Says Cynthia Grey

Balzac, great dissector of human emo
tons, declared a man was at his best
at the age of 90 and a woman most per-
feet at IS.
Every age has it own especial bless
ings, and is beautiful in its own way.
The young girl, just dawning into woman
hood, is happy because, ignorant OF life
and it's evils, all the world is before her
and everything is possible in the dreams
Of youth and immaturity.
After school days comes the swift
plunge into action, the girl begins 10
study people instead of things. She is
part of the life about her and no longer
a mere spectator. This, surely is the
most intoxicating period of a woman's
life, because whatever power sne pos
sesses becomes manifest and she develops
individuality and strength of character.
In middle age the vital questions of a
womans life as society is now consti-
tuted, love, marriage. children. have
been settled one way or the other. She
knows what to expect from the future
or thinks she does-which amounts to the
same thing.
Her position in society is pretty well
fixed, and there is little in her life that Is
uncertain or new. Habit has worn its
Old age brings peace and quiet and
healing But these cannot be called
happiness True, there is no longer the
bitter conflict of emotion to wound the
spirit nor the necessity for arduous toll
Perhaps a woman's most attractive
age is as Balzac said IS, but that does
not mean that she is the happiest at that
period in her life.
Those who like their beauty without
either wisdom or experience must turn
to the uniformed girl of Is to 20 But
those who prefer to be interested and
stimulated rather than allured will linger
longest by the side of the woman past
30
Putting aside the question of woman's
attractiveness to others-and especially to
men-I should say woman is happiest
from 20 to 30.
At this time she has outgrown the
Stiffness of extreme youth, she is still
fresh and usually heart whole, she is
deeply interested in herself, there are pos
sibilities in her life. anything might hap
pen to her, and the thought thrills through
her blood nothing can daunt her. Fate
cannot appall.
Naturally, she lacks the depths Of feel
ing and experience of the older woman.
If she has neither husband nor children
she does not have to worry about them
and if one man bores her she can send
him TO the right about and install another
in his place. Or she can rub man OF
the map If she so desires.
Not the wioe-eyed innocence and igno-
rance of extreme youth, nor the poise

Juvenile Court.

EARLY this week the pranks of little
Katie Dalporta in stealing $40 piece
as stated in another column, led to
the initial steps being taken to or
ganize or appoint juvenile court,
10 accordance with law passed by
the last legislature. This institution
was intended to meet the require
ments of the large cities. In small
counties like Amador there is not
much need of them. But it is made
mandatory to have one. and the ap-
pointment of the members constitut-
ing the court rests entirely with the
Judge of the superior court. On
Monday Judge Wood appointed the
following as the members of the
juvenile court of this county: A.
Ginocchio, Mrs Margaret Gregory,
Mrs Mary Meehan of jackson; Mrs
Johanna A. Nixon of Suffer Creek;
Allen McWayne of Drytown; Eric
Schmidt of lone, aud Henry Myers
of plymouth.
What this court is required to do,
or the scope of its work IS not easy
to understand. II seems to have no
independent jurisdiction, and very
little power. The superior court is
now, as it was before the new law was
framed, the whole thing III the com
mitment of juvenile offenders. The
mem bers serve without compensation.
1t is more of formal proceeding
than anything else. Under the law a
probation officer can also be appoint
ed by the superior Judge of each
county. lie is paid a salary, not less
Amador ledger., 1909-06-25

than $40 per month. Nothing has
been done IN Amador in this direc.
ton.
On Wednesday Katie Dalporta en-
cred the Notary residence on Broad
way, and was in tue act of taking
away some articles therefrom, when
discovered whereupon she beat a
hasty retreat, leaving the spoils be-
hind. Other places we're visited the
same day in like pilfering spirit.
Thursday morning four mbers of
the newly appointed juvenile court
gathered at the court house on the
case of this hayward child. The
members present we're A. l.. Nc
Wayne, Ii. Myers, Mrs Meehan and
Mrs Gregory. The child was in court
at eleven O'Clock, accompanied by
her father, A. Dalporla. Several
witnesses we're examined. The gill.
was adjudged a delinquent. The
question to what institution she
should lie committed was the

was not in position to pay for her
maintenance. Finally it was decided
to send her TO the Catholic convent
at Grass Valley-the parents belong
ing to that church.
The child started for her convent
home at Grass Valley this morning,
accompanied by Mrs Meehan. Katie
appeared delighted to GO; it had all
the appearance of a holiday "trip for
her.
The mem bers of the Juvenile court
drew lots Thursday as to the length
of the respective terms, with the fol-
lowing result ri. Myers, year; Mrs
Neehan and Mrs Nixon, . years; A.

father, A. Dalporta, he stated that he

Katie to the local moving picture
