Billie Burke flouts the Iden that women have lost their charm through gaining their economic Independence.
"How absurd!" Miss, Burke bristled.
"It's utterly ridiculous to say
that woman's emancipation from
all the wrongs tho ages have heaped upon her has cost her anything of charm."
"Just the reverso is true. Hor broader education, her economic freedom, the extension of her interests beyond the narrow con- fines of her home, the variety of her activities-all those things have added tremendous- ly to her, culture,

Suspicion.
A MISERABLE HAS A Surely one of the smildest aspects of old age is that which shows it self so aften in deterioration of the qualities that have won love and admiration from others, or in the acquiring of qualities that repel sympathy and love.
Most of us, I suppose, if we live to old age will have to resign our selves to the risk of becoming bores to the younger generation, for it seems to be in the nature of the elderly to want to indulge in re miniscences and in the nature of the young to flee from them.
But what a joy it would be to know that we should be spared that other flaw which occasionally mars character after the prime of lif has been passed, suspicion,
The fact that doctors will tell you that suspicion is an actual con- Heghence of certain diseases of old nge should, one would imagine, give pause to those people who, while they are yet strong and well, give way to this miserable habit of sus- pecting their fellow men of all sorts of shortcomings.
It is a habit which grown with indulgence, and it brings much misery in its train.
It brings the very worst qualitien nf those who are suspected to the surface, and it causes people. to hide their best natures, as a sensi- tive plant shrivels up at the touch' of the careless finger,
It is better to risk being "taken in," I think, many times over, rather than go about the world look ing for faults. H. M. In Exchange,

I had a liking for my last pair of dunnel trousers which had a light grey stripe running through them. I had hoped that this same stripe would enable my wife to iron a straight crease down the leg but I was disappointed. The crease, or rather the predominant crease, on the right crossed no fewer than seven of the stripes, whilst that on the left leg was, bellave me or be- lleve me not, ironed down the sides. But the ramblers don't mind.
And if any of you have climbing roses to tie back, cut up your grey funnel., trousers before washing. Otherwise, you will have only half the amount of cloth at your dis- posal!
