She IL Not So Much in Evidence A. sho
Used to BE.

A picturesque figure is passing out OF
society, if she has not already passed.
We seldom, in the drawing-room, meet
the old lady. At this moment she is to
be found chiefly in villages remote
from the railway, or, if in town, she is
apt to belong to the distinctly poorer
classes, and TO be engaged in some
humble occupation, as, for example,
the keeping OF an apple stand, or the
selling of newspapers around the fer
ries or elevated stations. Thus en-
gagged, she wears distinctive dress,
almost a uniform 1t consists of q
gown of some very dark or neutral
tint, with straight full skirt ending
at her ankles, round waist, no drapery
or pulled sleeves, but severely plain
and rather short ones, leaving the
wrist free; little three-cornered
shawl covers the shoulders-always
that-and a hood or bonnet protecting
the gray hair.
These old women are frankly old.
They seem to have lived hundred
years, and never TO have been young.
Their old faces are crisscrossed like
maps with innumerable hne lines: they
bear themselves with a certain patience
and dignity.
But they are not in society. They
are part of the world outside, which
does not exist for the sheltered and
guarded and well-to-do They are like
the peasants in French pictures. as
straightforward, as childlike, as limo
cent, as calmly Indifferent to fashion.
What have they to dowith it-what
has il to do with them?
In the strenuous struggle to retain
youth. or the semblance of it, which is
the foible and weakness of our period.
the old lady has difficult time of it
just now. The masseuse labors to
efface her wrinkles, those time-reveal-
ing marks, which. bravely worn, have
beauty of their own. She tries
creams and unguents,, hct water and
cold water. galvanism and steam, that
her skin may remain as soft, as rose
hued. as flexible as il was at twenty
In this there is no harm. but, did she
only know it, there are placid old faces
among the Friends and among the
Shakers, too. which have kept OF
wrinkles and retained shape and
smoothness solely BY the spirits in
ward light, and peace and help.-Har-
per's Bazaar.

armed with a valise fun OF statistics.
