If lie has reached the half- century mark, a person could not pet his vanity better than by telling him that he does not look to be forty. Talk about the vanity of women! It does not compare With that of man if he is Actually vain. What would people think the world was coming to if fashionable restaurants were filled night after night hy women who were aged enough to sit in the chimney corner at home Qursing their rheumatic twinges and hardening arteries who strolled in leaning upon the arm of Inexperienced youths in their early twenties, wined dined them, hopping up and taking to the waxed dancing floor every time the band struck up a new fox trot or dance fad of the hour? The elderly Beau Brummels consider that they are quite within their rights in escorting the youngest and prettiest girl they know. They do not look to her for wit, vivacity or Interesting conversa­ tion. All that is required of her is to •1^ and look youthful and listen, They escort the girl home, satisfied with themselves, believing beyond all shades of a doubt that they have given the maiden a delightful evening amid the music, fine dinner, lights, flowers JUid dancing. Nine out of ten very young girls might accept the elderly beau's hospitality with charming grace. She has enjoyed everything to the full. There was but one thing lacking to make her evening an ideal one and that wf8 youthful companionship. All the wealth -of the Indies cannot turn back the wheel of time, changing an old beau into a young one, or cause the heart of youth to beat in the breast where an old head sits on the shoul­ ders. The old, dapper beau may have swallowed the whole encyclopedia of knowledge as far as books go, but he has never been able to figure out the correctness of other people's notion about youth and age being incompati­ ble in the love scheme. Of course there *re cases where middle-aged, aye, even elderly, men have wedded youthful loves and lived happily ever after, but these cases, like angels' visits, are lew and far between. It would be dif­ ficult to imagine a youth enthusing overmuch over the caressing hand­ clasp of the' middle-aged spinster or even the alluring widow of forty, plump and still good to look upon. Old heads will always appreciate young hearts, but will young hearts al­ ways find their chief delight in the companionship of old heads? Upon this mooted Question someone has somewhere said, "In growing old, some men become more foolish--yet more wise," to which Byron has added: HSfne, who changes all, had altered him r In soul and aspect as in age; years steal Fire from the mind as vigor from the limb; And life's enchanted cup but sparkles ' near the brim. ' " In choosing companions.one should Attempt to strike a Happy medium in regard to years. Youth has its hopes ambitions and dreams yet to be real­ ized. Age clamps the lid down on hopes and ambition. Age banks upon tu experiences. It is the little attentions constitute courtesy--offering her the protection of his arm, if they are walking after nightfall; handing her carefully out of the vehicle, if they have been riding; seeing to it that she shall have no dull, depress­ ing moments. On a crowded car where conversation should not be in­ dulged in to any extent, his ever-re­ curring glance and smile will assure her that she is having his undivided attention. It is a strain upon any young wom­ an's nerves to have to do all the talk­ ing rather than have absolute silence reign- It must not be forgotten that all young men are by no means com­ pletely at their ease in the presence of young women whom they admire sincerely. The bashful man lr apt to- be awk­ ward and actually forget the little courtesies which mean so much to the feminine sex. A good-natured young woman will show courtesy in putting him at his ease by adroitly veering the conversation around to ordinary subjects that he can reply to without being confused or racking his brain for words to say. the right thing. A man or woman may be a jewel ih the rough, but it is the perfected Jewel that 1s admired and duly appreciated. A courteous man makes friends wher­ ever he goes. The man who lacks Courtesy, no matter how well meaning he may be, is his own worst enemy, and is responsible for his lack of pop­ ularity. "fi»»v ESCORTS WHO LACK COURTESY. Uvea there within thy nature hid , .

