VJERY few of us care to have much
v celebration of our birthdays after
childhood passes. A favorite
quotation is that I'VE do not count a
mans years until he has nothing else
| to count" and thus It is that until
| they draw near the century mark
women, especially, are not particularly
desirOus of announcing the fact that
they have n birthday anniversary. All
but one woman; I heard of her the
other day She Is the exception to the
rule. All the others rather naturally
avoid the subject, because they never
can tell what it will produce in the
way of unexpected information. They
have a good precedent, as but one
woman's age is mentioned in the Bible
| and that only for a particular reason
not relative to these remarks. So it
| is probable that from time immemorlal
there was no special attempt made by
| femininity to call attention of the
| public to the flight of years in their
| cases.
But, to return to the subject The
| average woman seldom considers 1t
safe to bring up the matter of age and
| birthdays for discussion. She never
can tell but some old tabby of a friend
in the vicinity will have a mental
| chronological tablet which will show
that MY John and Sarah James Ell

| perhaps, the same week, and the sub
sequent arithmetical calculations men,

especially interesting to the victim.
At any rate, the topic of age and
| birthdays is apt to cause ones friends
| to look at one q trife critically and
take silent note of an added wrinkle,
or gray hair hitherto undiscovered.
But the one woman who is said to
| defy tradition really deserves n para
graph all to herself. They say of her
| that she not only announces the fact
of one birthday, but often several.
| She is Il widow, reasonably young,
| pretty and fascinating. She lives q
| gay sort of life, spending her summers
at fashionable resorts and visiting at
| handsome country places, while her
| winters are passed at house parties in
| various cities. She is a great faVorite
| with women, as well as men, and has
| a vast circle of friends But the world
| is small, ana although my lady's wit
| is very nimble and her places of fit
| ting are often far removed from each
other, yet by some mischance of fate
| 1t happened the other day that two
men from widely different parts of the
globe met and compared notes of mu-
tual acquaintance.
In the course of conversation. my
lady's name was mentioned as being a
friend of both. After a time, one of
| tho men ccSually remarked "Did Mrs
X have a birthday when she was in
San Antonio?" "Why-yes," replied
the other in dazed sort of fashion.
"Why do you ask"

promises only happiness ends In disap-
pointnient aud misery.
This is very true of marriage. The
young wife goes heart and soul into
home making and housekeeping. She
loves to cook and prepare the daintics
her husband enjoys. She is so robust
and hearty that she can hardly find
enough to do to exhaust her abundant
energy. That's the way it begins. Az
ter while she finds that il takes all her
strength to care for her home. Then
household cares begin to overtax her,
and she drops down into a chair many a
time ard gives way TO tears because of
her weakness and misery. The sky so
cloudless on Tie morning of marriage
has soon become overcast.

selves by classifying advice under the
head of "Do" or "Don't." DR.. Pierce's
