AGES OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
VARIOUS IDEAS AS TO YEARS

Special Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON April IA, 1909.
The French press In the midst Of strikes
and May day forebodings is busily en-
gagged in discussing the question at what
age q woman is most beautiful Some Of
the best known artists. playwrights and
literary women Of Paris have answered
the question according to their opinion.
Marcel Provost says that the age of alb
solute beauty in woman passes very
quickly but In Paris many women are
most attractive between thirty and forty.
Feminine beauty. according to Abel
Bonnard, the poet, is only perfect between
the ages of twenty-five and thirty. while
"a woman is always beautiful il she has
the beauty of her age" is the opinion of
Mile. Breslau, who adds, however, that
the majority of our contemporaries ap-
pear to forget it." Her personal opinion
Is that woman Is at her best between
thirty and forty.
Nine. Marni. the novelist. considers that
the beautiful woman's triumphal period is
between thirty-fve and forty. and Nine.
Dieulafoy declares for the years between
thirty-three and forty-five. Mme. Mar
celle Tinayre, the novelist. says that it is
woman's beauty In figures. Two women
born on the same day are not fifty on the
same day.
There is no age for beauty" she says.
.An roses do not bloom at the same
Woman's age for retreat has been put
back within recent years, according to
the opinion OF several distinguished per-
sons. The reason given is that women to-
day have a more just notion of their
value. The progress of feminist ideas
has emancipafed them from the old slav-
cry to husband and family.

OLDEST SCHOOL IN LONDON
ST. PAUL's TO CELEBRATE
4OOTH BIRTHDAY.
Curious Foundation P1an-Distin
guished Men Who Have Been
Educated There.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. April 24-Next month st.
Paurs. the oldest school in London, cele-
brates its 4OOth anniversary.
John Colet. a dean Of st. Paul's Ca
founded the school in 1900. At first 1t
was known as Jesus School. but the
name was soon changed to st. Paurs.
Today there are 500 boys in. the school.
though it was Colet's original intention
to limit the number. to 153. He selected
this particular number as being the num-
Der Of fish said to have been caught in
the miraculous draught, and he regarded
his pupils as fish caught up from the
troublous waters of the world.
In memory Of this all scholars on the

foundation scholarships on entering the
school-wear silver fish on their cap
and are known in the school as fishes.
The school built by Colet was burned
down In the great fire of London, and
was rebuilt on the original site on the
east side Of st. Pauls. In the old days
the education consisted mainly of He
brew Latin and Greek.
Until fairly modern times the school
examination consisted of orations by the
scholars on given subject. Some OF
these have been preserved In the school
library. One still there, dated 1904. con-
sists of eulogy Of Queen Anne in He
brew.
An interesting indication of the intense
conservatism of old English schools in
the matter Of education may be seen in
the fact that French was first taught at
st. Pauls only sixty years ago. Among
the famous alumni OF st. Paul's are John
Milton, the great Duke of Marlborough.

LANeOON CITIZENS IN SESSION
DISCUSS APPROPRIATIONS FOR
NORTHEAST SECTION.
Ask to Have Old B. and o. Roadbed
Made Into Avenue-F1agwalk
for School Children Wanted.

