THE MOST FASCINATING AGE.

1t was Balzac, says the London Daily
Granhie who discovered that the woman
of 30 is more fascinating than the girl
of 20. Now the Lady's Pictorial puts the
zenith of feminine charm a decade later,
declaring that the apple of discord is due
to the woman of 40. 1t is an interesting
profession of faith, and one wonders
whether the general acceptance OF it by
mankind has anything to do with that
increasing tendency to defer marriage
till late in life which modern philosoph-
ers have often noticed and sometimes
deplored. If the woman of 40 is really
the most charming WOMAN 1T is only
natural that bachelors should wish to re-
main bachelors until they are fit help
mates for her. There is, however, one
reflection that should give them pause.
However much more charming than the
girl of 20 the woman of 40 may be there
remains a strong probability that she

OLD MARRIAGE NOTICES.


In the days of the society page, when
every social event is chronicled to the
minutest detail and a wedding is paT ex-
cellence the shining mark of the society
reporter in the race set before her or MIN,
it will be interesting to read some ola
wedding notices reproduced from copies OF
the South Carolina Gazette printed in
1871 1928.
These brief notices were the only pub
lished accounts of ceremonies which uni
ted the wealthiest and most influential
members of old aristocratic Southern
communities.
1t is curious to note the entire absence
of detail. Even the gown of the bride
| comes in for no comment, and few indeed
are the compliments paid. Her fortune
aud her merit were the only interesting
points about her according to the news
papers, AMI these two may often have
meant the same thing. The merit OF the
bride in those as we'll as with too many
in these days may have been the amount
Of "plunder' attached. Widows seem to
have been as witchingly successful then
as now, which is another link between
centuries.
A few of the most interesting notices
are as follows:
Jan. 18th, 1881. On Thursday night
last was celebrated at the Seat of the
Hon. Colonel Broughton, President of his
Majesty's Council of this Province, the

Tf4E nLn-TIME GIRL

THE OLD-TIME GIRL.
How sweet the memory of those days.
Now long since past and gone.
When girls were not all stocks and
stays
And bundles of "whale-bone.
The wasp-like waist was then drug
It had for men no charms;
And when fellow got hug,
No "steels'' then hurt his arms.
Lack-lustr eyes and nerves unstrung,
Were scarcely ever seen;
But muscles strong, the broom stick
a swung,
And swept the floors all clean.
Gone, gone, alas! the polished floor
The lavender scented hall:
And now no more the open door
welcome gives to all.
Rich carpets then were for the Turk
Germ breeding rugs unknown:
And girls who were ashamed to work,
Were left-yes, left alone.
With rudy cheeks and ample forms
And hearts both warm and true.
They bravely met life's fiercest storms
And fought life's battles through.
oh. what blessing, twas to gain
A help-mee such as this
To share ones joy, assuage ones pain,
And fill ones life with bliss.
A comforter through good and i'll,
Along life's rugged road;
And smooth the path, or steep the hill,
She'd tote her half the load.
The girl then gladly staid at home,
Feeding the chicks and hen,
Waiting fer the right one to come
No angling" then for men,
And then she knew what twas to love-
Her heart was given to one:
But now she wants motley drove
or idle hangers-on.
To him, the girl then gave her hand,
Who might her true love win;
Twas only worth she did demand
Not piles of boarded 'tin."
Now Mammon- worship is the rule,
Naght glitters now but gold
With money, girls would take a fool
No millionaire's too DID,
No wordcr. For the girls are taught
No pleasure meath the skies
Is worthy of = single thought,
Except what money buys.
Oh, for the old-time country girl,
Whose thoughts were not all given,
To pleasures vain and giddy whirl-
But making home earths heaven.
