It is a temper of ality of the imagination, 'a vigor of the emotions. It is a fresh- ness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite of ad- venture over love of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old by merely living ber of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. . . . . "Whether seventy or sixteen, there is in every being's heart the love:of wonder, the amazement at the stars and the starlike things and thoughts, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what next, and the joy and the game of life. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.

In substantiation of the argument that every vice was once a virtue, Will Durant says: ) "Primitive man ate like the mod- ern dog, because he did not know when his next meal would come, In- security is the mother of greed. Every vice was once a virtue, and 'may become respectable again, just as hatred becomes respectable in war- time." / : : In describing how the moral code has changed in the transition from the agricultural era to the industrial age, Mr. Durant writes: "The city offered every discourage: ment to marriage, while it provided every stimulus and facility for sex. Erotic development came as early as before, economic development later. That restraint upon desire which had been feasible and r ble under the agricultural regime, seemed now | m a difficult and unnatural thing in an industrial civilization that had post- poned marriage, for men, even to the; thirtieth year. Inevitably the flesh began to relLel. Chastity, which had been a virtue, be came a joke. Mod: esty disappeared.

It was conceived as both similar to living creatures and different from hope, cheer, grandeur, courage, and 'Diners ont who soup on the menu, showing that the romance which clings to the turtle is sufficient attraction to tempt the pat- ron.

CHANCE Before the war, if a man did not have the money necessary to finance his college career, he remained olky of school until such time as he had amassed a sum sufficient to pay his expenses. But that meant the wast- ing of valuable years before he could embark upon his professional career. And with the constantly increasing cry for youth, from all sides, this system of gaining an education has undergone considerable change. Em- ployers demand youth and--educated youth. So that nov the average age | of first-year men is much lower than some years ago. And still more men' and women-are financing themselves each year. | It was in an endeavor to assist these men and women that the Bureau uf Appointments of the University of | Toronto was started some ten years | ago. Begun on a small scale, it has expanded until last year some 1,000 students were referred to employment. And still the demands for positions are increasing. It has been through ! the co-opeartion of graduates of the University that so many students have | been offered employment, which will enable them to continue their courses, By the very nature of the Bureau's contacts, the largest part of this em- ployment has been in the larger cen son frequent hotels and: | restaurants usually find "mock turtle" operating from Canadian Atlantic ports to Bermuda, the British West Indies and points in British Guiana and British Honduras.

In an endeavor to do away With thls waste the Bureau is drawing to the attention of those readers outside the largest cities the possibility of obtain- ing satisfactory assistance during the summer months and at the same time assisting some worthy student to his goal. The types of employment desired are legion and run all the way from farming, road work, mining, etc. for the men to domestic service of ail kinds for the women students. mobile driving, garage and service station work are also urgently re- quired, as are clerical and other posi- tions of like nature.

"After a bit, it'll all come as easy as kiss me 'and," I did not pause to assure him that I should have found it by no n.eans easy to kiss his hand; but the ABC of golf I found even mers difficult than that. 3 Unable to profit by experience; however, I continued to look for other ABC's of other worlds that I feel must be there for me to conquer. It was in this spirit that I recently set out to learn to drive a motor-car. It must, I told myself, be easy since even the most foolish of my friends can do it. + « « Consequently, I arranged to take a course of lessons and ossessed my- self of a book, Motoring Without Trouble: The Owner-Driver's A B C, which I took home.

Boris is 26 years old and Giovanna is 21. As kings go nowadays, Boris is a relatively poor man, His salary is only $43,000 a year and gives half of it to charity. However, he will be able to give his bride not only a part of his throme, but half-a dozen palaces in different parts of Bulgaria. It is understood also that the Bulgar- ian Government will give the king a substantial increase in his civil lists when ie marries to enable him to keep his bride in a style suited to the dignity and taste of a queen. Boris's bride will receive as a wed- ding gift from Boris a full-fledged menagerie of elephants, lions, tigers, buffaloes and other animals, as well as the finest and largest collection of butterflies and rare insects in Europe, several huge conservatories of flowers, a narrow-gauge railroad (which enriches the palace grounds in Varnia, near Sofia), several Ameri- can automobiles, and such crown jewels as Boris was able to save out of the post-armistice wreckage of his country when Czar Ferdinand, his father, fled abroad. Boris's intellectual qualities and versatility are far above those of the average monarch, He not only knows all about ruling a country, but is a first-class engineer, zoologist, botanist, bibliophile, and a great authority on natural history. He is also a brilliant linguist, speaking Fernch, German, Russian, Bulgarian, Turkish, English, Italian and Albanian.
