The new woman was warmly advocat- ing the use of the title of “madam” in- stead of “miss” for unmarried women of what is diplomatically called “a certain age.” “It marks all the difference,” she said, “between the futile old maid and the self-reliant bachelor woman. A woman who is addressed as ‘miss’ requires a chaperon all through life. There is a kind of traditional helpless- ness about her that we can’t get over. She retains the air of the ingen no, no matter if she has seen forty summers and several winters besides. You can’t help suspecting her of. a. hankering after simple book muslin and blue ribbons, and you know she’d do her hair in corkscrew curls if she got half a chance. On the other hand, to. address a middle-aged unmarried woman as ‘madam’ fixes her status at once. It’s as descriptive as a biography. You know she is one of, the women who have arrived, so to speak. She is a woman of intelligence, possibly of achievements, certainly independence, either through inherited money or her own eiforts. You would know she required no chaperon, no matter what she did or where she went. The very title rec- ‘ognizes her right to as much liberty as 'a. married woman, unfettered by the married woman‘s duties and burdens.” The new woman paused in her argu- ment. “Of course,” she admitted, regretfully, “there are women who a: e born old maids, and to whom the title of madam would be as much of a misfit as if one called them colonel or judge. After all, perhaps, it would be a good thing to keep the title of madam as a kind of honorary distinction for unmarried women who have really ~--:ac‘hieved,something worth while, as a man is made an R. A. or an F. R. 8., you know. ” g @myll‘ec a/(gu. er Feminine Chat. To err is human and to stick to it is still more so. - Folding beds and bad pennies are'al- ways sure to turn up. Why is it that men always look at the face of a bride and women at her' Clothes ? Why don’t girls employed in match factories getzmarried sooner than other girls ‘9 . The only way a man can pick out ' the latest style in a milliner’s show window is by the price card attached. When a man calls a woman “an oasis in his desert life” he can’t expect her to feel complimented. N O woman wants to be considered “green.” The bicyclist who thinks she can loll back on her saddle as in a Sleepy Hol- low easy chair will require a surgeon’s Services before she realizes her mis- take. The out-of-town visitor generally has an idea that her city sister has nothing on earth to do but haunt shops and places of amusement from one week’s ,end to the other. The young woman who, contradicts her moaher publicly may prove her su- perior wisdom, but she does not gain anything thereby in the estimation of those who believe in daughters show- ing respect for their parents.

' It has a sympathy which those superabundant— 1y gifted in the Way of adipose do not receive from those of whom Julius Caesar called the “lean and hungry," but which is. bestowed in proportion to the necessity, by all and sundry who are of the more generous and volumin- ous proportions, while it overflows, even as the milk» of human kindness, from those approaching the Falstaman size. ~ Nearly everywhere these more or less unwieldy mortals have formed them- selves into clubs for common enjoy- ment, and it may be for mutual sym- pathy, and the comparing of notes as to their increase in size, for we may be sure, that though the outside world is very infrequently permitted to pene- trate into the arcane of these meeting places, a. scale is one of the chief auti- cles of furniture. Paris has a Fat Man’s Club, which is sufficiently designates the object of the institution. 'No one is admitted until he can turn the scale at that very ro- spectable weight. Vienna, too, has a Fat Man’s Club. 80 has New York, and so, indeed, have several other cities. At times, like the clown cricketers, the members of these various clubs show their agility and exhibit their bonhomie by festivities, in which they permit their friends to participate. Such an exhibition, indeed, there has been of the Paris Fat Man’s Club, in which these good people indulge in such “violent delights” as dancing and a. walking;.match. ': j . Early’ MEI-Riaies. The" faither south one goes, the ear- lier one finds marriages take place. A census was taken lately inAlgeria, and it was found that the youngest Arab married man was twelve years 91d, and that there were very many boys who were married at thirteen and four- teen, while some at fifteen years of age had several wives. There is a youth- ful Algerian widower of fifteen, and a divorced husband of the same age, Girls are still more precocious, and are sometimes married when only eleven years old. though twelve is the more usual age. There are 189 widows of fifteen, and 1.176 divorces of the same age. ——:‘r—_..arr.—‘ ... A Gifted Lover.
