Children from five to ten years of age

ought to be suited both to the Colonial
neriod and to the character assumed.

Women Inventors.

Although women have not figured TO
N the extent men have as inventors,
nevertheless they have given evidence
that they are not without inventive
genips. IL is matter OF history that
the first patent of invention taken out
in paris. which was in 1923, was by
woman named Nine. OUTLET for the
formation of artificial marble. An Eng
lisbwoman began, in lS4O, the
work Of inventing al indestructl-
ble artificial marble, and labor
ed for five years, during which
lime she made more than ten thousand
.experiments. which at last resulted sue

has invented d carriage telephone, a
folding fatiron, musical top, musical
fouptaip. the eyeless needle, and sew
eraI other things now used by surgeons.
The intuitive faculty so universally
conceded TO women is yet likely to give
them prominence in this field, for all
Inventions come out OF the ideal. A.
ready they have respectable repre-
Seutstion in patent annalsfbut there is
mn record OF the number OF suggestions
rbev have made to men who developed
tba same into patents. The limitless

New y DIRK, January 30.-There has
been great deal OF talk, and a great
deal Of sensible talk, lately in regard 10
the peculiar conduct o. the Aston family
towards the dead wife OF William Wal
dorf Aston Usually I do not speak
ABOUT such personal matters. For what
people DO Is entirely their own affair,
and the world at large has 10 business
10 pry inlo what simply concerns pri-
yate individuals The world has no
right was teyer TO decide as TO the right
or wrong OF 4 question that is purely
personal. However, TO New York society
the Astor family has stood as repre-
sentative of all that is best OF the
millionaire set. The women were con-
sidered well bred, and il was thought
whatever Mrs. kstOr did, N gnt be con-
sidered an exam pie, and good one, for
any Young woman. They were never
quoted as encouraging the fast doingS OF
the so-called "howing swels," and it
has been thought, up TO now, that
Mrs. Aston was a credit, not only TO all
women, but TO the country. 1t was
known that the late Mrs. John Jacob
Aston was particularly kind to gentle
women who had suffered reverses OF
fortune, and that she gave, and gave
generously, but in the most unoStenta-
tious way. Her right hand, as repre-
senting her neighbor. never knew what
her left hand did. Which is the cody
way TO be kind and womanly.

However. with two-footedf figures
which car be started in a backward di-
rection at once-such as the grape
vines, the "once back" is unnecessary.
The combined figures, as they ara
called, can scarcely be treated OF in an
article such as the present one, and, in
deed, from their being skated by two,
four, six or eight persons, it is better TO
have personal tuition .and explanation.
To practice the combined figures for
two with a good partner will produce
better results than any descriptions,
however detailed, on paper.

There seems to be little doubt that,
from whatever cause it arises, num-
ber of the trees in the public garden
are either dead or on the way to die,
unless some steps are taken to save
them. Whether it is possible to save
those in the immediate neighborhood
of the subway is doubtful, as it is be-
lieved that the noXious gases arising
from the earth and other substance
dredged out of the subway trench
have killed the trees. The earth has
been placed to n considerable depth
all around the southeastern portion of
the public garden, and its effect was
at once noticeable on the trees. The
foliage commenced to turn brown,
and the trees gave every indication
of being "sick." People have been
wondering why city forester Doogue
had not taken steps to save his
pets, but he has not been idle by
any means. Mr.. Doogue has already
complained to the mayor several
times about the matter, and his
honor has referred the city forest
er's letters to the rapid transit com
missioners for consideration. Mr..
Doogue does not desire to take the
lead in the matter, although he has
pointed out the result of the placing
of the earth on the garden to the ex-
ecutive department. He thinks that
if there were to be expert opinions
sought in the premises his views as to
the evil effect of the noxious gases
and odors on the foliage would be
fully borne out 1t is matter OF
some doubt whether every tree, not
only in the public garden, but also in
the common, will not be affected in
the same way, unless some steps are
taken to save them,
