Would Not Eat the Pudding

Please don't laugh nj this true story
1t rs an exceedingly serious matter. And
then, too, the poor little woman had been
SO very particular to impress on the
"greenhorn" girls mind that if she paid
strict attention to what she was told and
followed instructions to the letter, every
thing would be all right. That was the
Saddest part of it all
1T she had merely told the girl to make
a pudding for dinner. and had let it 20
at that! But, You see, she had guests
and was afraid there might be some mis-
take about it. so she went to the kitchen
herself and laid out all the ingredients
for the pudding, telling Bridget just how
10 mix them. and warning her impress
Siyely against doing it any other way.
Now, you may think some kind of n
Joke Is coming out of all this preparation,
but l tell you there is nothing of the
kind. The girl made the pudding pre-
cisely as she was told, and the guests
llked it--yes, and not only ate plenteous-
~ 1t, but even spoke Of its excellence,
for they were all intimate friends of the
hostess and knew she had n greenhorn
cook.
Then the little woman rang the buzzer
and brought Bridget from the kitchen in
order that she might encourage her by
compllmenting her in the presence of the
guests.
bridget, Sdlu Sne, everybody says
your pudding is a great success"
The guests all chimed in with various
complimentary remarks.

Manual Training and Homework.

The principal of a well known school
of cookery remarked not long ago that
the chief obstacle to success with the
fashionable folk who thronged her
classes was their ineffciency, SO far as
their hands were concerned: their minds
were alert and their memories retentiye.
but their hands were almost useless This
deplorable fact. she said. was at the bot

Old Maids Are Scarce.

There are fewer Old maids nowadays
than in former times. A woman does not
now become an old maid at as early an
age as thirty or forty years ago The
imaginary line at which a member of the
gentle sex becomes an old maid is bel. -
set farther and farther back until there
have arisen grave doubts if il will not
disappear entirely. Once - was the liif-
1t Of glrlhood. New it is 80. And it
means little or nothing.
Once It was supposed to mean that,
being passed, il became bar to matr-
mony. No novelist chose a heroine over
%. Of course, he intended to marry his
heroine to his hero, and marriage after
70 on the woman'S part was something
to be avoided as something which did
not find a counterpart in real life.
1t will be observed that among fiction
heroines of the present day will be found
number who have gone to the 30-year
limit. 1t was recognized long ago that a
woman did not lose her attractions be-
cause she had gone over this imaginary
line, but the setting back of the line wait
ed long after the recognition.
Balzac has laid down the theory that
a woman at 30 is at her most fascinating
age. She probably will not have so long
train of admirers. She may have fewer
partners at ball. Once in a while Il
young man may make her feel like a
grandmother by coming to her for advice
in his own love affairs.
The setting back of the imaginary line
has followed the practice of late mar
riage. If Il young man married at the
age of 81 and a young woman at the age
of IS then the young woman of - would
have been waiting seven years, and prob
ably would be justiiahle 10 consider that
she would not accept a husband.
But when marriage is the last thing
Of which a girl of 10 and a young man
of 21 are thinking, and when 80 on the
part of the man and % for the woman
is closer to the average age ut which
matrimony is undertaken. then necessari-
ly the age limit goes back 1t should
be set back still farther, to 3d. if it

by Il learned Brahmin that. as Il part of
the pillar had been driven So deep into
the ground that it rested on the head of

the earth, it was now immovable. and
that dominion would remain in his fami-
