MODERN SOCIETY WOMEN tWhnt Knchantmeiit, I* Often Awkfd, la It That Keep* Uliem Voung auil Truly Charming' There were seven wonders of an cient history. There are seven times seven in our own times, but the most wonderful of all is the society wom an, ever young", ever beautiful, ever graceful, charming, fascinating, and a marvel to all beholders. She does not grow old, she never- dies. She never loses her tact, her grace, her beauty. Like Tennyson's book she may say: "For men may come and men may go. But I goon forever." The doctors throw up their hands. They cannot solve the riddle. The beauty specialists shake their heads in silent wonder. The modern so ciety woman laughs scorn to the rav ages of time which lays its fingers so heavily upon all the rest of us more common clay. Ponce de Leon hunted for years for the fountain of youth and died in despair because MRS. WILLIAM ASTOR. lie could not find it. But the socipty woman has discovered it. In every city can be found these beautiful society women who are such a marvel to every one known knows them or even hears of them. In Chicago, with its fresh crop of blushing buds at the beginning of each and every social season and all of its lovely women who have ad vanced from the debutante state into riper and fuller charms, there is no one yet, debutante, young matron, or the belle of many social seasons, who occupies the place held by Mrs. Palmer. One needs to be told many times that Mrs. Palmer is over 60 to be lieve that such a thing is true. Mrs. Palmer has yielded to time in only one particular; her hair is snow white. But snow-white hair is be coming to Mrs. Palmer. It goes well with black velvet and point lace. Peo ple are not asking themselves when Mrs. Palmer will yield up hfr place as a social leader. They are wonder ing, indeed, when she will marry again, for she is a widow. Her beauty is the talk of the Windy City. Only a year or two ago her picture was published in a magazine as one cf America's "leading beauties." A "beauty of 60" would be a decided novelty —outside of society pale. Mrs. Palmer knows how to dress as dots n<> other woman in Chicago. The woman who is the tyrant queen of American society to-day is Mrs. Astor, who is 73 years old. No body who has seen her sitting in a box at the opera, straight, lithe, beautiful, glittering, would suspect it. Vet the records say it is true, fche is at the zenith of her social reign at this moment. So far is she from gray hairs and caps that her gowns and hats are considered the proper models for all the women of her set, young or old. When she wears a tiara, tiaras become the rage; when she wears green, green is the mode. Her frocks are cut like those of a woman of 27, yet she does not look out of place in them. Her hair is dressed in the modern fashion of pompadour and twist, just as the young matron or the slip of a board ing school girl dresses hers, for there is no age limit in t\.e gowning and grooming of the society woman. Other women mu.it adopt smooth locks and chin bonnets after 50. The society woman would look utterly foolish in them. The wave and the curl arc still hers to command at 100 if she wiil. In the coal block tresses above Mrs. Astor's brow there is not one thread of gray. The so ciety woman becomes gray only when it is becoming or smart. Mrs. Astor's chief charm is her smile. The youthful light in her eyes is one of iier attractions, constantly quoted by society writers. Dare anyone «ug- Kcst false teeth und spectacles? That would he ridiculous. The society v(.man nourishes without theiu. To day Mrs. Astor's life is fuller, more «etlre, gayer than that of the aver age woman of 25. To be invited to on* of her balls is to be socially "ipsde." Her power is fifty limes what it was (iffy years ngo. Her manner, her gruce uf movement, poise of head; her charities, her fet<- , ner comings and goings and (]<>lii|rs are all the constant subjects of nubile comment. She is spoken of an "Interest ing," "charming," ••clever;" hut the person who call her "a dear old thing" would lie beurd with shocked surprUs and smufceinent. Society would scurceljr •uuttirelitud him. SCIENCE OF PACKING. v«rr Ff" 1 Women Are Fnmillar wlbk It, Altbuuith It In a C'oniya ra ti vely Entr Tn«U. Before commencing the actual pack inn 1 a trunk it is a very good plnn to collect in one room anil in plain view everything 1 that is to h» placed in the trunk. You will then see exactly what you have to find accommodation for, and nothing will be forgotten. Something soft and llat should pave the trunk—a warm petticoat, which you may or may not require, is suitable for this purpose. On this anythingflat and heavy should be laid, remembering that only necessaries should be taken if weight is a consideration. The writ ing case also occupies this layer, and any small spaces can be filled up with rolled stockings and other small ob jects. The boots i.nd shoes, each in a hol land bag. may come next, and form a layer of their own, which can be shared with the brush and comb and sponge bag. Then linen and woolen underwear, between which any jewelry you may be takingcan>be placed; also your hand glass, scent bottles, or anything else of a breakable nature. The dress skirts come next, and should be folded at the hips, soastoget as much length as they can. Do not ♦urn them inside out. Jackets and capes follow, the former lying flat, on ■their backs, with the sleeves laid across their fronts. Capes should be spread out as much as possible. The tray is reserved for hats, dress bodices and skirts, and light, small things, such as veils and v.eekties. The bodices will repaj my trouble spent upon them in the way of stuffing with crumpled paper by e merging un crushed at the end of the jctirney. Over all the things in th ' tray a soft towel should be spread. Long sash ends, if attached to th* bodices, should be rolled up. and bow loops ought to be stuffed with balls of paper. Gloves are laid flat. If the hats are trimmed with up standing feathers it is better tt> take them out and let them travel fla'*. Veils can be rolled and collars packed inside of hat crowns. Do not. attempt, to squeeze you? things into a trunk too small fort hem; but, on the other hand, the trunk should not be too roomy, or the contents will shake about and run preat risk of dam age.