HAILS PASSING OF MIDDLE AGED WOMAN

Writer Eulogizes Present Age of Youthfulness Gray bain are gone, old age is out of date, and a sign of the times is the disappearance of the middle-aged woman. •- This is as it should be. So long as a mature woman does not ape a flapper, why should she not keep her youthful looks Into the forties—or the seventies? Why Should a dowager assume that It Is her duty to be dowdy? A black gown and a white heart are not inseparable, and dull gray and goodness do not always go together. If a woman is “all glorious within” It Is well that her looks should make this manifest. Nowadays our social world seems to be divided into girts, young married women and women who are greatgrandmothers. No more do you see the middle-aged matron, with tier proud grace and reserved bearing; or the mother of forty, with her flow of talk and flock of Mull daughters. And we never come across the sweet-faced, sad eyed single woman—the typical maiden aunt of the Victorian era. Sad to say, the ideal old lady* has gone forever, with her silver hair, white cap, black gown and gentle, dignified manners. Old ladies, such as those depicted in Whistler’s famous portrait of his mother, or in Manet’s picture of Mme. Manet mere, have ceased to exist in our social life of today. Everything In life—art, dress, rules of health and beauty culture —tends toward the exit of the middle-aged woman. And she is out of it on the stage and in fiction. Balzac’s “Femme de Trente Ans” seems a back number, as many heroines in up-to-date novels are well on In the forties and fifties. 1 And the same note is sounded in the plays of the period. Most of us live up to this august example. Women of sixty or seventy, yacht, hunt shoot, dance, play golf and hookey and drive their own motor cars. One peeress, who was married in the sixties, drives her car with success, and another of the same age leads cotillons, although she is the proud owner of several grandchildren. Much can be said on the side of perennial youthfulness. The desire to prolong one’s youth shows vital force and Is said to be a sure proof of national well-being. Every woman for her own sake would fain keep fresh and young, as she is well aware that so long as her looks remain she can rule men. and there will be no' “Finis” written on the page of her book of life—The Hon. Mrs. Fltxroy Stewart in the Ixmdon Mall. — Great Speed of Air Craft When speed records established by airmen are recorded, only those who •re in the game can really understand what real speed means. Trains or autos traveling at the rate of sixty miles an hour give • thrill, but what are these compared with “air” thrills. A very good Illustration was given by an aviator who took part in one of the contests, acting as mechanic on an airplane which was moving at nearly two miles-a minute. “We seemed to have the whole sky to ourselves one minute,” he said, “and then behind us appeared one of the giants. She overhauled us as if we were standing still, and was far in front almost before we realized we were not alone.” Curiously enough even the airmen themselves find it difficult to estimate at what rate they are tearing over the earth. New Disease Announced A new disease has been discovered by Dr. Marshall Clinton, of the University of Buffalo. The symptoms are •harp shooting pains in the side. Prior to his discovery, he deciares, many physicians mistook it for ap pendlcltis. gall bladder infection, kidney trouble or some other serious ailment. Many women have been operated on for appendicitis, when housewife’s rib was all that was th£ matter with them. Doctor Clinton says. The ailment Is common and occurs moat frequently among housewives. Persons who are shortwaisted are eepecialiy subject to it The cure for costoigia consists of an operation to remove the tip of the floating rib.— Pathfinder Magazine. Reflected Glory Two artists on tour took a hack at Marseilles to visit the city in comfort At the end of a few minutes the cabman turned around and remarked: “Til say you two are no fools.” Astounded, the two friends looked at each other without a word. Five minutes afterward the same thing happened. “Why do you keep telling os thatF* asked one of the travelers. “Ha! pardL” he answered. “You have engaged, without knowing it. the beat cabman in Marseilles.”-—Le Rlre. Peris. , Made Provision fee PeU A kind old English lady was ep much attached to three goldfish that she left £7O ($350) for their feed and care When they died the interest from the ’money was to be used to keep the grass green and smooth above their graves and decorated with fitting flowera Another woman provided SSOO a year for the care of her parrot The keeper was to bring the bird every two, years to a certain lawyer that identification, might be made of the bird as the original on*.

