A woman's Age.

Seventy years young Is the clever
phrase that fitted well the birthday of
I famous New England woman who had
kept untouched by time her vivacious
interest in life and youth. Now that
women are learning that with them. as
with men, it is true that one is as old
as one feels-that their secret as well
as that of men resides in powers OF
mind and graces of spirit. in vivacity
and sympathy and observation-disclosures
and spontaneous affection and ripeness
and serenity-they no longer conceal Il
birthday like a crime or tell contempt
raries. who know better, white lies
about their age.
Silence or even deception as to their
years has been rendered useless for
thousands of American women by their
college diplomas When hundred
classmates know approximately the
ages of one another, the secret Of the
passing years becomes an open one.

LIKE OLD SHIPPING DAYS.

Three Big Windjammers Reach New
York Together After Long Trip.
Three large sailing ships came into
port Sunday short time ago-an I'M
usual number for one day, and an old
sailor on the Battery said it reminded
lin of old times, according to the New
York Times. The first to drop anchor
was the three-masted ship Avon. She

ndentured to the Dutch government for
1--WE years. Eight died on the trip.
While in the Bay of Bengal the Avon
ran into one of the worst cyclones that
Capt. Fox in his years of going up and
down the world has ever experienced.
For two days the coolies-men. women
and chlldren-were kept under matches.
They were almost completely shut off
from the other part of the ship and in
the darkness of the hold they thought
that death was coming.
A rapid falling of the barometer and
heavy gales marked the beginning Of
the cyclone, and when the storm came
the vessel was hove to on the starboard
tack under three lower topsails. At
o'clock the next morning there was a
terrific gale. sending the water flying
high over the bow. and as the ship lay
to before the wind great quantities of
water came over the leeward quarter.
A lifeboat and many of the ships sails
were carried away in the gale.
The Everett made the trip to Buenos
Ayres from Boston. taking there 1,S00,-
coo feet of Canadian pine.

for it consists Of merely a steel rod
that is c!amped to a table. At one
end OF the rod Is a movable arm that
may be adjusted at any angle and at
tacned to the arm Is a flexible steel
band that fits in the crown of the hat
and that may be made larger or smaller
as desired. One of the most trouble
some things about trimming a hat is
holding ii in such position that the
hat isn't crushed, yet firmly enough to
sew the trimming on, and there was
probably never a woman who didn't
wish she had at least three hands while
she was struggling with bandeau or
a facing. The hat holder does away
with any desire for an extra hand and
saves considerable temper and no doubt
a certain amount of time.

Daughters as Ho.tesscs.

II girls are trained from childhood
in the art of entertaining guests, they
will naturally fall into the habit Of
considering home parties and gayeties
a part of the daily life, and. what is
perhaps not so we'll understood, be all
the more popular for the reason that
they are good hostesses. To further
this, perplexed mothers have to make
some sacrifice; they have to give young
people the privilege of inviting friends
of their own age and assist in selecting
and preparing suitable amuSements
whereby evenings may be passed more
pleasantly at home than elsewhere.
