A Very Doubtful Matter
If Is A gtrnnce nml curious thins thai
fcvfcn tho most trutliful ot women become
vnsuely fdrgetful of tho passing of tlie
yearn, nnil rfftor ft certain point cense
eelcbritllnff tho nusplclous anhlverBary of
their birth nltogethcr. Uven ouch Diluting
things as prcnents and checks nml birth
diiy cards cannot tempt them to ntinounco
tho day of days, for they fear tho nvvlt
wrirdnesa of questionings, tho reminis
cences of contemporaries and such like.
Jtort, on the other hand, nro proud of
their ago rather than tho reverse. For
they look at the subject from tho con
mou sense point of view and arguo that,
after nil, the enrs bring wtadom-"r
ouftht to. Where a woman boldly deducts
the number of her years, n man will ,ib
boldly ndd them on. For of nil things ho
hates to bo classed ns childish or Imma
ture. "Xo woman Is worth talking to until
ho Is over 30," declared n very vvleo mnn
once. And, although his remark was
greeted with a chorus of feminine con
tradiction, there Is certainly much to be
said for that point of view. For it ottcn
takes a woman CO ycais of hfr to develop
her brain power to Its fullest extent, to
become matured In Judgment, balanced In
mind and sensible In outlook.
Many a man dislikes the youthful
period of womanhood most hcnrtltv, iind
would rather talk for hours to the
grayest-headed woman in the company
than have Ave minutes nlono with n
blushing debutante. "Sweet Seventeen
lias the brains of u rabbit," he will de
clare peevishly, "mid 1 will not vv.isle
my valuable time on her. Foi she botes
me to extinction with her childish view
point, her vapid conversation, her Biggies,
simpers, blushes, and above all with her
woeful Inexperience."
"While the foregoing scathing statements
arc a. little too broad and comprehensive,
Innsmuch as muny, many specimens of
Sweet Seventeen aro far from being tho
Elmplo maidens they would lend one to
think. It is true that the conversation ot
many a modern young woman is any
thing but original or even In an ordi
nary way Interesting.
But this la tho fault of the girls them
selves, and cannot bo attributed to the
brevity of their years. For too many
filrls aro today laboring under the delu
sion that what mankind particularly ad
n;trcs In femininity Is a total lack ot
brains. Therefore they consider that It

A Home-made Apron
for Practical Uses
The woman who Is
careful of her looks
isn't satisfied to be
well dressed only
when she goes out;
she wants to look
Just as well in her
own home, as she
does In the homes ot
others. The illustra
tion shows a pretty
little "working cos.
tume." This ts
simply a long apron,
which covers the
dress from head to
foot, protecting It
from dust and spots,
and a cap to match.
The material used Is
optional, percale or
Unene being the most
practical for every
day use. Many
economical women
make these useful
aprons out of dis
carded summer
dresses, which are
Just cut away In the
shape of the apron, iSr as near It as your
material permits, and the edges finished
oft neatly by band or by machine.
Any goods which are left ovef may be
Utilised. In various ways, such as making

behooves them to live up to this plr.iimg
standard of vacuity and the erforl Is not
strenuous. For any one, however bralnv
they bo by nature, can cultivate stupidity
until It becomes soconil nntuie.
But to return to the Intcicstltig question
of women and their nnes It Is rrnlly sur
prising how they shrink from giving the
talo ot their joars the light ot day. There
Isn't anything- to bo ashamed about In the
pnssing of time. I3ut you can't convince
a woman of that fnet.
Jlrs. Jones, for Instance, hits decided to
remain a gay and cheerful !5. She prob
nbly never will see 30 ngnln. but site con
solos herself with the fact that few nrc
likely to discover Iter "fciet for some
time, at lea-it. "A woman Is as old ns
she looks." she reflects optimistically,
"nml as long its I remain looking tho ,
that 1 Hsstircdly am not, my olllclnl age
to iv curious and pr.vlng wot hi will be 25."
Another curious point Is that tho sweetest-tempered
woman will become catty nt
once on the subject ot some other wom
an's nge' This frequently Is tlir nnl.v
(law In an otherwise perfect ehaincter.
l-'or Just let the topic of nse come up In
an assembly of women and sen what
happens: The talk and the buzz of gos
sip literally nils the room, and It Isn't
good-natured gossip cither.
".Mj dear," one woman will exclaim,
"do you really think that Airs. Jones Is L
2. the ago that she declares herself to
be?"
And n feminine chorus gtccts the ob
servation. "I'm ccitaln she Isn't!" Then
come tho witnesses, for It Is a regular
court-inartlnl, In nil but the fact that the
luckless Mrs, Jones Is absent front the
scene of her metaphorical slaughter. One
woman declares Hint her cousin's hus
band's yvlfo was nl school with Mis.
Jones' elder sister, uuri Hint It Is a physi
cal and logical impossibility for Mrs
Jones to be anything less than S". An
other declares that Mrs. Jones has been
man led for 13 yenis, and considering
that this is America and not India or any
place of that sort. It is highly Improb
able that tho law allowed Mrs. Jones to
enter the holy bonds of matrimony at the
somewhat Immature age of 10!
...
And so tho talk goes on, ns It always
will go on whenever tho topic of feminine
years Is broached. For you can't con
vince a woman that age is ever a. femi
nine recommendation!

It the lavages of business depression have

Is a small, well-tended garden plot.
Tho soli in your garden requites the
first consideration, as the money spent 011
seeds will be wusted if the soli Is hard
