How Old Is She :

Boston Globe.
To tell a woman's age is one OF
the easiest things imaginable, de-
soite the TACT that many brilliant
ladies' knock off a few stories OF
their years without detection.
Her bangs! No, her back hair
Now, don't say it is lalse. False
or real, you can count her ryears by
Ibe threads time weaves. Every
wear adds a hair or two, and, no
doubt if woman lived long
enough she would become a lemale
Esau.
A twenty-five a woman's back
hair begins to fall over her collar
as a pumpkin VINE over a plckeI
| fence. Note well the direction OF
the hair. Hair slanls, and at thirty
| il takes an angle of 80, at thirty
five 80, and so on.
OF course you can't get near
enough TO apply a mathemalic tape
measure. But your pracliced eye
will be enough.
Next note the quality. HAIR a.
twenty-five is MORE, at thirty 1t Is
saieen, at thirly-five it is passe'
salinetle, at forty it Is rope ut i'
hang any man that gels noosed il
I It's mesher.
ANYBODY can tell false or store
hair no matter who the prevlou
owner was. Il has a doesn't be
Iong.there look, and all the pom
aees in The universe cannot give
. a permanent tenure of Office. .
So you may reasonably conciuu

New York has a law that COM
pels candidates for Office TO make
a sworn report of all their cam
paign expenses. Either this keeps
the expenses down very low, or
else some of the expenses are OF
such a character that the candl-
dates would rather commit perjury
than to reveal them. In LOckport,
n. Y, it cost the candidates in the
recent municipal election just
about 1920 to be elected; at all
events that is what The city clerks
Office SAYS. The Republican can
! dldate for Mayor, Tim Oliver, heads
the list with 500 out Of his pocket.
! He defeated the Democratic can
didalp, James s. Lidcle, who put
np iusl twenly-seven dollars TO be
elected. Some candidates swore
that they did moi know that they
were running. aud others put up
| from 25 cents to $40. IL was the
cheapest election held there for
years.
