WRINKLES.
Only in Childhood May One Live
a More or Less Placid Lite.
I clipped the following from the
"beauty" page of a Sunday news
paper: "Wrinkles are caused by tired
muscles. They are more easily
prevented than cured. To remain
wrinkleless woman must have a
placid existence, free from emo
tion." Why, certainly, but
I should like to see a picture of
the woman except she be a harem
beauty who is able to live a placid
existence, free from emotion.
Amotion is woman's life.
IF it does not come to her she
will seek it. Woman lives in her
heart. For that is the woman.
And she cannot really live and es
cape'her lot.
Only in childhood may one live
a more or less placid life.
As a young bride a woman must
face the severe trials of a young
housekeeper. The progress of
adjustment to the wedded life is
often made to the accompaniment
of many tears. Woman cannot
quit her wifely task because of the
muscle tire that causes wrinkles.
Free from emotion ?
As wife she must share the griefs
and divide the sorrows with her
husband. She cannot live the
placid life and let him tread the i
winepress alone. She, too, must
sometimes wrinkle her brow.
The placid life?
As mother she must suffer all
the pangs of motherhood. How
can she push away emotion when
her heart clutches in an agony of
anxiety through the watches of
the night for her children's sake ?
And what cares she for the coming
of the wrinkles in such a time?
Moreover
What sort of a woman would
she be did she escape the shocks
of emotion ? She must lie aimless,
because a fixed purpose requires
struggles. She must be love
less, because love means self
sacrifice. l)o not misunderstand. -Woman
may escape needless
j worry and useless stiiving. Mod
! ern woman is learning how to rest
i her tired muscles ly reasonable re
i taxation.
! Hut her world at best is a hard
I one. And sooner or later the tired
! face will show the wrinkles.
J Let her not be ashamed.
The noblest laces you know aie
! wr't:kled faces. And every v, rin
i kle tells its story of sacrifice and
helpfulness.
The sweetest face I ever knew
I was a wrinkled face. The last
lime 1 saw that lace it was in a cof
fin on which were piled many flow
ers. It w is the l.ice of mother.

At tnst he called on her once more,
And O. his heart leaped In surprise,
For all the ehllllnetis of yore
Was fully vanished from her eyes;
He murmured through the little speech.
That for Oils moment he had planned
She did not flutter from his reach;
She let him hold her white, white hand!
With bubbling Joy hit blood ran swift.
He dropped his arm about her waist;
Her eyelids she did not uplift.
Swift bluslus o'er her temples raced,
ITer golden hair hot touched his cheek
As he so gladly bent above
And, tilled with thoughts he euutd not

Tried, stammering, to tell his love.
She looked up then, Into his face,
Her hits curved sweetly In a smile

GRANDMOTHER.
Where Are the Roses ot Yester
day? Qrandmother Has! hem.
Hardly has a line fuller of sad
ness ever been penned than Omar's
"Where is the rose of yesterday?"
There is something pathetic in
anything that is past just because it
is past.
This peculiar tact I have also
noticed - that 1 remember a past
sorrow with a pleasunier Feeling
than thai which I experience in
recalling a past joy.
When the recollection ol thai
lime 1 was betrayed, that time I
failed, or that lime 1 was humilia
ted, comes 10 me I have the same
sense of relief lhat 1 feel in waking
from a bad dream and being glad
it was all a dream. It is over,
thanks be! the past is over, and
the present is free.
"Je suis, elle n'est pas; elle est
je ne suis plus."
(I am, it is not: it is, 1 am no
more.)
But there is a little thorn set in
"the rose of yesterday."
"Dear as remembered kisses af
ter death," writes Tennyson,
"Deep as first love and 'wild with
all regret, oh death in life, the days
that are no more."
And he says the same better in
the line, "A sorrow's crown of
sorrow is remembering happier
things."
There is a well known expres
sion in Dante to the same effect
"There is no greater sorrow than
to be mindful of the happy time in
misery. (Longtellows s transla
tion.") Also Boethius, in his Consola
tion of Philosophy, says: "Infe
licissium genus est infortunii fuisse
felicem" (to have been happy is the
most unhappy kind of misfortune.)
I am still of those, you notice, who
think that a bit of foreign tongue
spices a page.)
There are many kinds of sorrow
Some kinds burn and destroy, some
others chill and deaden, while still
others work madness in us; but the
sorrow that is set up in us by the
memory of past happiness is like
none of these, but is soft and pin
tle, and disposes to charity and no
bleness of heart.
Therefore, life ought to grow
sweeter as it grows riper, and old
age, bearing so many gracious
memories, ought to be lovelier than
life's prime as sunset is lovelier
than noon.
Of all the household grandmoth
er ought to be the dearest. There
are no red kisses on her lips, as
upon Susanna's IH-year-old cher
ry ripeness, that our lips should
seek them, but there are remem
bered kisses there, very hagrant
to the soul.
There are no fierce passions in
grandmother's heart, but there are
the angels of dead passions, who
walk among her thoughts as stately
shadows pass through gardens of
roses and rue.
She is old, but she is not bitter.
The little graves in her heart are
covered with long June grass. The
dead days of joy, each is marked
with a cross.
If it were not for, grandmothers
we should never know how per
fect and beautiful this huniuii life
may be.
You wonder why she is so serene
an optimist. It is because her joy
is sorrow that has ripened, and
her faith is not a militant creed,
but a matured instinct.
She is so sure and wise because
she knows that so very many
things make no matter.
That, perhaps, is why the little
boy seems to love her, if not better, i
at least m a more intimate and un
derstanding way than he loves his
iniiliiei. lnuiiUiiiijiiiei litis CotliC
into that rare wisdom that sees and
knows the child's heart.
A happy child is a happy animal;
a happy girl is a happy heart; a
happy mother is a happy human;
but a happy grandmother is best of
all, for she is a happy spirit.
1 know where are those roses of
yesterday. Grandmother hasthem.
