The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1904-05-12

Ss I1aIds full of things she has to count
ever now and then TO keep track OF
She wi IL learn to have her watch
sfSa nd purse where she knows they are
sSsafe, and not have to make wild dash
es at them to reassure herself.
sssSs She will learn to take simple
lunch from home, aud not depend on
the as bestos-like Fair sandwich, the
first Bite Of which leaves the pink
slice Of ham lolling on her chin, while
the bread crust pulls off like box liz
rim.
She will learn to wear easy shoes
and not so tottering and webbing
Il about on slender heels suited TO The
alIroou only, and wear a hat thar
stays in place on gusty plazas and i"
upward gazing poses.
She viii learn to do her sightseeing
system tically and not rush ai1llessly
from one building TO another after
something she has heard about
She will learn to avoid going with
large parties, where much time is
vast ID lin rounding up a Struggling
Grove and in arguing over the best
routes to take, but will choose some
con genial friend with whom to talk
over e EXHIBITS and SO not have to
walk backward and stumble o-er
ssthings8in. an effort to hear what 9th
& ers Of the party are saying.
The handsome rooms of the "o-
mans building. about, which we have
s heard so much, made mistake when
they sat for their pictures. They are
5 ~ cry like some people who have OK
.Spresive faces, full of color and life.
but who take dull, plain photo
graph The &brocade-covered walls OF
the French salon do not show off their
beauty, viii CHI is vested in the tint aud
sheen Of their glossy green silks
while the sunny walls Of the yellow
tea room look dull and undressing
lin their photograph, broken out as
hey are with an eruption of little
square pictures.
Some day we shall have a camera
81. that Will take the soul of things and
en- we shall have colorful pictures
that are pictures indeed.
zen a woman has been dead as
I long as has the lady mummy from
Egypt, who is representing her conn
try ats;the Fair, she loses, somehow,
a her charming personality and becomes
merely her own weight of clay, on
which we gaze with curiosity-or In
IS Inference.
NoNr,55when a woman is but newly
dead we tiptoe around constraineiiy
and u look serious and nournfUl ard
say all 1.-The good we can of her. and
ask wflat%she is, going to be laid away
in, and offer to sit up She seems
herself still and we touch her face
gently as if she knew, and put her
favorite flowers in her hand.
When we come suddenly upon 4
woman who has been dead a long
time-say year or two-and per
81 chance find her swinging ecrily from
some secluded rafter or beachcd by d
receding pond. we fall il a fit or run
* screaming away and have nervous
prostration from the shock, and ra.
Is late at intervals all the rest OF oul
n lives just what trivial things we were
II thinking OF when all at once we came
5 upon her, and tell how all our days
3s,W we expect to see her before us which
s ever way we turn. To us she is no
longer human but some strange I'm
canny thing that makes us afraid in
he dark
.s3 But when woman has been dead
long enough-say several thousand
years--why, then she possesses a les
chatting interest for US and We hang
ssss over her4as we do over this bit Of an
cient Egyptian femininity.
One thing we like about her is that
she seems soScompletely and entire'y
I finish which cannot be said Of many
Of the other exhibit That she was
