GROWING OLD.

Is there any excuse for women
growing old? Of course, many of
the readers will answer in the affirma-
tive, calling the process of growing
old a simple course of nature, as logi-
cal as the undisputable fact that eV-
cry day is succeeded by night.
And they will also say, doubtless,
that there is no use struggling against
faith; that the wisest and most dig
nified thing to do is to bear the af-
Fiction bravely, resigning oneself to
the fact that room must be made for
the younger generation, so that its
members "also are given chance. !"
The opinion is not entirely correct
AIS it necessary to surrender with
out struggle, without even the slight
est attempt to prolong the day of
youthF
If so, what are you doing to keep
young? Do you indulge in exercise
so as to keep your figure 1.-the and
your muscles active?
What sort of literature do you in
dulge in? How do you keep your
mind occupied? Do you ever give
way to moods, or allow yourself to
feel glum and blue" without kay-
ing the slightest reason for doing
certain there is not one
among mT>teader5 whose conscience
feels. absolutely. clear about these
questions

serve youth, and to bar the aD-
breaches of old age?-New Haven

WIVES TO BLAME.

Biographers of famous men OF let
ters have lately been unearthing evil
dence that tends to throw the blame
of the shortcomings of certain gifted
ones upon their wives. This mas
been repeatedly done in the instances
of Byron and Shelley, and now we
learn, through three-volume collec-
ton of Wordsworth letters-many
of thers to and about Coleridge-
that the abortive genius of the latter
poet was due not to opium but TO
an uncongenial wife. We are told
that during those years when poster
ity has pictured the poet incoming IN
his study or monologuing to his
brothers of the pen, he was really
struggling" to adjust his impossible
domestic relations and giving the
marvellous powers of his mind to the
foredoomed task of developing IN
Mrs. Coleridge qualities of intellect
and of Temperament which nature
had denied her" The stultifying ef-
feet of this association accounts
it is said--for the fragmentary char
acter of Coleridge's productions, this
being proved by the wonder of work
he accomplished during the "miracu-
lous year" of his first association with
the domestically harmonious Words
worths, particularly with Dorothy
Wordsworth, whose letters are by far
the most charming in this collection.
The mills of the gods keep grinding,
and by and by somebody will be CIV
ing us Mrs. Coleridge's side of the
matter, as was done in the case OF
Jennie Carlyle-and another light
will be flashed upon the question Of
blame.-Home Magazine.

work, cooking, dishwashing, sweep

mental attitude bring science and art

not an easier and better. There are
continual advances in domestic

beauty with use. A useful thing is
not of necessity homely, even If it is
a bowl, pot or pan.
Find out the essentials and non.
essentials. Let such things as can be

think that because it is Friday you
must sweep the house from top to

AN INTERESTING PAINT TEST.

There Is a very simple and inter-
esting chemical test by which to de-
tcct impurity in paint materials.
Thousands and thousands of people
all over the country are making this
test. 1t is a sure way to safeguard
against the many adulterated white
leads which are on the market. Any
one can make the test-all that Is
needed is a simple little instrument
which can be had free by writing Ma
tional Lead Company, 1902 Trinity
Building, New York, and asking for
Houseowners' Painting Outfit No. 40.
The Outfit also includes book Of
color schemes for exterior or interior
painting, or both if you wish, and a
set of specifications. No HORSEPOWER
should make any arrangements for
painting till he gets this outfit.
One can't expect satisfactory
painting job without pure white lead.
There is a way to make sure you're
getting a pure white lead-without
testing it. See that the key bears
National Lead Company's famous
Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which
is a positive guarantee Of purity. Your
dealer probably has this white lead.
II not let National Lead Company
know.

When to Be Most Glad.

Has Christ become to lis such a
living, bright reality that no post of
duty shall be irksome, that as His
witnesses we may return to the quiet
homeside, or to the distant service
among the heather, with hearts more
than glad, more than satisfied, and
NEST glad, most satisfied, when most
sad, and most stripped, it may be, of
earthly friends and treasures?
Let us put all our treasures into
His hand; then He will never need to
take them from us on account of
heart idolatry; and if in wisdom and
love He remove them for time, He
will leave no vacuum, but Himself fill
the void, Himself wips away the tear.

HER REAL SUSPENDERS.

