MODERN SOCIETY WOMEN.

and Truly CharmIngR

There were seven wonders Of an
cient history. There are seven times
seven in our own times, but the most
wonderful of all Is the society wom-
an, ever young, ever beautiful, ever
graceful, charming, fascinating, and
q marvel to all beholders. She does
not grow old, she never dies. She
never loses her tact, her grace, her
beauty. Like Tennyson's book she
may say:
-For men may come and men may 90,
But I 80 on forever"
The doctors throw up their hands.
Fhey cannot solve the riddle. The
beauty specialists shake their heads
in silent wonder. The modern so
ciety woman laughs scorn to the raw
ages of time which lays its fingers
so heavily upon all the rest of us
more common clay. Ponce de Leon
hunted for years for the fountain
of youth and died in despair because
he could not find il. But the society
woman has discovered it.

Lieut.. Col. Temple West, Of the En-

Kang Yu Wal, a rich and powerful
Chinese reformer, has come to this
country in the interest Of a movement
to have his countrymen, both at home
and abroad, take up western customs
Of life and civilization. He also wants
Emperor Kwang Hsu to be ruler in
fact as well as in name. Accordingly
he is safe only outside the fiowery
kingdom, for the dowager empress
would seek nothing better than to have
the silken cord frightened around his
throat. At one time he was a member
Of the tsung-li-yamen, China's ruling
board, but his revolutionary views got
him into disfavor and he left China.
This ardent reformer, the first rich
man Of his race to advocate radical
reform, is now on the Pacific coast or

SILK DRESSES OF TIN.
MetaI WEIGHING Substance Has
Tnksu the Place Of Vege-
table Natter.

A Chicago chemist declares that IS
per cent. Of the sO-called silk used for
skirts, blouses, and dresses Is nothing
less than tin, pure and simple, says the
Tribune Of that city. be asserts that
the practice Of substituting tin for
vegetable weighting substances Origi-
mated in Germany. The vegetable mat
tiers were no Getriment, though equal
brillianey Of color was not obtainable,
and there was not the same sheen and
feel" when handled as that produced
by real silk, which has the rustic so
pleasing tOthe ladies' ears. The prac-
tiee of the dyer" he explains, ito whose
hands the silk yarn is intrusted for dye
ing and weighing, is to boil it, and in
so doing he reduces every 16 ounces TO
u, thus eliminating the natural gummy
substances and the foreign matter
added for the purpose Of spinning. The
- ounces were then brought up to IA by
the use Of taunic acid, etc. To-day by
the substitution of tin, the 10 ounces
are raised to 16 ounces, or even so
ounces"
"The proportion Of 'weighting' Is
more than that in black silk" said a
manufacturer 70 whom this statement
was submitted. Frequently only one
fourth of the woven material is real
silk; the other three parts are tin and
dye"
Any woman can test for herself
whether the silk she is buying is tin
weighted. Let her hold some threads
in a flame, and the genuine will leave
an ash resembling that Of wool when
burned, with no traces Of filament,
while the tin weighted simply loses its
color and tenacity, each thread re-
naming distinct in a thin wire gauze.

one particular; her hair is snow
white. But snOw-white hair is be-
coming to Mrs. Palmer. 1t goes well
with black velvet and point lace. PeO-
pie are not asking themselves when
Mrs. Palmer will yield up her place
as a social leader. They are wonder
ing, indeed, when she will marry
again, for she is a widow. Her beauty
is the talk Of the Windy City. Only
a year or two ago her picture was
published in a magazine as one of
Americas leading beauties" A
beauty of 60" would be a decided
novelty-outside of society pale. Mrs.
Palmer knows how to dress as does
no other woman in Chicago.
The woman who is the tyrant
queen of American society to-day is
Mrs. Astor, who is 73 years old. No
body who has seen her sitting in a
box at the opera, straight, 1.-THE,
beautiful, glittering, would suspect
it. Yet the records say it is true.
She is at the zenith of her social
reign at this moment. So far is she
from gray hairs and caps that her
gowns and hats are considered the
proper models for all the women of
her set, young or old. When she
wears a tiara, tiaras become the
rage; when she wears green, green
is the mode. Her frocks are cut like
those of a woman of %, yet she does
not look out of place in them. Her
hair is dressed in the modern fashion
of pompadour and twist, Just as the
young matron or the slip of a board
ing school girl dresses hers, for there
is no age limit in the gowning and
grooming of the society woman.
Other women must adopt smooth
locks and chin bOnnets after so. The
society woman would look utterly
foolish in them. The wave and the
curl are still hers to command at
100 If she will. In the coal black
tresses above Mrs. AstOr's brow there
is not one thread of gray. The so
ciety woman becomes gray only
when it is becoming or smart. Mrs.
Astor's chief>charm is her smile. The
youthful light in her eyes is one Of
her attractions, constantly quoted
by society writer's. Dare anyone sug-
gest false teeth and spectacles? That /
would be ridiculous. The society 1
woman fiOurishes without them. To-
day Mrs. Astor's life is fuller, more /
active, gayer than that of the aver /

what II was fifty years ago. Her
manner, her grace of movement,
poise of head; her charities, her

Of public comment. She is spoken
