Grant and the Girl

Blessed little telephone, and blessed

Girls have their troubles. I don't
know which TO pity the most, the girl
who has no family or the girl who has
too much of one.
Of course it's a very sad sight, ten
der young thing living alone Gin more
or less luxury, trusting to her wits for
her pleasure as we'll as for her living,
and sometimes not getting so very
much of either. A girl who without any
family to back her and teach her the
handed down wisdom of ages holds her
men friends in the teeth of every de-
signing married woman who prowls.
But there is another side to the picture.
Bessie Smith was telling me about it
the other day. ''Oh, you lucky girl"
she cried after a little dinner in my
bachelor quarters. You lucky, lucky

This year the jubilant note sounds be-

THE MODERN ART
OF BEING BEAUTIFUL

The time was when we submitted to
the inevitable. Now we try to look
beautiful and TO look young when years
have robbed US of many charms The
skin specialist has so many secrets; she
has learned to do away with freckles,
to make the skin look like milk or
ivory. There are few women nowadays
who have no faith in cosmetics. There
is no doubt that beauty is the best in
PRODUCTION that a woman can have, but
even then she must have something to
keep up the charm, and most of the
fair sex who have been handed down
to us on account of their beauty have
been also good takers, witty, with some
strong. powerful influence or some spe-
cial talent. 1t is painful TO think of the
number of women who nowadays be-
stow hours on the manicurist, the mas
seuse and the complexion specialist. II
is no uncommon thing for a woman in
middle life to pay several hundred dol
lars for some special cure; but, of
course, in those instances the recipient
Of these large sums gives herself up
for awhile to the treatment of this par
ticular patient, and the successful ones
bring medical science to bear. They
learn TO know what the skin can stand
ard what it cannot and how constltu-
tional defects affect it. Short people
are even brave enough to consult a
physician who by means of electricity
promises to add to their height, while
the hair specialists make hair grow and
become glossy. Certainly they have
done good in increasing cleanliness,
and that we know is next to goodness.
All this is not reserved for the wealthy.
There are people prepared to treat all
classes and at all prices, and many
books are written on the subject. Girls
are taught the benefit of gymnastics
and how to develop the lungs, and all
this is valuable and desirable knowl-
edge.

Many of the sturdy pioneers OF wom-
an suffrage are yet hale and strong
enough to attend the convention. II is
surprising. when one comes to recall
them. to find how many OF these pio-
neers are yet living. most of them well

who never said that women should re-
gard man as the common enemy. is
years old and bids fair to
see a number more of annual national
woman conventions. There are SO
many of these fine old folk yet surviv-
ing in good health and mental activity
that one might almost say. If you
would live long, go in for woman 5
rights"
Yet this year the assembly misses
greetings from one whose greetings
never failed before at an annual con-
vention. even when she herself was not
present, one who was at the back OF the
first woman's rights convention ever
called in the world. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton. who died last autumn within
two weeks OF her eighty-seventh birth
day. That first woman convention was
held in Seneca Falls. N. Y. in July, lS4s
At that gathering Mrs. Stanton threw
her whole powerful individuality and
into the woman's cause
and continued TO fight the battle for
her sex till she passed from earth.
From year to year the delegates to
the annual convention report progress
the world over. The convention itself is
more and more fully attended, attract
ing delegates from every state in the
Union. Each year some distinct gain
for woman is reported in the line OF in
creased property. political or industrial
rights: nay. these enthusiastic suffra-
gists draw victory even from defeat.

HOW A QUEEN WooEs SLEEP.

The queen of Servia is a late and dis
tinguished convert to the idea that if
one would preserve a good figure she
must eschew luxurious beds.
Her majesty is conceded to possess
the best figure and most stately car
riage of all the royal women of Europe.
She has given up the soft bed and
down pillows and sleeps on a hard and
narrow divan spread with an unyield-
ing mattress.
There is no vestige of pillow under
her head, but her feet rest on a small
one.
Previous to taking up with this I'M

nightmare, but from both these terrors

The National American

Ut was a pleasant thought of the
committee that wields the destiny
of the great federation of woman

meeting of 1903 to be held in New Or

month later than has been the wont for
these conventions, which for many years
have had place in February in Wash
ington city. Once before, by special invi
tation the National American Woman
