VANITY-BAGS.

SIGN OF UNCHANGING WOMAN.

John Blust writing in the thily "Mail BAYL:-

We hear much about the emancipation of women and of the great changes their outlook has undergone; indeed, we bear so much that sometimes one hegins to feel rather nervous and to imagine that women are changing out of all recogni- tion and are no longer na harmlessly frivolous as even their mothers were,

And therefore 1 must confess that I read with feelings of relief the announce. meat thất a vanity-bag containing the remains, of a metal mifror, 1 stick of lip rouge, and a pencil for darkening the eyebrows has been found in a tomb near Udeas which is believed to be about 2,500 years old.

Yes, this announcement glaikiened my heart, for I have noticed that young women of to-day, who express views of an emancipated description and laugh' at the Victorian kiel as hopelessly old. fashioned, nevertheless have habit of carrying (and using) vanity bags which appeur to contain precisely what the vanity-lags of 2,300 years ngò costaàineil.

DESIRE TO LOOK NICE..

Consequently I consider that all is well and that women remain much the same as they always were. The fashion of thought alters, the outlook brundens -at least we are told so-hat the desire to look nice is constant. I have never, I. mimit, been able to determine whether the articles earried in vanity-bags really enhance Women's locks, but I am quite sure that that is the ideat

And those maidens of far-off · tinies. whose bodies are long ance dust, had precisely the same instincts as the girls Pof today have. It cheers 'me tremen- dously and it fortifies me in my belief it has reded fortifying occasionally- that human nature changes fundament- alty handy at all.

It is eoman custom among young people to deride all that is old and to regard their own generation as the real repository of truth and enlightenment." But unrely life itself is the oldest of uld things and the fight for existence the primary need of mankind.

The vanity-bag is a symbol of woman's wish to attract, and that wish has appar- ently undergone little alteration. I have, it is true, heard women declare that it is nothing of the sort and that they only put rouge, un their faces to please then- selves, but this seems to me an explana tion which only tells half the truth.

I don't propose to dogmatise ubwgs such a recondite matter, but I would suggest in all humility that when they have pleased themselves they realise || instinctively, perhaps that they most likely to please other people.

PLEASING WOMEN.

It is a very proper and natural desire, and I can never underst ind why women should sometimes e indignant at the suggestion. I know that always want to please women, and, though I fre quently fail, it is not through want of trying. Perhaps, indeed, men try too obviously andțit is part of women's de- fensive armour to assume an indifference they are far from feeling.

And it works very well up to u peint, though there does come a point when one begins, to,, wonder whether the game is worth the randie. · However, that is rather a different question.

I must not end up on a pessimistic note when I have just bad the delightful pleasure of reading about that abcient vanity-bag and of having hail, in couse- pence, my fears allayed. That would never do. No, everything" is serene: women are still feminine. I don't mind

any

more what views they profess 80 long as I see then carrying vanity-bags. These, in future, shall be my hope.

WHERE DO PINS GO?

BILLIONS VANISH EVERY YEAR.

See a pin, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck! If you are super stitious, perhaps, rou follow this ancient admonition religiously and pick up the pens you see on the Bner. But if idle superstitions do not worry you, the pins you see are left to rust and join the millions of pins, hairpins, nails, pens änd razorblades which disappear from ust each year.

A fortune awaits the man who, in the Bame of Industrial Conservation, dis „covers a means of reclaiming the thou "sands of pounds worth of mul! "metal" nitudes; waleh are thrown away, ench year. Fortunes have been made by en-i terprising men who have reclaimed "from the junk heup and resold"large pieces of Harap-iron and other metal.
