BEHOLD the old maid!
- Presto, change!
Behold the girl bachelor!
There is a difference OF opinion about
the much talked-of girl bachelor. Some
saw that she Is new species in the So

she Is only a modified form Of the IA
mil;ar division of the social Kingdom
known as the old maid. There may or
NAV not he any real difference between
the two, but theoretically there is
great gulf set between them.

with a few grudgirgly admitted excep-
