EVENING LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, THTTttflDAY, .APRTL 8 1015 io PRACTICAL ARTICLES, PRIZE SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS FOR THE WOMAN AND THE HOMjI I ft I 1st, I ' The Spirit of Adventure By ELLEN When the Heart Is Young Youthfulness of 'neart and tho spirit of adventure always do go together some how They don't depend In the least on the dumber of years you may lay claim to In fact, as the years pass on, tho Kplrlt of adventure may gTow and grow ami grow within you, and at tho same time a certain youthful zest for llfo and for enjoyment may spring up whoso latent possibilities you have novcr oven suspected. For ago really doesn't matter In the least so long as the heart Is young! And somo of tho youngest people have tho oldest hearts, while somo of the great - grandmothers and grandfathers have a sporting spirit before which that of their youngest grandchild Is dull and insipid! tt isn't such a vory hard matter to keep the heart young. But bo few people seem to know now to set about It In the right way. And that Is why everywhere thero are so many young-old, tired faces, with an oddly disillusioned l-ok about them that shows "tho early bloom of llfo haB (led ere youth Itself bo past." For they have nothing new to learn In a world that for them has already becomo stale, flat and unprofitable. And why? Because they have lived too hard, have tasted llvo not as a connoisseur who lingers over the game, but with n foverlsh, hectic zest that kills and destroys Instead of satis fies. And therefore, although In years they aro still young, their hearts have Song since grown desperately old. Youthfulness of heart Is tho greatest possession this wor'd ofitrs and at tho same time It forms an armor which suc cessfully wards off tho slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. For youthfulness of heart Implies a certain bounding of the pulses, a certain elasticity of mind that refuses to be crushed and that springs back Into the old point ot view every timet The gradual creeping on of ago has been too often regarded as something menac ing and very dreadful. For the years aro supposed to deaden feeling, to dull emo tion and to kill tho solrlt of adventure. AROUND THE BARGAIN COUNTERS Bargains in the Millinery Shops The unchallenged popularity of the small hat Is seen In all the fashionable stores, and the large, floppy brims, with pressed flowers In between, aro rapidly making tl.etr exit. Wings, quills, cabuchons. streamers and feather fancies aro being used as trimming on the small hats, and the large, tailored sailor shapes havt kid belts or a groagratn ribbon bow on them. Ono of these tailored shapes was seen in- a large Market street department store. It was made of smooth straw In teta do negre shade, and the crown w-as encircled by a band of natural pongee colored silk.

And hope, once cruhtd, leas quick to rle again. But with the passing of the years the heart need not grow old, for It tho plan of life Is well balanced, If tho viewpoint Is keen nnd If real Interest Is taken In llfo as an absorbing game, then tho heart must always be young. And youthfulness of heart means keenness of sympathy. We muBt keep giving, giving, giving nil tho time. The spirit of adventure Is somcthth that keeps tho heart very young. Thero aro pcoplo whom forco of clrcumstanco compels to remain In tho same place. Yet thero aro nevertheless many thousands who deliberately choose to remain In tho same little corner when they could b traveling, roaming around tho world, storing their minds and momorlcs wltn wonderful Impressions nnd llfe-glvltig In terests. "Home-stnylng minds have ever homely wits," so tho saying goes. And It carries a good deal of truth with It, too. For the man or woman who has no ambi tions beyond the little corner of tho earth whoro they are contented to llvo and move and have their being nro cer tainly sadly destitute of the spirit of ad venture. Thero Is something strangely lacking In their make-up. The men and women of history who have becomo Immortul through tho eter nal youthfulness of their hearts are le gion. And they all have achieved some thing worth while; or, aB tho French say, they havo "arrived." When the heart Is young, the outward appearance keeps a certain air of youth fulness, too. Tho rndlanco of the peren nially young heart eecms to shlno through with a physical attraction and magnet ism. The celebrated Ninon de 1'Enelos, for Instance, had crowds of adoring lovers long after sho hnd passed tho allotted span of life. Her SOth birth day was the occasion for an ardent pro posal of marriage. And nil because she possessed the eternal spirit of youthful ness. For when tho heart Is young, the pass ing of the years really doesn't matter at all. lighter blue at the upturned side of the hat. A tiny poke bonnet for tho Ingenue was made of Antwerp blue straw, with a silk ribbon to match around the crown. This wbb mado into a stiffly wired bow In the back, and a cluster of different colored fruits accentuated the piquant lino nt the front of the hat. Tho price was $1 95. A stunning hat for a child was seen In a email shop the other day. It was made of butter-colored straw, with wldo baby blue streamers hanging far down the back. The poke shape was outlined In the front, around the child's face, with a garlund of forget-me-nots and tiny moss roses. The price was J3.D5. A smart tan shapo was shown In an other shop. The brim was rolled on both sides, so that It looked almost llko a man's derby. The high crown was very plain and a narrow band of wlnc-red velvet encircled It and stood out In liugo rabbit ears. This was brought across the crown In front. The price was also 1.95. So there are plenty of good-looking hats at reasonable prices If you know where to find them.

