WHEN A WOMAN
BECOMES A SPINSTER

A well known woman writer, who con-
fesses to being spinster, writes interest
ingly of the time when she first realized
that all idea of becoming a wife had van
ished from her mind. Perhaps others have
assedthrough the esameexperience; doubt
less there are still others who reach it in
course of time
Several Of my friends she says, 'had
stepped from the charmed circle OF youth
ful friendship into the field of matrimony
L had witnessed their departure, and
the breaking up Of our small number with
lonely sinking OF the heart, but wholly
uncon scious of the cause which was slowly
but surely undermining the pleasures of
the past.
NOT long after, my spirits rising, under
what proyocation know not 1 was about
to indulge in some girlish freak, when my
aunt, a prim maiden lady, checked my out
burst OF gayety with the words: My dear,
how would l look acting So? II was a
thrust which proved effective. My ex-
uberaDce of spirits was gone. ! felt an
gryand mortified. l dearly loved my aunt,
but | was not yet ready to retire into the
certain position OF uncertain age, which
she occupied in society, and the comparison
OF department between us caused outward
discomfort and inward pain.
That night, after / retired to my own
room, l pondered long and seriously, and
at last, looking over my girlish treasures
which L ever cherished under lock and key,
| selected d large bundle OF letters and
with q sob in my throat cast them all
into the fire and watched them until each
blackened edge had curled and shrivel-
ed into dreary heap OF ashes. The first
link had snapped binding me to the past.
The iron had entered my soul. 1t was
the beginning of the end. The next step
was attended with less emotion. Again
the treasure box stood open before me,
but the whiff Of old, dried flowers, cher
ished for some tender remembrance as
sociated with their once fragrant beauty,
brought me only perplexity.
The occasion prompting their committal
to that precious box had quite slipped my
memory, and as / dumped them into my
all-suffering crate l smiled grimly at the
change already wrought in me, though the
smile was followed by sigh-not for for
gotten memories, but for the youth fast
vanishing that had known and cherished
faded flowers.
There is a suspicion in my mind that the
world, seemingly forever young, has begun
to show signs OF maturity. Thisis anage Of
tolerance, and tolerance belongs not to
youth, but to years OF experience. Be that
as it may, the world looks with far more
kindly eyeinto the face ofthe old maid than
in former times. Her altered position, NJ
