A Woman of Forty Summers—
From the Jennes* Miller Monthly.
Full of outline and fair of face,
Swinging her fan with languid grace,
White arms gleaming through folds of
lace,
A woman of *or?y summers.
No thread of white in the auburn hair.
No line of in the forehead fair,
A life unmarred by touch of care.
In spite of h* r forty summers.
\ husband-lover and children sweet.
Pleasures to charm and friends to greet.
Hoses scattered before hr f^et.
Through each of forty summers.
Summers all. for winters bold
Have snatched her sunshine, and made her
cold;
Hav* killed her and left her old;
Nothing sh“ knows but summers.
*
Of freezing air and tempests loud.
Of snows that weave for hope a. shroud;
Her life has been only summers.
So calm she sits in the balmy air.
♦Co sorrows to fret, no cross to bear,
A summer idyl, p vision fair.
This woman of forty summers.
Vet cold and blast blit make us strong.
After the snow the robin’s song;
To the fullest life by right belong
The w inters as well as summers.
And they whom fame shall carve in stone
The women whom men would fain en
throne.
The women whom Clod has stamped His
own,
Live w inters as well as summers.
Sara J. Underwood.
The Chicago Evening Post tells of a
dream a. society young woman had the
other night after attending a swell wed
ding. She dreamed she picked up a paper
and read this account, which was dated
Jan. 2L 1920:
"The bride looked well in the conven
tional wedding gown of the usual white
satin, but all eyes were centered on the
groom. His suit of dark cloth fitted per
fectly the manly form, a large button
nlere ornamented his coat lapel and in h’s
daintily gloved hand he carried a bunch of
flowers. His hair was cut in the very
latest style, and the delicately scented oil,
which plastered it in place, left a dainty
perfume in the air as he passed. The girls
all envied the bride for carrying off such
a prize, and he will be sadly missed, now
that he is married. Hi is most popu
lar in society, his many accomplishments,
his tender graces and winning ways hav
ing won him many friends. He has done
well in his marriage, as the bride Is
mayor of a western town, before which
time she drew a good salary as a brewer’s
.agent. He will, therefore, miss none of
the luxuries to which he is accustomed. A
crowd of pretty and attractive young men
showered the couple with rose petals as
they drove away.”
The words. “Reserve the cots for the
two most uninteresting babies" always
accompany the check Miss Helen Oould
sends each year for the support of two
beds in the Rabies* Shelter connected
with the church ‘of the Holy Commun
ion, in this city, says Harper’s Bazar.
She is especially interested in hospitals
for children and In day nurser’es, and
likes to take under her particular charge
the little ones whom others would be
likely to find unattractive. At her lovely
home of Lyndhurst, at Irvington-on-the-
Hudson, where Miss Gould lives most of
the time, she has each Saturday morning
a sewing class of little girls, the children
of the workmen on her place. The gates
of Lyndhurst always stand open, except
on Sunday, and any one may enter and
make the round of the grounds and the
extensive greenhouses.
A peculiarity of the American women,
says Ward McAllister, in the New York
World, which has been adversely com
mented on is our nervousness and want
of repose. This is true, for we are an
energetic, nervous, active people, but this
has its compensation, for our women are
vivacious, sprightly and witty, not pon
derous, heavy, and stupid like manv Eng
lish ladle* of ran*. To my mind th*- Amer
ican woman stand.*) far hej ond all her
sisters in every quality that is desirable in
woman.
American society, even if some cavil
lers call it shoppy and commercial, is
the purest in the world. Notoriously im
moral persons have always been excluded
and shunned by our fashionable ladies,
and I could point to many instances
where men otherwise rich, young and at
tractive have been ostracised simply be
cause they had contracted relations not
approved of by watchful mothers, who
were determined to uphold -.heir moral
tone of society and protect their young
and innocent daughters from contact with
! roues, either old or young.
This is not the custom in England,
for many a rich young lord is eagerly
: sought after by designing niothehi even
I w! ,en their moral delinquencies are well
i known We have some business men and
shopkeepers In our inner circles-some
men who. perhaps, arc not as cultured
! as we might wish them to be. but we are
i entirely free from that dissolute spend
-1 thrift class of genteel young debauchee*
! and gamblers w ho are found In the highest
l so-dev in every European capital, and I
trust that the high qualities now preva
lent here will always eool.nue. It re
mains with our ladies to insist upon it.

