictures of the rarer varieties and told them of the harm which ruthless picking and plundering would do. She then took them to the May pole, which was crowned with a chaplet of flowers, They wound the ribbons in and out, becoming quite tangled, as do even the older folks. Then they went in to the table, where Nancy served creamed chicken, flufly baked potatoes and cress sandwiches. | The party ended with vanilla ice cream Grape Juice for Health Physicians Recommend It A Brain-Sharpenér, Pure grape juice, served as a breakfast fruit, is so per- fectly adapted to the human system ||| that’its rich fruit nourishment and EDWARD COOPER || mineral salts are taken into the blood stream without digestive effort— quick, new vigor to meet the await- i ing problems of the day!
