Between Is and 10 only one girl
out of 73 marries. Marriages used
to be much earlier, and Miss Aus
tens delightful Marion Eastwood
maintained that after "a woman
could no longer expect to be loved
for herself. In the old novels 10
was about the extreme limit of age
for heroine.
Between 90 and "a one girl out of

ladies were called thorn backs" by
the much marrying Puritans of New
England, who preferred widows.
Widows throughout life have q
greater chance of remarrying than
girls have of marrying. The elder
Mr.. Weller has prophesied in vain.
"A little widow is a dangerous
thing" probably because it is easier
to glide into condolences with lady
who has known affiiction. Widows
from 81 to 81 are especially noted
for what, from the point of view of
girls, is mere poaching.

Better Business For the Ex-Barber
Than Working 'sFirst Chair

Is
A barber who tor many years was
connected with one of the big uL
town establishments has lately quit
the place where he worked SO long
at the first chair" and has gone
into little business venture of his
own that is paying him better than
his trade ever did. The scheme he
is now operating is an original one,
and if business continues to increase
doubtless others will follow his ex.
ample. The ex- barber not only car
ries on his trade in this city, but on
certain days in the week invades
Brooklyn and Jersey City. He car
ries his stock, which consists Of
dozen or so razors and several homes.
Some OF the razors are new, but
many of them are old ones which he
has touched up" and these are al
ways preferred by knowing bar
Der. He enters shop and starts
conversation on razors. This results
in each barber producing his pet"
as well as those that he is getting
tired of and which he is always
willing to sell or trade. This is the
ex-barber's opportunity, and he pro-
duces his stock. Then he makes a
dicker, and generally before he
leaves he trades one of his razors
for the one the barber is dissatisfied
with, but the barber always has 70
pay something. The usual price in
the transaction is from 25 TO so
cents. 1t often happens, too, that
the barber will take fancy TO one
of the new razors, and in such cases
he exchanges, but of course pays
moro than if it were just swap
Thus this man travels from place to
place, and sometimes razor given
in exchange down town and pro-
nounced by its former owner as no
good will be exchanged for another
up town, some barber becoming i'm
pressed while handling it with its
ring and good looks.
All BARRIERS have an idea that
razor when used too often becomes
what they call tired, " and they be-
lieve that homes, straps or anything
else cannot bring it around all right.
These tired" razors are the ones on
which the ex-barber clears his big
gest profits, and he gets them for al
most a song. He fixes them up at
home nights, and these form the
bulk of his stock the next day.
"Tired" razors are peculiar things,
he says, but if you know how to
handle them they only need a nights
rest.
This man does not confine himself
alone to razors, but carries other
ba-ber's tools about with him. He
will sell or swap anything, but there
must always be small money con-
sideration. Frequently razor swap.
ped by him finds its way into his
hands again, and in many cases he
has swapped it back TO its original
owner. OF course the old owner rec
ognies it and hesitates to make an
exchange, but he is sure Of his own
skill in fixing the razor up and
leaves it on trial. He says they sell
dom fail to prove all right, and on
his next trip to that shop the barber
gives another razor and pays the
difference. New York Sun.
