Of all the “cures” that are being offered us, from the serum of Dr. Friedmann to the “cheer ‘em’ of Lovely Lilan, nothing ts more convineing than this magic “cure-all.” Better till, it 1s 9 per cent. pure, and 10 ger cent. SURE! Btep right up, ladies with the petrified faces, and gentlemen with the ossified hearts; bachelors with paralysis of the emotions, and flirts with the frassied-out sentiments! One trial, FREE—and your money back if the cure falle! YOUTH! Beautiful, glorious, eternal youth! We are all Ponce de Leons in our mad pursuit of it, and in our vistonary, impossible methods of trying to « find it. He sought it in a fountain, and we seck it frantically at the deauty specialist's, the corsetiere’s, the athletic club, the perruquier’s, the druggist's, the eprings and the golf links. ANYTHING that is “guaranteed” to give us one more year of divine, superna! youth, whether it is sold in boxes, bottles, or books, reaps a rich harvest for ite promoters. And When a well-preserved prima donna tells us that @ cup of hot water tn the morning, a punching bag at noon, and a Nght dinner at night will keep us young for a hundred years, we BELIEVE her; forgetting that this same lady of the lustrous eyes and radiant complexion was atill eufficiently IN LOVE at fifty-three to take another chance at matrimony. Yet, here it fe—the whole secret of eternal youth—the fine art of being in love! BEING in tove—not falling in love. For, one love, if it is the right love, will keep you as young as a hundred loves. It is not a matter of numbers and quantity, but of quality; and the love “that won't come off” ts the best brand of the elixir of youth. The heart that can no longer thrill to love is OLD. And when your heart is old, you are old. Therefore, when you cease to be in love, the goblins of age will catch you, if you don't watch out. Age ts not a matter of the body, but of the SOUL; not a matter of gray hairs and a wrinkled face, but of gray hopes and wrinkled enthusiasm; not a matter of “ossification” of the flesh and bones and muscles, but of ossification of the heart. In these days we think it awfully “smart” to be cynical. We boast of our immunity from love, as we might boast of our immunity from gambling or @mall-pox, or gold brick schemes. A man fancies that he {s decidedly clever when he has gotten much perfect contro! of the muscles of his hgart that he 02a flirt without knowing it, has go insulated his emotions and wrapped his sentiments in cotton batting that no girl can cause him any more exciting turbulence than @ thrill of satisfied vanity. A Girt thinks herself tremendously astute when she laughs at the idea of marriage with any man earning “lees than five thousand a year.” Oh, yes, we ere awfully “wise.” But, if there is anything in the London doctor's recipe, we are bartering our birthright to youth for a meas of cheap fiirtations, which ts about as “wise” as trading off the Kohinoor for a handful of glass beads. Who ere the very youngest people you know in all the world? I will be wilting to wager my new apring hat—and it's a beauty!—that they are some mareied couple of over forty who are still “in love; who stopped In the mad rush for money, the feverish stress of “getting things;”” stopped right in the médet of ft all, to LIVE and to love; to dream dreams together, and plant Gardens together, and walk together in the spring moonlight. ‘And who ere the very oldest people you know in all the world? Some other married pair, I'll venture, who have let love die, and ate going on day by day, in the old routine, with nelther the intuition to perceive it, nor the energy to revive it; living with the corpse of the past between them, end with aever a glance of understanding over its bi Yes, love is the wine of iife, spring tonic of the gods. It makes the ‘world go ‘round and the head go ‘round and the heart go ‘rouné—but (t keeps the years FROM going round. It rings the bell on olf Teme.
