THE SECRET OF HER M0DESTY

my dear" remarked her mother with
matronly pride, sit has been a source
of great pleasure to both your father
and me to observe that, though you
have always been accustomed TO all
the pleasures and luxuries that wealth
can bring, you have never fallen vic
tim to that most offensive of vices
conceit. You have never betrayed in
the slightest degree the impression that
you even realized the existence of the
beauty which is undeniably yours"

Ledger, turned. with a scornful smile
upon her lips. Beauty, indeed!
taught" And she tapped the floor
impatiently with the bulldog toe of her
patent leather oxford.
What excuse could possibly have
to lay claim to beauty and her bosom
heaved with Indignation. II seem to
possess no individuality whatever;
else why do 1 remind every one of some
one they have known before? Why. I
have actually grown to dread meeting
strangers, for no sooner is the hand
shake over than 1 become the uncom-
Portable cynosure of all eyes. How
like Miss Blank she isl Don't you
notice it, John? There's something
about the mouth--or is it the eyes,
which has kept me wondering ever
since she came into the room who it
was she reminded me of. There!
Wasn't that smile just like poor dear

There's fathers sister, Aunt Lucy,
who never sees me without remarking
my wonderful resemblance to her dead
twin sister Aurelia. OF course, / sup
pose that is only natural, as we are
really of kin. But-and there was Bit
ing sarcasm in her tones-judging from
that picture of her in the family album,
the knowledge of the resemblance ex-
listing between us is hardly conducive
to conceit. Then, one day when l was
practicing some of my cooking school
recipes down in the kitchen, Bridget
cast an admiring glance at me while
she told me that, with my sleeves all
rolled up that way and with bingham
apron on, 1 reminded her so of her
sister Cornelia, who was still in the
Old Country. Fancy! Wasn't that dis
gushing?
But that was not the worst Only
yesterday when I stopped in to in
quire about old Aunt Sukey's rheu-
matism, didn't she have the effrontery
to tell me. 'Yo shore put me in min

wholly true comes to my mind, which
vividly typif1es what many woman
might do If they so awoke to this de-
sire to make their homes and their lives
fair up to their means"
The wife was young and very full of
life's youth and zest, and she was very
winning and beautiful. She was child
less and married to an elderly man abb
sorbed in the thing of his Western
farm. There was no other house even
in sight. The dwelling was bare of any
ornament or charm. the woman was
lonely and often unemployed. She
longed for things in harmony with her
youth and beauty, and neighboring
farmers found this out. They sought
to please her, and home grew constant
ly less lovable, less bearable. She was
sorely tempted to find out whether
there was not something yet unknown
to her. something beyond the unbroken
prairie which surrounded her that was
fair in life
A man whose consecrated vocation
led him to her door, saw both the bar
rem vacuity which surrounded her and
the only means of escape that has as
yet been shown to her. Some happy
insight into what would comfort her,
made him send her, not any volume of
avowedly religious teaching, but a
suggestions for the improvement of
what every woman loves-home, per-
sonal adornment and accomplishment
of mind and body.
The passing months brought her fresh
numbers of this energizing companion.
She began to fancy how flowers would
look before her door how her own
handiwork might soften bare walls and
drape the square panel SASH and make
a. oil ri 70
upon. And as she turned the pages.
bright with many Illuminating illustra-
tons, she found also earnest appeals
to something within her, which she
had never before realized as part of her
nature.
Unconscious why she did it, not at
first realizing the revolution going on
in her heart, she gradually became the
creator of a home which was in har-
mony with the youth which had seemed
imprisoned in cell. and all within her
reach even her husband, who had
grown cold under her discomfort, now
warmed into responsiveness to what
relieved his life from the monotony or
labor, and revealed to him the charm
of a good woman making her allotted
portion fair. up to her means"
1t goes deep-even to the foundations
of our daily experiences; it reaches
high-even to those lofty places of as
piration which are the strongholds Of
noble thoughts and real achievement;
it stretches forever to the outermost
boundary of our contact with human
beings. it is a refuge against envy and
discomfort; and a spur to every whole
some activity, this determination to
make fair what we find is all that
we can expect to be ours.

