Thorn, tell upon her physique; She sees
the waning Of her power, and the APP
proaches OF that winter OF discomfort,

Spurred with sense OF haste, by
some unhappy slight she perhaps un-
adyisedly marries man whom ten
years previously would not have ventur-

They will admire her loneliness. sun
themselves in her smiles, and catch
little ephemeral pleasure and glory Ia
her favors; but they will not marry her.
And the reason, though not very evil
dent to q thoughtless girl. Is at least a
very real and powerful one. II is. be-
case such a girl, ngrer touches item on
their best side; and never reveals in her
self that womany nature, which man
knows nstinctiyely is the foundation OF
wifely value:-that nature which ex-
presses itself IN service for Loves sake
as very necessity Of It's being.
On the contrary. a "Favorlte" leans
all TO one side, and that side is herself.
She is overbearing and exactIng 10 the
most trivial matters of outward homage.
She will be served on the Bonded knee,
and her service Is hard and ungratefni

homage-men may be compelled 10

Bnt thls belief has now been cruelty
dlspered by the ungallant disclosure
made by the officials who have complied
the report Of the census OF 1891.
ALI, BETWEEN TWENTY AND TWENTY
FIVE YEARS.
Having put two and two together, or
in other words compared the number
of women set down in the census as be-
tween twenty and twenty-five years OF
ara with the number OF girls returned
in the previous census as between ten
and fifteen, aud allowing, moreover, for
a certain proportion OF deaths, they
have discovered that there were actual
Nv more women OF twenty-five in Eng
land In 1891 than there were girls Of If
tsen in 1881 or course there is no de-
pyiug that some OF Us have been found
ont. but happily the burden OF revela-
ton has to be borne by the sex collec-
lively. The individual rOmancists are
still shielded from detection.
The question now arises, Is IL any
longer worth a wOman'S while 10 be in
accurate about her age? Does she not
rather lose nowadays By lessenlng the
number Of her years? Assuming that
her object hitherto In setting back the
hand OF time has been TO render herself
more attractive in the eyes Of the oppo-
site sex, II must be obvious 70 the close
observers OF the men and manners Of

"bashful fifteen" nor the girl OF sweet
twenty who finds favor in the sight

The position Of Favorite is no easy
one. She has TO cultivate many quail
ties which should be put TO better use
and bring her more satisfactory results.
She must have discrimination enough

grand serieur, her reputation as safe
favorite would be seriously endangered.
In her flirtations she must never per-
NIT herself to show whether sne be hit

must avoid every circumstance which
would allow feminine rival an oppor-

After a marriage has taken place or

COOPERATIVE COOKING.

The Junction City Cooperative Cook
ing Club on January 4 entered upon its
fourth year. 1t is in good condition
financially, having always been carried
on upon cash basis. Its membership
is full, and the machinery is said to run
easier than ever before, experience
having taught the Executive Committee
how to avoid various stumbling blocks.
The society was formed because OF an
ever increasing difficulty OF securing
sufficient competent household help.
There are at present thirteen families
and a few individuals connected with
the club, making in all forty members;
average present, thirty-fve. Ten Of
these families have belonged from the
beginning, all are OF the highest social
standing and have homes Of their own,
with the usual kitchen addenda.
