THE FASHION OF YOUTH.
"A Decision That Helps tO:Malze This

"A Decision That Helps tOsMake This
 Old World Gay.
 It would seem that ladies have left off growing old by their own decision. The bachelor girl of today. may be thirty, thirty-five or forty, but as mo- body reminds her of her years she is unaware of them, with the result so agreeable to us all-that she does not look them. She has simply decided to remain young, and youth abides with Ser. A fashion writer says:
 Where is she who once was styled old maid? I encounter her only in novels or on the stage. It is the way of the novelist to lag behind the times, but the theater should know better.
 So far, indeed, as women are con- cerned, there Is nothing now, think, between youth and the extremity of years. Middle age, having gone out of fashion has incontinently disappeared. The maiden aunt has become the elder cousin of her rnieces and her nephews.
 Why grow old? The gods never thought of such ia thing. A middle aged Venus is a contradiction in terms, and what fancy could depict a wrin- kled Hebe?
 At this point am imperatively re- minded that some form of athletics claims most ladies at the present day. I am not thinking only of the school girl and the girl graduate. am think ing more particularly of those ladies who have long passed from the hands of schoolmistTess, who have, in fact, reached what used to be called "a cer- tain age" Twenty years ago these ladies would have been expected to wear bonnets and a severe style of mantle.
 Tn their attire as much as in any thing observe the happy determina- ton of ladies to go on being young. There seems to be at present no mid dIe aged wear at all. How, forsooth, should there be, middle age being benefcently abolished! If dowdiness is observable, l suspect at once that the offender is still in her unregenerate youth. A little later she is wise enough to know that no woman ever yet look ed young who was badly or unbecom- ingly dressed.
 Given a certain way of life, more over, 1t is probably as easy to remain youthful-within, of course, a reason able span of years-as to grow old. One thing may be taken as certain that the age at which women in gen. eral elected to be laid on shelves has been absurdly young; that they have become aware of that fact and are dis posed to remain young in future for a very much longer period-a most laud- able intention, surely

PAYNE'S STATEMENT
Charges Against Officials Are Serious.
"pAY DIRT" MAY HAVE BEEN FOUED
Irregularities Mean Anything Un- lawful - If Any Improper Act Has Been Done We Will
 Investigate 1t.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Postmas- ter General Payne has sent letters to the comptroller of the treasury, the au- ditor for the post office department and other officials, calling their atten- ton to statements made by ex-Cashfer Tulloch in his communication of last Saturday. The letters ask for any ex- planation or further information that might throw light on the subject. The formal charges of MT. Tulloch, MT. Payne said, have been dissected and that matter relating to particular branches of the service referred to the bureaus having jurisdiction for report. MT. Payne said that he regarded the charge against the auditor and the comptroller as the most serious of the. allegations. He said that if those off,. cials allowed improper accounts to be audited or suppressed what might be called pay dirt had been found" The charges, Ire said, impugn their good faith and integrity. MT. Payne pointed out a difference which existed between charges of irregularities and of actual violation of law.
 A SOfCA OluCldAs hO Sa1up 'may buy something which he has no authority to purchase and no authority to pay for, but the government gets the use of the article nevertheless. Irreg- ularities mean anything unlawful. The department may pay out of the wrong fund either by accident or by design, yet that need not be unlawful" He said in this connection that, the charge regarding the dfsallowance by the comptroller of between $30,O00 and $40,0OO was charge of ,irregularity. not of unlawfuIness, and he under stood that practically all of this sum had been subsequently,. allowed.
 Ut is unfair he suggested, -''to make the public believe that the government has been cheated out of such an amount of money when it was only a question of irregularity in accounting"
 The postmaster general was asked regarding the charges against former First Assistant Postmaster General Perry S. Heath and George w, Bea- vers, formerly chief of the division. of salaries and allowances.
 'I have nothing to do,'' replied the postmaster general, with the personal rela tions between MT. Tulloch and In- diana politicians nor with his hatred for the postmaster of Washington or others. If any improper act was done by any one now in office or by any one who is not now in office so far as it might reflect on the department we will investigate it.''
 Discussing MT. Tulloch's references to the Porto Rican service, MT. Payne suggested that MT. Tuiloch was not charged with the responsibility for the Porto Rican establishment and that the Porto Rican establishment had no more to do with the Washington office than the Chicago office, for instance, except in name, which was for the convenience in administration. He said it was physical impossibility for MT. Tulloch to know whether the enn ployees at Camp Alger or in Porto Rico or in the department were per- forming the labor for which they were paid, . .-...> -s

How to Make a Rose Jar.

Spread the rose leaves on tray and expose them to the sun or warm air until dry; then lightly crumble them up small between the hands. Add other dry odorous ingredients to suit the taste, such as gum benzoin, root of calamus, cassia buds, musk seed, orris root, vanilla and sandalwood. Add a little of the essential oil of roses.
