ed a weeks engagement at the Bijou last
night, as the headliner of a bill that will
rank with the finest attractions that Man
ager Wells has ever presented. Every act
was a hit, and there was more originality
than has been the rule lately.
The theatre was packed, and many We're
turned away. The building was conlforta-
BILE by the electric fans. The featured act
Houoini, was pronounced wonderful by
the storm of applause that followed the
feats enacted all through the exhibition
OF mystery. Thorn and Carlton made a
distinct hit in the presenta ton of their
comedy sketch. The duo were forced to
take three curtain calls. Cushman, Hol-
combe and Curtis 4were greeted with rounds
of applause, and in the presentation of
Herbert Holconloe's clever sketch they
made good the hit that they scored at a
past enga gement. Iaeliiott, Bush and Lei

THE SPINSTER GIRL
sHEOF TODAY COMPARED WIT"
SHE OF OTHER DAYS.
Ane Of tho Most Remarkable Socai
Developments Of tho Ago - Girls Are
Now Young Whom They Arc Thirty-
In Her Prime at 10. ~

One of the most remarkable social
developments of these latter days Is
the evolution of the mature heroine OF
| romance, says the London world
Formerly this post was allotted to the
young girl or the young woman. III
those times, moreover the adjective OF
youth would not have been applied ID
the maiden who had passed her 2oth
year and only in the spirit OF the gross
est flattery to the matron who haa
seen her three decades. 1t is typical oi
the age that this explanatory note
should be necessary. Now the express
sion "young" is purely relative. Inc
period of middle age has been entlreiy
abolished. Where almost everybody Is
younger than somebody else it is only
the few who are proud of their extreme
antiquity who can be regarded Win
any degree of certainty as old. At ~
the girl of today no longer retires on
the shelf as failure, to pass the rest
of her life in the humiliating position
of the maiden aunt whu deyotes her
self to the children or revenges herself
on the poor She is merely preparing
to start on new phase of life With
more definite plan and clearer vision.
Very often she marries and begins
afresh at 40. Sometimes she has been
known to be so greatly daring as to
enter on matrimony for the first time
when she has passed her 50th year.
For the matron the range is even more
extended. At 80 she is quite young
thing-gay, frivolous, skittish, to
whom society and filtration are the
chief objects in life. Ten years more
bring her to her prime. 1t is the period
of fascination, Of adventure, of i'm
pulse. The woman of 40 is capable OF
anything. She is the object of the
widest plans, the center Of the most
daring romance. At so she is probably
marrying for the second time. Three
score will find her approaching the
altar for her third wedding, and If she
lives long enough she may even reap
pear at later date to- bring her record
up to four.
