TALKING KILLED HIMBhT THE HUYORISTS HAVE IG-

NORED THE INCIDENT

One of St. Pant's Grand Old WomenShows How to Grow Old Gracefully

—She Still Brings Cheer WhereverBhe Goes. *

Did you read about the man whotalked himself to death? Strange,

wasn't it, for a man? Ifit been a wom-an nobody would have thought it at allstrange. But a man! He, had beenwounded In the jaw and his physicianstold him that if he kept perfectly quiet

he would get well. Well, do you sup-pose that man kept still? Not a bit ofit. He went right on talking and thewound had no chance to heal and hedied. And not a funny paragraph hasbeen written about him, but if thathad been a woman, George Ade, Mr.Dooley and John Kendrick Bangswould have worked overtime to writefunny stories about her. But It was aman and there is silence.

What a difference there is in the waysome persons have of growing old;there is a way to do it gracefully andmake every one glad to have those whoknow how about them; and then thereis a cross, crabbed way, which makesothers fly. And it all lies with our-selves whether as we grow Older wewill be a delight to those about us orthe other thing.

There is a lonely old lady living inone of the suburbs of this city who isan example to all about her. She isone of the oldest settlers about herenow; indeed, she is said to be the only

woman now living who was here in1848. She has gone through seas o£trouble in her life, but today she ismore cheerful and better company thanhalf the young women In town. Inspeaking of her troubles recently shesaid that once when she was in thegreatest sorrow she said to herself:"The Lord is trying to see how much Ican bear, and I'll just show him!" So

\u25a0she kept her head up and marchedalong, never losing her courage andnever talking of her troubles. A fewyears ago she moved out to a suburbto live with a married daughter and,realizing that her old friends were dy-ing off, she decided to make new ones.A very wise thing to do, by the way,and implies no disloyally to old friends.So this brave old lody went about andgathered the women of that suburb to-gether and formed a literary clvb—mind you, she is nearly eighty—and to-day that club has over forty membersand has joined the State Federation.The mother of the club is its founderand most active member, and this au-tumn she Is probably going to Mankatoto represent her club at the annualconvention. Speaking of Mankato, shesaid she had been down there fiftyyears before there was a single house.This dear old lady is welcome every-where; she is related to some of St.Paul's oldest and best families andthinks nothing of coming into townfor several days or going up to Min-neapolis to visit cousins. And suchstories as she can tell! Not long agothe Historical society asked her towrite her reminiscences of early dayshere, and she said that if they wouldlet'her crochet them or knit them shewould do it, but she did hate to write.

Now, why can't we all grow old thatway and keep our courage and goodspirits to the end? Try it, says

BEAUTY AND HEALTH.

Cold water, intelligently used, willdo almost more than anything else toprevent the catching-cold habit fromfastening on one. An ill kept outerskin and a dyspeptic condition of themucous membranes on the inside aresaid to be largely responsible for colds.A cold tub or sponge bath each morn-ing, preceded and followed by a briskdry rub, is usually all that is necessary

to keep the cutaneous circulation aliveand the skin braced against changes intemperature. This may be too heroicfor those not accustomed to it. In thatcase begin with the water at any com-fortable temperature, making it one de-gree colder each morning. Ifthe body

is rubbed with salt or alcohol after dry-ing the reaction is intensified. Forthose who cannot take the cold spongebath, the dry rub is a fair substitute.When wet or chilly, "keep moving." Itis dangerous and it may mean death tostand still on a street corner.

No word is so common in these daysas neurasthenia; yet it is hot easy todefine, and many of those who use ithave only the vaguest idea what itmeans. The word originated with aNew York physician, and the malady

indicated thereby has usually been re-garded as a distinctively American one,though it is found in most countries of,the civilized world, and the unfortunateMrs. Carlyle is now declared by SirJames Crichton Brown to have been"neurotic." Wear ana tear, storm andstress, a badly regulated life, in short,are the causes usually assigned for thisderangement of function resulting fromthe exhaustion of nervous energy, butdefects of nutrition also have much todo with it, and the solution of theproblem, as in many other cases, mayrest ultimately with the cook.