Young Husband Comes Forward With Advice One year after marriage is the moment when a man can talk the soundest sense on the vital subject of marriage. Before that he does not know enough. Afterwards he may know too much and be unable to. see the wood for the trees. “A Happy Husband” writes in the Continental Edition of tile London Mail. When I went to the altar last September it was with the old adage for the proper handling of matrimonial quarrels—“ When you are in the wrong apologise. When you are in hie right apologize twice!”—ringing in my ears. It was good advice and I have never regretted following IL Women are great hands at giving new lamps for old. Make little sacrifices for them, and they will make big ones for you. “Remember a wife’s birthday, it has been wittily said, “and the remaining 364 days of the year will look after themselves.” Considering how careful women are to study our little ways and peculiarities. it seems a pity we do not take more trouble to study theirs. They are renlly so ridiculously easy to manage, if we only knew it. They do not alter with the ages except on the surface. The woman of today prizes most the same qualities as the woman of 1924 B. C. did before her —chivalrous instincts, first overtures to reconciliations. the ready shouldering of responsibility and blame. They may not comment on these things at the tim?, but they will remember them, and the reward will be a hundredfold. When you shut your mouth tight and smother the clever retort which springs to mind, they know they have got a man. Sometimes they will deliberately do things to test a husband; Lucky the man who successfully survives that test. It is on him. and on him alone, that tl»e uttermost treasures of a woman’s soul will one day be lavished. Proper Diet for Fly Are you feeding your house files properly? These delicate creatures, so charming and desirable about the home, ean’t be happy and healthy on just “any old thing” you leave about (pr them, says the Kansas City Star. In the Journal of Experimental Zoology R. W. Glaser tells of a series of experiments to discover Just what sort of food is suitable for them. The housewife will appreciate the information. On an exclusively protein diet they live from one to eight days. Eating only sugar the life period is longer, but no eggs are laid—no baby files to gladden the home. Mr.“ Glaser reached the conclusion that the very best food Is sugar and some form of starch that can be eaten and assimilated. On such a diet* they thrive, live long and lay plenty of eggs. The average life of the house fly Is only about twenty days. In general, female files live longer than males. Steam-Heated Bird Nest Steam-heated nests with steam baths are being used by a pair of bluebirds in Yellowstone park, according to reports to the national'park service headquarters at Washington. The happy couple have, however, avoided expensive modern plumbing and steam fittings. They have simply taken over one of nature’s big steam plants by constructing their cozy home in the nearly extinct Excelsior geyser cone. Every morning they can be seen darting in and out of the steam. Plants are also using the geyser as a natural greenhouse. Wild strawberries have been found growing not far from the cone two weeks ahead of their usual season. QueHions of State The proprietor of a village store was sitting with the ‘ loafers who had formed a circle around the stove. His sole assistant was a youngster who had lately drifted in from parts unknown. , A woman entered and asked for a pound of cheese.' She would not allow the assistant to wait on her, but insisted on having the proprietor. Tlie lad must have been trained in some city office, for to this demand he made firm reply: “Can’t disturb him now. He’s to conference.” — Pittsburgh ChronicleTelegraph. Linen Defies Time "A piece of linen, sent to our research department recently from London, though 6,000 years old, waa found to be as perfect structurally as the linens we are making today.” Thia was the statement made by W. H. Webb, the chairman of the Irish Linen society, recently, at Oxford. England, and he explained it on the grounds that germs <rf decay would nothing to do with linen. Similarly. he said, the windings found in 1881 on the mummy of Rameses 11, who oppressed the Israelites to the time at Mpaaa, were still perfect

Gootf Campaign Story Just before an election, says Pathfinder Magazine, there was a small group of ready talkers making a lot of noise. One fellow, said It reminded him of the fanner who told a restaurant man he was going to drain his firog pond and would gladly sell him a carload <rf frogs. One day the farmer came in with a market basket full of frogs. The restaurant man said: “Where are ’he rest of them?” The farmer said: "This is all I could find.

CHINK HAS SHORTEST NAME Baltimore, Md.—The shortest name in all the world is in the possession of a student in the Johns Hopkins Medical School, it was discovered here Sunday. His name is Mr. I. Philologists declare that it must be the shortest name in existence, as’ it is composed of but one letter, and the., letter which displaces less space than any other of the alphabet.
