WOMEN WHO REMAIN YOUNG.
Why 1t Is They Never Seem to Feel or
Show the Flight of Time.

why 1t Is They Never Seem to Feel
Show the Flight of Time.
There are some women who refuse to
grow old, whose spirits defy the de-
stroying forces of time. They are
young not only to outward appearance,
but are youthful to the core; in direct
contrast with that natural state that
affects the girl, when heart and mind
hold only the ashes of enthusiasm and
purpose.
The woman who will not or can not
recognize the rights and the beauties Of
the autumn and winter of life, and who
does not cheerfully if not gracefully ac-
cept them in her own experience is un-
true to the laws of her being. 1t is the
woman who has no quarrel with the
passing years, and who makes no des-
perate struggle to defeat if possible
those forces that take from her one by
one the attractions of person who is
found worthy to receive that youthful
ness of soul that makes all things new
to herself and to those about her.
People of this sort seem, to observers,
to possess a dual nature, and to own a
peculiar charm on account of it. The
woman who has wealth of experience,
and at the same time refuses to grow
old is priced by both young and old as a
companion. The kind of mysteriou.
magic that she seems to have about hei
draws like a magnet, and brings the
world to her feet.
Especially do the young flock to hei
for help and sympathy. She has the
strength that their inexperience Graves

crossed the Seine and kept along by the
banks Of the Aube. Daylight was just
beginning tostreall the eastern heavens
when Lafont thought he heard the
sound of horses behind him, and it was
not long ere he knew that he was being
pursued, and in ten minutes he was as

secret organization of thieves Lafont
had the notes concealed in various parts
of his dress, and taking the heavy dill

he set out on his mission.
Nothing wor thy of note occurred to
arrest Lafont's attention, until he had
passed nearly through the department
of the Seine and Marine, when, just at
nightfall, two well-dressed gentlemen
hailed the diligence, and claimed pas
sage to Chaumont. 1t was already too
dark for the agent to clearly distin-
guish the features OF the newcomers,
but yet from what little ne could see
he at once made up his mind that their
countenance were not unfamiliar to
him, and having come to this conclu-
sion, he determined to watch their
movements, for vague suspicion that
they had by some means become pos
sessed of the secret of his business took
possession of his mind,
The diligence crossed the Seine at
Nogent, and there remained for the
night. As soon as Lafont had oppor-
tunity to examine the countenances OF
the strangers at the supper-table, he
became satisfied that his. first impress

the day before his departure, and he
could not but notice that they both eyed
him with marked interest. After sup

A SONG FoR FATHER, roo.

The world is better for the song"
That tell OF mothers love;
Their sweetest echoes Ger shaH float
Around the Throne ABOVE.
But do you ever pause to think,
Az eve When work Is through,
That zephyrs from the south should bring
song for father, toog
May summers choicest petals fall
On messy banks we know,
To take away the chill we feel
When comes the drifting snow.
Yet while we weep beside the mound
Where sleeps a mother true,
Let grateful teardrops bear to oarth
A song for father, too.
The blades OF memory's grass are green,
For the hand that smoothod our brow;
We feel again the gentle touch
Where silver mingles now.
Yet when the night birds saddost notes
Bring thoughts our childhood knew,
Let not the heart forget to sing
A song for father, too.

Women as Fur BnYcra.

Very few women have any practical
knowledge of furs. The buying and
selling of skins has been principally
the business of shrewd, sharp men, but
in one of Broolllyn's stores there is a
young woman who can tell you at once
the quality of the skin in question She
has much practical knowledge of the
goods she handles, and it very often
happens that customers ask for her,
feeling great confidence in what she
tells them. This girl not only took the
prize for having sold the largest num-
Der of garments through the holidays,
but has also just taken a very large order,
perhaps the largest single order ever
taken in Brooklyn, or possibly New
York Moreover the garment is for a
Brooklyn woman, to be of cloth lined
with silvery tipped Russian sable, the
Innings alone to cost 81 ,4S0. 1t is to be
