IMPORTANCE or BEING FORTY.
Middle Age Said to Be the Right
Time for Marriage.

at present, though a man is. too old
for many things at forty, it is nofgen-
orally held that he is too old to. marry.
Far from, that being the. case. the in
creasing standard of comfort of, the
white races and the increased cost of
living are steadily putting forward the
marrying age.
/. A paper. read by DR.. Louise. Robino-
witch at the congress of psychiatry at
Amsterdam suggests another reason
for comparatively late marriages.
From a study Of IA biographies of emil
nent men, writer's, painters. musicians
and soldiers, she found that more than
80 per cent. Of them were born Of
m~iddle-aged parents. Napoleon, Ben
jamin Franklin. Coleridge, Balzac,
Rembrandt, Rubens, Sir Joshua Rey-
nolds, Wagner, Schumann and Schu-
bert were all the youngest children Of
large families, and their parents were
at least middle-aged when the genius
of the family was born.
This may not be a precise argument
in favor Of late marriages, but it may
encourage the hope in bachelors who
have reached middle age without do
ing anything famous themselves that
matrimony may recompense them for
their wi failure.

SHlBTCHARfHER
9 QNpIESS

This is the season of the party dress,
and we offer below a suggestion in
our illustration of one which for orig
inality of design and for simple grace
1t would be hard to beat. 1t is made Of
white silk trimmed with silver seduins
and fine white lace and insertion. A
large bunch of pale pink roses at the
waist and a pale pink ribbon. In the
hair give the touch of color necessary
to complete the effect.
Chiffon is again in great favor for
evening frocks, all the prettiest of
them being made in this material. A
charming effect, in trimming is OBJ
tanned with bands of velvet, cut on the
cross.
There is nothing, perhaps more fas-
cinating in the feminine wardrobe
than teagowns and the still more in
formal negligees worn in ~deshabille.
Created from almost every conceiv-
able fabric, from rich brocades to
chiffon and lace, in every color and
known shade Of color, trimmed with
everything possible from fur to tulle,
there Is no end to the expression Of
individual taste in these robes worn
in the privacy of ones own home, and
therefore allowing more scope for per-
sonal preferences.
In the recent trousseaus of the late
autumn and early winter brides there
have been some especially beautiful
examples of these indoor garments.
One in supple scarlet panne velvet
trimmed with ermine, and another in
emerald green edged with mink, and a
third in white lace and turquoise blue
satin with a touch of black %caracul,
are a bit unique, but nevertheless de-
cidedly, effective on chill days, when

HE MADE SOME N
How Champ Clark Earned Enough to
Leave Kansas Town.

Few people know that Champ Clark,
the celebrated congressman from Mis-
souri,, and also known as a lecturer,
once practiced law, or tried to do SO,
In Wichita, Kan. But he did, accord
ing to a Wichita letter in the Topeka
Capital. In 1876 Champ Clark opened
an Office; where the Pacific Express
company now is located. There was
not a great deal Of business for young
attorneys at that time, and Champ
Clark did the best he could to make
a living, but he became discouraged,
and, in time, left the state and re-
turned to Missouri, where he was
afterward elected to congress. He
met Kos Harris on the street one
day and told him that he Intended to
stay in Wichita until he had made
some money, no matter how much or
how 1t was made. Several days later
he was seen on the streets and he had
a beautiful bronze on his hands and
face. 1t vas the dark brown color
that tells of honest toll in the corn

Smoking in Clubs.

The question of smoking was a
burning one in the mid-nineteenth CEN
fury, and it was not until 1S45 that
Whites gave up a room to the users of
tobacco, says the London Chronicle.
And in all clubs the smokers were
relegated to the most dismal apart
ments. 1t was King Edward, when prince
of Wales, who broke through the ira
dition. and when Whites refused to
extend the accommodation for smok-
ers, started the Marlborough, wherein
smoking was permitted in every part