at moments and under certain circum-
stances, but they are and must be like
Cinderella at the ball with the clock on
the stroke of IL. The staying power
gives out long before the power OF
appearing young; yes, and being young.
But, after all, what is the charm of
youth? Is 1t physical simply? OF
course, clear eyes and skin. round. firm
outlines and freshness of lips and cheek
are lovely, but not all young girls pos
sess them.
Is ii manners? There is a charm
about the half timid, yet well-trained
manner of an ingenious girl, but the
gracious tact that comes only by ex-
perience. the self-poise that knows just
what to say and do and leave undone,
possesses even greater charm.
And surely it is not the intellect and
the conversational power of youth to
which people so lovingly cling. The
crude ideas, the impossible theories, the
misplaced credulity or the sweeping
iconoclasm-are these the conditions of
mental development in which women
would remain?
What then? In spite of the reason
one can bring to bear upon the matter
the fact remains, and, no doubt. will
remain, that youth is a possession to
be chung to as long as possible and
feigned as much longer as may be.
In the new order of things, with
deeper interest. wider outlook, en-
larged sympathies woman now feels
the relentless march of years much less
than formerly, and with all the new
light upon her physical care and con-
dition. she can easily look as young as
she feels.
Nowadays. if women grow stout and
clumsy, or thin and faded at an early
age, it is not of necessity, but from
indifference to the laws of health.
If people were careful to observe all
laws of health in regard to exercise
and diet, the natural age of man would
perhaps be from 100 to 140 years, and
his best working years would be from
so to 100, and women would be in their
prime and at the age of greatest love-
illness at co.
Ancient sculpture abounds in exam
pies of mature womanhood. Venus de
Milo is evidently a woman of 80. All
the Junos, Minervas Venuses, Melpom-
enes and many Madonnas are mature
women.
Titan preferred to paint women at
30. Rubens goes without difficulty as
far as 40. Van Dyke does not recog-
nize age at all; with him art is free.
He entertained a sovereign contempt
for time. Rembrandt does more; by

WHEN is A WOMAN
REALLY 0LD7

When is woman old, or, rather how
long is a woman actually young?
1t is an important question, says the
New York Sun, and the usual answer
is that to others woman is as old as
she looks and to herself as old as she
feels.
A woman is actually young at 25. and
she isn't old until she is 3O and she
isn't really old then. but just settled.
"A woman may be any age she
chooses" asserted a man OF the world
the other day. adding. II know several
charming young women OF so. II is
simply a matter Of temperament. 4"
Really, there IL no year OF woman's
life, no ten years, IN which you can def-
niteiy demand that she should cease 70

probably will never cease 10 be young

DIFFERENT KINDS OF WOMEN.

Women in public places have TYPICAL
ly different ways of getting their wants
answered For instance in the COM
paratively simple feat of getting a car
to stop, half dozen women passengers
will adopt as many different ways of
attracting the conductors notice
The free-and-easy, mannish type of
woman, says the New York Sun, whis-
ties If necessary to make the conductor
look around and otherwise shows that
she is serviceable and Independent in
disposition and not averse to being
looked at.
The demure unobtrusive woman of a
patiently considerate turn will ride two
blocks past her corner maybe before
she musters courage to let the conduc-
tor know that she wants to get off
She waits in the hope that he will look
in her direction, and only when things
get desperate does she jump up and
motion to him or otherwise call atten-
ton to herself.
The quietly confident self possessed
woman, on the other hand, when the
conductor is particularly occupied or
non-attentive simply rings the ben and
steps off. She believes her own con-
venience of more consequence than the
stares Of strangers.
The girl or woman of the dependent
trustful temperament appeals to the
man sitting nearest to her to stop the
ear, or she will motion to some pas
senger near whom the conductor is
standing to make known her need.
The nervous restless woman begins
to fidget and look anxious long before
the time comes for her to get off, If the
conductor appears engrossed with bust
ness or conversation. And when her
destination draws near she will half
rise from her seat and flourish bag or
parasol or handkerchief in many at
tempts to catch his eye before that
object is attained. Sometimes II seems
almost as II the conductor sees this
sort of woman all the while but pur-
posely abstains from looking in her
direction just to plague her.
