THE LAMBERTVILLE RECORD
WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1908.
BERMUDA MAlDENS.
The Reason So Many of Them Decide
to Remain Unmarried.

TO hemA1n UNMARRIED
In proportion to population there are
more old maids In the Bermudas than
In any other part of the world. This
is true Of all classes of the population,
but especially Of the oldest and wealth
lest families, who have been connected
with the islands ever since they were
colonized by the Virginia company In
1912.
Five out of six of the daughters Of
the old planting families do not marry
in spite of the fact that they are pref
ty, with a delicate rose flush type OF
beauty, extremely well bred and ac-
compIished and just as nice as girls
can possibly be. Their failure to mar
ry is standing source of wonder TO
the whole of the West Indies.
An antiquated law is undoubtedly
responsible In part for this state Of
things. BY this law provision is made
for the daughters TO take shares of
landed estate when their father dies,
but if one marries she loses her for
tune. 1t is taken away and shared
among the others. Under this law
many girl of the better class is
robbed of the dowry which is rlghtful-
~ hers. Sometimes she will not marry
her sweetheart at the cost Of her for
tune; sometimes the mercenary swain
will not marry her If she has nothing
to bring him but herself.

Wolston speaks of an organ contain
ing 100 pipes which was erected In the
tenth century in England. This instru
ment was blown by thirteen separate
pairs of bellows" 1t also contained
large keyboard. There are drawings Of
that period extant which represent the
organ as an instrument having but
few pipes, blown by two or three per
sons and usually performed on by
monk. The keys, which We're played
upon by hard blows of the fist, were
very clumsy and from four to six inch
es broad.
About the end of the eleventh centu-
ry semitones were introduced into the
keyboard, but to all appearances its
compass did not extend beyond three
oetaves. The introduction of pedals In
1890 by Bernhardt-giving compass
d fat to A--was another important
contribution to the instrument. These
were merely small pieces of wood OPP
Grated by the toe Of the player.

Lake Batticaloa. Ceylon, has the
probably unique distinction of being
the home of musical fish. The sounds
emitted by these are said to be as
sweet and melodious as those which
would be produced by series of 1Eo-
liam harps. Crossing the lake in a boat
one can plainly distinguish the pleas
ant sounds. II an oar is dipped in the
water the melody becomes louder and
more distinct.

ON LIVING IN FLATS
THE VANDERBILTS HAVE TAKEN
WINTER APARTMENTS
The Troubles of the Rich Are Numer-
Gus, and Their Lives Are Not All
Sunshine, as Some Persons Seem to
Think.

Flats have suddenly become respect
able in New York! This is very cheer
ing news to all those unfortunate per-
sons the country over who live in
apartments and have had some doubts
whether or not their social position is
effected thereby. The reason for the
social rehabilitation of the fat is be-
cause Mr.. and Mrs Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt have taken a simple fiat of
seven rooms in New York for the WIN
ter, where they cannot possibly squeeze
in more than three servants. When 1t
was first rumored that the Vanderbilts
intended to take a f1at-the smart set
saws f1at-society could not credit its
ears.
Vanderbilts in a fiat! 1t is unthink-
able! But it is so and probably
apartment house rents went up on the
spot-and heaven knows they We're
high enough before. All sorts of con-
lectures were made as to the reason
for this democratic manner of living
on the part of one branch of the Van
derbiIt tribe, and it is now given out
that, having two country houses, the
young couple intended to be in town
only for few months and desired to
be free of care.
Few can realize the work and re-
sponsibility of maintaining one OF
those large New York establishments,
such as the Vanderbilts' and Astors'.
It is easy to see that Mrs. Alfred Van
derbilt is a woman of common sense,
daring to live simply in spite of her
millions. The rich have their troubles
as we'll as the poor and one of them is
constantly to live up to what is ex-
pected of them by the crowd.
A rich st. Paul woman once told the
writer that of all the things she want
ed, a bargain her soul craved most.
But she said that when she saw one
advertised, and went to the shop, she
never dared ask for it; the saleswom-
an would have been so astonished. She
said she could literally see prices going
up as she approached. 1t is not so
much that this woman cared for what
was said, but any sensitive, refined
person shrinks from gossip about the
price she pays for what she buys.
Things in the smart set of st. Paul
have not reached the pass they have
in New York in regard to newspaper
notoriety, but there is too much gossip
altogether about the private affairs of
those in society. If one of the Wander
bilt women should go over in Eighth
avenue, New York, and buy something
at a cheap shop, the next mornings
Yellow Journal would have pictures of
Mrs. Vanderbilt enters the SHOP,
Mrs. Vanderbilt at the bargain coun-
ter" Mrs. Vanderbilt leaving the
shop" ETC., ad nauseam. The report
ers of the Yellow Journal in New York
are detectives who follow their victims
about with cameras concealed up their
sleeves.
So the poor rich have their troubles,
and could not be simple if they would,
because of the deluge of talk that
would enuse. But Mrs. Alfred Wander
bilt is not afraid, and has braved the
terriers known only to the rich, and
will live quietly this winter in fiat
with only three servants. Brave Mrs.

tricia, and could get no further.

ing to his part. II thought you didn't
know it, but it is only right you should

our conversation this afternoon"
For heavens sake" interrupted mi
lady, don't do anything of the sort!
This is too horrible! There is no man,
then, with whom one may find safety
but''-on a sudden nspiration-"you?"
THAT is just it," returned Mr..
Soames, imperturable; "and 1 wonder
whether, perhaps, it might not prove
a solution for YOU
ITO marry you?" exclaimed Patricia.
'Oh, but one could not ask such sac
rifice of you'll"
We'll" hesitated Arthur, 81 might
manage it If you did not expect too
much"
And so it was arranged, Arthur,
whose self-restraint in the early days
of his marriage partook of the nature
of heroism. learning later in life to
appreciate the pecuIiarities of his po-
sition. For, as he will tell you, with
quiet humor, there is compensation for
the husband of a wife who feels that
she owes him lifelong apology for
having induced him to marry her. 1t
is certain that the Soameses are a very
happy couple, notwithstanding that
their goings-on by no means meet with
the approval Of Celia AllStree.
''He INDUCES her absurdly,' this lady
tells her intimates, and she is more
eccentric than ever"
But Arthur, when any little freak OF
his Wife'S-Such a one for instance, as
took them to live in Paris for two years
while milady studied painting there in
a famous studios inclined to disturb
Lord Harley, will soon reassure the old
gentleman.
'Let her alone" says Patricia's hus-
band to his uncle. "She is sowing her
wild oats, and she could not SOW them
in safer company. Toward her thirtieth
year she shall settle down and you
shall have that great nephew you are
SO anxious for"
And his lordship. now confident that
his nephew after all may be trusted to
know his own business, anticipates
hopefully the coming of the heir, that
he may then depart in peace. Never
theless, his vanity is not dead yet, and,
