Life's Problems Are Discussed I oi MRS. n.so\ woonnow It was one of those places where "omcr •• congregate. and in the lit tle group which 1 had joined the talk had turned on the question of old age. Directly in our line of vision was a woman who seemed to have gone out of her way to adopt more of the man ner and appearance of age than her years warrant. She was unwieldy enough in all conscience and yet she was reckless ly indulging in fluffy and fattening foods. As she ate still more lobster mayonnaise and followed it with ice cream, she retailed the symptoms and progress of one of her diseases. Even her expensive clothes were slate col ored and depressing. And when she was ready to move on, a younger woman, presumably her daughter, placed a summer fur cape over her shoulders and carefully and with considerable exertion hoisted her from her chair. "I draw the line at that." I mur mured. "If 1 live to be a hundred I shall stoutly refuse to let any one fuss about me with wraps and pillows mid things, and assist my tottering footsteps. I may get my cape on hind-side-before, but I'll do it my self; and if I can't walk alone I'll let the policeman pick up the pieces. But 1 will not have some younger woman putting my bonnet on straight or dragging me up out of chairs." "The last straw for me." said an other woman of the group, "will be when a girl gets up in a streetcar to gi\e me a seat. That will break my spirit forever. "I'm as old as the hills," she con tinued. "I can remember things that happened before the rest of you were born, but I decline to be, elderly. , I am merely experienced." She spoke the same plain, stimulat ing truth. It was Impossible to guess her age. She baffled the most acute feminine eyes. But just where between thirty and seventy she be longed none could tell. She wore at tractive things which suited her, but no one thought of her clothes. They were completely overshadowed by her personality. The impression that remained was of her sparkling blue eyes, the sort of eyes which have something in them of the sea and something of the sky; her remarkable individual ity. her charm of manner and her quick wit. "What is old age, anyway?" asked • nother of the group. "You see two women who have acquired about the same number of years and are old, if one judges them by the standard of time, and yet one of them will look delightful and interesting, full of life and vigor and able to take her part in the passing show, while the other will be bent and feeble, slow tn mind and body." Isn't it the truth that old age is not a fact at all? Is is merely a state " UNDERTAKER 174S Chas. P. Mauk n BOTH* 1 KlVA'ri; AMBULANCE PUOXES YOU'LL LIKE PARKWAY RESORTS ATLANTIC CITY, N.

It is a reality only for those who believe in it and all its decrepit manifestations, while to those who refuse to entertain it, who resolutely bar the door on it and will not tack on to a certain number of years a certain number of ailments and re strictions, it is merely a bugaboo which can be cheerfully and success fully defied. Sarah Bernhardt, one of the most wonderful women in tne world, has said recently that the best receipt for retaining youth is hard work, study and the society of young people. A word from her should be authorita tive; for not only in her appearance, hut in her unconquerable spirit she has retained her youth beyond the usual three score and ten years, in spite of various distressing physical vicissitudes. An American actress, a lady of ninety-one years, died a few days ago. She had been continuously before the public ever since she had been h young girl, she played last season in New York and on the road, and had just signed a new contract to appear next season. Most of us have seen examples of this kind. I shall always remember a lady of over ninety-five years who had none of the infirmities of age and found the world a very good place to live in. She was the amazement of all who knew her. She looked very little over sixty, and took a very keen interest in such frivolous things as clothes. She was not in the least deaf, and her eyesight was good. She could read and sew and knit without diffi culty. She visited her friends, she ate what she pleased, and slept the sleep of the just. But then she had a beautiful and serene spirit, which may have accounted for her length of days and her cowtentment in them. The great majority fret and worry and grouch and overeat and over indulge themselves into old age. But, as Emerson says: "We grizzle day by day. I see no need of it."

