THE WOMAN OF FORTY.
A Tribute to the Matured Female by O
Who Has Studied Her

Tribute to the Matured Female by One
Who Has Studied Her.
At forty, if ever, the ladies know how
to make the most of themselves which
is untrue of the vast majorities in the
twenties. Perhaps at no other age is
the best type of woman more striking
ly beautiful She understands how to
exercise her gifts and charms in most
effective fashion
The grace of perfect self-possession,
often wanting in young women, is hers,
says the Troy Press. If she was diff
dent awkward and inexperienced, con-
tact with society has removed these i'm
projections; if she was gushing, emo
tional, affected and too talkative, she
has corrected these faults and Is warily.
winsome where before she was posi-
lively wearisome. In the normal evo-
luton of taste she has acquired the
rare art of dressing faultlessly and so
avoiding the detracting 'infelicities of
earlier years. Her selections of style,
color and material harmonic with her
figure, complexion and the occasion,
and she doesn't look day over thirty"
The woman of forty is infinitely
more attractive to men than she will be
in later life when her fine complexion
fades, wrinkles leave their year-marks
across her brow, silver threads in her
glossy hair, her eyes lose their luster
and her step its sprightliness She
may always be agreeable, but never
again so fascinating.
The woman of forty! She is dis
tracing, delightful divine. Her So
ciety is solace which robs remem-
brance of all remorse and poverty OF
all pain. The spell of her dark, depth
less eyes wakens intent emotions into
ecstatic life, while the music of her
voice thrills and fills the soul with Joy
unspeakable. Grace, goodness and
gentleness supplement the rare and
ravishing beauty of face and figure,
and her welcoming smile is a precious
prize, beside which wealth and learn
ing and Kingdoms are but dross. Lux
uriant nature in the infinite plentitude
of her blessings has bequeathed tc
man naught else SO intoxicating ant
incompatible as the woman of forty

Is Competition the Life of Trade ?

Competition is the life of trade;"
Composition is the death of trade;"
one phrase is as true as the other. For
all that appears it was toss-up which
of the two should become current as the
expression of general thought. The
public may often say that competition
is the life of trade" while at the same
moment the competing traders or man
ufacturers themselves, behind their
doors, are groaning that competition
is sure to be their death" Competition
is war. 1t may be war to the knife,
fierce and deadly; IT. may he a gentle
manly contest with foils and masks, or
padded gloves At times it is waged at
every point, relentlessly; again it is
confined to single phase of contact;
but, however conducted, in its essence
it is war; and, when carried to its ex.
IRENE conclusion, it means financial
ruin to one or the other of the contest.
