In 1909 In a lot of other specimens Of

that the plant was not sold for a dol

AMUSING TO WOEiEN TODAY
What Was Considered Proper in Mid
Victorian Days Seems Somo-
what Ridiculous Now.

In a hook written I'm d-Victorian
days concerning the proper manners
of well bred women appears the state
ment that a woman with graying hair
is hardly respectable without II cap"
and that the woman OF thirty-fve who
does moi don the cup as signal of the
fact OF her advanced age has some
thing of Il "maSculine aspect"
Such statements are amusing and
sometimes just little annoying-eS-
pecially To the woman of thirty-iive.
She consoles herself with the fact that
times have changed enormously since
those days and that now so long rs n
woman is slender enough to wear
clothes selected hy eighteen -year-old
girls she Is seldom criticized for
wearing them.
But don't delude yourself into think
ing that all women OF thirty-five In mid
Victorian days dunncd the cap of old
age. Empress Eugene wasn't married
until she was twenty-Seven, and she
continued to be regarded as one of
the most charming and beautiful wom-
en- I'm Europe for many years.
1t is really no new thing for women
OF thirty five, forty or over to retain
their youthful charms and change very
little their mode Of dress or behavior
as time goes on. Possibly our present
mode Of life. our athletics. our style
of clothes. tend more to the retaining
Of youthful appearance and real
youthfu!ness than did conditions OF

lakes and selling them to tourists. He
was also studying commercial engrav-

at Budapest Miss Adams discussed the
political situation with him. and was
surprised at the knowledge he showed
Of public questions. especially in the
field OF foreign affairs. Finally she
remarked to him: For an artist you
are singularly well informed on poll
tics" He replied. with IL smile: well
