Last year it was quite the correct style
at supmer resorts and fashionable water
ing places for men to go about out of doors
seen walking on the shady side of the
streets with hats in hand. This Is an in
novation TO be encouraged. An hours
sun bath and consequent ventilation will
do more to revivify the scalp and cause
the hair TO grow than the use Of an entire
bottle of any known hair tonic The prac-
tice should be INDUCED in whenever prac-
tiCable, and when the heat is not too Sc
we're TO be dangerous.
at the present time the subject of pre-
mature badness is a very serious one, es-
pecial!y applying to the young men of the
better classes. II has been demonstrated
by actual count that badness prevails to
q much greater extent among the edu-
Gated. refined and Intellectual class than
with the manual workers.
The hair upon the top of the head of
the average man of the jeunesse dOree is
none too thick these days, and anything
and everything that promises 20 keep ones

embroidery and linen lace. the other two

Women and Their Clubs.

Brooklyn Life.
Instead of being a revolution the woman
movement here in the United States is an
evolution, due to the larger liberty Tor
both men and women which is in the
American air, and, in large part, TO the
revolution made in methods of production
by machinery. In the days before the
steam loom, the sewing machine, or the
canning factory were dreaned of the wom-
an of good position was something more
than a wife and mother. She was the head
OF a factory which produced food and
clothing by slow and laborious processes,
which employed a good many workers,
and, in the early days in this country,
would have employed more if they were
TO be had. This work gave an outlet 10 a
woman's executive faculty and put her
more nearly on terms of equality with her
husband than is commonly assumed in dis
cussions OF the new status.
In the modern world all this work is
denied TO women. Economic cenditlons
other causes have not obliterated them,
and for a woman whose husband has 2
good income there are practically three
resources for her surplus energy after she
has met the requirements of her family.
She can go out and earn more money In
some profession, which is usually foolish;
she can join one or two clubs for literary
and philanthrOpic work, or she can devote
afternoons to progressive euchre and card
clubs. 4 limited Few women IN the upper
branches of the social tree can devote
themselves to Society with a capital 5, and
can rival their sisters in a scramble to
reach the central topmost bough, but that
competition no longer sets the standard
for all womanhOod as il once did. This
group of diversions includes almost every
woman who employs a servant. and not a
few women thus placed find time for one
or the other of them. A mere man VINO
should attempt TO award the apple of So
cial usefulness among these three classes
would need more than the wisdom of
Paris and the courage of Daniel. Fortu-
nately no such judgment is called for. Only
the club women, whose representatives are
headed for Los Angeles, are under discus
sion at this time. There are, of course.
many varieties of them. as there are of
club men. But, as a rule, club women's
children take high rank in the schools and
colleges and give every indication of aver

pies, by which the spirit OF Christianity

fulness of women's work in this direction
has long been recognized. Whatever its
effects were the club movement is too firm
iy rooted to be overthrown, although 1t is
often outgrown by individual women, and
may yet be so by large classes. But the
further the clubs extend the more clearly
is il seen that their effect upon family and
home life is beneicent.

sister. He went to Switzerland for the pur-
pose of contracting this marriage. but 1t
was invalid according to English law. and
the consequence was that Lady DOnnelly
was not only barred from going to court,
but was likewise looked upon askance by a
number of prudist people, who declined to
call upon her, or even TO meet her, insist
ing that she was not married.
Lady DOnnelly is a very charming woman.
When her younger sister was stricken with
the illness which subsequently carried her
off she came TO nurse the dying woman and
TO look after the three little children. She
remained after her sisters demise, acting
as a mother to the little ones. and as she
was a rather attractive woman, this natur-
ally gave rise to ill-natured talk. 1t was TO
put an end 10 this talk, to give a mother to
his little ones, and likewise because he was
very fond of her, that Sir John married her.
He was a man who enjoyed a considerable
amOunt of influence, official and otherwise;
yet not even the most powerful of his
friends. among whom may be numbered the
Duke of DeVonshire, were strong enough TO
override this prejudice. and people who
opened their doors to women guilty of the
most notorious and fragrant ndiscretions-
even to women who had figured evily in the
divorce court-closed them vigorously
against Lady Donnelly, merely because she
had married her dead sisters husband. Yet
il Canada, and / believe in australia. such
marriage are perfectly valid, as they are
also in most of the countries of continental
Europe. England being one of the few ma
tions that still declines to repeal the pro-
hibition of unions of this nature.
L have often wondered why Sir John did
not go to Canada rather than TO Switzer-
land TO marry his sister-in-law. The union
would have had a greater appearance of
legality, since IT would not have come under
the head of those acts which are regarded
as invalid in England owing TO their having
been performed abroad for the special pur-
pose of evading the terms of the English
law. Sir John Donnelly leaves no children
by his second wife. This is fortunate. as
any issue of this second union would be
i~llegitimate in the eyes of the English law.
