The Woman of Forty.

This title is more feared by women
than it deserves, says a writer in a
London periodical devoted to feminine
interests. The middles of things are
really the best if they could only realize
it: beginnings and endings are full of
fear and dread. STILL when that omin-
Gus number 40 is in sight, what tremors
II sends through the feminine heart
40, and the best half of life gone
Small wonder that so many make a
stand at 80 and refuse to advance, call
ing in science and art TO aid in "restor-
ing the editice." The sweet wrinkled old
face, carrying it's life's story, is already
as extinct as the Dodo.
Nature is a kindly mother and keeps
many compensations for her ugly duck
Hngs Mind has beauty all its own.
The brainy woman must. however, be
clever enough to keep her brains out of
sight if she wishes to be a social sue
cess, and to remember at the same time
that post-meridian charms will not be
enhanced by untidy habits of dress. She
will do wei Ito study herse and fall
of the sleeve as we'll as that of the
Dutch republic. Never forgetting dam
ty frill or furbelow or any of the little
cOurteseS of life; these are the quail
ties that bring her smilingly through ey-
cry social ordeal.

woman minus charm and that saving
grace, sense of humor; she is the

pared to rushing, sparkling river 1t

quality of certainty about the average
woman that is so appalling.
The one quality most desirable in a
woman is this restless Twentieth cen

How Many Evenings Shall "Hen call2

An lS-year-old girl ii Il western town
mas organized Cupid's Ten O'Clock
club. Its members bind themselves to
entertain their lovers only two evenings
a WeeN' ana to have them leave by 10
clock.
The reasons of this feminine and
youthful solon are interesting. Engaged
couples, She says, see too much of each
other. Two evenings Il week are enough
for all the love making necessary before
marriage. Save some of it until after
ward. If it is not all used M before
hand there will be Il better supply Of it
against the time when it is more urgently
needed. This seems to be the theory on
which this wise young woman has or
gained her club.
Another reason is that girls who spend
ali their time with the fiaucces have no
opportunity to learn the necessary duties
of the matrimonial state. Instead of go
Ing to the theatcrs ami parties every
night and lying abcd half the next morn
ing, they should he spending the early
part of the night in refreshing sleep, and
giving the day to the practice Of those
things which will make for their excel
lencc as wives and homcmakers
The third point scored by this remark
ably far-sIghtcd young woman is that the
girl whose lover dCvotes every evening
in the week to her is apt to expect the
SttIitt LtEltt Oh Slll8Ht-IillIiNttt tiRANilDn
after marriage. She is likely to expect
her husband to rcn0uucc every other in
tercst in life in order TO spend all his
spare moments with her. MS he did in the
fine frenzy of his antC-nuptial feryor II
is unreausoable that he should continue
to DO so. OF course. and young Miss Solo
mon quite properly argues that it is
therefore better that Il girl should never
get used to it Two evenings a week
ngs Il week after marriage seem to her
Il better proportion and less conducive to
heart aches and divorce courts than
seven evenings n week before marriage
and two or three evenings n week after
marriage
Another thing the president of the
Ten O'clock club evidently had in mind
was that the lover whose lady has not
become an old story to him before the
wedding day is much more likely to look
forward to that event with thrills of
impatient expectation than he who
knows his bride from \ to Il before he
marries her. He has not seen her in
every guise. phase and attitude. until
she is already an Old story TO him. as
is the case with the man who spends ev-
cry available day and all his evenings
with his tiancee through a prOtracted en-
gagement.
Two evenings week aud good night
at 10 O'Clock" is the slogan of the Gu
pids club. Let us see less of our low
erS, in order that we may be better fitted
to become their wives: in order that they
may appreciate us better and in order
that we may have more to give each 9th
er when we are married" is what its
members say in effect, if not in SO many
words.
The wonder is that any young woman
should have arrived at such surprising
wisdom at the immature age of IS

The Hall Problem.

With the coming Of the winter months
the front hall problem again presents il
self 10 the mistress OF Il small house.
The ideal house, as one opens its front
door, sends out fresh. sweet odor Of
Well-aired cleanliness, with lust a touch
perhaps Of the scent Of violets OF the
fragrance of some growing plant. The
atmosphere is warm to a pleasant nat
uralness. Space and ira GRANGE and com
fort are the first impressions.
But the actual home of the small
householder is much more apt to offer
compound of stale carpets, beefSteak
cauldower, and yesterdays tobacco on
entrance, mixed with Il blast Of furnace
heat or peYaded with Il dark and re-
pelling chiliness.
The sitting room beyond may he pleas
ant and fresh, but the han through
which one must pass is apt to be an
uncheerful repository of odors. And vet
lt is the entrance hail TINT gives the first
Impressions OF a house, and often the
most lasting one for it takes an abnor-
lnalIy attractive sitting room to crowd
ont the memory of the dismalness that
