ABOUT WOMEN GROWING OLD
May Look Charming While cIinging to
Remnant OF Youth.

h-mllAut OF lOuLu.
A writer on feminine subjects has
been kindly advising women how to
grow, not old, but middle-aged? The
married woman takes up with her
changed position in the world a self
assurance, an Importance that in them
selves mark the quitting of the follies
of youth. The spinster who does not
grow middle-aged-naturally well will
not be likely to let herself be taught
the process l fancy. 1t is quite pos
sible, too, for a woman to cling so OBJ
viously and innocently to her remnant
of youth that the very weakness makes
her charming. At worst, trying to be
young is a sign of a desire to please.
Was there not something pathetically
lovable about Norma Brigida, in
"Romola," when, her soul touched by a
call to higher hopes, she parted with
her little false Time-contradictOrs, the
rouge, braids, and embroidered red
velvet beretta'? Though Romola as
sured her she looked better less adorn-
ed, is not our sympathy with her as
she cries out, What an old scare
crow l am? When sorrow drives the
youthfulness out of our hearts we
grow ~middle-aged quite easily; the
dear %trivialities of life are precious no
longer, so we let them pass away I'M
regretted, but when a woman is still
basking in the sunshine Of love, plenty
and peace 1, for one, would have her
be young, look as young as possible,
wear young" clothes even, dimple
when she smiles, blush at compliments
and get excited over buying new dain-
ties OF headgear. The youthfulness
that isn't mere imitation is never I'M
suitable, not wen to a g~reat-great-
grandmother.

POINTER FOR JOHNSON.


President Johnson must preserve or
der in the American League games or
get off the pedestal on which the
reformers have placed him. The ex-
National League stars are the chief Of
tenders so far, and they should be
handled without gloves. Clark Crit
nth, manager, captain, pitcher and,
some say, n of the owners Of the
Chicago club, on May 2 made an at
tempt to assault Umpire Connolly for
awarding the game to Detroit on ac-
count of the dilatory tactics of Griffith
and his players. Taking their cue
from Griffith, the spectators made a
rush for the umpire and it required
the players united efforts to protect
him from the mob. Here is the Her
ald-Record's account of the incident:
Griffith, who was twice benched
in the series. rushed forward with
angry protests, his right arm raised
threateningly. Some of the spectators
near said Griffith struck Connolly, but
the latter said after the game hat he
had not been hit. Isbell and other
players rushed in, 'Issy,' grabbing his
manager, and the residue forming
about the umpire. If 'Grif' had any
hostile intentions, he changed quickly
hen he saw the temper of the crowd,
and with the others turned toward the
shouting throng, among whom a few
irresponsible persons were yelling
Mob himi Lynch the umpirei' ana
warned them against violence. The
policemen on the grounds were by this
time on the scene n all danger of
violence quickly subsidized. After the
game Comiskey and a majority Of the
fair-minded spectators, admitted that
Connolly's decision was right and no
protest will be made"
Griffith has since been ordered from
the grounds at Milwaukee. The public
wan to know what pull this kicker
has with President johnson, who has
hitherto been proof against influence
when the rules have been violated and
the game dragged into the mire. In
the Chicago-Detroit series, Hoy and
kl0erfeld had two encounters and

BERGEN A WONDER,

Cincinnati believes she has a wonder
in Billy Bergen. Says Manager Nc
Phee: when l was told on several
occasions this spring that Billy Bergen
was a better catcher than his brother,
Martin. l admit that I did not believe
that such was the case. But since 1
have seen him work. l am compelled TO
admit that he is his brothers superior.
He may not be a Lajoie at the bat. yet
1 think he will make a better hitter
with practice. He will not do much
bench duty this season. He is too valu-
able a man tor a team to be out Of the
game"
