WOMEN AT TWENTY-ODD.
The Age at Which Tlwy Aro Said to Da
Mot Kiuertaliilng.
Tlmo was whon to bo sixteen was the
"boat thing that could happon to a young
girl. It was tho ago of dowoy fresh'
-ess, of innocent impressibility, and of
all tho othor dolightful but rather
verdant virtues which havo won tho
heart of tho poot to song and wooed tho
mind of tho sago to something better
than his philosophy, ltut sweot six
teen is in short dresses to-day, and still
tinder tho rulo of her governess. Her
affections havo not yot departed from
Tier dolls, and sho treats tho few young
men of hor acquaintance with tho sim
plicity of a child. It was a good thing
new to bo slxteon; it is a good thing
now to bo twonty; to bo twenty-five is
"hotter still, but to bo twenty-eight Is to
bo blcstt
"Thoro is no time in a woman's lifo
when sho is so delightful (married or
unmarried, but particularly tho lattor),"
said an obsorvlng man yesterday, "as
sho is from twonty-flvo to thirty. Sho
still has tho enthusiasm of youth, and
xnach of tho tolerant sonso of middle
lifo. Hor judgment is mature, and her
opinions carry weight. Tho shyness
and timidity of her girlhood havo passed
into a poise of manner and a gracious
dignity that places her friends at onco
at their easy best. Sho has had oxpcrl
onco, and that oxporlonco has given
her a clear understanding of tho world
as It really is and of herself without
illusions. Thcroforo hor estimates and
criticisms of lifo aro sharp and suro and
usually to bo trusted, becauso sho has no
theories to bolster up and Illusions to
porpotuate."
"Hut thoro is something to bo said on
tho other Bido," said a woman of twonty
Hix who hoard him. "it may look very
imiooth sailing from tho outside, but one
can havo little idea how much tact it
takes to steor straight in tho narrow
path of tho llvo years that Ho between
twonty-Ilvo and thirty. In tho llrst
place, a woman at that ago hardly
knows whoro to placo horsolf. Sho is
neither young nor old. Sho is what
Julian Ilnwthorno calls 'still young,'
and tho littlo adjective adds ten years at
n Btroko. If a woman who is only 'still
young' takes tho coy and kittenish rolo,
hIid makes hersolf Immortally ridicu
lous, and riosorvedly so. Sho has some
thing even to fear lotting herself be
upont.inoous and natural, lest some one
nil all dub her tho 'girlish old girl.' To
be older than her years makes a prig of
hor at onco, and men and gods will
shun hor.
"To tho very young man sho miMt bo
jrrandmothorly without hurting his dear
little vanity by superior wisdom and
patronage To tho middle-aged man sho
must respond with a maturity of judg
ment that matches his own, and yet sho
most continually suggest tho innocenco
of sixteen. To the man between the
two sho may porhups bo noarost hor nat
ural sol f, and yet even with him she has
continually to romember that she must
iiover assume the equality of knowledge
or experience or judgment which sho ts
nnro sho really possesses. Sho is often
truer in hor judgmont and wlRor in hor
conclusions than he is; ho must never
nuspeut it, Sho may be uloverer than
ho, but sho must bo clover enough to
conceal it. Sho must follow him always,
hut, like littlo .lulus, it must bo with
unequal footsteps or his vanity is
wounded. From twonty-llvo to thirty a
woman has tho most dllllcult part of her
lifo to llvo. She has to dissemble in the
present, remember from the past and
borrow from tho future. Sue may bo
dolightful, hut she is far from being do
lighted. Do you begin to roullzo It?"

HOTEL EXPERIENCES.
Qucur (.'uc of XlKhttuuro ltovolopeil in
u Wiulilui'toii Hostelry.
"Among tho many queer experiences
gained in a hotel," said the clerk of an
uptown hostelry, "are those connected
with guests who aro subject to night
mure, which is more common than many
people suppose. It is not uncommon
for a night in a largo hotel to develop
Heveral eases of this kind. In the still
ness of tho early morning hours heavy
groans or a shriek may bo heard sound
ing along the corridor. The hall-boy
-wakes up, rubs his eyes and awaits to
boo what is coming, and if he is a now
one at tho business half expects that a
murder 1h being committed.
"Wo had a ease not long ago of a gen
tleman hero who, during the middle of
tho night, began pounding on his door,
-yelling at the same time: 'Let me out!
Let mo out! Help! Help!' Tho hull
boy rushed down to thu desk, and, with
tho night olerk and tho porter, hurried
hack to tho room whence oaino tho
wounds of distress. All was quiet. They
waited awhile, then knocked. Tho sub
jeotof tho nightmare came to the door
feeling very much crestfallon. lie ox--plained
that ho had euten a too 11 bo nil
Hupply of deviled crabs during the
previous evening and that ho had
dreamed that ho was looked in ono of
tho immense money vaults of tho Treas
ury, which he had seen during ills visit
to tho city, Ills own cries for help hud
caused him to wake. Such eases, more
or less exciting, aro of almost nightly
occurrence in n largo hotel, and aro
usually greater when the social season
is ut its height. The guests who got in
toxicated are not included in this class
of nolso-mukers. They form a separate
Btudy alone, and inuko tho night lively
very often." Washington Post,
Of !itiri Ho Nuw Him.
Two acquaintances meet on the side

enough," replied tho aged weaver,
simply, with no intention of placing tho
young man in an embarrassing position
before his friends, "like enough, sir;
for, after all, it takes somo brains to do
this." Youth's Companion.
