Show About Women A GOOD TIME AT 117. Brooklyn Bade. Mrs. Margaret Kelly, who whooped it up nt the St. Patrick's dinner, but did not eat many Welsh rabbits, is 117 years old. has had fourteen children, never know George Washington! has never been 111, and expects and Intonds to keep on having dinners for years to come. She explains her habit of longevity on the ground that she follows fol-lows her 'own advice, which Is, to have a- good time, never worry, and take plenty of sleep. We do not know how she succeeds In following that advice in New York, where the police wlli not lot you have a good time, where the automobiles keep you worrying, and where the milkman and the newsboy and the Janitor and the Ice man and the trolley cars stop sleeping at 5'a. m. Still. It Is good advice, and although nobody ever listens to advice, except when he has to pay a doctor or a lawyer law-yer for It, the Items may some day be I Incorporated Into a new religion, and people will then start to live up to it. If the mother of fourteen can refrain from worry, It should certainly be possible pos-sible for a person who has nothing to fret him but bonds, real esUUe, and that sort of thing, to go about the face of the earth with a continual appetite and a smile. FEATHERS ON WOMEN'S HATS. Now York Sun. "The Idea that the wearing or wings, breasts and other feather ornaments on women's millinery necessities the wholesale slaughter of birds is all bosh,"' snld a manufacturer of feather goods. "Once In a whllo a fashion comes in that calls for a particular feather or quill that only one-bird produces, pro-duces, but wings, breasts and even the whole birds are made from thi feathers feath-ers plucked from poultry dressed for table use. We take bales of feathers, sort them, dye them, brush them, curl them and work them up Into whatever is wanted, and not a bird's llfo Is sacrificed." sac-rificed." THROUGH ENGLISH EYES. London Chronicle. American women as a rule wear very little 'Jewelry, and It Is rather the fnd of women with beautiful figures, fig-ures, hands and feet not to wear any ornament at all not even the smallest brooch or a single ring or the smallest .bangle. One evening at Sherry's I looked around and caw quite a dozen women beautifully and most expensively expen-sively gowned, with not a single Jewel. One woman wore a pale gray crepe de chine trimmed In rare old Italian loth century lace, with elbow sleeves and a graceful skirt. It molded her figure fig-ure like a corset. Her hair was crowned by a black picture hat of good definite lines and she wore no ornaments orna-ments or jewels of any kind, either on arms or hands or neck, and she looked most beautiful and distinguished. A KISS AND ITS PENALTY. For kissing a stranger in a moment of exuberance an eighteen-year-old waitress at Tetschen has been sentenced sen-tenced to fourteen days' Imprisonment. The offense took place at the railway station two nights ago, and the Injured In-jured man complained at once to the police and the girl was arrested. So impressed was the magistrate with the helnousness of the crime that he Increased In-creased :he severity of the sentence by ordering the girl four fast days in tho fortnight, and also directed that after completing the sentence she should be banished liom Bohemia and sent to her home In Dresden. BONNET THAT PROTECTS. "A Quakeress," said a physician, "never catches cold. Her Immunity Is due to her bonnet. If I had my way, all of us, women and men alike, would wear Quaker bonnets. "This bonnet protects the back of the head and the nape of the neck, two very tender spots. The nape especially Is tender. Let a good draught strike you there for just a second and I'll guarantee you a week's cold. Tho Quakeress's bonnet may not be beautiful, beau-tiful, but, protecting- her nape as It does, It keeps her free from colds year In and year out" |
