A Woman's ACE.

Why will women in this day of en-.
ltGhtment. continue to forget about, or
refuse 70 tell their age?
II a woman looks younger than she
is, then she should be proud OF the
fact that she has defined the years.
Naturally one would suppose thar she
would be anxious 70 have her friends
know about It.
II woman looks older than she IL,
she surely ought to find pleasure in
defending herself against her looks
by publishing the fact that she /,
younger than she seems.
But she won't do either. And why
the matter of years is such sensitive
point with woman Is hard to imagine.
A woman that is as truthful as
gospel will--will forget to consult the
bible before she gives her age.
A woman who is truthful ana
deliberate and who usually SAYS
the right thing in the right place,
will stuttor and stammcr and BLUSH

woman can't grow old any faster than
another The years add as much to

lecture, An immense and very costly
model was made which reproduced the
whole magnificent property with its
formal gardens and various other ltal'

the most favorable location for the

gave the decorators an opportunity to
test the various relations Of color in a
thoroughly satisfactory way.
Besides these models made for prac-
teal uses a good many others are cen,
Structed for purely exhibition pur.
poses Thus at the St. Louis fair
this summer the model of the New
York terminal station of the Pennsyl.
van,a railroad is attracting great
deal of attention. 1t is an ambitious
construction, more than 80 feet long
and costing upwards of thousand
dollars a running foot--in all about
$4,000 Showing as 1t does all the
transportation connections, even to
the subway and the tunnels under the
models ever made in this country and
gives an admirable idea of how this,
the greatest railway station in the
world, will look when completed.
The usefulness of models to art
museums and archaeological collec-
tons is nothing new Reservations of
most of the great buildings of antiquity
have been made and put on exhibition.
Very recently there were received at
the semitic museum Of Harvard uni
yersity two large models of the tenn.
pies of Solomon and Herod, made by
DR. Conrad Schick, a German archaeo-
iogist resident in Jerusalem These
are believed to represent about the
high water mark in matchmaking
The miniature reproductions of Notre
the Metropolitan museum in New York,
and the Sidon sarcophagus, colored in
accordance with the ancient Greek
color scheme by the artist Joseph
Linden Smith in the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts. are good examples OF models
that have become world famous.
Whole sections of ancient cities have
been modelled, Pompeii and Hercu-
laneum being the principal ones.
Architects find that matchmaking Is
a very expensive feature of their work,
though it pays in the long run. Such
IA model as that Of the Rochester
Trust company, which is only about
three feet long, costs upwards of three
dollars, The expense of the
larger ones runs up into the tens OF
thousands.

perspectiyes and elevations were care

showing as thoroughly as can be
graphically indicated just how the
building would look when completed.
Several of the building committee,
however, We're not quite satisfied and
the architects, feeling that their plans
were perfectly adapted to the purposes
OF the trust comany, proceeded to have
a model made. Directly this was shown,
the doubling members of the commit.
tee became as enthusiastic as the
others in praise of the design.

procedure is to lion a skeleton OF

the corresponding fraction of an inch
in the model, and even the slightest
details must be fashioned with ALSO

After he has sized up the plans the
sculptor makes a clay model of the
