A friend whose years are verging on
the half century says that never In
her remembrance have middle-aged
women, as a rule, looked SO well got
up and altogether comely as they do
now. Either from a more rational
method Of treating the hair or be-
cause the present ways of dressing 1t
are favorable to it's growth, the abun-
dance Of gray and white locks is re-
markable; and, although the masses Of

the thickness Of the Enthusiastically nat
ural growth amply justiies the HARM
less addition. Then, too, the increas-
ing independence Of feminine life and
the interest felt by most women in
sensible occupations and subjects,
have swept away forever that absurd
appearance of age without self-reli-
n or freedom which used to dis
tinguish the elderly spinster, entirely
multiplying such attractions as she
might still possess.

Of Lobengula's house nothing but a

FOR PAY.
Are We Making Progress Toward
Equality of Opportunitys

Are We Making Progress Toward
Equality of Opportunity.
Taking the whole number of persons
engaged in all remunerative or gainful
occupations, l find that in 1860 such
persons constituted 26.19 per cent of
the whole population. In 1870 this
percentage had increased to 32.43 in
1880 to BAGS while in 1890 it was 36.31,
an increase of more than 10 per cent,
relatively, in one generation, the per-
iod from 1860 to 1890. This, it should
be borne in mind, is the percentage of
the total number of persons engaged
In gainful occupations of the total
population. If we examine now the
percentage which this total number of
persons engaged in all gainful occu-
pations is of the persons 10 years OF
age and over, which is the truer COM
parison, we find that the increase has
been as regular, but a little greater,
for in 1860 it was 1872 ond in 1890
1875, an increase of owe IL per cent,
relatively, in the thirty years named.
This fact alone, it seems to me, an
swers cOnclusively and definitely the
question we are considering. If the
total number of persons engaged in
gainful occupations stood still relative
to the population, the argument would
not be so clearly carried, but with a
constant and persistent increase in the
relative proportions of this class of
people to the whole number of popula-
ton, and to the whole number 10 years
of age and over, there can be no other
ansWer than an affirmative one.
These figures prove cOncluSively
that we are not only making real pro-
gress toward a greater opportunity,
but toward a greater equality of OPP
portunity, but toward a greater equal
ity, Of opportunity in social and ndur-
erial life; and they completely kill all
arguments made to prove that machin-
ery-the influence of in~ventiOn-diS-
places labor, so far as society as a
whole is concerned. 1t would be alb
surd to argue for a single moment that
the introduction of machinery has not
in many instances displaced individ-
uals and reduced them not only to rela-
tive poverty, but to pauperism. The
answer can not well be made to the
individual, but the facts cited prove
that so far as the whole body of the
people is concerned there is nc such
displacement; and a study of the ex-
pensive influence of machinery and in
vention by the statistical method fur.

There are several fluid compasses In

Henry Irving has just announced
that he is going to have a series of re-
vivals at his London theater of the
fourteen successful plays in his roper
tory. He goes into this wholesale dra-
matte revival, first because his patrons
expect him to do some such thing-to
give in a short space of time a full
and complete presentation of the many
sidedness of his art-and second be-
cause he can, while pleasing and daz-
zling his London clientele, prepare his
repertory for hisAmerican tour neXt
season.
Every stock company that arrives at
the distinction of age and hX1ty IN Il
place has dramatic or comedy achieve
ments to it's credit that it's admirers
like to see repeated. Hence the neces-
sity for and popularity of r%evivals.
Here Augustin DAILY has rarely let a
season pass without reviving some inn
portant triumph of his company. he
has given New York many REVEALS,
mostly, however, ShakeSpearean, be
cause it seems to have been in that sol
emn heXametrical line that the DAILY
players chiefly distinguishes them
selves.
Revivals of modern plays are not so
ommon or so easy of accomplishment
as those that are claSsed as the strict
~ legitimate. An important announce
ment in this respect, though, comes
from Manager Charles Frohman. of
the Empire Theater. whose stock COM

In these times of a Napoleonic raz
when memoirs, books and articles
abound in regard to the Imperial
epoch, and bric-a-brac of those days
are sc much "a la mode" it is curious
to have an evidence that Napoleon
busted himself with small details of
administration, even when he vas in
the midst of n of his greatest cam
paigns. Nj. Leblanc, an old French
resident of New York. has in his pos
session a family relic bearing the sig
nature of Napoleon, and dated from
the Imperial headquarters at Dresden,
June IA, 1913, some time before the
famous Battle of the Nations" at
Leipsic. 1t is a passport granted to