Might have known it. When,
years ago, women began wearing
mock suspenders in the form of cloth
straps sewn to their shirt waists 1t
was foregone conclusion that soon
or late they'd come to the real arti-
Gle. And now it's come. Suspend
ers, of silk of course, are fndispensa-
BILE to the late summer wardrobe of
the fashionable girl. They are not
visible, as were the straps that pre-
coded them, save through the liber-
atty of the peekaboo waist. They
are worn under the waistband and,
by an ingenious contrivance fastened
to the waistband of the skirt. Natu-
rally, being of the eternal feminine,
they come in a myriad designs, and
all are dainty. They range the scale
of colors and each hue comes in all
it's prettier shades. Gold and silver
buckles are attached to the feminine
suspenders, each with tiny diamond
or ruby or sapphire set in the exact
centre Maybe before long the more
daring women will wear them outside
their waists. After the sheath skirt,
anything may happen. - New York

sITFFRAGIsTS DOING WE'LL.

Women of Belgium were slow in
getting interested in the fight for
equal suffrage, but now that they
awe started they are taking steps
hat promise a quiet revolution in
political affairs in the little kingdom.
The first big victory has been the pas
sage of a bill that not only permits
women to vote for the election Of
municipal officials, but requires that
certain proportion Of the municipal
officials shall be women. This is a
gain more substantial than the noisy
English suffragettes have won in their
,ong and violent campaign. The Bel
gian women have been careful to
avoid all suggestion Of strenuous
methods, relying only on petition
and the forceful presentation Of ar
yument 1t seems the English suf-
:ragist might profit by taking leaf
from the book of her Belgian sister,
and that the American zealot also
might go to Belgium for a good ex-
imple.-New York Press.

Senatorial Temper.

A good way to tell the disposition
and temperament of a Senator, says
the Washington Herald, is to watch
him when he gives the three rings
for the Senate elevator. The rule is
when three are given, no matter who
is on the elevator or where it is 60
ing, the elevator man must hasten
the car in answer to the rings. If
the Senator who rings is at peace
with the world and the White House
he will permit the car to go to its
destination with the passengers. If
the bell ringer is a crouch, he COM
pels the car to be stopped, and he has
to be carried to his objective point no
matter who IS aboard or how much
hurry they may be in.

FAD IN FANCY WORK.

Some sorts of embroidery require
practice, no doubt, but there is one
variety that can be done by the YER
lest novice. 1t is called darning on
crash, and it ought to be popular,
since crash is so much used now for
curtains, cushion covers, table run
ners, work bags and a thousand and
enc articles of service or of ornament
Darning on crash is just like darn
ing stockings; you stick your needle
In, and go back and forth, back and
forth. AS the threads of the crash
are so coarse, it is better to have your
stitches run parallel with these, so
that the embroidery will look more
Or less like a part of the warp and
wool
The design, for a novice at least,
should be stamped, and may be any
thing one pleases -conventionalized
tulips across the end of table run
ner, or, better, one of those old
Egyptian or Assyrian designs. Flow
sr patterns should be much conven-
tionalized. Nothing is so painful as

WRAPS LIKE DOMINOS.

To see a group of fashionable girls
In their outer wraps one would think
a domino party was in progress.
Black, white and gray are the only
hues now permitted for the modish
evening wrap. Big roomy affairs,
easy to slip on without damaging the
tulle ball gown, is what the up-to-
date girl wants in an evening wrap
Grace of outline or dantiness of de-
tail is ruled out for comfort and
room. The most popular evening
wrap of the season is made of heavy
cloth, frequently beaver, with a soft
silk or satin interlining. Countess
Alexandra Won Bernstorf, daughter of
the German Ambassador in Wash
ington, wears an evening coat that
looks like military cape with sleeves
and hood. 1t is of elder down, lined
with blue and looks warm. Mrs.
Payne Whitney wears an evening
wrap that resembles a mans bath
robe, only that the cord around the
waist is of god and there is gold
stitching on the collar.-New York

TO KEEP KNIVES CLEAN.

A table may be beautifully set and
decorated, but unless the knives are
in good condition the general appear
ance will be spoiled. The blades of
the knives should be cleaned with soft
flannel. If they are little rusty use
wood ashes rubbed on newly cut
piece of Irish potato. This will re-
move spots when nothing else will.
Never dip the ivory handles in hot
water, as the heat turns them yellow.
Keep the best set, which is only used
for company, in a box, wrapped first
in tissue paper, then a covering of
linen. This will keep out the dust
and dampness.-Indianapolis News.