Klnfcln wns a wealthy and eccentric scientist, metallurgist and physician, who dabbled In vnrlons strange matters for his amuse ment. Buckley, hla assistant, had grown In llmo to understand the old man's od dities, nnd to have n. profound respect for the intellect which had already made several valuable scientific discoveries. Klnfcln smiled benevolently and comb ed his long, whlto brord with his fingers when the youngor man suoke. "Well, John," ho began, "Donna .s 22, nnd of courso sho will marry some time. I sup pose vou aro no worso than other men. Now, If I Impose n task upon you beforo I glvo my consent, you will agree to per form It?" "If I can," replied Buckley, cautiously. Tho old gentleman chuckled. "It won't be very hard, John." From n private comportment beneath the laboratory shelf ho drew out a box and handed It to Burklcy. "Open It," ho said. John did so. nnd revealed an oval yel low object neatly tho bUo of a football, and virtually of the samo shape. It seemed to be of metal, "Now, John, there's your golden egg," went on tho scientist, "t fixed It up for you In my leisure moments. If you open It lusldo of n mouth you get Donna and a wedding present, too. If not, you'll have to wnlt awhile. "What tools may 1 uso In opening It?" That's the point, John. You may uso your own two good hands and any In strument which doesn't weigh over 50 grains." ! "Fifty gralnn!" repeated John, amazed. "Why, that's less thnn a quarter of an ounce." "Exactly." John stared first nt the egg nnd then at tho scientist. "Uut, professor," ho ex postulated, "an Instrument weighing CO grains will bo practically useless. Why, the blade of u small penknife weighs that much. A thin Intchkey wcigha more." "But nn Instrument much less In weight will open that egg." John looked dubious. "But supposing I use something Vhlch weighs more?" "You wouldn't do It, John, if you agreed not to," responded tho professor, com fortably, "and I'd catch you at It If you did." John was joung, In love, and energetic. Ills three years' work In the various hob bles which the scientist affected had given him an unusual technical education, great confidence In himself, and a certain deli cate manual dexterity which almost sur passed that of his employer, clever ns tho older man was. It wns very natural that he should accept the challenge and bear away the egg. He found Miss Donna In the parlor and explained tho situation. It Is hardly ger mano to mention that when the girl placed her elbows on the table and set tled her chin In her pink palms to listen, that hho looked distressingly pretty so pretty, In fact, that John wns (.ompellcd to Interrupt his narrative whtlo he kissed her. When he had finished his account of the conditions, she rose. "You nre to go right to your room, John," she com manded, "and cpen that egg. I'm dying to see what's In It. No; you can't stay hero with me nnd work on it; I would disturb you." With tho wariness of long experience sho dodged around the tablo at this moment, anticipating by the frac tion of u second a lunge on the part of John. From a place of safety behind a chair, sho pointed to tho door. "Avaunt! And tell me tomorrow morning what you found." John reluctantly gave up a chase which promised to bo fruitless, and obeyed. Settled In tho easy chair In his own room, ho paid tho professor the compli ment of examining the egg very carefully befoie beginning operations. He went over it with his lingers, but could feel no Joints beneath the yellow paint uhlcn covered tiio metal. There was no depres sion on the surface. It was h! theory that a hidden spring would open the sphere, and he spent the balance of tho evening In searching for It. At midnight tho secret was still undiscovered, and he gave it up for tho time being. Donna was Inclined to poke fun at his fnllure the next morning. As the chuck ling professor readily allowed her to try her hand, she spent an hour and broke two hairpins In an equally fruitless ef fort. Tho egg was rather light than other wise for Its size, but John felt certain that machinery of somo description, hid den within It, controlled the situation. By blinking It persistently, ho was finally re warded by the sound of a very faint clicking, That evening he made a sort of cat's cradle of string, and placed tho egg thcroln. With tho contrivance he wos able to whirl the egg over and over. In this way hoping to start the machinery. Occasionally