HOW OLD IS AN OLD MAIDq
A Woman May BE One at Twenty and Not
One at Forty.

Whom does n maiden become an old
maid?
An. there's the rub
II somebody Will determine this point
the social world will feel shock oil rehet
aud then go whirling on more smoothly
Won 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 thirty-year-old period they
begin to get nervous and show signs OF I'M
patience. They will not admit that they
are scared, but By their eagerness TO at
tract attention and the earnestness with
which they discuss matrimonial and kim
bred topics it is quite apparent that they
are merely whistling TO keep their courage
up.
If they only knew that worry ana anxiety
bring wrinkles, irritate the nerves, and dis
turb the circulation they would try TO be
calm. Nervousness ages them more than
hard work, while disturbed circulation Is
a sure destroyer of good complexion:
II used to be thought that girl had lost
her best opportunities II she were not
married before reaching the age OF twenty-
one. but that notion has been efectually
upset. She may sail along safely until she
IS thirty. and if she doesn't fret aud worry
herself into fright she can even go seye;;
raj years longer without being branded
with the obnoxious letters o. NJ.
There are old maids who haven't seen
twenty summers, and there are maidens
who have seen forty winters who are not
old maids. 1t is condition. Of mind and
heart rather than a question, OF years,
afirms a writer IN the Pittsburgh CONNER
cidi.
The records of the License Court show
that very large majority of American
women marry between the ages OF twenty
and thirty. with more over the latter age
than under the former.
With foreigners it is different. The wo-
men marry anywhere from fourteen to
twenty. Hungarians and Poles are given
TO early marriages. Old men marry young
bits of girls, but old women rarely young
men. -The Hungarian laborer wants wife
TO help him make living. and he wants
her TO be strong and healthy. Their wives
know what is expected of them and assume
the burdens of wifehood with the feelings
of one entering upon lifelong serviitud6e.
American women look upon 1t ns the be
ginning of the best and most enjoyable
part of lite.

ALgssoN FROM PATAGONIA.
The Natives Despise Clothes and are Indif-
ferent TO Ornaments.
rgcribner for May.l


4 traveller newly returned from the
Pacific Ocean tells pleasant stories OF the
Patagonians. As the steamer he was on
was passing through Magellan's Straits
some natives came out TO her in boats.
They wore no clothes at all, though there
was snow in the air. A baby that came
along with them made some demonstrb-
ton that displeased its mother. who took
il by the foot, as Thetis took Achilles, and
soused il over the side of the boat into the
cold sea-water When she pulled 1t IN 1t
Law a moment whimpering in the bottom
of the boat, and then, curled up and went
10 sleep. The missionaries there have
tried to teach the natives to wear clothes
and to sleep in huts; but. so far, the
traveller saws, with very limited success.
The most shelter Patagonian can endure
is a little heap of rocks, or log 70 the
windward of him; as for clothes, he de-
spises them, and he is Indifferent to orna-
ments. o.,
II takes occasional contact with such
people as the Patagonlans to keep us IN
mind that civilization is the mere cultlva-
ton of our wants. and that the higher 1t Ii
the more our necessities are multiplied, un-
til, if we are rich enough, we get enervated
by luxury, and the young men come IN and
carry us out.
We want so many, many things. 1t seems
a pity that those simple Patagonians could
not send missionaries to us to show US how
to do without. Must the wants of the
body-shelter, clothing, and food-be cul.
tlyated first, before the capacities OF
the soul can be developed and graft
fed? Doubtless the missionaries know
their business, and are going about
it the right way; yet all the same it seems
odd that the rudiments of taste for
brown stone fronts and brocade and terra
pin should be cultivated as fit prelimi-
nary to Christianity. Count Tolstol is the
man for the Patagonians. Their attitude
toward luxury seems to be almost ldenti-
cal with his, and they would have scarcely
anything to unlearn before accepting his
teaching,

oulTEA FAMOUS VESSEL.
The First Steamship to Cross the Atlantic
Was the Savannah.


The question has frequently been asked
of the New York Times, " What steamship
first crossed the Atlantic?" There has
been some difference of opinion on this
subject, and the claim of priority has been
made for a number of vessels built IN as
many different cities along the coast. To
this city, however, belongs the honor, for
AN honor il was. OF having produced the
first transatlantic steamship. This was the
Savannah, built at Corlear's slip, IN the
East River, and launched early IN 1873.
The Savannah sailed from this port
March 90, 1919, with Captain Moses Rogers
in command. She proceeded TO Savannah,
where she arrived after q passage OF six
DAYS. Thence she sailed 10 Liverpool
April 9Th, arriving safely at that port after
an eiehteen-day voyage. When the Savan-
nah entered st. Georges channel, of the city
of Cork, it is said that she was described by
the commander of the British fleet, then
OF anchor in the harbor. Seeing the smoke
pouring from her single funnel the British
commander thought that the vessel was
on FIRE, and sent two cutters to offer help.
The Savannah was visited by thousands
when living at her pier, and the newspapers
of the day were filed with descriptions of
what was then wonderful feat of marine
construction.
An old Autograph of this ship was found
by a reporter recently in downtown
Office. She is represented as three
masted craft. square-rigged, and with two
unwieldy paddle-wheels amidships. The
single funnel is very tall, reaching
almost to the tops. Judging by the pad
one il led to the conclusion that the latter
must have been far superior to the former
as means of locomotion, and that the
engines were supplied for auxiliary pur-
poses rather than for effecting revolution
in marine propulsion. The fact remains,
however, that the Savannah was a steamer,
and the first one to Gloss the Atlantic.
