And now Uncle Sam wants 81 500. 900
from Corea on account of a trolley
line that some Americans, speculative
ly inclined. built. This means another
pacific blockade.
In the German navy are $4,000 men
as against $1,000 IN the United States
navy, but Mr.. Iewey counts more
than one when he takes a hasty break
fast.
DR.. Lorenz not only straightens
crooked limbs, but he admires all
American women. In the latter re-
spect he is not ahead of the natives.
A pacific blockade is a bit worse
than a belligerent blockade, for de-

sink captured ships.

SHE FINDS HUSBANDS
WOMAN WHOSE BUSINESS is TO
MARRY OFF OLD MAIDS
Says Plain Looks Are No Detriment
Girls Unmarried Frequently
Because They Don't Come
Across the Right Man.

There is an educated, well-to-do woman
on the upper East side, who devotes much
of her time and some of her money to
finding husbands for old maids. She is
American BON, but of foreign parentage,
and her husband is a fellow countryInan
Of her father.
Those who know me only specifically
think | am a crank" she said in a cons
versation upon the peculiar kind Of phi
lanthropy she has chosen. eff they hap
pen to be more charitably disposed they
set 1t all down to an inordinate passion
for matchmaking. The way l became In
terested in my present work, if one may
call it work in the philanthropic sense
of the word, is this: In my younger days
I once came across a novel by the broth
ers GOncourt, in which, among other
things, I found a remarkable description
of the sense of loneliness which bore
down poor unmarried woman 1t was
deep and most convincing psychological
study, and it made a profound impression
on me. At that time 1 was engaged to
marry the man I loved, and the future
seemed to have nothing but happiness i'll
store for me. But the picture of that girl
haunted me. I would imagine myself in
her position, and tearfully cling to my
fiance. as though fearing to lose him and
to remain as lonely and miserable as the
heroine of that novel
She Was Too interpretive.
'I became intensely interested in the
subject Of old maids in general, and
carefully studied every case of this kind
that came under my observation. There
are a thousand and one reasons why some
girls remain unmarried, and plain looks
are certainly not the most frequent cause
of it. One of the women for whom 1 have
been trying to find husband was decid-
edly the prettiest creature among all the
women I knew as that time. She was
forty-two, but she looked twenty-five or
twenty-siX, and she was well formed and
full of grace. The men of her acquaint-
ance kept at respectful distance from
her, but that was due, as I discovered,
to a certain effect Of melancholy pride
and mystery which her face and manner
produced. She piqued my curiosity, and
I would not rest until I learned the story
Of her past life. Well she had been in
love once, madly in love, and her passion
was reciprocated, too but unfortunately
she belonged to the rather numerous type
Of women who are never sure of them
selves, who are forever raising questions
and picking flaws in themselves as well
as in others. In short, she, did not think
she loved her young man sufficiently TO
marry him, and, of course, the more she
burrowed in her own soul the more proof
she found that she was right. The human
soul is a sort Of curiosity shop you
know. You can find anything you look
for there.
Her lover, on the other hand, was
1evel-headed, matter-of-fact fellow, too
busy to delVe in his soul, that is to say,
to make himself sick. So he really did
no know what she was talking about,
and begged her to have the wedding as
soon as possible. She shook her head
pensively. Low can 1 marry you with