he reversed tho motion, but ho tired his nrms with the monotonous labor to no purpose. Next he essayed to saw his way through tho metal. He secured a burglar's saw of the finest Btcel, but was compelled to dispense with the handle, as It brought the weight ot the little In strument up to nearly 10) grains. Intermittent labor for the next three evenings with the saw, a bit of cloth serving as a handle, resulted In some bndly blistered lingers nnd the scratching of the paint In several places. That was all. If the fact that the egg was proven to be steel ns fine and hard as the saw. Is expected. In desperation Buckley at tempted to crush the obstinate oval be tween hla hands and failed again. "I've mado up my mind to get the paint off," ho announced to Donna. "Then I can tell where we're at." "We're at Bea," she replied dolefully, tenderly kissing one of the blistered fin gers. BusUIey secretly agreed with her, but his pride had been aroused by repeated failures and t(ie whole-souled chuckling of the professor, whose sides' seemed to be shaking constantly with merrlmht over his assistant's predicament lie would open the egg now, or die. The young man took his penknife apart, sharpened the lightest blade to a razor edge, and attacked the paint. Although It clung exnsperatlngly. In time he had cleared It from the surface. This revealed the presence of thousands of little holes In the metal, each closed by a minute fleck of tho paint which the blade would not dislodge. It was well Into the fourth week when this was done. "Just look at those con founded needle holes!" he exclaimed tn disgust. Under the stress of a brilliant Inspira tion, Donna Jumped up and clapped her hands delightedly. "That's It, John-a needle!" One was brought, and John set himself to the task of thrusting It carefully as far as It would go Into each of the little holes. This removed the fleck of paint, and as the absence of paint showed that a hole had been tested, no time was lost In subsequent explorations. "Foxy old gentleman, your uncle," smiled John, "but he overlooked that point. If he'd thought about It, I know he'd fixed It to keep the paint out of these wretched holes." Jt was the evening of the last day of the allotted month that the busy needle, penetrating further than usual produced the hoped-for result. There was a whirr of clockwork and a heavy spring, the pressure upon it suddenly removed, thrust Itself through the tide of the egg. John fished a metal cyl'nder front the broken shell, opened It, and with hi arm around Donna's neck, read the paper which It contained. It was a check for $3X signed by Profesaor Klnfeln. and payable to "Mr. and Mr. John Buckley."

No, you will havo to guess ngaln! Ills favorite was a dear llttlo gray-haired old lady who came every week to bco him. And why do you supposo he liked her the best of nll7 Well, If Reddy could have talked, he would have told you that he liked her quiet ways, her patience nnd her soclnblcncss. For every tlmo she enmo to see him, sho sat down na though she had all the wholo day Just for him, then sho laid the nuts she brought for him on tho ground beside her mid took out her book (she always had a book), and began to read. That was tho signal for Roddy to como. As soon as she began reading he started down from tho treo overhead. Down ho crept, till he reached her sldo; sho would look up and smllo nt him, but sho didn't move towards him or mako him Jump, as tho boys and girls usually did. Sho Just read on till ho had eaten nnd was ready for play. When that tlmo came, Reddy crept up on her shoulder and kissed her car with his softest kiss. Then she put up her book nnd played with him as long ns he wished. Oh, sho and Mr. Reddy were great friends! Ono day It occurred to Reddy that he would like to know where she lived. So when tho time came for her to go home, ho followed her to tho edge of the park. Sho was so pleased by thnt devotion that always afterwards ho took her as far as tho edgo of tho paik. Then ono day, when ho was feeling braver than usual, ho stood at the edge of tho park and watched to seo where she went. AV'hy sho didn't live far at nil. Sho lived In that big gray house right across the street from tho park entrance! Roddy felt so comfort- The active principle of Gold Dust is so remarkably thorough that you rinse away the dirt and grease, leaving a newness, a cleanness and a brightness which delights.
