WOMAN’S PAGE. Red Velvet in the New Umbrellas BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. Carrying an umbrella used to be Tegarded as a bitter necessity for the woman who could not depend on car- rfage or motor car to carry her direct 1o her destination, plus a flunky or @ footman or an awning canopy to tect Tier between the curbstone and the door. But umbrella carrying is now a luxury, For umbrellas are so cleverly designed along such swag- ger lines nowadays that rainy weathor 'Is robbed of much of ita former depressing effoct. No street sult is realiy fully equipped with appropriate acces- »ries without the corresponding um- brella, and shops where women g0 v careful accoutering make & potnt suggesting suitable umbrellas for all sorts of street suits and frocks. Possibly the rapid increase in the umber of automobiles in all our cities and suburbs has something to da with this good turn for the um- trella. The difficulties of being driven up to the curb where one shes to be, the impossibilities of rking cars where and when one have made women realize that | even though they drive their own car a chauffeur at thelr beek and 1 umbrella is usually a neces- of course, numbers of mart women here and abroad who regard it as a necessary part of their daily cxercise, rain or shine, to go atout on foot.

HEALTH HINTS By Bernarr Macfadden. securely a heavy cur- ick would do) There has been a tremendous. sace rifice of men of middle age.in Tecent years. Degenerative diseases of the arterics, kidneys, the heart and the liver are responsible for the increased mortality among men from fifty to five-five yeass of age. 1t is just at this time of life that the average man reaily becomes most valuable to the community. When men die off at this age it means the loss of the best brain power in the community, for they have reached the d at which they are able to do er work than ever before. ow these degenerative diseases very largely the result of the gnation and Inactivity of the erage man. No man who takes a pioper amount of exercise, who does not overeat, d who does not tax his system ‘withgalcohol or dissipa- tion. will devel®f these degenerative diseares at this early time of life. Tho condition of Kidney failure, or liver hardening, or heart fallure, or worn-out arteries. is not due for an- other thirty or forty vears. A man may be in many respects the picture of health, and yet cer- tain parts of his working machine may be worn out. This wearing out piocess can be prevented by proper habits and a normal amount of exer- cise. Ordinarily one may say that there chould be a difference between the excrcise a man should take after fifty, for instance. and that which he should take after the age of sgventy, but this will also depend up®n the individual. In England cross-country running has been a popular pastime for many generations, and the mid- dic-aged Englishman often takes us great an interest in. it as a boy. In mar ses it happens that a father will” start in the same race with his son. This goes to show that the man who has kept up athletic ace tivity may be able after fifty to pur- sue the same activities as in youth. But unless he has done this there is a possibility of strain through un- istomed exercise. e Refore undertaking any form of physical training it is advisable to have the heart examined. This does | not mean that ome must avoid all. exercises if the examination of the heart ix not favorable, Even a weak heart may be strengthening in time, but an examination is a good pre- caution. The Guide Post By Henry Van Dyke. The Higher Law. The law of the Lord is perfect, con- verting the soul.—Ps. 19:7. The true uplifting ‘and emancipa- tion of our life comes through the recognition of the higher tles and relationships which bind us. The progress and elevation of the soul 18 a process of discovering. not that it is independent and masterles: but that the lower 1 d cond tions under which it lives are subordi- nate to the higher laws, and that its bondage in a certain sphere becomes transformed into liberty when it is lifted up into a higher sphere, where both he that serveth ana '.e that s served are subject unto a supreme sovereignty which is above all That is what I understand by the reign of law—not the domination of one rils alone upon all that is, but the reign of law over law, the higher above the lower, and the highest of all supreme; so that those who rise to that last and topmost height, where God forever dwells and is what He commands, are sharers in His liberty and dominion. They become the sbns of God. not hecause they have cast off and re- nounced their obligations, but be- cause they have recognized them step by step, ephere by sphere, until at last they come with glad submission into unity and harmony with that which 1s soverelgn and ultimate. And that, if the Bible is true, is nothing else than perfect love. (Copyright, 1024.)

English {s a strangely compounded language, and may be made to reveal more of the history of the race that speaks it than commonly imagined. Invariably when we sort out words filling the older, elemental needs of | speech, we find that they are of Anglo-Saxon origin. Thus most of our words of geographical or topographical significance are Anglo-Saxon. such words as hill, fleld, cliff, etc. But hills, ‘valleys, forests. glades and the like are no longer so impor- tant to us as landmarks since the sage of centuries has developed 80 many place names and taught us the efficlency of arbitrarily naming new real estate developments. Hence a great many of these old Anglo- Saxon words have disappeared, or are rapldly disappearing from our vocab- ularies. If any one should direct us today or tell us that man lived on top of a “hough,” or climbed a “huft,” we could hardly be expected to understand. are all old words, of almost exactly the same meaning as hill, which have been preserved to us onl: in the form of family names, whic originally were deacriptions of the localities In which people lived. The “hough” was an elevation of land of somewhat less prominence than a hill. Such family names are found in the medieval records in the forms “de Howe," “de la Huff” or “atte Hough.
