Shall a Woman Tell Her Age?

One burden falls to the lot of the
single woman which is more keeniy
felt in society than elsewhere. TriT
ial and foolish as it may seem. few
are aware of its extent and reality.
and even the most sensible and sue
cessful wome are sometimes its vic.
tins. Public sentiment, especially
in cities and unprrvincial towns. has
outglown to Il considerable extent
the ungallant habit of considering a
woman responsible for her age. But
there still exist plenty of men and
women who have a ready word of
scorn or reproach for the unmarried
single woman whose youth has
passed.
On account of this sentiment many
women are sensitive, and not with
out reason, to inquiries about age.
They refrain from illusions which
might lead to the discovery of a Sc
cret only because the curious and
rude make such age a matter OF ridi
Guile. The only remedy for this dis
comfort is in the cultivation of a diff,
ferent public sentiment. Helen NJ.

YAwniDg Is HealthfQl.

It will be a great consolation to
those who would rather mortify the
flesh than be guilty of violating the
laws of polite society that yawnlng
can be INDUCED in under certain con-
ditions, not only without compunc-
ton. but with actual benefit. No
less an authority than Dr.. Naegeli
says that it acts like massage, and is
the most natural gymnastics Of the
lungs imaginable. He therefore all
vises people to occasionally hold in
allegiance their conventional preju-
dice. and if they cannot indulge every
morning in what he considers the
luxury of yawning, they are to do =.
as often as possible, and all the mus
cles Of respiration will be benefited
by the stretching. and many chronic
lung troubles may thus he prevented.
