An amusing discussion recently took
place between an artist and an author
as to which period Of her life a
woman was the most fascinating. Ac-
cording to the artist woman should
not be painted between the ages Of
twenty-five and forty, as she was in
the greatest transition period Of her
life. The author, on the other hand,
declares that she Is at the height Of
her fascination and beauty between
the ages Of thirty and forty. The ques-
ton Is still nsettled.-Bremen Zeitung.