A funny story is told of a well known
woman of society, says the New* York
rrlbime, who accepted an invitation to
an out-of-tewn luncheon party. By
sotns mischance she missed the train;
but justly iV'ling that she was the bright
particular star of th-- ocacsion, and that
nobles*?.* oblige." she concluded to take
*~*n hat started later rather Than dis
appoint her friends. Arriving at the sta
tion she found no one to meet her. her
hostess not imagining for an instant
that she would wait an hour in th* cold
and come by a later train. So she forth
with engaged the service* of a cabby
to take her to her destination.
It so happened that that worthy had
been told to look out for anew yook, w ho
was expected tu arrive that afternoon;
so when u portly' personage enveloped in
several la>ers of wraps asked if he could
drive her to Mrs. B.’s, he naturally con
cluded that she was th* 1 person in ques
tion. and saying genially, "Oh. yis. shure
you re the woman I’m waitin’ or," he
assisted her into his rickety vehicle and
drove off at a break-neck pace. Mrs.
X.. who is a very grand personage In -
accustomed to be treated with the
greatest consideration, arid who is rather
"low in absorbing anew idea, particularly
where it aff*<' her own dignity, was
! ntti<*h puzzled over this extraordinary
tnann r of meeting her. Nor was her
, amazement lessened when she was driven
i Tip to the kitchen entrance of a large
hous* , and her Jehu, jumping out and
knocking at the door, called out some
thing to the people within that she did
not catch.
A good natured-looking young footman
ran out, and saying, "Glad you’re come,
cookie.” to Mrs. X., paid th* driver, who
was off before the horrified lady could
collect her scattered senses. "Come, old
lady,” continued the irrepressible youth,
"come and see how you like your new
quarters.” But here Mrs. X. collected
herself.
"There has been some mistake," she
said with great dignity. "Tell your mis
tress that Mrs. X. missed the train. I
think she would prefer to hav * you show
me into the drawing-room,’ continued
the offended matron, with awe-inspiring
majesty. So into the drawing room she
was tak* n. through the kitchen, servants*
dining-room ami laundry, while poor Mrs.
B.’s mortification on learning of the re
ception of her most honored guest may
be more easily imagined than described.
Sometimes Mrs. Lynn Linton says such
wise things that the lover of humanity
wishes they might he printed and posted
in conspicuous places all the world over.
Some of her recent utterances on the art
i of "keeping alive" are among those. Mrs.
Linton does not believe that any good
things, from life itself down, can exist
without special effort on the part of the
j person to whom they are Intrusted. Busi
ness dies without care. Health disappears
i unless precautions are taken to keep It. In
tellect is dwarfed and starved without
1 food. And even those finest and most
i elusive possessions—-love and friendship
need cart* and nourishment if they are to
• live.
"Too many,” says Mrs. Linton, "sup
■ pose that a love once confessed and con
solidated needs never more expression—
that friendship once knitted up will last
I forever without care to keep the loops
1 from ’running' and the threads from loos
ening. No greater error, and none more
i disastrous to happiness, can exist. Love
1 and friendship need as much care to keep
alive as that greenhouse flower we spoke
