Said a clever woman few days since:
IT have a very clear recollection of the
occasion when there first dawned upon
me the conviction that I was within tho
confines Of middle age. It was at party
, one evening and youth of nay acquaint-

after talking to him upon almost every
imaginable subject I saw his eyes wan

sort of feeling that soon prompted him to

I realized for the first time that I was

poverty. when she had retired to the

Madame Mars, a celebrated French trag-

was more beautiful and fascinating at s.
than ever before. Madame de Maintenon
was 43 when she welded Louis XIV. Nj

when the Able de Barias fell in love
with her and 1t is recorded that she re-

birthday. Diane de Potiers at So was
considered the most beautiful woman at
the court of France. while Cleopatra was
long past 80 when Mark Antony fell a
victim to her charms. and she held him
enthralled until her death 10 years later.
Helen of Troy was tver 40 when her
world-famous elopement took place and

NEW YORK, March 17-Edwin Cleary, who managed Pauhan s aero plane flights in this country, found more woe today through the proceedings brought against him by the Wright com pany.
 Cleary yesterday obtained an injunc- tion to prevent Paulhan taking from this country two aeroplanes he had been using. Today the Wright company in a suit filed against Cleary asks an in- junction to prevent Cleary from con tinuing to give exhibitions with the alleged infringing apparatus with or without Paulhan.
 Such exhibitions, it is claimed, will wear off the novelty and kill the public interest in aeroplane exhibitions.
 In addition the company asks that Cleary be compelled to account for the profits received by him in previous flights.