"The cult of ihs rain bath" is the po-etical name given to the latest com-plexion cure. Somebody having dis-covered what everybody has alwaysknown, that rain water is good for thecomplexion and that fogs and dampweather tend to prolong the delicatepink and whiteness of the cheeks, theyoung girls and younger matrons atfashionable watering places are goingin for rain baths. That is to say, assoon as a stiff shower sets in, every-body makes off to the bath house, puton her bathing togs and lolls aroundon the beach. The idea is to get thor-oughly wet before taking the finalplunge into the surf.

A bottle of lavender water and a<dainty cambric handkerchief - will befound welcome -adjuncts to one's trav-eling kit on a long journey. It will befound most refreshing, not only on theway, but at the end of the journey. Apair of thin slippers will also help inpromoting comfort. Some physiciansrecommend cold, weak tea as the bestdrink for a long railway journey, |>utsuch things must always be left to thecustom and temperament of the indi-vidual.

"Don't sleep under tto many bedclothes," cautions a physician. "It is'unhygienic to have too much covering,as it keeps in the impurities of thebody. Try to do with little bed cloth-ing, and se if you do not sleep bet-ter."

Mrs. Vanderbiit's Benevolence.About everything has been told of

Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt except herbenevolence, and for this quality she isknown principally in Paris. Few wom-en in the French capital are so wellbeloved by the native people, and asMrs. Lewis M. Rutherfurd she sub-scribed generously to hospitals andsettlements. Now Mrs. Vanderbilt willgive a home for friendless girls, with ahospital annex. This is the sort ofcharity that counts. When Mrs. Van-derbilt lived in Paris as a widow hershare of the Harriman estate was suf-ficient to permit the broad relief ofdestitute families. Mrs. Rutherfurd'shousekeeper always kept in touch withmissions and settlements, and thegentle American gave away thousandsa year. Now that she can call uponsome of the Vanderbilt millions it willnot be surprising if her benefactionsamount to enormous sums.

It is whispered that Mrs. Vanderbiltand her stepdaughter-in-law, Mrs.Willie K. Vanderbilt Jr. are not ex-tremely friendly, and the mere factthat the young Vanderbilt held alooffrom the marriage speaks eloquentlyin favor of this rumor. Mrs. Willie K.Jr. has always been fond of hermother-in-law. Mrs. Belmont, and so itwill not be wondered at should she ig-nore her husband's stepmother. Mrs.Belmont and the sister of Mrs. Her-man Oelrichs are bosom friends, andit was the former who arranged theii'.mi-i-iaso l;?tiveen Miss Fair and youngVtinderbilt. Young Mrs. Vanderbilthas espoused the cause of Mrs. Bel-mont more openly, and for this reasonshe has not been popular with otherVanderbilts. At best it was a difficultposition for the young bride.

FOR the FAIR SEX

M. G. wants to know how to becomestout; is of a nervous temperament andhas tried all the ordinary things.

Well, for one thing, don't worry.Drink all the water you can with yourmeals and between meals. Go to bedearly, and, above all, lead a quiet, evenexistence. Persons who do everythingevery day at the same hour in a regu-lar way, are not apt to be thin.

T. S.—How to keep the curl in myhair without the aid of tongs?

My dear, that is a poser. Of course,you ca-n put it up in hair curlers atnight, and then you need not use thetongs. But If there comes a rainy,damp day, they come in very nicely. Ifthe Lord did not give you curly hair,you must do the best you can, but becomforted; straight hair is consideredmore elegant than curly.

Louis C.—Wants to know how to doher hair and how to clear her complex-

ion. Also how to make friends, and aquestion about her nose.

Consuelo'syounger brother, Harold Vanderbilt,lives with the Belmonts. All the op-position of the children will notdaunt Mrs. Vanderbilt. Her position inNew York is secure, and she is certainof a joyous welcome from her hus-band's sisters, Mrs. Sloane. Mrs. Webband Mrs. Twombly.

THE UNPOSSESSED.

My Heart's Desire hath led meThrough barren lands and vain.

And bitter bread she fed me, •And bade me drink of pain.

