Eighteenth Century Women Seem to
 Have Willingly Settled Down. :

Tn an English novel of the eigh. teenth century the author thus refers to a certain woman: "She had reached the age of 35. an age beyond which no woman can hope either to feel or In. spire deep affection" In one of George Meredith's early novels he re- fers to a character as woman "on the criminal side of 30" A Boston woman in the last century, after reach ing the age of 30, put on, over her abundant natural hair, a false front and cap. These were the outward and visible signs of the matronly ma turity she had reached. She gave up at the same time all the gayer forms of social intercourse. She confined herself thereafter to the mild and elderly variety. She had come out into Boston society at 15. After two years of social gayeties she had mar ried. At 30 she was the mother Of eight children. She had lived the ac- tive part of her life. In accordance with the conventions of her time she settled down to life of yegetating domesticity. She was not an excep' ton. She was the normal woman or her day, registering It's customs just as good thermometer registers the temperature e-Appleton' Magazine.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Although
the celebration of the centennial OF
the birth of Lincoln has over
shadowed the birthday of George
Washington, the usual honors are
being paid today to the memory of
the Father of his country. AS a le-
gal holiday today Is far more widely
observed than Lincoln day, since the
adoption of the latter day as holi-
day has not become general In the
greater part of the states. Wash

There, as elsewhere, the day is OBJ
served with exercises in the public

"DRY FARMING" CONGRESS
Aims at Making Arid Western Lands
More Productive.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 23.-More
than a thousand delegates, repre-
senting every state in the west and
several foreign countries. were pres
ent at the opening today of the third
annual transmissouri dry farming
congress in the Capitol Avenue thea
ter.
Although the movement to bring
together the tillers of the arid lands
of the west is only three years old
and It's formal organization dates
from last years congress, it already
ranks in importance with the ma
tional irrigation congress and the
transmississippi commercial con-
gress. The purpose of the congress
is the discussion and comparison OF
methods by which the arid districts
can be placed under tillage and the
natural rainfall conserved.
