IN spite OF her fashionable clothes
ana her aping Of youth, 1t was plain
that she was an elderly woman. Her
real age showed in her eyes, In the
way she walked and in a thousand
little curves. And then to see that
calm, round baby-face upon the old
lady!-it was unspeakably funnyl
But she never realized It at all. peo-
pie said. She was apparently en-
chanted with the success of the oper-
alton, and thought she was looking
perfectly lovely. But there will be
one good result from her ridiculous
appearance. Nobody who sees her
VIII ever want to be steamed
The face Of every woman is a his
tory or prophecy. Have no sympathy
with one who tries to efface wrinkles.
II she has lived the right life, she will
not wish to do 1t, for there Is his
tory in every line" Thus says wise
Margaret Sangster, and she is right.
A writer recently told a pretty story
Of a mother who said she kept her
sons in love with her by being care
full not to allow a spot on her face,
nor to let her weight increase above
certain figure, nor even to appear
In an unbecoming gown before them"
Now, this mother doubtless attend
ed also TO the higher virtues as well.
But would not the sons OF such a
mother be likely to choose their
wives with more regard to the smooth
complexion, the slender waist pre-
scribed by fashion, and the we'll At,
ting gown, than from consideration
Of higher qualities? And which
course would be the likelier to pro-
cure solid happiness?
A young man who recently gradu-
ated at the head Of his class from
one of the most famous educational
institutions in the world, remarked
to his most intimate friend among
his classmates: @Isnt It queer how
we all run after the prettiest girls?

wHAT WOMEN Wv N MnN.

1t is so recently that women have
been allowed to think, or expected to
think, that It is not strange that they
have not expressed themselves upon
the question of what they want IN
men. They have been brought up on
the philosophy, BE good and you'll
be married." and 1t has not been a
question of what they like IN men.
but what men like in them that
counted or was important.
There are many women, otherwise
fairly sensible, who openly say they
could not love man who did not
rule them. TO say that every man.
by virtue Of his sex, IS meant to be
the master OF some woman IS utter
folly. The need for q master is not
question of sex, but a question OF
the lack Of moral or mental stamina
in the individual.
What do women want In men?
There are women who prefer man
with the ability to earn fortune
rather then one who has Inherited
It. Being o good proyider viii some
times cover a multitude OF petty
faults in the eyes or women Obliged
to account for every penny spent,
Nor is generosity with money the

age in him, what she prizes above all
things from him are kindness, gener-
osity and sympathy.--Belle Squire, in

at the hotels dress than they used
tols said one OF the travellers. when
We we're there before one did not feel
conspicuous to go to the table d'hote
IN a travelling gown. Now, everybody
has TO wear a dinner dress. Many Of
the ladies' are decollete. And the

she added, "you can imagine that
they look like harlequins. They do

Eyes. She was, Of course, very
rich person, and, fortunately, she
had never had any children. AS she
is nearing sixty, she is naturally be-
coming wrinkled, which her vanity
could not bear Her husband is as
vain Of her as she is OF herself, and
he was as anxious as she was, people
said, to have her wrinkles removed.
She was told that IL she would submit
to thorough steaming process her
face would become like a bRby's. She
would have to endure great pain. She
would be separated from her friends
for at least six weeks, but after he
ginning It she must go through to the
bitter end, or else she would look
worse than ever. Il was going to
cost small fortune, but she said she
didn't care how much it hurt, nor
how much It cost. She was willing
to bear anything II she could set rid
of those wrinkles They say that her
sufferings were Undesirable. For
more than six weeks she was confined
in her prison, without any light, un-
able to read OF do anything to pass
away the hours, and all the time in
an inconceiyable temperature. But
she bore It herolcally At last she
was slowly introduced again TO the
light OF day. 1t was a fortnight or
more, they said. before she could stay
in the sunshine all day, and still lon
ger before she could be permitted to
sew or read, but the wrinkles had /
truly disappeared.
Well, she had been out for two or
three months when we came to the
hotel. and her face was as smooth
and fair as a baby's. But instead of
being beautiful, she was simply gro
tesque. People were coming from far
and near to gaze upon her. and you
couldn't see her without laughing |

STATE FIRE LOSSES.
Tables Issued Showing Them for Thir-
 ty-Six Years.

Tables printed in the Insurance Age" which give fire insurance figures for series of years, show that in Connecticut in the thirty-six years from 1871 to 1906, inclusive, the busi- ness written amounted to $S,509,395, 775, and the premiums to $S0,5SS,614. The losses in the same period were $3S,S10,936, making the loss ratio 47.5 per cent. The business written ran from s144,342,969 in 1878, to $401,- 669,12S in 1906. and the premiums had, as extremes, S1,203,161 in 1879 and s4,055,869 in 1908. The Connec- ticut losses were smallest in 1879, S442,306. and the largest in 1902, 3D. 427,979. The latter year had, with one exception, the highest loss ratio of the period in this state, It was 71.3 in 1902 and TIA in 1882.
 These are, however, small figures for highest loss ratios, when the rec ords in other states are taken into consideration. New Jersey In 1902 (the year of the big Paterson fire) had loss ratio of 113 per cent, the losses exceeding the premiums by nearly s800,000. Illinois, with its big Chicago fire, had terrible year for the business in 1871. Massachusetts in 1872 (the year of the great Boston fire) had loss ratio of 300 per cent. In poor California, in 1906, when San Francisco had its awful experience with earthquake and fire. the loss ra- tio was 1,013 per cent, the premiums of the year amounting to S12,561,700, the largest amount in the history of the state, but only drop In the buck ct drained by losses of $127,2S9,223.
 California until that experience in 1906, had been a state which had proven profitable to the insurance companies, and in the thirty-flve years from 1871 to 1905, inclusive, the pre- miums had exceeded the losses by more than s1oo,0oo, 900, the figures | being as follows. Premiums, slS4.- 615,572; losses, s75.e14,s96. The dead ly work of the year 1906 turned things around, bringing the losses for thirty six years to s202,s04,1s9, or more than s5,000,000 more than the premiums received in the same period, s1s7,IT7,- 272.
