There is a sweetness of the child, and a sweetness of tbe old. The sweet- jness of the child is largely indepen dent of his personality. It is in his ways and in his looks, and the same thing is true, though not quite so much of the young woman. But when sweet ness comes at sixty, it is the expres sion of the very nature o the soul Mr. Barrie somewhere, we believe, has said that no woman is really beautiful until she is 53. The beauty that is worth mort is the beauty that is con nected with the character itself. Nor man Hapgood in Harper's Weekly. MISS SPRINGS GOES TO NEW YORK.

People still talk of the marvelous ball given by Mrs. Naylor, when, it is aid, the flowers cost $25,000. Nowa days a hostess seldom spends more than $500 on floral decorations. nevertheless, at the present day, what migat be termed a smart London ball is a very costly affair indeed, and few expect to get out of them under $3,500 or $4,000, and where there is a cotillion, witn expensive presents, the cost of the entertainment fre quently exceeds $o,000."

CHILDREN'S DRAWERS 9c MRS. BARUCH TEACHING PATRIOTISM. To Mrs. S. Wittkowsky, who is a constant reader of the 2sew York papers, Th3 News is indebted for the following from the New York Times. Mrs. Simon Baruch, whose kind and patriotic act the article is about, is the wife of the famous Dr. Simon Baruch of New York. Says The Times, January 11: "There will be a meeting of the Na tional Society of Patriotic Women on January h at the Waldorf. Professor Fox and Mr. Prendergast will address the society. Mrs. Simon Baruch, who is one of the members, went with Miss Guernsey to the Children's Court one day recently. Among the cases brought up was that of two little Ital ians which interested her. They had been arretted for selling gum without! a license and had resisted the officer and used vile language. Mrs. Baruch. after they had been reprimanded, in vited them to her home, with their mothers f.s escorts, and, after giving them the time of their lives, feeding them, and so on, bade them go home and pick out twenty other little boys who were addicted to bad language and bring them to see her. Then she said she would form two little clubs and each small leader should have a beautiful silk American flag to use when he called his club together. This flag he must honor, and the way to do that and to show proper respect for it, was to be a little American gentleman, and American gentlemen "never use vile language." This hon or to the flag they have adopted, is part of what the society is trying to teach immigrants, believing that pa triotism and love of country help large ly, in the making of good citizens. Mrs. Baruch has faith that the twenty little boys will appear, and she will try to teach them to help the "cops" uphold law and order and to realize tbat only srood boys may become desirable American citizens.
