AGES AMD MARRIAGE.
Can There lie Happiness When the
Wife Is the Older:


The prevailing epidemic Of marriage
among women older than the men
whose names they take was produc-
tive Of a decided discussion at the din
ner-table, says the Philadelphia Times.
Certainly, three such clever and beau
tiful women as Patti, Langtry and
Lady Randolph Churchill are examples
in favor of such matrimonial selection,
but whether the hR1pdrum courtship
of everyday life endsb,ore happily in
such an arrangement of years Is a
question. One lady, whose intellectual
acumen is unassailable, declared
strongly in favor of such alliances,
quoting many instances in her W
acquaintance where the wife was older
than the husband, and where such a
union resulted in the greatest mutual
happiness. Il believe" she said, that
when a man marries a woman older
than himself he finds in her the truest
sort of counselor, and a real compan-
ion, who spurs his ambition without
retarding his efforts by her desire for
over-much petting. Such a wife real
ICES that the baby act on her part is
foolish and therefore refrains from in
dulging in that clinging dependence
that in a young wife is ~pardonable.
but which generally pals after awhile.
A difference of five or six years Is
scarcely a difference at all, and even
when twenty or more years loom be-
tween the husbands n the wife's
age, the latter being the elder, I see
DO reason Why the marriage should
not be a thoroughly c%ongenial and
happy one-infnitely more certain to
be SO than If the wife were twenty
years younger than the husband
This was one argument. The other
side Of the question was taken by a
young married woman, who is but five
years the junior Of her husband.
"Such marriages mean misery gener-
ally to both, but always to the wife
A woman grows older SO much faster
than a man that though, at the time
Of the wedding they may not look mis-
mated. or feel so, either, but a few
short years must elapse before the
husband finds that his tastes and in
clinations are absolutely youthful. in
comparison with his wife's, and that
she is an old woman while yet he is a
young man. A oma OF so and a
man Of 80 do not seem so unequally
matched, but let ten years more be
added and the nan Of 40 is only a boy
in comparison to the woman OF 60.
Not that the disparity of actual years
is any greater. but he is only in his
prime. while she has passed that bor-
der line that marks the division be-
tween middle and old age"

The Earring Again Becoming Popular.

Earrings are coming in again. n
while fashions slaves are merely pro-
testing that they will not wear the
barbarous things, they will undoubted-
ly submit in the end. The edict has
gone forth that earrings are to be
worn again. and the jewelers. are pre-
pared for an immediate demand for
that article of jewelry. which was rele-
gated 10 oblivion ten years ago. One
drawback to the revival is that nine
out OF every ten women will need to
have their ears pierced again, and cv-
cry woman has an acute remembrance
Of that painful ordeal in the past.
When or mothers were young 1t was
the custom to pierce the ears by put
ting a cork behind them. stretching the
lobe Of the ear tight over the cork. and
then piercing with a needle, afterward
drawing a sllken thread and a gold
ring, made especially for the purpose.
through the hole. Pearl or diamond
screw rings will hold their own for a
long time in woman's favor. but there
are some new and startling fancies
shown in the way Of earrings in the
jewelry shops.

in troubling himself so much about us
and our concerns"
Lady Howard spoke fcellngly. Mo-
body could have ever taken the reins
of government more unwillingly into
her own hands than her ladyship had
done upon the death Of her husband
three years before, when she had been
left a rich but somewhat helpless
widow, with n large estate and three
growing children. In the years OF her
married life everything had devolved
upon Sir Wilfred; and. though. as time
to her sense of perfect Independence.
and had actually consented to an addi-
tional care in the shape Of the guard
ianship of her niece. her brothers
child. she was still only too thankful
il any one would relieve her a little OF
the weight Of the responsibilities which
hung so heavily upon her shoulders.
Consequently Gilbert Falkland,
whom they had CHANGED to meet upon
the continent for the first time only
4 month before, but who had intro
duced himself as one Of the late Sir
Wilfred's oldest friends. had found his
attentions thoroughly acceptable to the
widow; and, as 1t happened that he
had been going by the same route as
Lady Howard and her niece, he had
constituted himself courier and guide.
and had taken upon his own shoulders
all the troubles and worries insepa-
rable from continental travelling.
At home in England once more, for
tune had thrown Mr.. Falkland across
their path again, and Lady Howard
was only too pleased Il he would still
do anything for her. even II it were
merely to arrange a drive or decide
which Of the pieces at the theaters was
really worth seeing.
But Evelyn scarcely heard the sigh
Of conteptment which had followed
MI. Falkland's departure. Her thoughts
were running in quite another direc-
ton; for, In spite of the nonchalance
with which she had laughed away Gill
bert Falkland's observations upon the
encounter with the man in the hall.
MIS- words had carried more weight
ina he had had the satisfaction Of
imagining.

Why Purple Became tho Imperial Color
Purple became the imperial color be-
cause of its enormous cost and rarity.
The only purple known to the a~ncients
vas the Tyrian purple, which was OBJ
tanned in minute quantities only from
a Mediterranean species Of shell fish,
called the mureA. in the time OF Clce-
70, wool, double dyed with this color,
was so excessively dear that a single
pound weight cost a thousand denarii,
or about thirty-flvc pounds sterling. A
single mureX only yielded a little drop
Of the secretion. consequently very
large numbers had to be taken in order
to obtain enough to dye even a rory
small amount of wool. Amongst moro
than ono OF the nations of antiquity 1t
was death for any person but the SOW
ereign or supreme judges to wear gar
ments dyed with Tyrian purple. Upon
the accession of julius Caesar a law
was passed f%orbidding any private per-
son to wear it,

Clever Idea.

1t has been 4 mystery and a conun-
drum to the average mar for some
little time how women did without

aforesaid mar why ONE did not lose

handkerchiefs than they did, for it was
a marvel to them how the women man
aged handkerchiefs, pocketbooks and
bundles, held up their skirts, carried
oftentimes an umbrella. and only had
the one pair of hands for this rather
complicated performance. For some
time past the women have cndeavored
to solve the problem of doing more
than n thing at a time, and have
utilized their pocketbooks for the pur-
pose of carrying their handllerchiefs.

with the last compartment open at Il
end to admit of the handkerchief or
the gloves or both being slipped in

and wrinkling the handkerchief so that
it is mussy looking. AS the sides of

the innovation with delight. These

can be bought at a price to suit n
