Lillian Bell discusses 1.-THE Philosophy
of Clothes most interestingly in Aprll
Ladies' Home Journal. She declares that

When a man praises your clothes ne is
always praising you in them. You never
will hear a man praise even the ,gooa
dressing of a woman whom he dislikes.
But girls who positively hate another
girl often will add. But she certainly does
know how to dress.
And so the experienced woman wears
her expensive clothes for other women
and produces her effects for men. She
wears scarlet on a cold or raw day. ana

between the two ladies then ensued, at
the end of which Princess Louise declared
that if she might not bicycle neither
would she dance, and she actually kept
her resolution to the extent of staying
away from several state balls. Her re-
cent temperance at the last one, radiant
as ever and dancing merrily, has made
Dresden society wonder If her royal high
ness has not, as usual, managed to get her
own way and ride her machine IN triumph.
This same pretty princess is wonderfully
popular in Dresden, where she and her
husband are to be constantly seen walk
ing riding or driving together, with less
ostentation than many of her subjects.
1t is related that one of Princess Louise's
numerous shopping expeditions she foune
on returning to her brougham that it was
surrounded by a loyal crowd, struggling
to get a glimpse of the two pretty princes
seated inside. A way was Immediately

A woman SO years of age, says the New
York Ledger, is the secretary of wo-
mans club in Lansing, Mich. She is
relative of William Cullen Bryant, and one
of the most charming of companions.
She is fond Of society, keeps well up with
the time, is sprightly, accurate, dainty
and every way admirable.
There are many reasons why women
grow old. The tendency to slump is one
of the first indications of approaching
years. This is a fatal error, and unless
broken up at the outset ruins the figure,
the style and the habits of the individual.
The prim, trim, natty and up-to-date
elderly woman is scarce indeed. If she
is not Anticipated and stuffy, she is likely
to be frivolous and giddy, and when wo-
thing she can do is to make her Will and
die suddenly. Age need not be glum or
too sober, but it should always keep its
dignity and remember that childish man.
ners are but an exceedingly poor veneer
to cover the inroads of time.
There are many instances where wo-
men of seventy or eighty years have been
the queens of society and the centers of
attraction wherever they appeared: but
it is perfectly safe to say that these were
not the giddy, butterfly, huttering women
who monopolize all of the time and seem
to absorb all of the air in the apartment.
They have, without exception, been gentle
ouiet dignified, good-hearted and clear
headed women who wore their years so
gracefully that no one thought of how
many decades they represented.
The secret of becoming old age is to ac-
cent the situation and attract to it as lit
lie attention as possible. There is no need
Of people sixty or seventy to act or feel
old. With reasonable care for their health
and a determination to make the best of
everything, the days slip by so easily
that they leave but few marks behind
them.
