HOW OLD is AN OLD MAID.
Woman Kay lie One at &c and Not
One AT 10.

The Pittsburg COmmclc. al Gazctte
asks: When does a maiden become an
old maid?
All there the rub!
If somebody will determine this point
the social world will feel "a shock of re-
lief and then go whirling on more
smoothly than ever.
You who have never been old maids.
and never will be. have no idea Of the
worry certain class OF women endure.
As they approach the 3o-year- old
period they begin to get nervous and
show signs Of Impotence. They will
not admit that they are scared, but by
their eagerness TO attract attention ard
the ealnestncss with which they dis
cuss matrimonial ana kindred topics it
is quite apparent that they are merely
whistling to keep their courage up.
If they only knew that worry and
anxiety bring wrinkles, irritate the
nerves, and disturb the circulation
they would try to be calm Nervous
ness ages them more than hard work.
while disturbed circulation is a sure
destroyer of good complexion.
1t used to be thought that a girl had
lost her best opportunities if she were
not married before reaching the ago Of
p: but that notion has been efiectually
upset. She may sail along safely I'M
til she Is 80 and if she don't fret and
worry herself into q fright she can
even go several years longer without
being branded with the obnoxious let
ters .. NJ.
There are old maids who haven't
seen twenty summers and there are
lnaidens who have seen forty winters
who are not old maids. 1t Is a condi-
ton OF mind and heart rather than a
question OF years.
The records OF the license court
show that very large majority of
American women marry between the
ages OF 20 and 80, with more over the
latter age than under the former.
With fore gners it is different. The
women marry anywhere from ! - 20.
Hungarians and Poles are given to
carly marriages. Old men marry
young bits OF girls, but old women
rarely young men. The Hungarian
wants wife to help him make a iiv-
ing, and he wants her to be strong and
healthy. Their wives know what is
expected Of them, and assume the bur
deNs Ct wifehood with the feelings Of
our entering upon lifelong servitude.
American women look upon it Us the
beginning Of the best and most enjoy
able art Of life.