of before, or the business w hich lives by a
man’s exertions and dies by his neglect.
How often young married people blunder
in this, and. taking marriage to mean per
i adamantine stability, neglect the sim
plest precautions to insure continuance!
At home w ith each other as they are, sure
of each other’s affection as they are, they
put no restraint, on themselves, but ‘let
themselves go’ In speech, habits temper,
appearance, as all of minor importance
where the main thing, their love, is all
| right. She, in a crumpled dressing gown
w ith untidy Hair and discolored hands—he
j in broken slippers, and shabby coat tin
brushed, unshaven, unkempt—and both
unappetizing to the last degree; this begins
; the first process of degradation. She,
* peevish and discontented over small mat
; ters, whereof, were she wise, he would
never have heard the very echo—he, pre
occupied, snappish, unsympathetic; and
; both without self-restraint or reticence;
j this begins the second process of disinte
gration. But they come together again
after their littl** tiffs, and in the beginning
of things the old proverb about the quar
j rels of lovers holds good—but only in the
| beginning of things. By degrees that com
ing together isi slacker, and the elasticity
of recovery is losing daily. The love that
is between them begins to die for want of
i keeping alive by care, and soon the sor
-1 rowful tense is changed and for Ms’ we read
J ‘was.’
"So with friendship, which indeed re
quires as much tact and care to keep alive
as love itself, being in its essence love
i without the passion that inflames that
■ other form. Two friends have all faith
aim confidence in * h other. That does
not excuse the neglect by which one, we
w ill say the younger, tries the stability of
the elder’s affection. Letters left long un
-1 answered or but scantily replied to when
acknowledged—reticence over those pleas
ant little occurrences of daily life which
keep th* interest active, and which seems
when told to bring the two parted spheres
into closer contact together—in a word,
neglect, though only in small and trivial
matters, as surely kills the sw ? eet growth
of friendship .s personal neglect and un
j restrained tempers kill that of love. For
nothing on earth is immortal and nothing
is unchangeable. No affection that lives
in the human breast is indestructible, and
i yen the mother’s love can be chilled,
; alienated and destroyed If this be so
j with the most intense, the most deeply
rooted of all, how' much more then will
others which are in a manner what may
j pc called growths of super-imposition—
something that come? after and upon
I the more purely instinctive and prototypi
! cal? No! Friendship and love have to he
kept alive by a little care, a little atten
tion to details, a littl* self-restraint, keep
ing one back from an ungainly amount of
i self-indulgence.”
• Those are wis** words, says th** New
York World, and friends and lovers every
where will do well to read, mark, learn
and inwardly digest them.
The craze now, says Ward McAllister In
the New Y’ork World, is to be "chic," or.
a** •hey say in Englan 1. "smart.” Old
family. Intelligence, beauty, profesaftorai
or business proninen e. :reat w ealth, ex
cellence in conversation and distingue
manners are all very well and are consider
able assistance to or who starts out in
the social race, but th a>l fail unless
you are also "smart” in dress, manners
and habits.