Ah, me, I climbed a weary wayTo heilghts -of her disdain.

Yet, would I give the years I liveTo walk the path again.The Heart's Possessed beside me

Leads tne a level way;There may no ill betide me,

No thirst or famine stay.She hath no wish but wish of mine,No joy save to obey,And at my side her form must bide

Until my dying day.My Heart's Possessed hath stilled me

From all unrest malgin;Yea. eased the hope that thrilled me

With too keen pain and fine.Yet, O my Heart, my Heart's Desire,My ungained dream divine.That never turned the while I yearned

Nor closed her hands in mine!—Smart Set.

THE ST. PAUI, GLOBB, TUESJiAY, AUGUST 18, 1903:

Answers to Correspondentssene. Rub well into the roots, and ifyou rinse it thoroughly no odor will beperceptible. Try an entirely differentway of arranging your hair. Part itin the middle, curl it on both sidesand put it low on your neck for achange. It is fashionable so now. Foryour complexion it would be better toconsult a physician than to write thispage. Wash your face thoroughly atnight, then rub the yellow spots with,lemon juice, and put on some good

cold cream. Use plenty of soap andwater. Ifit does not improve, go to adoctor. As to making friends, if youmake it a point to be always agreeableand smiling, and to forget yourself, Ithink you will have little difficulty.Little courtesies go a long ways. Ifyou are a friend to others you will findyou have many friends. As to yournose, I fear you will have to keep thatone, but ifit does not suit you exactly,try to forget it, and remember thatthose who really like you don't care ifyour nose isn't perfection, and otherswho might make a point of your nose,wouldn't be worth knowing. Cheer up,my dear girl, you're not made wrongat all. You can write a very nice let-ter, and I hope you will send anotherfor this page. —Marie.

This is one of the new fall models. It is an eleven-gored sifcirt of blacktaffeta, with pipings of black velvet, also robings, bands and medallions ofthe new white woolen lace, worked over with black and green chenille. Be-low the hips part of the breadths are shirred, it falls in full box plaits fromthe knees down. The corsage harmonizes with the skirt. The scarf is ofwhite Liberty silk, run entirely with half-inch tucks.

WHITE SAILS.

The sails are brown and rough and sere.As long as we can see them here,But when afar upon the main.We lingering turn and look again,.White as the wing of seabird swift.Or new-fallen snow's unsullied drift.So we with those our hearts hold dearDwell side by side and year by year.And faults and frailties recognize.Albeit we see with lenijent eyes.But the day comes that seemed afar;With orders sealed they cross the bar!Then to us, watching from the shore,Their sails are white forevermore.—Mary Johnson in the Boston Transcript.

ITEMS FROM EVERYWHERESlowly but steadily women .are feel-

Ing their way toward the attitude menhave so long assumed —that gloves areworth while, regarded only from theutilitarian standpoint, as coverings tokeep the hands either warm or clean.There is only one- occasion when a manputs on gloves in deference to etiquette.That is when he dances. During warmweather women are only too glad toaccept the masculine argumentsagainst glove wearing, as many a pairof tanned hands reveals. The first steptoward the emancipation of womenfrom gloves was taken when the factwas published that small, tight-fittinggloves are really inelegant, induce rednoses and make the hands look yellowand wrinkled. The next step was tak-en when women discovered how veryconvenient and comfortable it was togo without gloves at all.

\u25a0 A pretty Idea for a golden weddinginvitation was that adopted by Canonand Mrs. Alfred J. Carver, of Dulwichcollege, England, on the recent celebra-tion of the fiftieth anniversary of theirwedding. At the top of the card ap-peared portraits of the aged couple asthey are today and at the bottom werereproductions of companion portraitspainted at the time of their marriage.As Canon and Mrs. Carver are a hand-some couple, these cards with theirpictures made an exceptionally inter-esting souvenir of the celebration.

An artificial floor of gravel or rubbieis beginning to take the place of thesweet green turf in lawn tennis courts.It does not look so well, but it is easilykept in order, and no variety of badweather except frost and snow will putit out of action. The ball bounds truerfrom gravel than from turf, and whena wet summer converts even the hardrolled cricket ground into a species ofswamp there is much to be said for theartificially floored tennis court.

