Why a Woman Hides Her Age,

"Pll tell you why it is we women
hide our ages" said one OF the sex the
other day to New York World man.
"Ninety-nine out of every hundred
regard marriage as their one end in
life. Now, it's a curious fact, but true
nevertheless, that man as a rule
wants young wife. Whatever his
own age, his wife must be young and
attractive and all that. II a woman
is married when she is getting on in
life it's only thrown in her face. Peo-
pie say unkind things about her. She
is charged with q desire to marry any
one, or some one may say that she
set her cap for the man she married
because she feared to be an old maid.
Women, too, are at their best at 80.
Men don't think so, however, and so
they are obliged to keep their ages
down to the limit set by their masters.
These two reason-a desire to comply
with mems arbitrary standard and q
fear lest their own sex may say spite
full things il they marry when no
longer in their teens-have led women
into the habit OF falsifying their ages.
Secondary reasons spring up from
these two. The young girls of
family are often obliged to keep their
ages down in order that their older
sisters matrimonial chances may not
be spoiled. Sometimes an ambitious
mother keeps all her children's ages
down in order. that she herself may
not appear too old. But, as a rule,
once married, woman's age pro-
crosses as nature intended it should,
and she has birthday every year.

difficult places may not occupy more
than one tenth or one.twentieth OF the
whole road. or even sometimes not
more than few rods and yet we
have to haul half load over the

these bad places. Some places are
too rough. some too steep some too

coReETT CHANGES HIS PLANS.
He Will Keep Away from New Orleans as
Long rs Possible.

An Asbury Park special of Friday night
saws: William A. Brady, who is looking
after the interests of Jim Corbett. has
again changed his mind about the route
he Is TO take in leaving tho training quar-
ters at Loeb Arbour for New Orleans. In
stead of having special car attached to
the l:i5 tram to jersey City, as was yester-
day decided upon, tho party will 60 by
regular tram from North Asburv Park to
Philadelphia by the way OF Sea Grit. Mon
mouth Junction. and Trenton.
At Philadelphia the party will board the
Corbctt special. and at Washington the
combination car Escort and baggage-car
will be added TO the tram. The Escort is
for Corbett's special use, and the baggage
car has been fitted up with the punching
bag, weights. &c. At Charlotte, N. o., the
Escort and the baggage-car will be cut
from the tram, and Corbett will remain
there for at least twenty-four hours.
Manager Brady fears that tho New Or
leans climate will upset Corbett, so he
wants TO ward against any such contin-
gency by remaining away from the city as
long as he possibly can. The New Orleans
climate, Corbett says. always has a de-
pressing effect upon hum. 1t is the lnten-
ton of Manager Brady TO have Corbett

"Maggier Cline Bets on John T..

of money which they are very anxious to
place at odds of 100 10 20 and 100 to 90. but
thus far they have only been able TO lay
few wagers.
One of the largest bets made yesterday
was that of Maggie" Cline, the variety
actress. who, through her agent. John
Ryan, of Brooklyn, wagered $1,000 to 800
on Sullivan. Maggie" SAYS John l.. will
drop Jim" Corbett quicker and harder
than Throw-Him-Dow McCloskey."
Ridge Levien. the book-maker. says he
fluids il impossible to get any Corbett
money. Levlen has $4,000 to place for
Sulhyan's admirers at odds OF 100 20 co.
but owing to the small amount of Cor
bett money afoat he had only been able to
place small portion of It. In fact, he
claims that 1t is harder to find men willing
to back the Californian than 1T is to pick
winners at Gloucester. The Corbett men
want 10 or better for their money. Lee
