My dear. that is a poser. Of course.

Mrs. vanderbiit's Benevoience.

About everything has been told Of
Mrs. William Z. Vanderbilt except her
benevolence, and for this quality she is
known principally in Paris. Few wom-
en- in the French capital are SO well
beloved by the native people, and as
Mrs. Lewis NJ. Rutherfurd she sub
scribed generously to hospitals and
settlements. Now Mrs. Vanderbilt will
give home for friendless girls. with a
hospital annex. This is the sort of
charity that counts. When Mrs. Van
derbilt lived in Paris as widow her
share of the Hartman estate was suf-
ficient to permit the broad relief Of
destitute families. Mrs. Rutherfurds
heusekeeper always kept in touch with
missions and settlements, and the
gentle American gave away thousands
a year. Now that she can call upon
some of the Vanderbilt millions it will
not be surprising if her benefactions
amount to enormous sums.
1t is whispered that Mrs. Vanderbilt
and her stepdaughter-in law. Mrs.
Willie K. Vanderbilt Jr. are not ex-
tremely friendly. and the mere fact
that the young Vanderbilt held aloof
from the marriage speaks eloquently
in favor of this rumor. Mrs. Willie K.
Jr. has always been fond of her
mother-in-law, Mrs. Belmont, and so it
will not be wondered at should she ig-
more her husbands stepmother. Mrs.
Belmont and the sister of Mrs. Her.
man Oelrichs are bosom friends, and
it was the former who arranged the
marriage between Miss Fair and young
Vanderbilt. Young Mrs. Vanderbilt
has espoused the cause of Mrs. Bel
mont more openly, and for this reason
she has not been popular with other
Vanderbilts. At best it was a difficult
position for the young bride. Consuelo,
Duchess Of Marlborough. is the soul of

TALKING KILLED HIM

One of St. Paui's Grand Old Women
Shows How to Grow Old Gracefully
She Still Brings Cheer Wherever
She Goes.

Did you read about the man who
talked himself to death? Strange,
wasn't it, for man? If it been wom-
an nobody would have thought it at all
strange. But man! He had been
wounded in the jaw and his physicians
told him that if he kept perfectly quiet
he would get we'll Well, do you sup
pose that man kept still? Not bit OF
it. He went right on talking and the
wound had no chance to heal and he
died. And not funny paragraph has
been written about him, but If that
had been a woman, George AIDE, Mr.
Dooley and John Kendrick Bangs
would have worked overtime to write
funny stories about her. But 1t was
man and there is silence.
What a difference there is in the way
some persons have of growing Old;
there is way to do it gracefully and
make every one glad to have those who
know how about them; and then there
is a cross, Grabbed way, which makes
others fly. And it all lies with our
selves whether as we grow older we
will be a delight to those about us or
the other thing.
There is a lonely old lady living in
one of the suburbs of this city who is
an example to all about her. She is
one of the Oldest settlers about here
now; indeed, she is said to be the only
woman now living who was here in
1848. She has gone through seas of
trouble in her life, but today she is
more cheerful and better company than
half the young women in town. In
speaking of her troubles recently she
said that once when she was in the
greatest sorrow she said to herself:
1.-The Lord is trying to see how much
can bear, and I'll just show him!" So
ho
along, never losing her courage and
never talking of her troubles. A few
years ago she moved out to a suburb
to- live with married daughter and,
realizing that her old friends were dy-
ing off, she decided to make new ones.
A very wise thing to do, by the way,
and implies no disloyalty to old friends.
SO this brave old lody went about and
gathered the women of that suburb to-
gether and formed a literary club
mind you, she is nearly eighty-and to-
day that club has over forty members
and has Joined the State Fedora ton.
The mother OF the club is its founder
and most active member, and this au-
tuInn she Is probably going to Mankato
to represent her club at the annual
convention. Speaking of Mankato, she
said she had been down there fifty
years before there was a single house.
This dear old lady is welcome every
where; she is related to some of st.
Paurs oldest and best families and
thinks nothing of coming into town
for several days or going up to Min
neapolis to visit cousins. And such
stories as she can tell! Not long ago
the Historical society asked her to
write her "reminiscences of early days
here, and she said that If they would
1etther crochet them or knit them she
would do it; but she did hate to write.
Now. why can't we all grow old that
way and keep our courage and good
spirits to the end? Try it, says

THE uNPossEssED.

My Hearts Desire hath led me
Through barren lands and vain.
And bitter bread she fed me,
And babe me drink of pain.
All, me, I climbed a weary way
To heights of her disdain,
Yet, would I give the years live
To walk the path again.
The Hearts Possessed beside me
Leads me level way;
There may no ill betide me,
No thirst or famine stay.
She hath no wish but wish of mine,
No joy save to obey,
And at my side her form must bide
Until my dying day.
My Hearts Possessed hath stflled me
From all unrest malgin;
Yea. eased the hope that thrilled me
With too keen pain and fine.
Yet, my Heart, my Hearts Desire,
My ungained dream divine.
That never turned the while yearned
Nor closed her hands in mine!

As long as we can see. them here,
But when afar upon the main,
We lingering turn and look again..
White as the wing of seahird swift,
Or new-failen SHOWS unsullied drift.
So We with those our hearts hold dear
Dwell side by side and year by year.
And faults and fraiities recognize,
Albeit we see with lenient eyes.

With orders sealed they cross the bari

Their sails are white forevermore

BEAUTY AND HEALTH.

Cold water, intelligently used, will
do almost more than anything else to
prevent the catching-cold habit from
fastening on one. An i'll kept outer
skin and dyspeptic condition of the
mucous membranes on the inside are
said to be largely responsible for colds.
A cold tub or sponge bath each morn
ing, preceded and followed by brisk
dry rub, is usually all that is necessary
to keep the cutaneous circulation alive
and the skin braced against changes In
temperature. This may be too heroic
for those not accustomed to it. In That
case begin with the water at any COM
Portable temperature making 1t one de-
gree colder each morning. Ii the BODY
is rubbed with salt or alcohol after dry
ing the reaction is intensified. For
those who cannot take the cold sponge
bath, the dry rub is a fair substitute.

No word is SO common in these days
as neurasthenia; yet it is not easy to
define, and many Of those Who use 1t
have only the ,yaguest idea what 1T

indicated thereby has usually been re-

though it is found in most countries Of

Mrs. Carlyle is now declared by Sir
James Crichton Brown to have been
''neurotic." Wear and tear, storm and
stress, badly regulated life, in short,
are the causes usually assigned for this
arrangement of function resulting from
the exhaustion of nervous energy, but
defects Of nutrition also have much to
do with it, and the solution of the
problem, as in many other cases, may
rest ultimately with the cook.
