The Mother-in-LaW and Old Maid.

Gambler in the Union Signal, makes plea
for the much abused mother-in-law and old maid
in well chosen and deserving consideration:
Take the old mad that target for rbald abuse
ever since the world stood. Is there anything par
ticularly humorous in the fact of lonely life of
self-abnegaton, that denies itself to serve others?
Not many old maids were forced to live single.
The great majority refused to marry without love,
even for lucre, or renowned love to be constant
and faithful to prior claims of aged parents or
HELPLESS little brothers and sisters. Perhaps the
old maid aunt is little grabbed sometimes, and a
little queer; she has a few odd ways, and doesn't
always exactly harmonic with the rest of the fam
lily circle, but the lips that jeer at her, and the
finger that points at her in scorn, will be held to
account some day, when the Lord casts up His
ledger The tender simplicity, and the grand UNI
selfshness of the old maids nature, will earn
place for her in heaven, by and by, that you and
may be thankful to stand afar off and look up to.
Take the mother-in-law. Is there nothing
sacred left for mans generation? Has it come to
pass that the divine love and the tireless zeal of
motherhood are without honor in the land? A ma
ton guffawing over vile jests at the expense of
maternal love! Daily papers that should be organs
whereby honor and purity and probity are adj
vanced, panderng to the taste that selects moth
er as the target for its ridcule No wonder the
entire social economy is out of ORDER and trickery
and misrue sit in high places in a nation where
reverence and chiyalry are out of date. Our
grandmothers tell us, as recalls the legends Of
forgotten past, of time when children were
taught to reverence the aged, when young men
were chivarous, and old men courtly, yielding a
beautiful Difference to women as her right, and to
motherhood as the coronation that made woman
Queen of Heaven. But what change the present
generation has wrought! Where is the eye that
kindles, or the hand that leaps to the sword, when
the laugh goes around at the expense of defense
less woman, or the coarse jest that crowns with
dishonor the sacredness of the Madonna head?
Did you ever stop to think of all that is in
volved in the term ''mother-in-law" mother
has received frow heaven, heavens sweetest gift
precious child. She has brooded over every
moment of its baby life She has stood next to
God to it's heplessness.' She has nursed it through
terrible Illnesses she has guided and controlled
prayed away temptation, and interposed her own
bosom between the shafts of sorrow and its tender
heart, Her child has grown to womanhood, dear

Remembering Ones Age.

From Dress.
Ladies past forty should be very careful in the
selection of their gowns and other paraphernalia.
Soft silvery tnts goods with the sheen of the sun
ligh5, but not It's glare upon them blend and har-
monte POLITICALLY with the first gray hairs while
garish coloring accentuates these early marks of
time Never does woman need taste and tact in
dress more than between the years of forty and
sixty.
Somebody, in telling women how to shake off
the appearance of years, says: "Resist the first
inclination to stoop. Brace up whenever the
shoulders settle in the least. 10 place ones self
sidewise before mirror and allow the back to
curve forward, then gradually to sraghten it, will
convince any one that, with every inch that is
raised, ten years seem to be taken from the APP
parent age"
There is wisdom in that suggestion. Nothing so
much assists one in making favorable impression
as good carriage 1t is much more effective
than pretty face, and is never associated with
age in any ones mind Any letting down of the
shoulders or 'settlng" of the figure tells at once
that time and the world are getting the best OF
one.
1t is well to ''brace up in mind as well as body,
to sraighten the mental shoulders and take cour-
ageous and hopeful attitude within as well as with

ton, equal to any emergency, fresh, high-splrted
and hopeful, it is doubtful if our shoulders would
ever droop, or our forms shorten and thiCken as
