So instead of the old shoe flung after

means that they have lost their liberty:
"A quaint old writer has said that sew

a little profane, even in this iconoclastic
age, yet nobody can bubble at the truth
Of the saying, for surely needlework was
first cxemplitied in that robe of fig leaves
Worn by Our common mother in the gar
den after the fall.
1t is said that in times gone by the
Puritan danes kept this robe ever in
remembrance by wearing green aprons
in token of their original sinful progen-
itor.
1t is to be doubted if women who are
obliged to spend their lives in working
with the needle, or it's modern suhsti-
tute, the sewing machine, ever think of
this effect Of the primal curse. Surely
the adoption of garments by the first

she can view her birthdays with the
resignation that comes of having accept

no woman has ding business to look
Younger than she was, or to try to eff

1t is safe to say that this view OF the
subject will be accepted by hopeless
minority Of the sisterhood. Very few
women care to retain historic wrinkles,
no matter how interesting to the student
Of character they may be, and in spite Of
this optimistic way Of looking at APP
preaching aye the sale of rejuvenators
and wrinkle erasers will go steadily on.
Youth means so much to woman. it
is no wonder she holds to it with desper-
ate determination as long as she can.
and, perhaps, of all the blessings that
the present era have brought her there
is none for which she is more truly CRATE
full than the frightening span Of youth
it gives her. Our grardmothers were
only begun to live. They were thought

married an official of the Dutch East In
dies. He divorced her on account of Il
love affair with Sir Philip Francis, who
is supposed to have written the so ia
nous letter OF Junius. The lady came
back to her native France and married
Talleyrand. the astutcst and most bril-

As his wife she one day entertained at
dinner her ex-husband, her ex-lover. the
lawyer who defended her, the lawyer
who prosecuted her and the judge who
pronounced the decree of divorce.

desirable in their fresh youth. Others
are Of slow growth, and only reach their
meridian of attractiveness when heart
and brain have had time to expand and
bud and blossom under the. slow summer
suns. 1t is to these women not forced
into Il premature development that the
lengthening span of youth accorded
women now means most. In other days
they would have been labeled "old
maids and thrust upon the back shelves
of society. Now even at 10 no one looks
at them as Il relic in which only an an
tiGuarian would be interested. With the
vanishing Of the term old maid. the old
maid herself has withdrawn into the
limbo of departed spirits, and the places
that knew her know her no more.
There are many reasons why women's
youth should last longer than it used to.
They have learned better how to care for
themselves. for one thing. Health, aud
not invalidism. is the cult now, and most
women would resent being considered
"dclicate'' as Il reflection, though to our
grandmothers it seems to have implied Il
certain sentility. For another thing, the
tantly-broadening outlook that is
given women keeps the mind alert and
active. The starved mind of the woman
who never reads or thinks is old and de-
crepit in its early 2Os. The vigorous
mind of the woman of 20 is still 20 years
young. There is no age to it, and she
who keeps her sympathies alive and her
interest fresh may make her whole life a
tantly-lengthening span of youth
