Miss Louise Is the Term "Middle Aged" Disappearing? By SYBIL HOLLAND. There is a state in the female sex which is at the present day not al lowed to exist, although as a matter of course, it must do so, for to most of us to all who do not die young- it is bound to come. 1 allude to the state of being middle-aged. a There is no objection made to child hood, young womanhood, or old age, but middle-age well, we hardly ever meet a middle-aged woman nowadays. Girls are chaperoned by young moth- era who often look practically the same ages as the daughters. There are also large quantitiea of grand mothers; but the middle-aged mamma dates back quite ten years. She ex isted then, but her day is done. What in the world becomes of her now is a mystery; a problem, in fact, that seems almost impossible to solve. For how is it possible to jump from summer to winter, leaving autumn out of the question altogether? It re minds one of the little girl, who, hav ing for the afternoon been left in charge of some rather troublesome younger brothers and sisters, said she had decided when she grew up to have no children, but to wait and have some grandchildren instead I We know that miracles are not per formed every day, neither do transfor mation scenes take place in real life, and fables, like middle age, are out of date. Yet hair is either golden or white, never the one streaked with the other. Complexions are either as smooth as satin or wrinkled with years. Limbs retain the suppleness of youth or they are atiff and infirm. ' There was a time when even if face and figure could not be relied upon to denote, advancing years, clothes at least could be to a great extent. It was the fashion for ladies who had passed their first youth to discard white aatin and diaphanous muslin garments for the more sedate brocade or velvets. Also fly-away hats gave place to bonnets, or at any rate "toaues." while Eton jackets were suc ceeded by "mantles." But how this is all changed. Dresses of the lightest hues and the flimsiest materials an as popular with mothers as daughters, as are also picture hats. And young girls, in their turnoften don "toques ' and trailing velvet gowns. That "age," by common consent, is usually ignored in ordinary conversa tion, and perhaps just as well, tor It probably saves" a few extra fibs from being born into the world. A lady who was visiting Monte Carlo for the first time desired to try her luck at the tables, and being undecided as to what number to choose, she asked a friend to settle for her. "Put it on you, own age," was the reply. So, accordingly, the touia was placed on number twenty-five. When the crou pier announced, "Quarante," that poor lady a discomfiture told its own taie. 'There are middle-aged men, how ever, aiid they arc greatly sought after. A girt fa usually much more flattered by the attention of man fifteen or twenty yeara older than herself than by those of a youth of her age; for she thinks that she really must be rather a clever person, since no one with so wide an experience should care to talk to her. In such circumstances she usually starts read ing rather, deep books,' which she neither understands nor enjoys, but. nevertheless, she has the satisfaction of feeling that ahe is enlarging her mind, and will therefore be able to dis cuss intricate subjects with her middle-aged admirer. But here she is making a huge mis take. The man of middle age does not require this conversation in his moments of leisure; he has quite enough of it at other times. It this indeed were what he wanted, he would bestow his attentions upon a much older woman instead of on a debutante whose youth, prettiness and ignorance are the qualities that he finds so re- tresning. ., Some Hints on Fall Fashions : 'J aanaaaaaaaa-.t.'l-1 II I I aiMaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaJ AjS:Sif -' ,., Aaaam.t:,ii.-i.,4; The waist of white voille is alwaya attractive and smart, to aay nothing of its durability.

' Meals for a Child Caroline Hurut, in Farmers' Bulletin No, 717. gives a series of sensible meals for a child. Her sensible break fast consists of: Baked apple (children under 3 years of age should eat only) the pulp), cereal mush, milk, toast and butter. Her sensible dinner consists of lamb chop, baked potato, spinach, bread and butter, rice with milk and sugar. Her sensible supper consists of milk, bread, stewed prunes (pulp only for children under 3), plain cookies. The amount given of each food de pends on the age of the child, the season of the year, and, in some meas ure on the appetite. In thes diets the naming of certain food does not mean that choice is limited to that one ar ticle. In most instances when an ar ticle is named it means that some ar ticle of food of that kind is to be used. For instance, instead of lamb chops, egg or steak, or other meats can be given. Instead of spinach, carrots, turnips, beets, salads or other greens can be given. The breakfast suggest ed can be varied by giving any one of the following: 2. Orange (babies are given the juice only), farina with milk, bread and butter. . 3. Apple sauce, oatmeal with milk, toast snd butter. 4. Baked pears (pulp only for the youngest), milk toast, cocoa. 5. Stewed prunes (pulp only for the youngest), cornmeal mush and milk, toast and butter. 6. Grapefruit (very young children take only the juice), milk toast with grated yolk of hard boiled egg. 7. Apple (very ripe, scraped for children under J), toast, not mux. The varieties on the dinner offered are: 2. Meat soup, egg on toast, string beans, rice pudding. 3. Roast beef, baked potato, as paragus, bread and jelly, 4. Lamb stew with carrots and potato, twice baked bread, tapioca custard. - 5. Creamed ootatoes. green peas. steamed plums with thin cereal, milk pudding. . 6. Baked halibut, boiled potatoes, stewed celery, boiled rice with honey or syrup. 7. Broiled meat cakes, grits creamed carrots, bread, butter and sugar sandwiches. Variations in the supper: 2. Baked potatoes served with cream or with milk gravy, apple sauce, sponge cake. 3. Potato-milk soup, twice baked bread, marmalade sandwiches. 4. Graham crackers and milk, baked custard. 5. Milk toast, stewed peaches, cup cakes. 6. Celery-milk soup, toast, floating island.

Soft shell crabs are delicious fried with bacon. Choose nice, fresh crabs, remove the spongy parts under the sides, and pull off the aprons.

To cool jellies or blancmange in a short time, take a handful of salt and the same of soda, put it in a bowl of water and stand the jelly mould in it. Scrubbing brushes should always be hung up when not in use, so that the bristles have a chance of drying. They will last far longer if treated in this way. A little vaseline applied to stiff leather boots will make them easy and comfortable. The vaseline should be rubbed into the leather with a piece of flannel. Being Miserable By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. . Is there any real enjoyment in pos ing as a martyr? That question puzzles me increas ingly as i notice the number of people feminine people particularly who walk through life advertising their sufferings with a sort of grim enjoy ment in their own tribulations. When the Indian suffers he retires to his tent to hide the pain, of which he is rather ashamed.- I like that stoic attitude. It is much more agreeable to live with than is the whining and whimpering of a hypo chondriac. Too many people know of no bet ter way of getting the center of the stage which they desire than by meet ing you with a moaning demand for sympathy. You give it for a while. Your emotions are stirred and your tender heart grieves over the pain a friend is compelled to endure. Suddenly you find yourself growing impatient. You are a little bored by the constant recital of woes. Irritation grows and finally you almost dislike the whining friend and find yourself seeking to avoid his society. None of us is exempt from pain. Suffering is the inevitable portion of humanity. The strong know that it makes for growth and accept it grimly, doggedly, bravely or cheer fully, as their natures demand. Only the weak whimper and whine and force other people to help them en dure their individual portions of pain. No one has a right to insist that anyone else bear what ought to be personal to the sufferer. It doesn't help anyone to harp on his pain. It gives no relief, but rather keeps the mind of the sufferer fscussed on his unhappiness. That, however, is not the point of my, little talk. What I am considering is the folly of gloating over your own unhappi ness, parading it before the rest of the world and by so doing making yourself a nuisance and a bore. Make up your mind, if you are the sort of person who talks but of his sufferings, that you are getting to be the sort of person who glories in his martyrdom. But you are likely to be alone in vour glory and to make of yourself a nuisance and bore to the rest or the world.