A smart frock of chiffon had a skirttrimming that was delightful. Big, flatrosettes of imitation 'Val" had in thecenter of each a rhinestone button.Then these rosettes were strung along,one after the other, like a rosary, asa heading for a number of chiffon ruf-fles edged with the same lace.

A pretty girl, whose ohapeaus are theadmiration of her friends, says thatwhen she makes or buys a hat, and Itdoes not set well on her head or havethe expected effect, she pulls It all topieces and makes it up again. "I find,"she says, "that, it generally happensthat the hat is built wrong. It's a faultin the architecture, and you can't makeit better by twisting or pulling. It hasto be started afresh, or the architec-tural faults willremain Just the same."

Handbags in geranium red . louslneare considered smart. They may beunlined or lined with white or redchina silk. Below a two-inch headinga casing is run to hold the broadgeranium red taffeta ribbons that aretied together and slipped over the arm.

Mice and rats are sure signs of build-Ing defects, and in old houses the wallsand floors are often so infested withthem that It Is almost impossible to getrid of them. The only thing to be doneis to discover the places of entranceand-stop them up with plaster of parismixed with a stiffpaste with water andbroken glass, or else with common hardsoap. Traps and a good cat are betterthan poison, as the latter is dangerous

Jo pets and* children, and the animalsmay die in inconvenient places. Ratsin drains are in their proper places, butonce they come out they should behunted down ruthlessly, for they areperfect disease carriers. A trap oftenseems to bring as many rats as itkills,so the best thing is to call in the build-er and have every possible place of en-trance closed up.

The Empire club of London, a sort ofinternational women's organization, isvery successful. It is a sort.of generalrendezvous or open house, into which"visiting ladles from other parts of theworld can drop and be sure of renew-ing old acquaintances with their Eng-lish friends. It is chiefly haunted byvisitors from the British colonies andfrom the United States. Mrs. HerbertChamberlain is president and amongthe prominent members are the mar-chioness of Londonderry, the countessof Jersey and Lady Stanley Clarke.

ilt is suggested that for the womanwho does not possess the luxury of aprivate bath a bath basket would be amost desirable possession. Such a bas-ket would be exactly like a baby's; infact, you begin by selecting a large-sized baby basket for the purpose. Silkrubber pockets of various sizes may besewn to the sides, and will 3erve tohold toothbrush, nailbrush, washclothand sponge. There may be alsopouches for talcum powder and othercomplexion beautiflers. In the bot-tom of the basket may be set the coldcream, soaps, almond meal, vasselineand kindred articles. The convenienceof such a basket is chiefly that it canbe so readily carried about, and that Itholds the various things all together.

Ah American lady is responsible fora remarkable innovation. She tookover to England a number of womengrooms and now they have become afad with wealthy English. The espe-cial duty of the feminine groom is toattend her mistress when out on horse-back. It is now pointed out that she ismuch more desirable in that capacitythan a man. She is useful in case ofillness or accident, and she can wait onher mistress in many useful ways. Be-sides she serves for company if thelatter feels inclined to talk, while themale attendant must, of course, besteadfastly ignored. Women groomsdo not care for the horses. If compe-tent, they teach their employer to ride,aiding her to mount and dismount.These positions are usually held by thedaughters of riding masters.

While the tendency la toward be-ginning married life upon a somewhatlavish scale, the bride who is satisfiedto do her own housework or a part ofit Is not yet extinct. She usually startsout in her new life with a knowledgeof cookery obtained from a course atsome first-class cooking school and atraining in bedmaking, sweeping and

"Some time ago I saw In the Stara little story about a Washington fel-low who had induced his sister, justhome from school, to put on the gloveswith him, not knowing that she hadbeen boxing and punching the bag atthe school and winning prizes for herwork in those lines, and how she fool-ed him by nearly knocking his blockoff," said a well known young Wash-ington athlete, a member of one ofthe upper Patomac rowing clubs."Well, I had an experience similar tothat last summer, only it doesn't hingeon boxing, but rowing.

