THE TRANSITION STAGE.
1t Is Without Question a Sad Time in a
WOman's Life.

Woman's Life.
There is time in woman's life
when she is too old for the dances and
frolic of the young and too young for
the quiet corner of the old. No class
claims her. She feels often like an
alien from the commonwealth of wom-
anhood. In charitable work and in So
cial life the invisible line is passed. No
one invites her now to preside at the
fancy booth or hasten the sale of flowers
with her gracious smile. Neither is she
asked to give the dignity of her age and
position as one of the patronesses of the
fair. She is laughed at if she dresses
in the gay colors her soul loves, or
scolded by her family for always wear
ing black.
She has no part in the play, but is
quietly relegated to the position of
stage setter and prompter, while
younger and older women pose and win
applause. Her beauty is not at it's best
She has neither the fair girlish face
which is the prophecy of what will be-,
nor the sweet old face which is the his
tory of what has been. White hair does
not crown her with glory, and she has
lost the golden curls Of her youth. The
blossom has faded and the fruit does not
yet compensate for its loss
The trials of the transition state en-
velop her in her home. Sometimes she
feels that her husband is almost desert
ing her for the young daughter, who is

love with years ago. a., ,,.
The solving of the domestic problem
has not made such drafts upon his men,
tai and physical resources as it has
upon hers. He is comparatively
young man, and no one dreams of ask
ing him to step aside from any familiar
path.
At times. she wonders if she is not a
childless woman. She was necessary to
her little children, but her growing sons
and daughters do not seem to need her;
at least they do not cling to her with
the tender caresses of their babyhood.

The Uniforms Too Bright.

1t is pointed out as one of the conse-
quences of the universal introduction of
smokeless powder which is now immi-
nent, that, as soldiers will have to seek
all possible cover, it will be necessary
to multiply the number of orderlies and
messengers, and the Commander-in-
Chief will have to take his position in
the centre of action to watch every
thing and be ready to modify the orig
inal plan, swiftly if needful. The
change from brilliant uniforms to those
of soberer and safer hues will involve
such expense that it is likely to be de-
ferred for while, but the glitter of
helmets and bayonets is now SO danger

Minister of War has given orders that in
