I know it isnt Neither is what I'm about to do. Then it cant be getting married, can it? laughed Bess. .For assuredly that is being done hereabouts. twenty-fiv- e Isabel dismissed the thought as frivolous. I was about to say that I am twenty-fiv- e years old and that for five years a persistent idea has been pestering me with its presence in my thoughts. Dont you perhaps flatter yourself? Her chum insisted on being facetious. No, I do have serious thoughts, Bess. I have been watching mothers and children. I have helped to take care of two sisters youngsters and scores of neighbors babies. I find I have great success with them." Well,' what of it? Did you think of starting an orphan asylum? They dont start those; they just grow out of a community of voters, and by law and all that sort of thing, IsabeL Bess was still unable to be serious. No, I am not going to have an orphan asylum, although you might be Interested to know that in the recent reading of my vocational qualifications by an expert analyst I got nearly 100 per cent in my ability to take charge of groups of children, manage a home for sick babies or some kindred job! So now. Of course that only added to the force of my persistent idea that I could turn to practical account my knack of keeping children well. Some job, remarked Bess. , But Im going to do IL Ive made my plans with father and mother, and though neither of them is thrilled with the prospect, theyre going to let me have a go at It, said Isabel, earnestly. In spite of her levity Isabels lifelong chum gave her the greatest assistance in carrying out her plans to establish in her own home a center, where mothers might take their children, whom they seemed not quite to understand, mentally or otherwise. Isabel made a charge that could be met by most families, and she took the children at first only for a day in order to study them. Sometimes she watched them with other children. Sometimes she played with them herself to find out how the childs mind 'reacted to certain subjects. At other 'times she left them alone to see what they would choose to do voluntarily. Thus she studied them. She was thoroughly practical, for she weighed and measured them, found out what they had been eating without offense to the mother, ascertained the number of hours they had slept and under what conditions. Children responded to the atmosphere of her big playroom and garden with its adjacent sleeping porch and rest couches. They drank milk for her when they had refused to touch it at home ; they ate - carrots and onions or they slept or played just as she wanted them to. She had a decided understanding of children and their needs. It was not long before she found that she had more than she could do, even with the paid assistance of her chum. She was neither a nurse nor a doctor, but merely a student of child life, and her scope, while considered limited by folks, seemed almost unlimited. Mothers were delighted with the outlook the children got at life from Miss Isabels teachings. They went to visit her every time they seemed a little out of sorts and came home bright and well and cheerful and up to weight Isabel's idea was not to keep children for a long time but to put them as nearly right as she could in a short time so as not to let the mothers sense of responsibility be lessened. She became great friends with the visiting nurses in the various schools in the villages. They were much interested in her unusual plan and Its seeming success. I know of a very pitiful rcase of a father in our town who Is trying to bring up two little ones with the unsatisfactory help of a mere girl who I wish you could does housework. have them, said Miss Hecht, a nurse In an adjoining district. But why not? asked Isabel, interested at once. ' It's a delicate case. The father wants to do it. He doesnt see how The inadequately he is succeeding. little girl is pale, thin. The boy needs attention. "Perhaps I might talk to him, said Isabel. vThe nurse studied the young woman for a few moments. A light came I believe you could, into her eyes. He means the best in Jhe she said. world but hes not yet thirty and is, perhaps, devoted to the memory of the children mother and hates to see them in other hands. "Im going to try. said Isabel. By a strategic succession of arrangements, Isabel and the father of the children met He did not know who she was. She did know what he was. Whether it was fate, whether it was the guardian angel of the children or whether It was just plain Cupid's arrows, no one ever has been able to determine. But John .Storm was attracted at once to the young woman who had not known him a half hour before she was asking him about his children of whom she admitted she had heard. He warmed to the subject as she had never dreamed he would and, as he unfolded the inner man in his earnestness and sincerity for the welfare of his babies, Isabel began to feel a keen Interest in him. She felt that it must be merely the interest kindled through her desire to see the children taken care of. In less time than it took to bring about the meeting of Isabel and John Storm, she had the two children at her home and was feeding them, playing with them, making them rest and gain and grow red cheeks. John Storm, being a devoted father, came often to the restful home of his children. After they were tucked in bed with the other little ones and the temporary mother of them all was tired and ready to sit down, he frequently sat beside her. "John Storm Is a pretty good sized orphan, Isabel, chaffed her chum, Bess, after weeks of observing which way the wind was blowing. Isabel blushed In spite of her now I feel so sorry for twenty-si- x years. him, she said, lamely. "You know what pitys akin to, dont you? Isabel nodded. And that night she was forced to admit that It was more than pity that she felt for the father of John and Hazel Stor;p. If you think It would not interfere with my work I I think I could manage you, too, she said to him before he left On the contrary, I believe I could I shall help you, dear, he told her. spend my days in trying to show how truly thankful I am for you you, yourself and your wonderful care of my little ones. its Then said Isabel. a bargain, SECRET OF REMAINING YOUNG Method of Postponing Old Age Lies in Observing Moderation In Eating, Sleeping and Everything You Da Old age is as inevitable as death and taxes. But the term old age is elastic; some persons are old at fifty years; some are young at eighty. A witty Frenchman said once that a man Is as old as his arteries, which Is partly true, since the condition of the arteries is a pretty fair condition of the state of the other tissues and organs. Many physicians believe that the degenerative changes that are characteristic of old age begin in the arteries and appear later in the other tissues as a consequence of the diminished supply of blood and of Impure blood. One theory is that the arterial thickening and hardening invariably found in the aged (the aged as measured by diminished function and not by years) are to owing acting through many years; the poisons in the blood cause degenerative changes in the walls of the arteries. Another theory is that senility depends on changes In the cells and tissues caused by a principle in them that leads In early life to growth and in later life to decay. But whatever the theories, and there are many of them, they all lead to the same conclusion ; depending in the case of another on the mode of life he has followed, the period at which old age begins varies within the wide limits, and, barring an Inexorable inheritance, the individual can do much to postpone it Unfortunately, the time to begin Is early adult life, just when old age seems so remote as to be negligible. The secret of postponing old age lies in observing temperance in the broad sense of the word moderation in everything; in eating, in coffee drinking and tea drinking, in sleeping, in exercising, in working and indeed in every phase of human existence.
