1.-THE whole trouble is her life is narrow.
She has stayed too close to home and mas
little experience IN what Is going on ABOUT
her In the world
Thus spoke a ~well-known woman or a
girl who is pronounced in her views ana
ideas, and who has really grown OLD IN
her set ways.
1t is q great mistake for a woman TO
settle down too closely to home and IL
has been said that this Is one of the many
reasons why women age more quickly than
men.
If this is so, the problem should be con-
sidered seriously In Its relation to gooo
looks. bcomfort and happiness.
Perhaps 1t is because men have the
stimulus of business and close contact
with other people that they are saved from
the monotony endured by women who take
scant recreation from their home duties.
To be sure. the business woman shares
the same advantages, but there is In sharp
contrast to these the army of home women
whose ambitions slowly die for want OF
stimulation. These women make unneces-
sary slaves of themselves; they are doing
themselves a great injustice, and ere sure
to reap a harvest % neglect.
The larger ones circle Of friends and
acduaintances in the business world, the
better. it Is always conceded, so why
should it not be 50 for the home woman?
Should she not make new friends and meet
numerous people If she wishes to keep
abreast with the times and not grow
rusty?
"Oh, I'm getting too old to go to places.
I don't know what to talk about" we often
hear mothers of families say,
That's the very reason why they should
"go to places and mingle with people. The
exchange OF ideas and variety Of inter-
ests will widen their sphere and give
them something else to think about be-
sides the drudgery of their homes.
A woman can be a good housekeeper
without being a drudge and without
cranlping her life, and, moreover, she owes
it to her family to keep up her interests
In the things around her.
Don't let-it be said of you that your
life is too narrow"

said, were friends If the church. but she
claim I'd that God was behind some of their
cures, and that He was able to heal where
they could not.
Several of the teachers from different
parts of the country held that the days of
miracles were not yet passed. Sister hck-
son, her husband and Pastor Hancox were
prominent among those pointed out as

HE FOLLOWS THE PL0W
THOUGH 81 YEARS OLD.
Squire Giddings and Wife Celebrate
Sixty-fourth Anniversary Of
Their Wedding.

ATco. Sept. 2s.zsquire Solomon Cid
dings and his wife, who celebrated the
sixty-fourth anniversary of their wedding
last Friday, are two of the spryest old
people in South Jersey. The squire is 81
years old and his wife SO.
Squire Giddings is the Justice Of the
peace for Atco, but he rarely exercises his
functions, except as a mediator In dis
putes, preferring to bring disputants to an
amicable settlement of their differences
rather than have them fight out the cases
in court.
Notwithstanding his age the squire still
follows the pillow, and is one of the best
farmers hereabouts.

AN OLD CUSTOM.

The custom of throwing a shoe after
the departing bride and bridegroom
originated so far back in the dim and mys-
teal past that the origin has never been
discovered. Some think 1t typifies assault
rather than good luck, and is a lingering
trace of the custom among savage races
when the bride was stolen and forcibly
carried away. In Ruth and Deuteronomy
are expressions suggestive of throwing
shoes, though neither are indicative of
any special good will or marked express
sions of good wishes.
