Show A Joy. Not ' I-ZsjEopoliZwdl By E. M. H. ' .1. Youth alwaya . haa more or ' lesa advantage and haa alwaya been duly recognized, but in this generation one aometimes wonders, while being, crowded off the highway, smiled at amid twinkling curls or from a blase face with alick pompadour pom-padour from tha movie acreen, - or outdistanced on the .dance floor, all by thoae "not a day over 21," whether or. not there ia anything that youth haa not monopolized. But in the flight of time, which makes us nearly all of an age, the "Morantic" one who says youth is everything and to youth we must bow and pay 'homage ia all well and kood, but there are many things left as that elastic limit is passed. In this- day of motor travel and speedy steam cars the person who travela ia no longer looked upon with, awe, for everyone travela and no one ia remote. ' Someone mentioned the other day that time was when few people ever thoupht of taking a trip, and now everyone doea it and is peeved and abused if it ean-not ean-not be done every season. lSut this progress haa a wonderful won-derful advantage of renewing old friendships, which compensates com-pensates for the flight of time in other ways. One must needs leave youth behind ere ona appreciates friends made iii the travels through life, and old friends are ever the best. Some may be exceedingly poor correspondents, but one instinctively in-stinctively feels, a tie of friendship existing there which neither years nor silence can ver break; and there comes a t:,iie when in traveling the thread is taken up again, for but a brief time perhapa, but iu recalling pat pleasures, pnst events and filling in the interim when aeparated with explanations and incidenta one tastes of something youth may tv-ver know until one looks I'tiek on youth. . e e e |
