The Woman of Fortnight
BY CLYDE CALLISTER.
From 4s until "a is said to consti.

From 4S until 81 Is said to consti-
tute the September of a woman's
life, and the woman Of this age should
remember that days in this month are
clearer, brighter, often lovelier, than
those in May or June. In many gar
dens flowers bloom in more gorgeous
and colorful profusion in this month
after the feverish heat of Summer is
past, than they do before.
1t ought to be of interest to know
that Diana of Poitiers was 48 when
Henry II assembled the throne of
France. Not that any of us envy
the career of Diana of Poitiers. but
this never-to.be forgotten woman who
lived 400 years ago is a splendid ex-
ample to any woman of the prolonga-
ton of youth through wholesome
living.
Diana Of Poitiers was 10 years older
than Henry II, so that when he as
cended the throne he was 20 and she
was As. His love for her remained
undiminished, and when he died, IL
years later, she was still queen of his
heart, though woman of 60.
Here is what Armand Dayot has to
say of this remarkable ever-younS
woman:
diane de Poitiers preserved her
| fascination until the end of her life.
| The same might be said of her that
| Plato said of Arcgeanassa, Love still
| nestles in her wrinkles Like the
goddess whose name she bore, she
possessed virile activity, a passion
| for the chase and for all violent eXer-
else. Rising every morning, Sum-
mer and Winter, at 6 o'clock, if we
may believe the chroniclers of the
| times. she bathed her face and often
her entire body in cold water, and
after these additions rode on horse
back for two or three hours"
| 1t was when she was 4S that the
still beautiful Marie Antoinette of
| France was executed. Hers was a
| type Of beauty that did not soon fade,
| queenly to the highest degree.
"She was" says Nine. lie Brun,
| large. admirably formed and not too
stout. Her arms were superb, her
hands small and perfectly formed
and her feet beautiful. Her gait was
| the finest of any in France. She car
ried her head very high, with a
| queenliness which made it easy to
! distinguish her when she was sur.
rounded by her women of honor. And
yet this majesty in nowise detracted
| from the sweetness and benevolence
| of her countenance." After her i'm.
prisonment previous to her execution
Nine. Camper observed that her fea-
lures were not very much altered
But "she took off her cap and de
sired me to observe the effect which
grief had produced upon her hair. II
had become in one single night as
white as that Of a woman of TO-"
Those who saw Marie Antoinette
carried off in the death cart to the
| guillotine say that she still sat erect
and proud, with disdainful lips, her
hair cut short, her neck bare, he,
hands tied behind her back.
David, the French portrait painter
who saw her on this occasion, made a
memory sketch of this still beautiful
woman as she appeared during the
last hour Of her life.

Announcing the Engagement
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

the engagement before However, nc
one is expected to take such things
for granted, and it is a grave mistake
to assume persons are engaged and
talk as If they were before having the
word come from the families or the
engaged couples themselves.
1t Is considered a little passe tC
have engagement announcements for
mally engraved and sent out to friends
and relatives. This continues to be
done somewhat, but the fashion is
passing. A less formal method is IA
vored. Here is one way that is ap
proved by social codes:
Close Friends.
The engaged girl writes to her most
intimate relatives and to her especial
friends, and the man writes to his
each one telling of the engagement
and requesting those who receive the
letters please not to tell any one until
a specified time, if it is to come out
solely in this way. Or the recipients
may be asked not to speak about it at
ALL because the word is to be given
out at some function.
Such letters of announcement are
very much appreciated, because they
are taking the persons into confidence
and letting them into the secret be-
forehand. In the first instance, the
recipients are to help in announcing
it by telling others on or after the
time mentioned. In the second place
those who get the letters know that
when invitations come for dinner
tea or other function they may expect
then that the engagement Of which
they now know will be announced
Thnv h1 20 =,
know beforehand.
With Formally.
If the engagement is formally an.
nounced at a function, it may be done
in any one of many ways. One way
is for the father to propose a toast to
his daughter and her future husband
naming the man. This is a dignified
and felicitous way to announce the
engagement. If the announcement
function is dance, the girl wears her
engagement ring for the first time
and dances first with her fiance. The
parents mention the fact of the en-
gagement, not formally, but to friends
with whom they talk, and so the news
is spread. Or if the group at the en-.
gagement party are all girls at a tea
or luncheon, the girl or her mother
may tell them all in a somewhat con-
f1dential way, as if they were the
chosen ones to know first. which, of
course, would be the truth. Or the
news may be told in some unique way
planned by the girl.
Festive Touch.
One interesting way to announce
the engagement that savors of festiv.
ity is to have Jack Horner pie in the
form of a brides cake. Inside are as
many small heart-shaped candy boxes
as there are persons present. When
the write ribbon strings to the pie are
pulled each person gets box, which,
on opening, contains card on which
are written the names Of the two
young people, with the word zen.
gagged" above the girls name, which
comes first.

The spools of thread and the balls Of
yarn went in all directions. He
jumped up on the bed and pulled open
the bedclothes, but somehow this
didn't suit him. He jumped down and
once more ran into the upper hall and
from there into a third room. This
was the room of Farmer Browns Boy

lions as she discovered those sticky
footprints everywhere warned Cubby
that it would be just as well not to be
caught. Things had to be very bad
indeed to make Mother Brown angry,
and certainly there was an angry ring
to her voice now.
AS in Mother Browns room, Cubby
jumped up on the bed here and tried
to .burrow under the bedclothes. But
somehow this didn't seem to be q real
hiding place. Those footsteps were
in the next room now, and the excla.
nations of Farmer Brown and Of
Farmer Browns Boy, too, for that
matter, didn't add to Cubby's peace Of
mind at all. He jumped down from
the bed. intending to dart out into
the hall, but before he could do this
heavy footsteps sounded so near that
Cubby changed his mind. He knew
that Farmer Brown himself was close
to that doorway. Cubby's small,
twinkling eyes looked eagerly this way
and that way and every way. Where,
oh. where. could he hide?

1t was the voice of Farmer Brown,
and it sounded as if Farmer Brown
had reached the end Of his patience.
A moment later Farmer Brown was
right in that room. But though he
looked everywhere about the room,
and even peered under the bed, there
was no Cubby to be seen.

racing around 1t pellmell as fast as he
could go. There was door ajar just
q crack. He pushed his nose in and
opened it wide. It led into a hall.
Cubby didn't waste any time. He
scampered through the hall and up a
fight Of carpeted stairs. At the top
of the stairs he paused for moment
and cooked his ears and listened. He
heard Farmer Browns Boy and
Farmer Brown running up the cellar
stairs to the kitchen. He must find a
hiding place, and find it right away.
Cubby looked this way and looked
that way all around. There were sew
etal rooms opening off that hall.
Cubby ran into the nearest one. He
hastily ran all about, but there seemed
TO be no hiding place there. He ran
out into the hall again and into an
other room. Mother Browns work
basket was there Cubby upset it.

Cubby was a badly frightened little
