EDITORIAL FOR WOMEN.

The Woman of Forty.
by Florence e. YoderD

Prof. Bishop, of Fordham, has come
forward with the statement which
should be message of cheer to the
woman of forty, who has come to thinl,
that her sphere of usefulness in life
is ended
DR.. Bishop says:
The life of a brain worker should
consist of forty years of preparation
OF forty years of useful labor"
Although this statement was used
somewhere else in order to show Just
where it applied as message of
nope to men of forty, this does not
preclude its use as beacon of Iight
to the woman of forty who has spent
her life in as active brain work as
many men.
NO more truly in her own, accented
sphere than in the life of a man is |
the woman of forty at the full bud of
her capabilities. For then is she truly
woman Of value and experience and
instead of sitting at home, a nonentitv

the World TOday
CLOTHES AND THE WOMAN



Few women realize that gloves are
made for protection as well a. for
adornment of the hands" says Lillian
Russell. There are dress gloves and
common sense gloves; there are prop
er and improper gloves. When l say
improper mean badly ftting and bad
ly put on gloves. A clever man once
said that a woman showed as much
character in the way she put on her
gloves as in the manner of her speech.
'lf you will observe the gloved
hands of women you will deduce to
some extent their characters. The
woman who puts on her gloves and
leaves little pointed tips to turn over
and get in the way o. everything she
touches is careless. negligent and un-
tidy.
Then there is the woman who pulls
on her gloves so tightly that her
fingers come through the ends. She
is of the pentrating kind. She will
ferret out everything and 60 to any
extreme to gain her point. She is in
clined to rush, and in her rushing she
does not stop to correct her mistakes
There is the woman VINO always
has the fingers of her gloves twisted
and crooked. She never will do any.
thing straight, she would go two blocks
out of her way to get somewhere when
going straight ahead would get her
there sooner.
"The woman who wears her gloves
she thinks it makes her hands look
daintier, is mistaken. A glove too
small pinches the hands so that they
appear like dummy hands. and an at
tempt to touch anything is ridiculous.
Such a woman is weak-minded.
There is the strong-minded woman
who wears gloves several sizes too
large for her. She is masculine.
There is another class of woman
who wears no gloves at all. Not be
cause she can't afford gloves, but be-
cause she wishes to harden her hands
to the elements. Such woman would
risk pneumonia by exposing her throat
in snowstorm.
Gloves are sort of blessing for
the comfort they give. and a decora-
ton to a woman's toilet when worn
correctly. 1t takes no more time to
put glove on right than to put it on
wrong. and there is little excuse for
badly fitting glove.
There is positively no excuse for
colored gloves, other than gray or tan.
The woman who would wear blue or
pink gloves would paint her cheeks
green and her nose blue if she was
told it was fashionable so to do. The
well-groomed woman wears white
gloves for evening, pale tan, gray or
white for afternoon, tan for morning
or for motoring and black only for
deep mourning. Nothing would in.
duce her to wear colored gloves. Were
you to ask In Paris shop for pink,
red. green, or blue gloves, you would
be laughed at. They never make
them"

SECURITY DEMANDED
FOR AMERICAN SHIPS
Does Not Regard IAN Opportunity TO
Escape in Life Boats" Suff'cient
Safety for Americans.

Observation-Disclosures Monday OF
the text of the latest note sent by the
United States to Germany In the case
of the American ship William P. Frye
reveals that the United States does
not regard IAN opportunity to escape
in lifeboats" as sufficient safety for
Messengers and crew of any American
vessel destroyed when carrying con-
traband.
In the note, which is dated October
IL, Secretary Lansing expressed sat
isfaction that Germany agreed to the
American proposal for joint commits
sion of experts to fix damages for the
loss of the Frye sunk by the commerce
raider Prinz Eitel Friedrich, and con-
ours in the suggestion from Berlin
that it is not necessary to appoint an
umpire in advance.
In agreeing to submit to arbitration
differences which have arisen over the
Interpretation of the Prussian-Amerl-
can treaty of 1928 the United States
pIaces on record it's understanding
that no rights are waived in the inter
val. Germany already has given as
surances that, pending arbitration,
American ships carrying conditional
contraband will not be molested, but
since practically every commodity OF
importance has been made absolute
contraband, the value of the assur-
ances is regarded by officials as com
paratively small.
The American government holds
that the treaty of 1928 does not per-
nit the destruction under any circum'
stances OF American vessels carrying
contraband of any character and in Its
note insists that while arbitration Is
in progress more security than Is al
forded in lifeboats should be given tc
passengers and crews on American
vessels which the German naval com
manders may deem it necessary to de
stroy for carriage of absolute contra
band.

Gamblers Superstitions.

The tiger is the god OF the gambler
in China, and a tigers tooth is regard
ed as a talisman for good luck IN
speculation and in games of chance,
while the claws and whiskers are
worn as love-charms, and for success
and good fortune generally.
Pigs are also considered lucky, and
-bringers in the shape OF little
pigs made of gold and silver are worn
to attract fortunes favors; but the
black cat, which, in our own country.
