FEMININE BEAUTY
Maturity Has a Charm Greater Than
That of "Sweet Sixteen"
There is a beauty quite apart from .'
.outh—the beauty of the mature wom
in. Some there are Who maintain
hat beauty does not reai'hi the zenith '
aider the ago of thirty-five or fbr'ty.
n a measure this is borne out by the
■venta of the antique past, whdcli may
ikewise be parallel with instances of i.
tur awri. day.
Helen of Troy appeared on the siceno 1
it the age of forty. Cleopatra was p.ist i
hirty when she met Antony. Aspasia, .
narried to Pericles when she was thir-!
y.*»i.\, was a figure brilliant in IKM '
vorld for thirty years after. When (
)iaue de Poitiers was past thirty-Six
he won the heart of Henry 11., and ho j
vas but half her age.
Anne of Austria was |
fhen described as the most beautiful;!
Rom an of Europe. Mile. Mar wias her-1
Ided as the greatest of beauties ait ;
orty-flve, and Mme. Itecamier wais at j
er best between the ages of thiirty-five |
nd fifty. Mme. de Mnintcnon was I
orty-three when uniteld to Louis, and'
Catherine of Russia was thirty-three
when she took her seat on the throne
which she occupied for thirty-five years.
All these women were world famed
for their beauty and gave tlio He direct
to that toothless old saw thait buzzes
the power of "sweet sixteen." The dew
•of youth and complexion of roses, it
must be admitted, sometimes combine
in n S,ace that is immoving, irrespon
sive, utterly la'king in the expression
'which goei to the making of a perfect
ly molded visage.—Bohemian.
TWO POINTS OF VIEW
Who Had the Happier Lot, the Lady or
the Laborer?
A Fashionable Woman, coming from
the Opera in a rosy nest of a Limou
sine, passed a group of Laborers at
midnight. Machines, like terrible Ani
mals, were burrowing into the Earth.
Steam ""was hissing as if from the
mouths of a million Berpents. Socks
flew in every direction. Torchlights
flamed. There was the thunder of
bor. The Night Slfift was in full

i instant thought:
How I wish ] had that brawny La
borer's strength and Joy of Life! 'How
I envy him his Power, his physical per
< fection, the wonder of his ' Manhood,
I his freedom from the Shackles that
bind me. He is his own master, while
: I am a slave—the slave of a Man I

At that moment the Laborer paused
long enough by the deep Chasm whore
his Engine rocked to glance into the
Motor as it sped by him. And he
thought:
"Oh, to be like her! To know Leis

from Drudgery and Toil, to come and
go as. I pleased! To throw oft' the
chains of Debt and Worry and have the
days and nights stretch ahead of me

But in another instant the Motor
was gone. The Torchlights flared
brighter than ever. And each had
forgotten the other.—Charles Hanson