THE PLOTTERS A New Serial of East and West By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER IX (Copyright. 1918, Star Co.) Her experiences on the evening of John Butler's arrival at the farm had made Elizabeth Wade expect further questioning from him. After a day or two she appreciated that she might have spared herself this uneasiness, for Butler became so much absorbed in matters outside the house that he paid scant attention to what was going on inside. At table he talked of crops, fertiliz ers and irrigation with an ease that surprised the women of the house hold and made Amos feel less sure of himself than he had been formerly. Except for a perfunctory nod at Elizabeth, the young man appeared to take no notice of her until one very warm evening a week after he had started upon his work for Wade. The day had been a hot one, and the guest looked jaded and worn. Noting this, Mrs. Chapin voiced a gentle protest as she and Elizabeth look their seats upon the veranda after supper. "I am afraid you're doing too much, Mr. Butler," she said. Amos spoke before Butler could re ply. "He's doing no more than me," he declared brusquely. "Yet I don't' see you worrying about me, Martha." "You're different, Amos," Mrs. Chapin reminded him. "You're well and strong, and used to work. If you was delicate, too, or sickly, I'd worry over you just as much as over anybody." Butler frowned. "Who says I'm not well and strong?" he demanded. "Why, I thought from your looks," Mrs. Chapin explained, "that you was kinder delicate. I said as much to Eizzie the night you came." Elizabeth interposed hastily. "Be cause a man is not tanned and stout docs not mean that he is not per fectly well and strong. Cousin Mar tha." Butler glanced at her gratefully, then his face clouded again. "I wish I could get where there were no women to fuss about me!" he burst forth impatiently. "That was one reason I came here—to get away from fussy people." Elizabeth's eyes flashed dangerous ly. "I will gratify your wishes so far as I am concerned. Mr. Butler!" she exclaimed. "It would be quite as agreeable to me as to you." A Little Spnt Before the man could protest, she sprang to her feet and started away from the veranda. Butler was at her side in an in stant. "Oh, I say. Miss Moore, I did not mean that!" But she waved him back imperi ously. "I wish to go for a walk by myself." she said stiffly. "Vou are displeased with me," he regretted. She laughed scornfully. She was surprised to ITftd herself so angry.

HARRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH she had not supposed that this mere stranger could Irritate her to this ex tent. "And if I were, what difference would it make to you—since you came here to be away from fussy wom en?" she retorted. "But that was not what I meant," the man insisted. "It was what you said," she re minded him. "However, your slur, if aimed at me, fell far short of the mark. It was poor Mrs. Chapin whom you have hurt. It was she who sug gested that you were not well, ,and you were abominably rude to her. I would not have mentioned your health, for it makes no difference to me one way or the other. To tell the truth, I don't suppose Mrs. Chapin cares any more than I do. She spoke from the fullness of a kind heart— that s all. Now, may I trouble you to stand aside and let me pass?" He did her bidding, and she went on down the path and out of the gate. Crossing the road and the meadow beyond, she was soon in the shadows of the line of willows skirt ing the end of the lake. Here she paused, still angry, yet also indig nant with herself, for having lost her temper. Why should this man agi tate her thus?" "I hate him!" she exclaimed to her self. "What do I care what he says or does?" A rustle in the bushes made her catch her breath in fear. Sulov Talak stepped out into a patch- of moonlight, his great black dog at his heels. "Who do you hater' he demanded. "Is it de boss? I hope so." She moved away without speak ing. but he followed her. " "Who do you hate?" he repeated. "You hate old Captain or de fine gen tleman from out West?" "I do not hate anybody," the girl said. "I was merely talking non sense." The man stepped close to her. "You hate somebody," he said. "I heard you say it. I will beat him if he hurts you—for I like you." He tried to lay his hand on her arm, but she shrank back in repul sion. "Don't you touch me!" she cried. The man uttered some impreca tion, and at the end :zr lxesf.t tion, and at the sound the dog growled menacingly. "You're afraid of me," Talak ac cused. "You've no need to be afraid of me. I tell you I like"— But she would hear no more. Turn ing swiftly, she fled across the meadow, not pausing until she reached the gate opening upon the farmhouse lawn. Here she stopped, trembling. "What an Idiot I am!" she mut tered. "First I lose my temper with a half-sick man, then run away from a half-witted farmhand. "But," with a shudder, "I am afraid of that Pole and his dog!" A step behind her made her look up. John Butler was coming down the path toward her. She stood watching his approach. In the pale moonlight he looked handsome. He was tall and slender, rather too fragile, perhaps, but with the bear ing of a thoroughbred. He walked straight to her, his hand out stretched. "Miss Moore." he said, pleadingly, "please forgive me."

