The empress OF Austria was in her
sixty-second year at the time of her
death, but all her portraits represent
her as very youthful woman. This
is accounted for by the explanation
that she would have no photographs
taken or portraits painted after her
beauty began to fade. If she had
studied the arts of the modern actress
she might have acquired a make up
that would deceive even camera.

That is the selling of law books. There IS
a boundless field of opportunity for the sex
in this line of work. The multiplicity of
courts, the rapid increase Of business and of
lawsuits, and the everswelling host Of young
lawyers, together afford an excuse for a
vast amount of printing. There are a
dozen or more large publishing houses rum
ming at full force on new law books which
must be sold. Some Of them are indispen-
sable, ard every good lawyer must have
them. But a large proportion are reports
Of the decisions of cases in special lines of
practice, or d.gests Of all manner of obiter
law in every petty court in the land. OF
course the only way to sell this stuff Is to
put travelling statesmen out on the road to
get right at the profession and cram the
books down the lawyers throat. Nearly all
the publishing houses employ handsome,
bright, quick-witted women to do this part
of the work. Some of them are young and
attractive, and do not allow their charms TO
drive away business. Most of them, how
ever, are middle-aged women. who have had
a good deal of experience and know human
