TO KEEP YOUNG

Youth Is what we all Tove to have and to hold, and since Ponce de Leon's time many a way of conserving it has been prescribed; dosage, drinking sour milk, systems 6f exercise, bathings may help the individual, but not every individual. And let us not forget that youth Is in great measure a :-gift of the spirit Children are young because for them ltfe abounds; they find springs of energy within and

stores of refreshment without. Wonder, curiosity, the enjoyment of ten thousand trifles, a short memory for punishment and pain: all these things make for youth. • Quarrels, resentfulness, suspicion, worry, .grouchiness: these bring harder lines around the mouth, hardened arteries, old age. Nothing is too small to delight a child, given the/right conditions; nothing too big to darken—for very long—-

the jangled sky. That is the secret of youth. Drew the curtain. Master Manager! On with tha Human Comedy.—Collier’s Weekly.