A stated meeting Of the Northeastern
Suburban Citizens Association was held
in Langdon Hall Friday night, President
L. H. Patterson in the chair and DR..
Charles w. Cuthbertson secretary. The
president stated that there appears to be
misunderstanding relative to the ap-
propriations made by Congress for the
northeastern suburban section Of the Dis
trict. He had copied from the District
appropriation bill the correct amounts as
follows: For Evarts street. northeast be-
tween 22d and oath streets. macadamiz-
ing, $2.7OO: for Mills avenue, macadamiz-
ing from oath street to Rhode Island ave-
nue.. $4.4OO; for Jackson street northeast,
grading and macadamizing, between 18th
and Goth streets, $500; for the further
extension of the northeastern intercepting
sewer from Langdon along Mills avenue
to Rhode Island avenue, $4,000; also so
much as may be necessary Of $4,000 ap-
propriated for condemnation expenses to
complete the sewer between Langdon and
the Eastern branch. He stated also that
the northeastern section was entitled to a
fair proportion Of the $1OO, 600 appropriated
for the repairs Of county roads.
On recommendation of President L. H
Patterson and after interchange of views
by Frank x. Higdon, E. A. NJ. Lawson,
]. A. Taft. D. j. Roberts and DIR. Charles
w. Cuthbertson, the District Commits
sioners were requested to improve the
old roadbed formerly used by the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad as an avenue
from Langdon as far into the city as
deemed advisable.
School Playrooms, Damp.
Complaints having been made to the
association about the dampness in the
playrooms Of the new annex to the Lang
don schoolhouse. the secretary was in
structed to call the attention Of the Dis
trict Commissioners and the board Of edu-
cation to the matter and request that 1t
be remedied.
The Commissioners were requested to
have tagging walk provided on Queen s
Chapel road between Douglas and Evarts
streets northeast for the convenience of
the large number Of Langdon school chill
dren.
The invitation Of the District Commits
sioners to attend the ceremonies In honor
Of Maj Pierre Charles L'Enfant in the
rotunda Of the Capitol April % was ac-
cepted and President atterson and Sec

FIFTH AVENUE AUTO SHOW.
Two Great PROFESSIONS of Motor Cars
ALI Day Long.

AL LAY Lung.
From the New York Sun.
"They say" said a man who himself
lives on the soil, that farmers all over
the west are buying automobiles and L
guess in measure that's so. You do see
them out there everywhere. I've got
machine myself. But. shoh! I never saw
automobiles till came to New York and
took walk up 5th avenue.
why, talk about your automobile pro-
cessions-here's two Of them, moving
side by side at the same time, one stream
going one way and the other the other.
and not celebrating anything in particular
or anything at all, but two professions,
just the same, one current heading down
town and the other heading up. and going
that way all day long; more automobiles
here than there are horses. didn't know
there were so many autos.
What got me was the way these
two passing professions of automobiles
with horses and carriages mixed in moved
and were handled. No single-file business
here, one auto coming along after another
as you have them strung out when you
are setting out to have a fine turnout
and make big show. Why. If these
two professions should set out to move
in single file they would never get by
either way, there's so many of them they
couldn't move In two single lines.
$50 these two professions move, each
column with two abreast and sometimes
you see three autos coming abreast.
And If one of the professions thins out
anywhere to one In line where an auto
has dropped out you see a mounted police
man beckoning to the next car back to
come on! Come on! Come on! To close
up the gap and keep the procession two
files wide, so that there will be room In
it for ally and SO that the procession can
be kept moving.
why, you stand there at 34th street

The First Lifeboat,

Some may be surprised to learn that the
first lifeboat. especially OF the style OF
those adopted at the present time, is still
in existence at Redcar, In Yorkshire. This
boat was placed at Redcar in. the year
1902, to be used as a boat "for saving
life in storms or other dangers to ships
coming into or near the mouth of the
Tees. It was built by shipwright OF the
neighboring port of Sunderland from
plans of his own invention, and par la
ment considered his work so meritorious
and advantageous that 1t voted him a
sum of G1.2OO as a reward for his time.

of newer types and better bo~s. 1t was

Prisoners Dock.
From the London Chronicle

From the LONDON CHRONICLE
Some survivals of barbarism still
linger with us. One of them is the
prisoners dock. Mr.. Justice Rogers, IN
opening the assize court at Goulburn,
Australia, advocated its abolition.
There was no reason whatever he said,
why men who must be presumed to be
innocent should be cut OF from their
fellow men in that way. Having to
stand in an elevated cage, surrounded
by spikes, was a terrible ordeal and a
serious injustice to an accused person.
Such was the influence of environmen mt
that the Archbishop of Canterbury or
the Lord Chief Justice OF England, II
placed in the dock of a crowded court
would Immediately assume a sinister
and repellant aspect.