It is presumably t/he wish of every young man who invites a young wom- * an out to an evening entertainment to make the occasion as' much of a pleasure to her as is possible, but once in a while the best intentloned men fall into errors of Judgment. No reasonable young woman expects that he will willfully blind his eyes to the near presence of other women--his at­ tention riveted on her only. She does expect, however, that he will not show open admiration for other girls 'while he is acting as her escort, to the dis­ paragement of herself. The flirting escort does not really wish to give the girl to whom all his chivalry is due one heart throb of chagrin. He is simply careless, thoughtless. He should try to real­ ize how uncomfortable, not to say openly angry, he would be if she per­ sistently made eyes at the good-look- fgig man in the ballroom, on the street, or at any place he. was escorting her. A spirited young man would con­ tinue to treat her with the utmost courtesy, taking no notice of the fact that she was belittling him, but when he bade her good night at her door, it would be for the last time. It would be his own fault if he allowed himself to be imposed on at another time. The young man who takes a girl out for either a walk or a trolley or Street-car ride should strive . his ut­ most to be as entertaining as possi­ ble. To walk or ride a long distance by her side without exchanging so much as a\word with her would be apt to nettle the pride end arouse the anger of the most amiable girl in the SEEING A GIRL HOME. I only know they found the lost. The long-lost Eden, found all fair Where naught had been but hail and frost. As love finds Eden anywhere. It seems strange to relate, but It la actually true that there are quite as many bashful youths as maids not only in the country village, but in the cities as well. Such young men will go to great lengths, however, to keep their timidity from being suspected. One young man always made his es­ cape from the house on the evening a certain young girl whom he secretly admired came to call on his sister lest he should be requested to see her home. He opened out his heart to me in a lengthy letter, pleading with me to tell him what to say or do in case he was cornered and was therefore obliged to "see her home." The young man who finds himself in such a plight is more to be com­ miserated with • than laughed at. In the first place, he ^»as never gained confidence in himself, apparently, among his own home folks. No doubt his opinions have been ridiculed and the words taken out of his mouth, as it were, when he attempted to express himself. This, more than anything else, tends to foster awkwardness in a youth. There is but one royal road to a cure, but one way of overcoming it, and that is for a young man to force himself, if need be, to go to places where nice young are, to seek their society instead of running away from it. Seeing a girl home is by no means a frightful ordeal; on the con­ trary, it is a delightful pleasure, the very kernel of romance. Commencing with his sister's pretty chum is excel­ lent practice. Instead of stealing stealthily from the house, he should go deliberately to the partor. He may be dure he will be gladly welcomed by the girl gueBt. With his sister to come bravely to the rescue, if the conver­ sation is in danger of lagging, he may be reasonably sure of passing a very happy evening. When the hands of the clock veer around toward ten, and the girl begins to observe it with nervous apprehen­ sion, with visions of having a long, lonely walk before her mental vision, she will feel grateful indeed to hear from his lips the comforting words, "Will you allow me to escort you home, Miss Smith?" It is quite proper for the youth to ofTer his arm for protec­ tion, by acting, not words* The youth who is a poor conversa­ tionalist do'es well to start the ball roll­ ing by asking his companion if she has had a pleasant evenirig. Knowing his reputation for bashfulness, the girl will plunge straightway into respond­ ing that she never enjoyed an evening better. One word will lead to another and, ere he realizes it, the bashful young man will'find that he is no long­ er tongue-tied, but can laugh and ihat with the gayest of them. He comes to the plunge--that is, summon up sufficient courage to ask the maiden to see her home. Prac­ tice makes perfect. By being constant­ ly in young girls' company, bashful­ ness will soon wear away and in after time he will wonder how it was that he felt so awkward in the society of amiable girls. After the first spell of bashtulness is over, upon seeing a girl to her own domicile, he finds that it is not an ordeal--rather a delight. When she respects him kuflBciently to invite him to call some evening, it rests with him whether the romance will evolve into courtship. Half of the courtships the world over are begun by Seeing a pretty young woman home. ILL. The Boy of It. A boy wanted a dog, and the rich uncl& said: "Well, Eddie, suppose I give you two hundred dollars for a dog. Would you spend that whole sum on one dog. or. Would you buy a pretty good dog and put the rest of the money in the savings bank?" "Well, uncle," replied Eddie, "if you leave it to me, I would buy two hundred one- dollar dogs."

Philadelphia, July 1. --"America first, translated into what you do," was the new patriotic rallying cry sounded by President Wilson in an ad­ dress to the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World In Independence square here on Thursday. "America first means nothing," he said, "until you translate It into what you do." Tremendous applause swept over the crowd when the president uttered these words. He quietly silenced the Interruption and continued speaking to the sub­ ject of "The Duties of Americans to Their Country and to the Rest of the World." MYou cannot understand the people of the United States without working for them. I want you to understand that I am not interested in fighting for myself, but I erestqd in fighting for the things* believe in. In so far as we are concerned, I challenge all comers." The president congratulated the As­ sociated clubs for putting truth and candor into their business. "I wish very much," he said, "that truth and candor might always be the standard of politics." "It Is most Important, since I am in a fighting mood, to tell you some of the things I believe in. It is the duty of every American not to think of himself first, but of his country. "America " first means nothing un­ less you translate it into deeds," the president said. "I believe America should ever be ready. I believe that you must be just to nations as well as to men. It comes high, it is not an easy thing to do, but I believe that at whatever cost we should be Just to other people and demand the same treatment." The president said that while we have the right to demand justice from others, we should always be ready to give justice to anyone else. "I am ready tb fight for that at any cost." "I believe in the patriotism and. ini­ tiative of the average man," he ex­ claimed. "Some men say they believe in that, too, but they do not act that way.

The jury was' out only 50 minutes. Immediately after the verdict was returned Casement was sentenced to be hanged by Baron Reading, the lord chief justice. As the verdict was announced Case­ ment stood up bravely under the blow. Sir Roger, who was arrested in April while trying to land arms and ammunition in Ireland for the rebels, was placed on trial last Monday. Sir Roger addressed the court, read­ ing his final statement with the ex­ planation that he hoped it might reach a much larger audience than the one before him, and particularly in America. He declared that a trial before a Jury of Englishmen was un­ just. He said the Jury should have been Irish.
