Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax I
The other day a group of profes
sional women weer discussing Lady
Randolph Churchill and her third
marriage to a young Englishman
named Porch.
And one of them, a physician, said,
"If her door bell were at the mercy
of patients, like mine, all night long,
she would not be marrying again at
sixty-five."
And the miniature painter said:
"Nonsense, being up all night with
sick folk is velvet compared to my
job. No woman ever has a miniature
painted ecept xto look young and
lovely, and they never sit—at least
to me—till they are forty-five."
She sighed, passed a thin hand!
over a haggard brow and said: "I've!
handed over every shred of youth
Hid—never had any beauty—well,
we'll call it appearance, to mv
sitters."
The woman who had written plays
groaned: "Ungrateful women, neither)
of you knows when you're well off. i
The most aging thing on earth Is
writing plays. You have to contend]
with the manager, the actors, the'
critics, and if theer is anything left!
to you or your play—the public.
I.ady Randolph Churchill never!
wrote a play or she wouldn't be mar-'
rying a third time."
The woman who wrote short i
stories smiled with deadly superi
ority: "Amateurs in affliction, all of
rou: the acme of woe is being told
how to write a story by a man who
would starve if he had to write one
himself."

war, and nursing was not a youth-]
conserving profession.
And someone else remembered
thath she had nursed them vefyj
long.
The group next fell to discussing'
her memoirs, which were published
in a certain magazine a few years
ago. At that time Lady Randolph
had been once widowed and once
divorced and the public regarded the
memoirs as the swan song of a very
interesting woman who had started
out on her career as a beauty and
wound up as a power.
But. bless you no, Lady Randolph,
then sixty, had no idea of regarding
her memoirs as her swan song. They'
were nothing more than a noonday
carol to her. She kept right on look-j
ing lovely, being fascinating and;
finally made the young diplomat heri
third husband.
By this time the group of highly
successful professional women, none
of whom had passed the forties, and
a couple of them a decade younger,
wore a resentful look. It was as if
the glorious Lady Randolph, still
having romances at sity-fiev, had de
rfauded them of something—as if
perhaps she kept young at their ex
pense. None of them knew her,* so
they didn't mind showing a claw or
two.
Someone said she always had
plenty o fbrains, but she never used
them except to be attractive. Then
the miniature painter said: "She evi
dently preferred running a beauty
parlor to a political salon."
The memoirs were canvassed again !
and it wa sdecided if she had not l
been a power politically, politicians!
had made a power of her. And that,!
viewed from any angle, her life had
been highly successful, and to all ap
pearances a very happy one.
She had had no money as money is
reckoned these days, something un
der fifty thousand dollars, yhen Lord
Randolph Churhcill canie to New
York forty-four years ago. He was
the younger brother of the Duke of
Marlborough and infinitely cleverer
and more popular than the head of
the family. Lord Randolph and Jen-1
nie Jerome met at a dinner in New
York, and in those days young ladies
used to have accomplishments.
Never Has Returned Here
It was said to be the understanding
and breadth witr which she played
a Chopin nocturne that attracted the
brilliant Englishman.
They married after a short en
gagement and the young American
beauty became completely identified
with the country of her adoption. I
believe she is one of the few Ameri
can women married to Europeans
who has never returned to her native
country.
But the profesional group, all of
whom showed the tooth of time,
could not make up its mind what
had kept this remarkable woman so
young looking. Was it because she
had had brains and had employed
them in keeping her beauty, rather
than in any larger sense? She had
never even gone in for fads or hob
bies beyond making the best of every
advantage.
An inuqiry then started if profes
sional women, with the sole excep
tion of actresses, were ever conspicu
ous for their beauty or their ability
to retain youth? And no one could
remember an example off the stage
where this was the case.
Moral: Did professional women
take enough care of themselves?
And an inswer in chorus, "No, they
did not."
The physician remarked if a wom
an's professional duties amounted to
anything she could not spend the
time in taking facial massage or hav
ing her hair treated. "But the men
take time for beauty conservation,"
the miniature painter said. "All the
barber shops now have facial mas
sage and electric skin treatments and
goodness what else."
"The men certainly take more
time to care for themselves than wc
do, women of our class, I mean, not
the sex generally speaking."
"Well, let them," said the doctor:
"when I'm through with a lot of
overstrung, nervous women who
have nothing especially the matter
with them I want no more feminine
fussing in my day. It' golf for me,
or a long motor ride, no rubbing out
of wrinkles or coddling of falling
hair."
"Well, what do you expect?" ask£d
tre short story writer.
"Not a third husband at sixty-five,
certainly, when I've not annexed my
first, at forty-three," said the doctor.
So they all sat and flayed to tatters
the subject of whether it was better
to take the alents God gave and de
velop them, or spend them in keep
ing young and pretty.
At midnight they were still dis
cussing it, and at 1 o'clock they had
got no farther than to agree that
every woman must decide the ques
tion for herself.
More Deadly Than
A Mad Dog's Bite
The bite of a rabid dog is no longer
deadly, due to the now famous Pasteur
Treatment, but the slow, living death,
the resultant of poisoning of the sys
tem by deadly uric acid is as sure and
inevitable as day follows night.

LIFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DI
By MRS. WILSON WOODROW
Sorrow comes to us all. Bereave
ment is the common lot. And we
manifest it very largely according to
our individual temperaments and the
customs in which we have been
reared.
The philosopher Bion observed
cynically of the king who was tearing
his hair out by handfuls: "Does this
man think that baldness Is a remedy
for grief?" Yet the monarch was
merely conforming to the proprieties
of an exotic age. It was once as
much de rigueur to sit in sackcloth
and ashes as it la to-day to wear
black sloves at a funeral.
In or<iinary times I have no quar
rel with black crepe. For myself I
have always eschewed it, yet I con
cede the perfect right of those to
whom the wearing of it serves as a
consolation, or who prefer to abide
by the settled convention.
But these are not ordinary times.
The great duty of to-day is to main
tain a spirit of cheery optimism and
courage, and so help to preserve the
morale of our armies in the field and
of the nation as a whole. The
mourners must not go about the
streets.
The psychological effect of mourn
ing is depressing, and the world to
day needs all the hope and all the
sunshine that we can give it. Let
us follow tne gallant example of the
W K°. me P ° f . En^lan<J . who, rather than
obtrude their private sorrows upon
the national consciousness and
scarcely a home there has been left
untouched—have practically dlscard
ed the suits and trappings of woe.
\ ery wisely our Government has
recommended for those whose sons
cr brothers fall in the service the
wearing only of a simple mourning
band bearing a star like those upon
the service flag for each relative lost
—a badge of hon->r and a tribute to
those gone, than which nothing more
is requ!ied.
Would it not be a good thing if
the same idea were carried into gen
eral practice? During such a crisis
as the present, does not elaborate
mourning savor almost as much of
ostentation and bad taste as an over
display of jewels or sybaritic lux
ury?
And, even mbre important. Is It to
preserve a feeling of confidence and
composure concerning those who are
on the battleline?
I would not for a moment mini
mize the risks and hazards and hard-

hope upon which they are engaged,
no Thermopylae or Little Big Horn.
The great majority will come back
with waving banners to receive the
proud and grateful acclaim of the
nation.
Certainly gloomy prognostications
and headshakes will not help them
in what they have to do. They
themselves are meeting the ordeal in
no such tearful trepidation, but with
eager heroism—a song on their lips
and a light in their eys—and with
unshakable confidence in victory.
There will be casualties, alas! But
there is no need to anticipate disas
ter, no need to stir the hearts of
wives and mothers and sweethearts
already overburdened with anxiety
by dwelling upon dangers and in
dulging in morbid imaginings.
This is a War for Civilization, and
Civilization is restraint. The nation
has uncomplainingly accepted the
burdens and restrictions imposed
by our entrance into the- "war, and
our young manhood without a mur
mur has subjected itself to the rig
orous discipline of the training
camps and the hazards of the bat
tlefield. Can we not match their
fortitude by curbing our apprehen
sive impulses and helping to main
tain a spirit of public cheer and con
fidence?
A young girl with a brother at the
front to whom she is devoted has
been trying to keep a brave front to
the world. Many a night she has
cried herself to sleep since his de
parture, but not even to the mem
bers of her own family will she con
fess how deeply she is affected.
Recently she was deeply hurt by
the criticism of one of her friends,
who told her that from her actions
no one would believe that she cared
wliat became of her brother. Fear
ful of losing the good opinion of
those she knows, she has written to
ask me if I think she is wrong in
thus veiling her true feelings.
I do not. I think she is a real
patriot, a worthy sister to that brave
boy "over there," and one of whom
he can feel proud. Wailing and lam
entation might gratify the morbid
interest of a few of her acquaint
ances, but it would not help her
brother In the slightest degree. It
would merely, if he learned of it,
ditsract and dishearten him from the
business in hand.
When will people learn that the
deepest emotions are those which
are least paraded? It is proverbial
that the husband who seeks to throw
himself into his wife's grave is the
soonest consoled. To paraphrase a
line from Petrarch: "He who can
give open expression to his sorrow
has but little sorrow to express."