horses, the smartest coachmen and

who can cook a perfect dinner, th* dry
est, best champagne, t . flr**t sherries,
old Chateau claret. Burgundy, and a

These are the qualities that insun* suc
! cess, but we should perhaps empasize
the necessity of attention to dress, es
pccially in the case of a woman, who**
garments, with the ox-**ption of her ri l
ing habit, must come from one of tire

In I’aris we sec* the most "chi* ” women
of the monde and the demi-monde com

! French woman, however well dressed she
i may be, is rarely beuutiful according to

The German woman i.- usually "heefv
and healthy,” but the most ill-dressed

! surprised that ladles of the arisiocra. >
\ there present such a bourgeois look. The
women of Italy are lovely, with flue, dark
complexions, red cheek* and magnificent
i womanly figures, but without th*; good
taste in dress that seems to b* the natural
instinct of the French. Austrian and

in Denmark. Sweden Norway there
are many blonde women of great attrac
tiveness. but many of them have a "pep
pery” disposition, and strange to say. im
morality is said to exist there to a great
extent.
In recounting the charming women of the
world, we must not omit to mention the
Japanese, who seem lo fascinate all tou
rists by their amiable and innocent ways.
When young they are very pretty, and
tin ir slanting black eyes and rosy cheeks
arc considered very attractive. After all,
j however. I think for American men
there are no women so charming and fas
cinating us ours, and none so pure, ho
, good and so true.
It has been often said .by foreigners
that we all have a nasal twang when we
speak, and that this peculiarity is more
pronounced In American ladles than in the
men. Perhaps theie is some truth in this
criticism, for at an afternoon tea-party
the ladles certainly pitch their voices
very high, and In some Instances it be
comes a nasal shriek, which is extremely
unpleasant. However, many of our young
girls, those who are just shout making
their bow in the fashionable world, have
attended to voice culture, and the modu
lation and tone is. J think, far more at
tractive than the harsh and abrupt tone
of the English women. If it were possible
for us to pronounce our language with
the soft intonation that the Italians give
to their beautiful tongue, how delightful
it would be, for Italian i conceded to be
the language for music and song.
THE BABY OVER THE WAY.
Across In my neighbor’s w indow,
With its folds of satin and lace.
I se*\ with its crown of ringlets.
A baby’s innocent face.
The throng in the street look upward.
And every one, grave and gfly.
Has nod and a smile for the baby
In the mansion over the way.
Just here in my cottage window.
His chin in his dimpled hands.
And a patch on his faded apron.
The child that 1 live for stands
He has kept my heart from breaking
For many a weary day;
Ami his face is as pure and handsome
As the baby’s over the w r ay.
Sometimes when we sit together,
My grave little man of three
Sore vexes me with the question:
"Does God, up in heaven, like me?*' 1
And I say; "Y es, yes, my darling ’
Though I almost answer "Nay.”
As I see th** nursery candles
In the mansion over the way.
And oft when I draw the stockings
From his little tiled feet.
And loosen the clumsy garments
From his limbs, so round and sweet,
I grow too bitter for singing,
My h**art too h**avy to pray.
As I think of the dainty raiment
Of the baTy over the way.
**••••
O God in heaven forgive me
For all I have thought and said!
My envious heart Is humble*];
My neighbor’s baby is dead!
I saw' the litrle w hite coffin
As they carried it out to-day.

