Benefits to American Manufacturers
Then. too, feel sure it viii be to
the advantage Of American manufac-
turing interests to learn definitely
just what Menelik's people want.
You know 1t is. unfortunately,
characteristic of the American manu-
facturer that he pays very little atten-
ton to his customers so long as they
keep on buying his goods and paying his
prices. He takes it for granted that so
long as they continue to accept the
offerings they are fairly well satisfied.
Now this policy has served fairly well
up TO this time because Americans have
been able to turn out better goods at
lower prices than could be obtained
anywhere else in the world. but of late
Europeans have been stealing our ideas
and so copying cur goods as to under
sell. US This Is particularly true in
Abyssinia. and believe it is well7nigh
essential that we should learn slndi-
lions at first hand. France, Great
Britain. Italy, and Russia mainta'n T.
cations at Addis-Abcba with pUihr cal

the Importance Of these nations, bet the

zone Of my main objects is to en-

two nations establish diplomatic rela-
lions. and it would give Us an entering
wedge for our trade in Abyssinia on a
new basis. have every reason to hope
that I will be successful. j am well ac-
quainted with NJ Alfred Jig. the Swiss
who for twenty years has acted as prime
minister for King Menelik. having met

nee in a time, and not so very
ago, twenty-five was the limit
10 girlhood, or rather young

The Washington times., 1903-11-08
OLD MAIDS AND YOUNG GIRLS.

- nee in time, and not so very
ago. twenty-five was the limit
10 girlhood. or rather young
womanhood Now. it is thirty,
and that means little or nothing. The
imaginary line, which is supposed TO
mark the division between girlhood and
the 'Old maid IS being set farther and
farther back, until there have arisen
grave doubts If it will not disappear
altogether.
Once II was supposed 10 mean that.
being passed, 1t became a bar to matrI-
mony. No novelist chose heroine over
twenty-five. OF course. he intended 10
marry his heroine to his hero and mar
riage after . On the womans part was
something to be avoided as something
which did not find 4 counterpart in
real life.
It will be observed that among the
fiction herOines of the present day win
be found a number who have gone to
the thirty-year limit. It was recognized
long ago that a woman did not lose her
attractions because she had gone over
this imaginary line. but the setting back
OF the line waited long after the recog-
milton.
ioslAZAG mas ldlO down the theory that
woman at thirty is at her most fasci-
mating age. She probably will not have
so long a train of admirers She NAV
have fewer partners at ball. Once in
while young man may make her feel
like 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. II young man married at the
age OF twenty-one and a young woman
at the age OF eighteen, then the young
woman Of twenty-five would have been
waiting seven years and probably il
would be justifiable TO consider that she
would not accept a husband.
But when marriage is the last thins
Of which a girl of eighteen and a young
man OF twenty-one are thinking and
when thirty on the part OF the man and
twenty-five for the woman is closer to
the average at which matrimony is I'M
dertaken then necessarily the age limit
goes back 1t should be set back still
farther, TO thirty-five, If it should be
considered as existing at all.