"I spent part of last summer at ahotel up on Lake George, and one aft-ernoon I met a girl who had just arriv-ed at the hotel with her mother, whocame pretty near lookfhg about allright to me. She was tall and sun-browned and had a swing and a dashand go about her that filled my eye. Igot a whole lot busy trying to make ahit with her from the jump, and Iplodded along so successfully that onthe next afternoon I felt strong enoughto ask her to take a ride with me inmy shell. I was keeping in shape bytaking a spin over the lake everyevening, and I figured that that wil-lowy and clever girl would look prettygood sitting in the little seat oppositeme in my shell. So I asked her.

"She seemed a bit hesitant about it,so I said to her:

" 'You're not afraid to go into ashell, are you?* my idea being to arouseher sporting blood.

" 'N—no,' she replied, somewhatslow, 'but—is It quite safe, do youthink, really?"

" 'Safe aa going to church,' said I,in my cunnin' off-hand way. 'Allyou've got to do is to just keep stillin your little seat atod—watch me. Ofcourse, you won't be able to movearound a whole lot in the shell, but Iwon't keep you out long enough tomake you nervous.'

" 'Well, I'll ask mamma,' she replied,and presently she came hack and saidthat mamma had..glyen her the re-quired permission to accompany .me inthe shell. In fact, mamma walkeddown to the landing with us andwatched me place her daughter in thelittle seat —but I didn't notice thatthere was a sort of underhand smileon mamma's face when I said to thegirl:

" 'Now, these shells are pretty turn-turtle-ey If they're not balanced right,and so you must keep your center ofgravity, you know.'

"Then I shoved off and bent to thework of pulling the prettiest girlaroundLake George over the blue water. Ihad my regular rowing togs on, and Ifelt a whole lot complaisant with my-self as I talked to the girl and ex-plained to her the kinks of shell-pull-ing while Irowed. She locked at mewith large, wondering and absorbedeyes while I told her all about it, and Ifelt that I was winning out handsomelywith the lady of the lake. Worse thangiving me the baby stare out of thosebig gray eyes of hers, She asked me awhole lot of questions about rowing,and she 'Oh'd! 1 and 'Oh, goodness'd!' ina charmingly feminine way when I sotreal strong with myself and yankedthe shell over the water at a particular-ly warm clip.

"I had covered about three miles,

dusting secured at hme under the ex-perienced eye of her mother. Sheprobably had taken care of her ownroom since she was old and strongenough to handle the articles in it andhad otherwise eased the burdens ofhousehold cares which her mother wascarrying. Living in a moderate way,she expected nothing above it whenshe married, but was content to beginin simple fashion, no matter how sim-ple, so long as debt was avoided.

A woman who live 3in Geneseo, N.V., put two fine lace collars out on thelawn in front of her house to dry.When she went to get them, an hourlater, they were gone. She was surenobody stole- them, because she wassitting beside a window at the front ofthe house at the time, and would haveseen anybody entering the. yard. Thenext day she put another collar outand watched. A robin flew down froman apple tree near by and carried offthe collar. An investigation was madeand the other collars were foundwoven into the bird's nest in the crotchof the apple tree. There was also asmall lace handkerchief in the nest.The bird that was doing the "fine art"nest building and its mate set up a bigoutcry and pecked fiercely at the manin the tree when the ne3t was beingpulled down.

In New Holland, Lancaster county,Pa., there is a primitive settlement, asmall' coramuWty in wliich everythinggoes on as it did many generations ago,when its founders first landed onAmerican .soil. Among these Amlshpeople frugality, industry and simplic-ity are the cardinal virtues, and in thebusy strifes of the outside world theyconcern themselves not at all. Theflat-crowned hats of the men and thsseverely plain gowns and poke bon-nets of the women are also worn by

little boys and girls. All these thingsare regulated* by eklers. even the widthof the bonnet strings worn by thewomen. Equality of labor between thesexes is rigidly observed, the womenworking in the field If their householdduties do not fully occupy them. Forthe rest they '"learn in silence with allsubjection." They have nothing to dowith the direction of affairs. Summer,says an Amish wife and mother. Is atime of almost incessant labor, but inthe fall of the year recreation, in thaform of quilting bees and corn husk-ings In indulged.in. The most impor-tant annual gathering is that for themaking of sauerkraut.