Dear Mother:—Have been busy the last few days learning to fly our new type airplanes the Spad. its a very different machine from the light, quick and responsive Morane, and there was lots to learn not only in landing but in the air. My first trip aloft started out badly, because 1 blew out one of my tires while making a sharp turn on the ground to get in position to get off, but what was a small trifle like one wheel —on went the gas and away we \tent. Once in the air my tioubles multiplied, because with this motor the pilot has to keep tabs on so many things, what with 3 pressure dials, 3 small levers, a hand pump, not forgetting a watch, an altimeter, compass and map. You can well believe with all these things to watch, a pilot's flying must be almost instinct—so many more things being more important. And yet, with all, J had to give some thought to my flying, for fly ing a Spad the first time could well be compared to dancing a fox trot with a fat lady—one don't realize how fast they are getting under way until they hit something, and when making a sudden turn, the aforesaid lady must be given time for due thought and consideration of same, else there might be a tragedy. Thus 1 found the Spad on my first trip, not at all amenable to reason but to-day she was begin ning to eat out of my hands, for I have been riding quite regularly of late. No, I didn't break any. Yes terday being Sunday, the usual crowd of curious people arrived, among them about a dozen Ameri can soldiers. I was tawaiting my turn to fly in the Spad again at that time, when after looking me over for quite awhile, one big tall husky six-footer came over, said "Howdy doo" doubtfully, and shook his hand he exclaimed triumphantly: "I was sure you were an American! You looked like it." A Compliment Unknowingly he paid me quite a compliment, because many Ameri cans after being here a while—obey in gthe injunction "when in Rome do as Romans do," —lose their dis tinctive American manner and pass easily as Frenchmen. Further more, the above should prove to you that your son still possesses that "Boy— look" which Dad drew attention to by the poem he sent. The graso is growing very high on the field we use for landing now. and will soon have to be cut. I fear, as the propellers clip the tops as we roll along the ground. This is bad for the propeller. Incidental ly. with the high grass came flowers, dandelion and clover, you know— and naturally bees. And thereby hangs a tale. Maybe you won't see the point, but believe me. I did! The Captain wishing to improve our shooting qualities, had several guns sent here for we pilots' use. They shoot a very small bullet, being only about half as big as a 22. And here was where I got my bright idea. Gee! thinks I. "these will be just thp thing to shoot bumblebees." So I fares me forth to war on my mortal enemy, the bee. You know how much he loved me of yore? Weli, from the reception I got his love certainly hasn't decreased, and the following bit of poetry found in the "Post" sums it up very well— "Little yellow hornet was asitting on a tree; Little yellow devil, thinkin' some thin' up for me.

Tell me, how many appetites have been in creased since reading this? Ha! Ha! The Germans made a big attack the other side of Rheims to-dav, and from reports coming in were more successful than I like to think Anyway, the battle line is drifting closer to me now, and with my Spad due for the air in several days I have hopes of seeing the "front" once again. You know, Mother, I haven't been over the lines for over a month, and what with playing tennis, swimming and shooting, don't know there is a war on. WALTER. Advice to the Lovelorn / BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX SELFISH! DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 17; my father died when I was four, and mother and I lived together until recently. When I was about 13 mother mar ried a man with seven children; We lived together about one year. I was unable to get along with the children so mother left him. For three years they were separated, now she is again going to live with him. The girl nearest my age came up from Brooklyn to see me Sunday. We went out together, and I introduced her to some of my friends, she was all right with the girls, but the language and actions she used with the boys was something dreadful. I told my mother that I couldn't go out with her if we lived together, so mother told me I will have to live outside.' H. A. G. My dear girl, you have had a loving mother to bring you up; Rosie is,one of seven, and the busy father sup porting them has had no time or op portunity to teach her the things your mother has taught you. Don't you think it would be only decent and kind and fair to give Rosie her chance?. Once for your sake, your mother left her second husband—now she is going to live her own life and go back to him. And, selfish little girl that you are, you are demanding that your mother give up her hus band because you don't like your stepbrothers and sisters. Suppose you consider other people for a change and forget yourself. Go and live in your mother and stepfather's household and try'to look upon your self as one-tenth of the family—not the "whole show!" JULY 8. 1918.

Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the commis sion, is asking speedy action. In the last six months hundreds of guns, revolvers and other wea pons have been taken from un naturalized aliens. In many in stances game protectors had to en ter the homes of foreigners sus pected of possessing firearms and the discovery was made that in ad dition to firearms and knives that many aliens, notably Austrians, had dynamite and other explosives in their homes. Some had dynamite capped and prepared for firing in trunks or bureaus in their homes and resented it being removed, while others declared that they were al lowed to hold it because they were miners. Hoards of flour, sugar and other provisions, clothing and shoes were also discovered in sections where foreigners congregate. Fending decision as to increased powers the protectors, who have orders to round up firearms wher ever in possession of foreigners, will report any discoveries of dynamite or explosives to the state police and of flour or food or clothing in undue quantities to federal administrators of the district.
