OLDEST WOMAN
IN THE WORLD
Born in 1884, She Is Now the
Worlds Oldest Inhabitant
Without a Rival.

The claim of Frau Dutkiewitz of
Posen. born on February y, 1875, to be
the oldest woman in the world, is nov
contested by Mrs Bahia Vasilka, who
was born in May, lisa, in the little Bul-
gaTian village of Bavelsko, where she
has lived ever since, says the London
Standard. The record of her birth is
preserved in a neighbOring monastery
of the ORTHODOXY Greek faith. Bahia
Vasilka is the daughter of a peasant,
and worked herself as a peasant until
a comparatively recent date. For more
than a hundred years she regularly
worked in the fields, according to the
custom of her country. where women
are employed in all sorts of manual
labor. When she was born Bulgaria
was merely a province of the Turkish
empire, and the entire population
groaned under the tyranny of their
Turkish rulers.
She has seen innumerable wars and
rebellions, massacres and atrocities,
political crimes and political tragedies
She recollects with perfect distinctness
events that happened at the end Of the
eighteenth century; IN fact, the events
of her earlier life, up to the tine when
she attained the age of eighty, are far
more distinctly impressed on her mind
than the happenings of the last forty
SIX years. Bahia Vasilka lived through
all the crises of her nation, and now
reioices 10 know that Bulgaria is an
independent kingdom.
Her son. Todor, following the family
tradition, has also worked IN the fields
as a peasant nearly all his life, but he
has also taken part in various wars and
rebellions in the Balkan peninsula. He
is not quite 50 fresh and vigorous as
his mother, although he is still capable
of doing a good days work. The cold
est woman in the world is said to
enjoy fairly good eyesight and good
hearing, and She IS able to walk with
out support.
She lives on a pension paid her by
many Of her numerous descendants, who
number more tban a hundred She Is
naturally quite a celebrity IN her own
land, and people come great distances
to get glimpse Of this wonderful WON
an, who has defed the ravages OF time
for a century and quarter.

ENGLISH ADMIRE
AMERICAN GIRLS
Say That Their Young Women
Are ExCelIed in Culture by
Their Yankee Cousins.

The English girl. on the whole, com
pares rather unfavorably~ with the
/ American as far az culture and its ap-
plication are concerned, says the Lon
don Times. The country life led by
the majority of English girls renders
them somewhat dull as social factors,
even if it gives them that knowledge
of nature as a bIrthright which is de-
MED to the town dwelling American
girl. The contrast, in fact, is between
product Of nature with the most ar
titcial Of products of the most cup to
date community.
BY nature the American girl is colder
and less emotional than the English
girl and her attitude toward men is
one of unfailing good comradeship.
Yet at the same time women are con
sdered by the American men as a race
apart. who must be placed upon a
pedestal and propitiated by much at
tention ana many offerings. In a sense
the chivalric instinct is almost too
deeply implanted in the American man,
and in many of his ideas concerning
women he is. although he would be
horrifed to be told so, curiously me-
diaeval
And here again we come upon one of
those deep lines of cleavage which d.
vide the American ideals of womanhood
from the English. In England before
marriage the man and the girl see
comparatively little of each other, but
after marriage the common life is
necessity, and the woman must be pre-
pared to study his interests and to
make them more or less her own. In
America before marriage the man and
the girl are excellent friends and com
rades, enjoying much freedom in their
intercourse; after marriage the two
seem to lead separate lives. The man
is wholly wrapped up in his business
and the woman when her work in the
house is over devotes most of her en-
ergies to the pursuit of social pleas
ures In fact, they can not really be
said to lead common life.
To large extent this is the man S
fault. for he, as a rule, considers his
wife such a delicate object that she is.
so to speak. put under a glass case and
all cares and worries and even rightful
responsibilities are carefully kept from
her. She takes no active part IN the
mans everyday life, for she is often
completely ignorant of his financial
position and is absolutely dependent
upon him for every penny. The idea
of marriage settlement or a definite al
lowance is abhorrent to the American
mind, and yet, when all is said and
done. the American woman, with all
her independence, is the most depend
emit of women, for is not he who holds
the pursestrings, after all, the real
master?

the smaller box boots and shoes, petit
coats and undeElnen should be placed :;
in the larger coats amid dresses will lie
fiat. and on the tray the various sachets
containing odds and ends will find a
place.
Before commencing operations it is
best to make list of what is to be
packed. taking good care to run through
the whole of ones requirements for
morning, afternoon, evening and night
1t is not amusing to leave particular
waistband behind, or the skirt of a
dress; indeed. to jeopardize a whole
holiday of pleasure for want of a little
practical management can scarcely be
looked upon as wisdom. Having made
the list, everything necessary should be
checked by it. and when all the gar
ments are neatly folded up with plenty
of tissue paper in the folds, then it is
time to begin putting various things
in the boxes
Skirts should never be turned inside
out, for they are ruined by the process.
Naturally enough the ideal manner in
which to pack dress is to have a skirt
box. in which the skirt viii lie full
length without being turned over, but
it does not hurt to double over the
skirt if plenty of paper is used Bodices
should be stuffed in the sleeves with
paper; they should be laid back down
ward in the box. and then the sleeves
and front may be folded into the best
possible position. Nothing spoils clothes
so badly as to be packed too tightly;
il is ruination of such thin material as
crepon, chiffon, and all the various
transparencies of the dav.

LADY SERVANTS CLUB.

A club for "ladv servants is soon
to be opened in London. The main OBJ
iect of the club, according to the secre
tary, is to give such servants an oppor
turity OF enjoying the social life of
which their position often deprives
them.
People would be astonished, she says,
if they knew how many ladies have
gone into domestic service in the last
few years. Many of them belong to
distinguished old families, and others
are the daughters of doctors, clergymen
and lawyers.
The chief hardship in the career of a
lady who becomes a servant, It is point
ed out, is the lack of congenial society,
but she viii be lonely no longer. In
future she will spend her evenings out
at the club.

BROCADE BOOK COVERS.

Book covers of brocade are pretty for
the library table, and may be made by
cutting the material a half-inch wider
all around than is the volume to be
covered. Make a satin lining of pre-
ciselv the size of the book and overcast
upon its edges the turped-in-s sides Of the
brocade Ribbon pockets, one third the
width of the covers, are then sewn
against the lining side, a silver or gold
cording finishes the edges, and ribbon
ties are attached to the side. If the
cover is of plain corded silk. it should
bear an embroidered monogram.