The clothes of the Amish women areprecisely the same as their ances-tresses wore centuries ago; yet, for allthe lack of the gayety and the unre-mitting toll of their lives, they are sajdto be very happy and contented.

A Twentieth Century Girlwhen I began to feel like taking a littlelean on my oars, and I did.

" 'Tired?' the girl asked me—but eventhen I didn't see the twinkle in her eye.

"'Me tired? Why, the idee!' said I,and I was going to pick up the oarsagain to show her that there was nosuch a thing as such a Sandow as Ibecoming tired, when she said to me.

" 'Do you know, I think I should liketo try to row this boat.'

"I told her to try to forget any suchidea as that—that we'd probably b« inforty feet of water and trying to get aclutch on an overturned shell in a littleless than no time.

'"Perhaps not —who knows?' said thegirl then, and it was about then that Ithought I fancied that there might besomething doing in the surprise line inconnection with that girl. 'Let me try,anyway, won't you?'

"Well, that put it up to me, of course,and I began to explain to her how tochange places with me, previously tell-ing her, however, that it was a goodthing she knew how to swim, for. Isaid, I thought I saw an impromptuswim in store for her. I was still tell-ing her how to change places in theshell when she motioned me to ceaseand before I knew it she had takenmy seat and Iwas sitting in hers, andit was all done so neatly and expertlythat I could only look at her with openmouth—she had switched places withme like an old oarsman. I was prettynearly next by that time.

"I was altogether next when the girirolled her sleeves up to the shoulder,showing her magnificently developedsun-browned arms. Then she smiled ina vague sort of way at me, picked upthe splashers—and then I tumbled.

"Oh, she had the Courtney champion-ship stroke, that's all. She pulled theshell and herself and me through thewater at a clip that I hadn't thought ofsetting when I had the oars, and thenI felt like a toy baloon that has floatedinto a field of cactus. She overtook abig chap who was pulling a single ata long, even and speedy clip, and shepromptly hooked up with him and gavehim all the work he needed or wantedfor a mile or so. I didn't interrupt herto ask questions—she was too busy en-joying herself—until she had pulled theshell back to the landing.

" 'Ask me some more questions aboutrowing, please,' I said to her, feelinglike a rusty tin-tag. 'I like to tell you •

all about it, you know. 1

"She cnly smiled and showed herwhite teeth and made a sort of a faceat me, and then she sail:

" 'Well, I like to hear new viewsabout things in which I am interested—rowing, for instance —and you don'tmind expressing them to me if I liketo hear them, do you? By the way,here is a prize that I won during mylast year at school for winning overall of the girls in the singles/ and sheshowed me a beautiful little watch, setwith diamonds and emeralds, pinned toher waist. The next afternoon we wentrowing again, but she was then in herown shell, which had arrived by ex-press, and in her regular racing togs,and I guess maybe she didn't look apicture in them, either.

"Icame pretty near finding just howmuch the rest of the girls that I metat Lake George last summer knewabout such things as rowing and thelike before I made a yap of myselfagain."—Washington Star.

house lawns, too, are scarred," saysProf. Bailey, of Cornell university."Now, a flower garden ia another mat-ter, and an achievement in which onemay work hand in hand with natureherself. I sympathize with the manwho said he liked sunflowers becausethere was enough of them to enjoy.Why should not we plant pinks andasters and heliotrope in banks of tenand twenty feet breadth, after the ex-ample of mother nature?" Th« pro-fessor goes on to point out the restfulbeauty of great sweeps of greensward,and urges that vines and climbers beplanted about trees, geraniums andother bright blossoms grouped aroundthe corners of the house, in the anglesof the porches and about the outbuild-ings. Costly lawns are often ruinedbecause of the lack of judgment intheir arrangement, and many easilygrown and enjoyable bloomers are cul-tivated in such niggardly fashion that,like the sunflower man, one does notfind enough of them to enjoy."
