Ladies' Column (con't)
          ****

        The oft discussed motor car is, I hear, much
more "en evidence" in Paris than in London.
Mrs. CRAWFORD, the clever Paris correspondent of
the "Daily News," has returned from her travels
in Egypt, and may be frequently seen driving in
the Bois de Boulogne in her motor car, and there
is altogether a fair sprinkling of horseless carriages
to be seen in and about Paris.  I understand though,
that an electric brougham, belonging to M.  DORRACQ,
ran through London about a week ago, with the
driver perched behind.  They say this carriage is a
decided advance in the right direction, for it carries
enough power for a fifty mile run, and can be re-charged
for a similar distance for four shillings, and the speed
also can be exactly regulated.

        One hears a good deal about vegetarianism
now-a-days, but whether or not it is an ideal way of
maintaining life,  I really could not say.  This same
Mrs. CRAWFORD, whom I have just mentioned,
has been writing for "The Young Woman" an article
on Sir Isaac HOLDEN, one of the oldest men living
in this country.  His home is Oakworth Hall, in
Yorkshire, and he attributes his longevity to feeding
chiefly on fruit and vegetables.
