Women Over Thirty.

The Rev. Madison G. Peters says in the
New York Journal: "a woman is never
an old maid until she becomes old maid
ish. l know many charming young women
of 80 who are not one-h half so old maidish
as girls of 81. American women here in
New York do not become old maids unless
they are born so. | believe that the re-
proach in which the word was once used
has gone out with great many other fool
ish superstitions Women are not brought
up nowadays to believe that their aim in
life is marriage. They are broader minded
and do not gossip about unmarried men
or women, They know that many remain
single through choice. No, do not think
that old maidishness is n question of ago
as much rs it is of disposition.
Murat Halstead was emphatic in his de-
Tense of the unmarried woman over 30.
1T Is my IMPRESSION" he said, that
women become much more attractive after
that age, be they married or unmarried.
They understand life and its responsible
ties better than when younger, and they
are truer and more sympathetic comrades
and companions. The most charming
women do nat always marry, and the old
maids of today are sought after moro than
the debutantes, in my opinion. l think
that Balzac's woman of 30 is a perfect de-
scripton of an ideal old maid l am sure
that this is the only kind that exists now
adays."

Indebted to His Wife,

Writing of the greatness of Dwight L.
Moody, in McClure's Magazine, Professor
Drummond says: IF you were to ask Mr..
Moody-which it would never occur to you
to do-what, apart from the inspirations
of his personal faith, was the secret of his
success, of his happiness and usefulness in
life, he would assuredly answer, Mrs
Moody.
The professor means more than merely
to state the fact that Mrs. Moody has
greatly aided her husband in his success
full and useful life. He intends to show
that Mr.. Moody knows she has powerfully
helped him to attain his commanding po-
sition and is willing that the world should
also know his Indebtedness 20 her.
This Acknowledgements, Professor Drum
mond thinks, is one evidence of Mr.
Moody's greatness. The professor is right
There are too many successful men who
trade upon their wives capital and never
acknowledge that, though SILENT they are
effective partners.
Daudet, the famous French writer, re-
sembles the American evangelist in con-
Tossing his Indebtedness to his wife.
81 must say, he remarked to friend,
"that in my literary work L owe nearly
all to my wife She rereads all my books,
and advises me on every point. She is all
that is most charniine, and has IL wonder

Condolences of Children.

Never be too busy, too tired or too impa-
tient to enter into the condolences of your
smallest child When your little 5-year-
old girl runs to you, her winsome face
all aglow with excitement, and says raptur-
ously, ooh, mamma, l do so like Bobbie
Smith; l think he's so nice, and he likes
me, tool' do not ridicule the child and do
not turn to your friend with the remark
that cit is beau age already" but take
your darling on your knee, let her pour
out all her sweet thoughts show her your
undisguised interest in her little compan-
ions and friendships Find out why this
particular Bobbie is $50 nice" why she
likes him and if the affection is recipro-
Gated, and later, should you consider 1t
best that the friendship be discontinued,
take tender way of doing it; but, above
ALL do not put your child away with q
laugh. She is only a child, but her heart
will be deeply hurt, and she will think,
with the tears swimming in the bonny
eyes, that you are not interested in her lit
tie affairs and the next time she feels dis
posed to be confidential she will remember
the laugh and will lock up her little secret
within her own breast, and as time goes on
mother will be the last rather than the
first one to whom she will go. Remember
this if you wish to win and keep your chill
dren's confidence. -Philadelphi Times.
