Charm of Thirty Summers.

A crafty penswoman deliberately
goes out Of her way to Aatter her sis
ters who have reached 80. Gould any
woman who has brushed by her eos
ask for more sugary bit Of COM
fort?
"Give mo clever woman Of 30 and
I will back her any day againsta pref
ty, inexperienced debutante Of 20. 1t
is little feminine ways which appeal
80 irresistably to mans heart.
These ways are the result of careful,
tactful practice, generally speaking,
the result of knowledge of the world
that can only come after one has lived
amongst men and women, after one
has lived and been loved! Oh, the
stupidity Of the average chaperons!
No wonder they sit and watch their
soulless daughters being cast into the
shade by the smart married women or
the finished and desperately attractive,
though still unmarried, siren Of 30."
The woman of 30 will accept this
compliment as debt the world owes
her. The role of charmer is no sine
cure. pray you look not with en-
Wy upon the much-sought-aftcr lads
who in the fairest Of garbs and with
the sunniest of smiles trippingly
makes her way through life.
Hours have been spent learning arts
which give the plain woman Of uncer.
tain age the right to fascinate where
more beautiful women fail to please.
There are charms Of mind which
charms of the body cannot rival,
Neither winsome youth nor beauty
finds much Of show beside suhtleties
Of the soul.
Only after hours of discipline can
one learn to control ones rashness OF
speech, pleased when people are tact
less, learn to excuse the hopelessly
life's centered, selfish individuals
with whom life's roadway is throng-
ed.
Hypocrisy is harsh term. 1t is
applied to the tactics Of the woman Of
the world. This 10 unjust. Besides,
hypocrisy is soon unveiled. Then the
game is lost.
Tact, sympathy, is not hypocrisy.

On that question, in a great measure, de-
ponds his liberty, perhaps his life. The
witnesses for the defense, including the
defendant himself. ali state that on
January 29th and days before his face
was clean shaven.
Bowman Gaines. Ben. Rake and James

the man they saw on the Goth of January,
swear that he had a noustache.
There goes Jim Howard clean shaven
and better dressed than any man in
town Ii he keeps on that way. we will
never be able to prove that he is a fool
According to the testimony to-day. eX-
State Senator Ed. Parker made that re-
mark in London on January 29th, where
he saw Howard on the streets. Parker
explained that the reason he had SAID
this was that Howard was then at Lon
don to appear for trial for the murder
of George Baker, and his plea was 10 De
insanity.
The defense is resting its case on the
a1ibi claimed for Howard. and is not
paying any attention to the claim of the
prosecution that the shot came from the
Secretary of States Office and other col
lateral matters which figured largely IN
the trial Of Caleb Powers.
