How can one be pretty after thirty? To be more than twenty-something-or-other geans the end of things for & woman; the very word ‘thirty has a menacing sound. Why, one must almost be get- ting gray.” The man regarded her with a smiling indulgence. ‘‘You are forgetting cultiva- tion,” said he, “and cultivation puts age out of the question. In these times ‘thirty’ spells nothing to a woman. The modern cultured woman has a cotarm beyond compare, and what matters thirty, thirty-five, even forty, Bweet Sev- n, you small bud of innocence? For women are as the flowers—some of you sweet, gentle, fragrant as the violet; ele- gant and stately as the lily; and even, 1 grieve to say, handsome and flaunting as the poppy with polson in its heart. You, Swoet Seventeen, are yot but the smallest of the white violet buds.” “I don’t see what that has to do with a woman being thirty-five and old” pouted Sweet BSeventeen; ‘‘and I don't want to be lectured. When I'm thirty- five I shall quite have left off caring about being pretty, or thinking about clothes, or—or, even anything that I like to think about now.” It is impossible,” said the man, very slowly, tenderly placing his hat, and smoothing out the fingers of his gloves, it is possible for a woman to be at the zenith of her beauty even after thirty- five. Many of the lovely women of his- tory have been notoriously beautiful much later in life than that. Think you, Sweet Seventeen, that beauty is only to be found in youth? Youth is the be- ginning of beauty; the lovely bud may become & far, far loveller flower. You are at the beginning of life, and life is beautiful; absord its wonders and reflect its glories. Admire all that is given unto you to adgsire. Colors, flowers, sweet odors, nosphere, pilctures, musie, books, curves, grace, the loveliness. of nature, and children and all young things.

Advice to Lovelorn By Beatrice Fairfan Try Work at Home. Dear Mas Fairfax: T am 25 years of age and am very plain looking. I am not very popular and I find mucly leisure time through the days which I at a loss to utilize to good advantage. As [ do the housekeeping here I feel that I could do some sort of home work during my spare time. I can sew well and like to write. If you would be so kind as to inform me through the paper as to how I might secure home - work you will greatly oblige, A LONBSOME STRANGER. If you sew well enough, why not at- tempt to do home dressmaking. If you have neither the time nor the inelination for this, you might attempt to secure a little fancy work from the shops, or you might make cake, cookles, ete., and try to place them through the nearest | woman's exchange. | Don't Interfere.

D. The World's Best Known Writer on Medical Subjects, It seems painfully ironio that the ap- proach of the fairest and most charm- ing season of the year, spring, should be heralded by the flercest outbreak and widest spread of diseases of any month in the calendar year. Not only does every country doctor well know that his heaviest professional work, his longest rides and bis shortest snatches of sleep invariably come just at the period when the spring thaw has dropped the bottom out of the country roads, but the very Roman name in our calendar of the month which, at Mediterranean lati~ tudes, correspond to this dread period is February, the month of fevers—the “febrile” month. And, of course, it has been a classic canon of pathetico-romantic literature that the wan and wasted victims of the great white plague struggie through the winter to fall and fade with the coming of the spring flowers. For once the findings of modern science and vital statistics firmly and unmis- takably support an ancient popular im pression. Not only does the general death rate in almost every city and country of the temperats zone mount steadily from its lowest point in July up to its elimax in March or early April, but the same steady and fatal rise is found in their curve when we map out the ravages of most of our serious infectious diseases. This is rather surprising, for while it seems natural and proper emough that there should be an increase in the coughs, colds and consumption group of diseases which are supposed to have to do with chills, exposures and wet feet at this | most trying and changeable season of the year, there does not appear, on the sur face, any good reason why diseases liko soarlét fever, diphtheria, measles and whooping cough, which are pure infec- tions and are not supposed to have any. thing particular to do with the weather, should also reach their high water mark in the spring. But the same cause really underlies this increase in deadliness of all these widely different diseases, though that cause s not the changeable spring weather, Trying, undoubtedly, the erratic T as of the approach of spring is with its dellclous spells of relaxing warmth and their accompanying “‘spring fever,” followed by sudden and shivering relapses into winter with six Inches of snow on the ground, it is not the mere violence of its vibrations that plays the chief part in throwing our human harps out of tune, | Variety s the very breath of life to us, | we thrive on sudden changes of tempera- | ture, and almost anyihing in the way of | weather, short of the vilest, is better | than monotony or stagnation. It is not the March weather we suffer from in March, but the December and January and February weather, which has then plled up its effects upon us to the breaking point. In other words, we | are sick In March,, not because it 1s March, but because it is the month that follows January and February It we could suddenly put July in its place, weather and all, we would suffer e same, though probably not quite ely, because we could take the r cure and enjoy it The deaths and diseases and break downs of early spring are piled up there by the accumulated strains of four months of winterfs cold keeping us pris- oners in our houses, sealing up doors and windows, stewing in our own breaths, with unlimited swapping of disease germs vackward and forward under hot house conditions.