THEY WERE BOI'ND TO GET THERE.
A Railroad Officials Story of Two Eng
lish Lads Who Were in a Hurry.
From tii*- N* w Y*ork Sun.
"The English tourist N oft*-ti a sur
prising p* rson," N.iid a railroad official,
"and I have frequentlj hud cause to
wonder at him. Some time ago 1 bad an
experience with two English tourists that
was out of the ordinary. I was in a large
western city in charge of the passenger
business of a trail:--continental railroad
whn h ran two special trains a week to
the Pacific cna;'. One afternoon l was
about to close my desk and go home,
when the local ticket agent came Into
my office with two young men. It was
not necessary to look at them twice to un
ders arid that tli*v were Englishmen.
They were the typical tall, big-boned,
blonde-haired men whom one recognises
immediately as being English. They
wen dressed In ultra English style, ami
arrled themselves with the self-confi
dence an*l In.iept mien-e ( f men who thor
oughly believe iu themselves and are ut
terly Indifferent t> tin* estimate placed
upon them by others. I call them men,
though they could not ha\e ben over S
or 19 years old. The agent tobl me that
they wished to tec me about a matter
of business. I assured them that 1 was
at their disposal, and waited, wondering
what they could want of me. Th® taller
of the two acted as spokesman.
" ‘\V* want to get to Han Francisco,*
be said, ‘in tim* to connect with the
next steamer for Japan.*
" I am very sorry,’ 1 replied, ‘but our
special train which connects with th**
steamer passed tn rough h> r two hours
ago.’
"T’h*A looked serious at this, but did
not seem overcome.
" *1 suppose,’ said th** tall*-r on**, ‘that
the next regular train will be too late to
connect w ith the .steamer.’
"’Oh. yes,’ i said, ‘you would be de
la ved about a week in San Francisco.’
"‘oh. that will never do,’ he replied.
‘We must catch that steamer You will
hat e to make some ar rangetm-nt t>\ w hich
we can overtake this special train.'
"I was panil>z*d by the cool assur
ance with which he suggested (his. Tin*
train he wisher! to overtake was known
n* the Golden Gate Special, ami was a
record break* r. it was one of tho fast
est trains on our road, and wr*> wen
proud *f the time it made. Yet her*-
w re a couple of youngsters who wanted
to know whether h**y mid not arrange
to cat*-h it with tu*- satri*- calmness that
they might have asked for a cup of coffee.
I smiled on them pityingly.
" ‘Don’t you know ,’ sai l I, 'that tills is
an exceptionally fast train, and that it
is almost impossible to heat it? Why,
even if it w**re possible to do what you
asked, th*- expense would put it out of
the question ’
"They listened calmly and without
change of expression. Then tlm one who
had spoken before said:
" ‘Yes, I know all about that, but we
have got to catch ihat bout. Wo are at
taclied t tli* British embassy at Tokio,
and have hqen traveling on a leave of ab
sence. Our time will b** up the very day
tliut boat reaches Japan. We must ho
there at that time because we have prom
ised to. W* had intended to catch the
previous boat, but we were having such
a good time that we thought wo w'otild
chance it and wait over. Now nothing
-an he allowed to interfere with our
plan."
" ‘Weil,’ I said, ‘I don’t see how l can
aid you, sorry as I may be for you.’
"The Englishmen looked at me in a
bored sort of a way, and said:
“ ‘I don’t !--** why there is any need of
arguing about this. We want a special
train to overtake that special, ami if we
can’t do it any other way we will have
to follow it across the continent.’
1 looked in amazement at these two
clerks—that is what they amounted to, l
suppose, at least what we would consider
them in this country—who were cooly
asking for a special train to cross the
continent. I was not at all convinced
that they appreciated the enormity or
their demand. In fact, I lVlt more amused
than credulous.
" ‘I suppose.’ I said, 'you have some Idea
of hat St will cost vou to do this'.’
"‘Oh, wo are willing to pay whatever
it 1 .’ w o the reply In a drawling tone.
" ‘lt will cost you if we overtake the
special at her first stop, and fl.Oot) if
we go clear across. It Is barely possible
that, w** -an make a connection at the
first stop.’
"Tho Englishman made no other reply
than to thurst his hand into his trousers
pocket and pull out a. big roll of bills. He
counted out SI,OOO and laid it on the desk.
" Of course,’ he said, T presume if we
make the connection that you speak of, I
will get back what I have paid in excess.’
"I saw then that he was in earnest. I
took out S3OO to guarantee us, and return
ed the rest to him with the understanding
that he was to pay tho conductor if he
missed the first connection, according to
the I had outlined. I at once set
the machinery in motion to get out the
train. It required a good deal of work.
In the first place we ha i no engine 1n
which the fire was lip, and found It would
save time to liave one brought on from
another nation. Then we had to semi for
an engineer who would be capable of
running the train at the high rate of speed
that was demanded, and still avoid un
necessary risks. As ours was 1n tin* main
only a single-track road we had to tele
graph ail along the line to keep the track
Gear of freight trains anl arrange t. have
the ordinary passenger trains side-tracked
at convenient times and places. Although
about four hours were taken up in these
preliminaries. During that time the Eng
lishman loafed around, looking very bored
and not at ali interested In our efforts to
hurry things. When it was announced that
tho train w r as r**a<iy they invite*! me to
drink to th* success >f their trip In a bof
:lo of wine, a condescension on their part
liiat amazed me, and the last I saw of
them they were bowing from the rear
! platform of their car as the train went
| flying out of the depot. They made the
connection at the first Junction, as I
| learned that night by telegraph. llow they
I * ver did it I don’t know, but I have a
! rhrewd suspicion that they bribed the
; conductor and engineer to run the train
! at a rate never known before, and that
, would have been condemned by the higher
authorities if they had heard of it.”
