She Earns Her Living as Hardly as Does
Her Husband.
Mrs Fenwick Miller has been talking
TO English women about the trials and
compensations Of wifehood. She finds
that wives even of men of the richer
class earn their living as hardly as do
their husbands. There is so much to
arrange and so much to do by the mis-
tress, even when servants are kept.
The mistress is always on duty, always
pursued by her responsibilities Com
plete absorption and complete repose

keeper never has the pleasure of either.
Her work is perhaps all trihing. all

ans work in the house is as important
to the community as that of the man

claim for fair wages. As far as
the work goes, hers is generally
the more laborious because the more
incessant and the less interesting.

THE FASCINATING PERIOD
Of a Woman's Life Is Not Considered q
IL Was of Old.

II Was OF old.
At what age under the old regime a
woman was considered passes it would
be dangerous TO say-presumablv soon
after she had quilted her teens. Swift
wrote with cruel candor Of Stell as fad
ing charms, and sent her, as a birthday
gift, a rhymed Receipt to restore her
Lost Youth, at period that we should
consider the prime Of life. The caustic
Dean of St Patrick's wondering
"How angels look at thirty-six''
proves a sharp contrast to a more mod
ern writer. Prof Lewes, who. in his
Life Of Goethe. speaks Of thirty-three as
a fascinating period of woman's life,
being that in which he considered her
to have reached the fun development of
her powers of mind and body. Such a
sentiment would at once have
been considered rank heresy, yet
thirty-three was the age at
which Frau Won Stein proved
dangerous 10 the heart of the poet who
had survived the more youthful charms
of a Gretchen. a Charlotte, and a Lii.
Prof. Lewes' view seems to be based on
the old French idea of each q ge having
its distinct and honorable position and
limitations. No people, perhaps, appre-
ciate more perfectly the innocent flower
ike beauty of adolescence than the
French Like the loveliness OF child
hood, it is to them JOY and delight to
be made much of while it lasts, and like
that period il is expected to have its
definite limits. The line between jeuHe
fHe and eieille file is in that polite land
drawn with a sharper and more
merciless hand than in our own; yet
it is the glory of that French life, with
its clear and practical limitations and
its alteration of youthful beauty, to
have presented the finest flower Of
courtesy that the world has ever known,
to women who had lost the charms of
early youth and ruled the minds, and
even the hearts, of men by their wit
and their wisdom, their vivacity and
their grace. 1t is impossible to read
any description of salon life in Paris
without realizing the immense power
that such women as Madame de Ram
bouillct, Madame DefIand, who could
tolerate everything but the common
place, Madame Necker, her brilliant
daughter, Madame de Stael, and her
cherished friend, Madame d'Houdetot,
exercised in literary and political as
well as in social matters.-Harper's Ba-

a New York Climb.

New York is said to possess the only
genuine ladies' clubhouse in this coun-
try, and probably in the world, which
is not founded on some common. inter
est in business art or literature, and
exists purely for the convenience and
comfort of its members. Sleeping
rooms are provided, which the out-of.
town member may use in her trips to
the city, for one dollar night. The
menu is not elaborate, but suits the
feminine taste, and is we'll served and
dainty. The present headquarters OF
the Ladies' New York club are on
Twenty-second street, between Broad
way and Fourth avenue.
