Some Very Old Ladies'

1t is an acknowledged fact that woman
more often attain very great age than
men, Among women, one of the most
famous centenarians was the Countess of
Desmond, who died in the reign of James
l from the effects of an accident. Her re-
ruted age was 145 years. This wonderful
old lady at the age of 100 years was so
lively and well that she actually took part
in dance; and only five years before her
death she Travelled from Bristol to Lon
don-a tremendous journey in those davs
in order to personally attend to some
business matters
Lady Desmond's fame as a centenarian
sinks into nothing compared to that of a
Frenchwoman of the name of Marie
Prion, who died in ST. Colombo at the
age of $50 years. Toward the end of her
life she subsisted entirely on goats milk
and cheese, and, although her body was
so shrunk and wasted mat she weighed
onl forty-six pounds, she retained her
mental faculties to the last
1t is curious fact but some women
have been known to enter a second youth
when most of their fellows die-hair and
teeth come back, and sight and hearing
once more become sharp and quick A
certain marquise de Mirabeau is an ex-
ample of this. She died at eighty-sx,
but some years before her demise her
whole appearance changed so that she
looked certainly not more than thirty.

ing the broader kind of worsted work.
The measurement of the waist for
whom the belt is intended must first be
taken. Then a zone is cut of the dimen
sions out of canvas. such as Is generally
used for filing in slippers in cross-stftch.
Usually the zone is fashioned with point
at the top and bottom of the front only.
although there is also a fancy for max
ing two points at the top TO one at the
bottom of the belt. 1t is cut TO lap lit
tie and fastens at the side. After the
belt is properly shaped and cut, 1t is
stamped crosswise with parallel lines, not
quite half an inch apart A heavy Ro-
man silk IS then taken and long stitches
are made from one of the lines to the one
opposite working at right angles 10 the
stamping and so that the canvas is well

BIRDING.
My Lady's Newest and Most Fasci-
mating Outdoor Diversion.

The birds this Summer are being Ia
yored with an unusual amount of atten-
ton. At the extremely fashionable sum-
mer places, Newport, Lenox, and Bar
Harbor, bird classes have been formed
and the absorbing topic of conversation
is birding"
at is so interesting said gay girl
that knew the country simply as place
that held a big Summer hotel, Ito find
out that bird songs are varied and fas-
cinating as the themes of an opera"
Glasses have usually from six to eight
members, and go birding under the guild
ance of a professional ornithologist. The
start is made in the morning between
and O'Clock, for at this time the birds
are especially lively, shouting forth their
morning mathis and flying from bough to
bough in search of food and drink to re'
fresh themselves after the nights re-
pose.
The girls form a strikingly pretty pic
ture when they gather together at this
early hour 1t would seem as though
the birds themselves had whispered TO
them about the fitness of their gowns, as
each one appears in dark, wollen golf
skirt, and high, laced, leather boots that
are proof against briers, the hillside dew
and the swamps, where many of the
choicest birds are to be sought. They
cts, as the mornings are cool and damp
From their belts hang neat notebooks
and pencils to jot down observations, and
each girl is armed with pair of strong
| field glasses. This is also the time par
| excellence, for those that possess them to
wear bracelets or belts that encase small
watches. No particular style of hat is
| worn, but they should not be conspic-
| uous.
'fA6ter an one girl exclaimed cit is
not so difficult to get up early. 1t re-
! quireS courage TO put the first foot out
| of bed, but after that is accomplished
no difference in time is remembered and
the morning is heavenly
| Once started, the first principle of a
class studying birds is not to talk and to
move with as cat-like tread as possible
| Songsters are very shy, and at the ap-
proach of one trying to scan them closely
viii often hide themselves for hours uf-
der leaves and grasses. Many birds are
| also credited with the power to see as far
| as 100 miles, and their hearing is most
acute. The ability to sit immovably is
! also essential to a bird student. When

| AMI wait for the bird to show himstlf,
| that in future mis- appearance may be
connected with his song, which has per-

| DetractorS to these classes have waxed
| unusually witty on the subject of the
| girls not talking and sitting quietly for
| hours. But here, again, is an Illustration
| of the complex character of the Summer
girl. She becomes as great an enthu-

denser portions. Swamps brooks, and
running streams are also ideal places to
seek them, and one soon learns TO expect
certain varieties of birds in certain To-
calities.
1t was known by an amateur ornitholo-
gist that a red-eyed Oriole had a nest in
a tree by the edge of a wood, as at this
spot she was always attracted by his
incessant chatter OF all the birds he is
the greatest gibberer. In Germany they
call him the preacher. because they claim
he says distinctly, You must do IL. Can't
you see IT? Don't you. think it?" There
fore she esconced herself for three sue
cessive mornings within range of his
voice, and watched in vain for an oppor-
tunity to level her glass upon him. AT
last in despair she sought the foot of the
tree which formerly had been hidden
by fence To her amaZement she saw
sitting on the ground with placid patience
and looking up the tree a huge gray cat,
that had evidently been as untiring in
his desire TO see the Yed-eyed oriole as she
herself had been.
Star students in the birding classes are
those able to initiate most cleverly a

attract both song sparrows and warb-
lers. The girls say they practice by kiss
