Women Must
Combat Age
with Charms
of Love. :::::

Copyright, 1915. Star Company.
As we grow older the natural impulse
seems to be to grow more. critical. We
call it growing more discriminating in
our ideas. We imagine we have a clearer
perception of the right and wrong OF
conduct. and actions which we once
passed by without giving them a second
thought we now regard as sins and fail
ings which should be condemned by
right-thinking people.
But let us beware lest we are simply
giving vent to very disagreeable human
propensity to find fault with our fellow
beings. This propensity usually follows
torgetfulness of our early youth. its
faults. follies and idiosyncrasies. Were
we to hear our own conversation repeated
in a monograph. the conversation in
which We had INDUCED in early years,
what amazement. humiliation and even
shame would envelop us.
Could We trace our early years through
filmy paths back to early youth how as
tonished we would be at many of the
scenes in which we then figured.
And might we not find ourselves less
critical Of the present generation and less
severe in our own condemnation OF their
words and actions?
II is especially unfortunate when
woman who has passed 70 develops this
tendency to criticise and condemn. Until
woman Is 40 she may. II she possesses
many attractions, mentally and physic-
ally. keep certain popularity and a
coterie OF friends, even II she is inclined
to be critical. and is quick to see the
flaw in the armor OF others.
But from middle age onward woman
cannot rely upon her physical charms or
her outward accomplishments to interest
and entertain the rising generation, or
70 hold her place among people OF her
own age.
She must add the agreeable and the
spiritual qualities OF love. sympathy and
faith. In order TO endear herself TO others
as she goes toward the westward slope OF
the mountain. She must have love for
| the creator and all creative things; she
must have sympathy for the weak and
| the erring. and she must have faith IN
worlds and beings invisible. and she must
have charity and patience and kindness
in her heart.
There are few elderly women in whose
society the young find pleasure. There
are few in whom men find pleasure Men
are like children in many respects. Men
like 20 be entertained and amused. and
however much they may be inclined to
carping criticism themelves they dislike
that quality in q woman. especially in a
woman who has no glamor of youth or
seductions OF beauty to blind them to her
faults
Time Is a marauder who believe him
self invincible, and he strides over the
centuries intent upon destroying youth
beauty and attractivenes. But n We
guard love. sympathy. faith charity
cheerfulnes. kind speaking and good viii
toward ALL We defeat time; we retain
and make friends. and we blunt the
sting Of age

You are not too old to start over In a

Anyone in search Of good ideas on
which to model dresses, wraps and hats
could find no better school of informa-
ton or instruction than that found In
certain Of the plays now running at the
New York theaters. Every one knows
that ever since that far away time when
women were permitted to play feminine
roles in place of men who attempted to
interpret those parts. the stage has been
as a mirror rejecting the fashions OF
the past, the present and even projecting
those of the future.
This condition is so thoroughly appre-
ciated that the stage has very often been
used as the medium for introducing new
styles. whereby some hitherto unknown
artist has become famous. There was a
time when less publicity was given TO
the designers OF stage costumes than is
permitted today. Now It is conceded that
the laborer should be worthy of his hire.
and the artist who designs stage cos
tunes has quite as much to do with the
success or failure OF play as the libret-
/ list or the composer.
OF necessity stage clothes are apt to be
exaggerated IN style, particularly when
they are intended for a musical comedy
or an extrava ganza. Nevertheless, they
always convey ideas for dresses that may
be worn by the average woman either in
/ the street. in the boudoir or at the opera
/ In many instances dresses are literally
copied with, perhaps. a mere change In
( color or in some minor detail 70 distin-
guish them from the stage original. This
/ Is not so much compliment to the ac'
tress who wears them or the des gner who
thought them out as to the taste ant
sartorial judgment OF the woman whC
sees IN them exquisite knowledge Of linei
and colors that she may adapt for her
self
Everyone thinks she is more or less IA
miliar with what the term ''pannier style
means AS matter Of fact, there is nj
truer pannier type extant than the littl'

WILL COOPERATE.

J. S. Murphy. immigration agent OF
the 500, brought a message Of in
spiration to the state boosters yester'
day. Few men know the state or its
agricultural possibilities better.
The 500 in common with the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific have
not sighted North Dakota in their
immigration efforts. E. c. Leedy and
l.. ]. Birckler both gave some excel.
lent advice and promised the heartiest
cooperation Of the railroads in any eff.
fort to direct the c~olonist movement
this way.
The meeting was opportune, giving
the legislators the best kind of an
opportunity to realize the vast oppor-
tunities of the state.
North Dakota never faced brighter
prospects than she docs today. There
were never more earnest workers in
the state willing to lay aside personal
considerations and boost for the gen.
eral welfare of the state.
The Legislature doubtless will deal
generously with the immigration pro.
ject and give the movement the prop
er financial impetus.
