The Plain, Unvar1ished Speech of

The plainness Of speech and lack Of
shams which are the characteristics
Of up to date" people show themselves
in variety Of ways. The most con-
spicuous form which they take is the
entire frankness that relatives adopt in
speaking of the black sheep Of the
family.
"My brothers are not at all satisfac-
tory, you know" remarked a girl Of
the period, with embarrassing candor,
recently to a woman to whom she had
just been introduced. Harry, the
eldest, drinks like fish. and Jim, the
other one, has failed in every examina-
ton that he has ever attempted"
"Come and see me!' exclaimed an
other end of the century maiden. 1--WE
are so beastly poor now that we have
taken a house in the slums for the
winter. l hope you will not give me

By her merry adaptation Of herself
to circumstances she kept her place in
her social world in spite Of the fami-
ly's reverses. Such freedom from
embarrassment about pecuniary mat
ters would have been most unusual
formerly. 1t has been said that age is
topic that either evokes shame or
pride. With the modern woman. how.
ever. it does neither She simply feels
no greater sensitiveness on the sub
ject than a man would similarly sit
uated. She has no more reticence
about her years than she has about
any other subject connected with her
personality. and that is to say none
at all. She feels unmitigated scorn for
any old fashioned contemporary who
shrouds the fact in mystery.
The tradition that if one does not
wish to marry one must become what
used to be known as an old maid is
now quite obsolete. A woman in her
thirties, whether married or single. IS
at her prime. and no one knows it bet
ter than she does. Her age Is a dis
tinct gain, not loss; an asset. not a
deficit. She Is quite conscious of the
advantage and is, on the whole. rather

The general tendency of people is
not to drink water enough Pure
water itself never can be unwhole-
some, unless it is taken at too low a
temperature when food is eaten.
The reason for this is that diges-
ton stops until the cold water in the
system is brought up to the proper
temperature. In The Chautauquan

quantity of drinking water is fire.

about six tumblerfuls, should be

for the oil OF course the supply Of
whalebone decreased with the sup
ply of oil, but the price did not, nor
did the demand There are still
some uses for which whalebone is
considered most desirable, and with
constant demand and decreasing
supply the price of whalebone
steadily advanced as it has contin-
ued to do. Whalebone soon became
too costly to permit of its further
use for umbrella spreaders. and sub
stitutes for it were sought for this
use, as there were for other uses in
which whalebone had been employ
ed. Steel was the substitute gener-
ally used in umbrella stretchers, at
first slender, round, tempered steel
rod. With these slender bows the
umbrella could be more snugly roll
ed, and the old baggy umbrella be-
gan to disappear and the modern
tight roller to take its place.
Then came the umbrella bows of
light steel rolled in V shape, and
then, in the quest for a still tighter
rolled umbrella, handles were made
of metal The first tubing handles
were made of brass. Steel would
have been cheaper, but there had
been discovered no satisfactory
method of brazing ste tubes such
as are used in umbrella handles.
There is such a method now, how
ever, and umbrella handles of steel
tubing are now made in great num-
bers.
And nowadays many spreaders are
made of steel, rolled channel shaped.
In cross section this spreader is
shaped something like capital let
ter E without a tongue, and the ribs
of the umbrella-the steel rods that
run from the sliding ferrule, or run
ner, as it is called, on the handle of
the umbrella, by means of which
the umbrella is spread-are so at
tached and adjusted to the spreaders
that they shut into the channels
when the umbrella is closed. New

UMBRELLA EVOLUTION.

From the Old Time whalebone spreader
to the Bow Channel Steel.
Forty years or SO ago umbrellas
were made with stretchers or bows
of whalebone. These bows were
rather bulky in themselves, and
they were apt to get little perma-
nent bend from long use, so that
they bulged when the umbrella was
rolled up, making the big, baggy
umbrella familiar to middle aged
and older people and occasionally
still seen, though on the stage often
er than in real life.
With the introduction of petro-
leum oil into general use as an IL
Eliminating oil and the consequent
very general abandonment of the
use Of whale oil came the decline Of
the whaling industry. Fewer and
fewer vessels went after whales, be-
cause there was less and less demand

AS long ago as 1924 the fountain
pens were in use, for in that year
Thomas Jefferson saw a contriyance
of this sort tried it and wrote to
General Bernard Peyton of Rich
mond, asking him to get one of
them. The pen was of gold and the
ink tube of silver, and, according to
Jefferson's letter, the maker was

Cowan. The price, he understood,
was fivepence. The first American
