RAIN-PROOF HATS.

Quite one of the latest things to save
women from the fretting and worrying
attendant upon being caught in a
shower Of rain with a new rat is told
by an English visitor to Vienna. He
says that the Great Park, that favorite
resort OF the Viennese fashionable
world. was one day recently crowded
with gayly dressed promenaders in
their lOveliest spring attire when the
unexpected deluge suddenly descended
with disastrous results 10 all except a
party OF four ladies, who nevertheless
had borne the brunt OF the storm like
everyone else.
Removing their dripping hats and
simply giving them a gentle shaking
these ladies then resumed their head
gear whereupOn the flowers appeared
even fresher and more llfellke than
ever. They were the invention OF bene-
hcent Austrian genius who deserves the
undying gratitude OF the feminine world
for his discovery that celluloid prepared
in a special way provides a material out
Of which the most delicate artificial
flowers OF every kind can be made.
flowers that are not only almost indis-
tinguishable from natures handiwork,
but are absolutely uninjured by the

d d Observations of peggu D. D.

The governor of Maryland, In an ad-
dress to some high school graduates,
advised them not to marry early, as his
experience and observation went to
show that early marriages were any
thing but a success.
In his opinion no girl should marry
under twenty-four years Of age; for, he
said, before that time no girl is fitted
TO bear the many burdens and worries
which marriage brings la its train. He
bases his opinion. however, for the
most part, on his own personal expert
ence, as his wife was twenty-six when
he was married.
While Governor Warfeld is right up
TO a certain point. still no hard and
fast rule can be laid down for love and
marriage.
Men and women love each other with
utter disregard for rules and regula-
tions, for little Dan was ever an er-
ratio youngster and often responsible
for most unlikely matings.
Many a girl is serious-minded when
she IS but nineteen or twenty, and there
are men who have sense at twenty
three or four. although as a rule,
think. they rarely attain TO sensible
earnest manhood until In the neighbor-
hood Of thirty
Young men Of twenty and Whereabouts
are apt TO be conceited and unsettled.
az also are many young women Of the
same age. No rule. therefore, can be
laid down. although, as one looks about,
Governor Warfield would appear 20 be
right.