—Chicago American. MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS. Widow of Confederate 1 I'reni.lenV 1.1% in inn MoileNt Wny In a \ew York I'MIN i 1 y Hotel. Mrs. Jefferson Davis, the widow of the late leader of the southern con federacy, is living in a little world of her own. She has taken up her resi dence in New York and for economic reasons will probably spend the re mainder of her days there. She has an apartment in the old Hotel Gerard, in West Forty-fourth street, and lives on the fourteenth floor, ller windows overlook the surrounding roofs, and only on few occasions does she ever leave her rooms. She walks with dif ficulty and does not have to visit, as her friends pay court to her as if she were a royal personage. Mrs. Davis uses a tall cane as people did 100 jears ago, and the head is of tortoise shell and gold. She has as a companion a sweet-faced southern woman who is always with her. On Wednesday after noons the famous woman sits in a MKS. JEFFERSON DAVIS. high-backed chair that came from Ueauvoir, the Davis homestead, and then she receives the long file of ad miring women who cull. These are notable gatherings and •there are as many northerners as women from south of the Mason and Dixon line. On these occasions Mrs. Davis wears stiff black silk, wltfi old iace at lief throat, and despite her j cars her w hit * hair is abundant and glistens bril liantly in the afternoon light. The companion serves l<-a and Mrs. Davl* who is a noted con versa t lonalis t, holds the attention of everyone uithoun an effort, ller mind is remarkably alert and she keeps abreast of the topics of the day.

Rural Free Delivery Service, Or ganized Ten Yenra A|(<>. \»w Employ** lIi.OOO Men. The fact that the farmers in a ter ritory representing 300,000 square miles of the United States have their mail delivered and collected by gov ernment carriers indicates not only the remarkable development of what is termed rural free delivery, but its broad and deep significance to the country at large. When it is re membered that this area comprises nearly one-third of the territory at present devoted to agriculture, and that the beginning of the present service dates back as recently as 1896, a more intelligent conception can be gained of its expansion. Yet the permanent organization of this department of the post office was not affected until July 1, 1902, when Its necessity was emphasized by re ports which showed that 8,466 routes were in operation, an increase of 4,165 in one year, while on June 30, 1900, but 1,276 routes were being served, requiring an appropriation for expenses of $450,000, which ill 1901 was raised to $3,993,740. Since the date of the permanent establish ment, however, the force of carriers lias been increased, until at present it constitutes an army of about 12,- 000, who daily travel over nearly 300,000 miles of highway for the ben efit of a population of about 7,000,- 000. — Review, of Reviews.

Anna C. dray is a young lady, for merly of Michigan. She is now a resident of Western Canada, and the following published in the Brown City (Mich.) Banner are extracts from a friendship letter written about March 15 to one of her lady friends in that vicinity. Jn this let ter is given some idea of the eliinate, social, educational and religious con ditions of Alberta, the beautiful land of sunshine and happy homes. Over one hundred thousand Americans have made Western Canada their home within the past five years, and in this year upwards of 50,000 will take up homes there. Miss Gray took her leave for Dids bury, Alberta, the home of her 6ister and other relatives and friends on Jan. 10 last, and after a two months' sojourn in her western prairie home, she writes of it as follows: "I know I shall grow to lovo the prairies. We have a beautiful view of the moun tains, and it seet%> wonderful to me to see home after home for miles, and it is becoming thickly settled all around us. With the exception of the last few days, which have been cold and stormy, we have had beautiful spring weather ever since I came. The days are beautiful. I call this the 'land of the sun,' as it seems to be always shining, the nights are cold and frosty. On arriving here, I was so greatly surprised in every way. Didsbury is quite a business little town. All the people I meet are so pleasant and hospitable. They have four churches in Didsbury—the Baptist, Presbyterian, Evangelical and Mennonnite. The Evangelicals have just completed a handsome church, very large and finely fur nished, costing $2,500. They have a nice literary society here, meets every two weeks. They have fine mu sical talent here. "Your friend. "ANNA C. GRAY." Itea«lj- for Any Emprcenry. lie—lf 1 should kiss you, what would you do? She- I never meet an emergency until it arises.
