THE ZENITH
OF WOMAN'S
BEAUTY.

This question is discussed I'm an Eng
lish journal by a writer who maintains
that "the fullness Of beauty does not
reach its zenith under the age OF 30 or
40 This claim is disputed by another
writer, who cites the opinion Of women
themselves as shown by the undOubted
fact that any woman who Graves ad-
miration on the score of her personal
appearance would be vastly more
pleased were her age to be guessed as
being 80 rather than 40."
This is a very wide and delicate ques-
tion. Much depends upon the race and
not little upon the woman. In some
southern lands women are either wrin-
kled and shriveled or fat and shapeless
grandmothers before they reach the age
mentioned. I'm England and i'm this
country IL often happens that the full
ness OF beauty" In woman does not
reach its zenith under tho age of 30 or
40"

The great charm OF a quiet outing is
that you can get off by yourself and
think over some OF the questions that
once i'm a while do trouble you with
the blue sky above YOU, the green trees
about you and the noise of the city not
so many miles from you, so many
things look different.
During the summer there have been
weddings and weddings and weddings
But Notwithstanding the great num-
ber of marriages the society mother is
complaining that men do not marry.
Why? Honestly, suppose men and
women are no better or worse than they
used 10 be. There are quite as many in
number. and they are, in way. just
as willing TO enter into the holy bonds
OF matrimony. But man has learned
10 be comfortable without woman ana
occasionally. more than occasionally
TOO often. he is so admirably arranged
that he prefers TO admire women from
a distance and TO live in his own para
dise-a paradise without an Eve and
even minus a servant.
This conviction has come 20 me from
having been the guest at innumerable
bachelor dinners given by proud hosts
10 their women friends and in their own
establishments What man few years
ago thought OF keeping up a place for
himself-that is. comfortable place
But now the bachelor can without any

ATTRACTIONS FOR THIS WEEK.
The Extravaganza 1892 and Han
croft, the Magician, to De Here.

| The operate extravaganza, "liZ,
| which is to be presented at the Academy
on Tuesday night, is an entertaining
combination OF catchy music. bright dia
logue, handsome scenery and costumes
and elaborate electrical and mechanical
effects. The first act abounds in music
and song, the second in clever specalties
and scenes showing the landing OF Column
bus in Madison Square, in New York.
The company is large one. nearly
seventy people being employed, and In
cludes number OF clever comedians
and vocalists. Stuart the male Patti, -
and Zelma Rawlston, handsome young
burlesque, head the organization. which
also. includes Master Thomas Meade. the
phenomenal boy tenor; the Herald Square
quartette. John N. w. Byrne. Frank
Gardiner, Marie Godoy. Connie Thomp-
son, Sara Maclaren, Arthur seaton. and
others. The special features are the

Bancroft undisputed title to the SUI
premacy in magic and legerdemain, al
though he was always considered as great
as Hermann. His style Of work is new,
his novelties many. and his skill Is
acknowledged by all to be beyond the de-
lection Of the keenest eye, and elusive TO
the shrewdest intellect. Bancrofts am
bilious methods have caused him to travel
half the world In search Of material upon
which to build new tricks, new Ideas,
and novel effects that had never been in
troduced. and how he succeeded Is best
indicated by the excellence of his enter
talnments and the cordial reception given
him In all the cities. In no other de-
partment Of the mimic world have such
elaborate stage accessories been intro
duced.
Bancroft Is In many ways an ideal
observation-disclosures slender, agile, and
graceful-and his tricks have a finish to
them that makes them doubly enjoy
able. He is also capable of entertaining
his spectators in fascinating manner,
which is no small art in itself.

RAILROAD EARNINGS.
30 5-su, Tu&F3m

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. A, 1897.
AS predicted by us, Railroad
Earnings have for some time
shown steady increases. Each
week brings larger gains.
1t Is we'll to bear in mind that
from August j. 1896, until the
! presidential election business
grew more and moro demoralized.
and Railroad Earnings fell of
gradually.
To-day the financial atmosphere
is singularly free from clouds.
Wheat exports for the week are
almost without parallel. Tonnage
Is enormous; the roads are
pressed to handle their business.
Heavy orders for new cars are be-
ing placed.
Earnings, gross and net, pro-
mise to surpass the most sanguine
expectations.
London bought stocks to-day.
In the face of increased earnings
and probable increased dividends for
elgn spectators will find 1t impossi-
BILE to resist the temptation to buy
American securities.
TO oyertrade Is dangerous. Our cur
rency question is not settled but for
manifold reasons prosperity has come
to stay, and good securities will even-
tually sell higher.
