pu NOT GROW OLD.

Hints to Ladies Whose Years May Soon
 Become Burden.
 In Paris elderly ladies are now wear ing almost exclusively velvet dresses, trimmed with costly lace. disposed in basques, collars and sleeve sabots or frills, says the New York Tribune. This combination is extremely becora= ing and stately
 woman is never old enough to neglect her appearance. Nothing can be more disagreeable to the sight than a negligee old lady.
 Unfortunately, one often sees one with the hair dragged in the most un- compromising fashion away from the face, brushed close to ahe head and fastened under the cap in little knot about the size of q walnut at the back, no further attempt at any arrange ment of the coiffure being made; and this carelessness results in a dreadfully bald appearance, as the spaces between hair and ears and hair and neck are thereby rendered conspicuously prou;i nent.
 Moreover, many dear old danes fail to realize that at their time of life the neck should be as little exposed as pos sible, for it is only too frequently brown and wrinlxled. It would be easy to dispose a little lace about it in order to conceal the seraggy neck revealed with too serupulous honesty.
 It may be added that women over forty should carefully avoid becoming too stout, misfortune brought about generally by se1f-indulgence in the pleasures of the table, in afternoon maps, and in lazy neglect of daily ex- ercise.
 Avoid candies. Never eat pastry or buttered toast. Prefer biscuits or dry toast to bread whenever possible.
 Drink as little as possible. Accus- tom yourself to taking tea or coffee without sugar. Never touch jam, and if you cannot do without butter spread it as sparingly as possible.
 Lemonade, if made from fresh lem ons, is good for the health, and tends to reduce flesh.
 Growing old is always, of course, 8 little tragic, especially if woman re- main young and fresh in mind. But she need not grow fat, coarse and ruddy as well as old.

PIN MONEY POINTERS.
How Woman May Acquire methodical
 Business Habits.

How Woman May Acquire methodicat
 Business Habits.
 Whether woman is poor or rich it behooves her to acquire methodical business habits, keeping her little ac- counts accurately, and knowing to a cent just what she does with her money An allowance is the first step toward this end, if at the same time it is impressed upon her that every sum spent should be set down with unfail- ing regularity.
 In black and white one notes how much more easily the money can be spent, how quickly it goes, and just what foolish little nothings have lured it from our pockets. Without setting down each item, it is ten chances to one that you will conclude you have lost some money, when you cannot see how that ten-dollar bill went, when you only bought such very few things.
 The neat little figures are genuine restraint, besides installing a habit and system that will be of great value if fortune smiles, and great estate comes to your hands, and still greater II economy Is necessity and the dol lar has to be forced into doing duty for two.
 Unless the accounts are kept accu- rately and cash made to balance every evening, you had better not attempt any bookkeeping at all, for slipshod methods are worse than none, andsonly confuse everything rather than help matters.
 If anything is worth doing at all, 1t Is worth doing well, and there is noth- ing so productive of future good as the habit of looking carefully out for the pennies when school-days are the only trials, and the allowance of fifty cents week goes for candies and pickles. If this is once established in child hood, the girl will grow to womanhood with clear knowledge of where her money goes and what she has to show for it.

Birdie Your Tongues. Girls,

It is pity that girls who are dis posed to be witty at the expense of others do not know how unattractive they make themselves. and how often they offend against good taste. A smart girl sometimes says unLind and untrue things about her comrades, and thinks it all right when those to whom she says them laugh Ut them. Don't be deceived, girls. Two or three sharp and uncharitable speeches may warn your best conqucsts off Il premises of your heart, though that heart may be kind and true and loyal. and, put upon its mettle, would disown the acrid ut terances of that thoughtless little tongue of yours. Cutting speeches do not pay in the end. They cause laugh, perhaps, but leave .. bitter mem ory. And they are not always true. Don't be funny at the expense of truth, of charity, of good breeding.
