Hospitality.

Hospitality, the real hospitality of the
heart. too often appears not among the
lost but the neglected graces Of woman.
Thousands of dollars are spent in large
cities every week by wealthy hostesses
on decorations. favors, souvenirs and
music for lunches and dinners. This is
carried TO so great an excess that, both
by the wealthy and those of moderate
means. the entertaining of guests is often
looked on with dread rather than with
delight.
However. there are many women who
keep the grace OF true hospitality alive
by inviting their friends because they
want TO see them. and by giving them
n true welcome and the best of their
heart and mind. although they must
place simple fare before them, minus
costly flowers, yards of silk and ribbon
or gold souvenirs.-N. Y. Telegram.

women and Politics.

1.-THE English woman is much better
informed upon the political affairs Of her
country than is the American one" said
a man who spends much time I'm London.
1.-THE difference is very marked" I'm
doubtedly this Is true. Outside of Wash
ington, where the very air exhales poll
tics, few American women seem to know
or care mucI. about the political issues
of the day. 1t Is a significant fact that
in most women's clubs politics. like re-
ligion, is a tabooed question, and thus
a great opportunity for better informa-
ton on the topic is lost. IL is a pity.
Men live through political arguments.

when Women Are Most Beautiful.

The physical beauty Of women should
last until they are past fifty. Nor does
beauty reach its zenith under the age of
thirty-ive or forty. Helen of Troy comes
upon the stage at the age of forty.
Aspasia was thirty-six when married
10 Pericles. and she was a brilliant figure
thirty years thereafter. Cleopatra was
past thirty when she met Antony. Diant
de Poictiers was thirty-six when she
won the heart of Henry II. The king
was half her age, but his devotion never
changed. Anne of Austria was thirty
eight when described as the most beau
tiful woman in Europe. Nine. de Main
tenon was forty-three when united TO
Louis, and Catherine OF Russia thirty
three when she seized the throne she
occupied for thirty-fiVe years. Mile. Mar
was most beautiful at forty-five and
Nine. Recamier between the ages Of
thirty-flve and fifty-fve.
The most lasting and intense passion
is inspired by two decade beauties. The
old saw about sweet sixteen is exploded
By the truer knowledge that the highest
beauty does not mean alone the fashion
of form and coloring as found in the
