Oar olty fetbrs spend considerable money every winter aaaon setting oat shade trees and leave them 3 tbe tender mercies of wild and reoless and rrecfcful children to break, bend and twist mil they are dead. Tbe authorities don't eem to pay a particle of attention to them fter tbe setting. In days gone by the trees on ack streets such as Harrlsbarg, Jail street nd others of that class were tenderly and arefvlly nnrtued until now they are the >est shaded streets In town. If all the streets of Abbeville had been Ined with good water oaks years ago we rould now have the most magnificently haded town in tbe State. Oaks and films re what we need. Maples are pretty bat too rlttle. Trees should be carefully set oat and irotected by strong slakes or post* for two or bree years. Up-land trees should be secured mt nothing from swamps. Let as all help to roteot tbe trees and If our city coauoll will iut a few bad boys oa the chain gang for aliclous mischief our streets will all be eautlfally shaded In a few years. X Thy Woman Keep Their Age a Mystery. BY H. B. R. HKRTZBERQ. Woman's reluctance to let her age >e known baa been tbe theme of ten housand jests in prose and rhyme. The reason for the questionable liter,ry popularity of this trait is that tbe rait exists to-day as it existed a lundred years ago. However averse a woman may be to teeping a secret in a general way, sbe s perfectly able to keep her age a secret be minute she has graduated from ler teens. When men have written on the subect they have come to the conclusion hat woman's vanity stood responsible or her unwillingness to disclose the lumber of her years. This explanation has become, thereore, tbe accepted solution of tbe quesion. We've taken it to be true as we ake it to be true that two and two jqual four rather than eeventeen. jBut it appears to me we've been at 'ault. The cause lies deeper than the shalow surface soil of vanity. Tt ? L~ T fKlnV In loaa CY. 11 may uc iuuuu, x tuiua, *u ?vww Mored, and less exploited ground. Is not woman's secretivencss recarding ber age one of the various nauifestations of ber great ambition ind desire in life?to remain acharmng mystery in the eyes of man. Tbere is no doubt that such is her imbition. There is no doubt, either, hat this ambition is based on reasona)le grounds. Familiarity will breed oontempt. So saying was ever more faultlessly jorrect. You can't eat breakfast and iinner, day after day, with an ethereal joet without losing faith eventually in lis ethereality. You can't see a cele>rity at close range for any length of ime without beginning to depreciate lis claims to fame. This great though deplorable truth ;he average woman thoroughly underitands. And as she understands it, she acts > it wherever it is possible to act.
