COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
HF WOMEN BY 01 iii
OF THEM.
“One who wishes to grow old grace-
fully” sent to the daily pipers recently
a Very sensible plea for the restoration
to fashion of caps for elderly ladies.
She "Why in the name of
everything artistic ’ Were they allowed
to get out of favor 1’ It is easy to tell
her why—because there are no elderly
ladies nowadays.
'I.sl<1rl
A few old ladie; we have stilt—bless
them—~dear, sensible souls, who scorn
fashion and wear what they please, but
all the rest of the women are aggres-
sively young. There are no thin part-
ings to hide, no scanty locks to cover.
She who would have worn a cap had
she belonged to an earlier generation
new sports a shirt and a waistbelt and
rides a “bike,” as does her niece or
daughter. She is not elderly, indeed !
Nor does she ever mean to be, there-
fore, when her mirror, in secret coun-
sel, suggests to her that there are
defects to be concealed, she straight-
away purchasrs a toupee of the kind
that best suits a sailor hat. Of course,
it is a pity.
Woman loses in dignity by all these
little devices, butuntil she perceives
the fact it is useless to argue with her.
Words are vain. You cannot turn a
superannuatcd butterfly into a sensible
spinster ora respected widow merely
by pointing out to htII that she is mak-
ing herself ridiculous.
Unfortunately. too, the virtues of the
cap are superseded. It was becoming,
because it softened hard outlines, now
hidden by luxuriant. curls; it intro-
duced a welcome bit of pretty color
into the attire of women who consider-
ed dark gowns the only suitable wear;
but now'bright hues, and even while,
. z.
1
are worn by the middle-aged as by the
youthful.
' It was regarded as an indication that
its wearer had given up flirting, and
looked upon life in a. more serious light
than did “the girls.” But nobody does
that now, nay, the elderly women are
often more frivolous than their juniors.
It is not necessary {to enlarge upon
the discomfort caused by a lamp thatis
irregularly filled and improperly cared
for. Such a lamp, redolent of the
fumes of kerosene, is a most unpleasant
and unwholesome object. Good lamps
are cheap and there is no excuse for
using a poor one. '
It is generally conceded that the
softness of lamplight is much greater
than that of gas or electricity. The
lamp has now an established place on
the library table, even in houses light-
ed by electricity or gas, while it is cer-
tainly the general dependence of coun-
try houses.
The best lamps of porcelain, pottery
or any material that is liable to be
broken, are fitted with metal oil fonts,
which do away with the danger of their
being broken. All those who do‘ not
have these metal fonts should be re-
jected as dangerous.
Some of the new kinds of oil fonts,-
besides beingmade of metal, are also
fitted with valves that close when the
lamp is upset and prevent the oil from
running out and the flame of the wick
from spreading. An overturned lamp
is the usual cause of so-callcd “explo—
sions.”

Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams
of Manchester, Mich. Dtells how such
a slave was made free. He says. “My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alo 1e. After using two bottles of Elec-
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im-
prov ed and able to do her on 11 work.’

eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep-
‘essness, melancholy, headache, back-
eche, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a godsend
