The BACHELOR GIRL.

The other day there was a most
amusing discussion. the point of debate
being the never worn out subject of old
maids. Now, as everybody knows, the
old maid of former days, that unat-
tached individual whom younger sisters
placed upon the shelf before her time,
has almost entirely disappeared from
the face of creation. The bachelor girl
has taken her place, that product of
the age who frankly refuses to marry
until she can marry after her own heart
and gain some advantage in the proc
winning in that she values her indie
pendence so highly, not the less, as
some would have it, but all the more
Iovable and companfonable because Of
her broader views and wider scope of
work. A pessimist who took a promi-
nent part in the discussion, which.
needless to say was a heated one. both
sexes being represented. was heard to
say that the marriage rate is rapidly
decreasing, that proposals are fewer,
and, no wonder, as men have every rea-
son to be shy of matrimony. But an
optimist in the shape of a well known
journalist stoutly defended her sex by
stating that, on the contrary, proposals
are far more numerous, but that ac-
ceptances are fewer by reason of wom-
ems exigence. No conclusion had been
arrived at when the meeting broke un.

In Mrs. Hinton's room at the house by

soft felt hat that was so popular among
soldiers of the civil war. The shoulders
and chest are broad and deep: the
bearded, powerful face is full of cour-
illness and benevolence too. Here is the
face of a man who would die for a

CHAMBERLAIN'S BLUFF.
Funny Bit of Ante War History Re-
vealed in Parliament.

London, Feb. 5.-An interesting bit of
ante-War history was revealed by the
Liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, in the house of commons
today, in the debate on the proposed
amendment to the address in reply to
the speech from the throne.
Referring to Joseph Chamberlain's
gibes at the attitude of the opposition
when Mr.. Chamberlain had defended
the course of the government toward
the Transvaal, Sir Henry said that when
Mr.. Chamberlain interviewed him June
20, 1899. prior to the war and asked him
if the opposition would support the gov
eminent in sending out 1000 troops to
Cape Colony. Sir Henry expressed sur
prise, whereupon Mr.. Chamberlain said:
You need not be alarmed. There will
be no fighting We know these fellows
won't fight. We are playing a game of
bluff
As result Sir Henry added the oppo-
sitiOn refused to relieve the government
of any responsibility regarding the
course It chose to pursue The state
ment OF Sir Henry was greeted with roars
of laughter from the opposition benches
Mr.. Chamberlain. in reply, said he did
not remember using the word bluff His
only object in approaching Sir Henry was
to make sure that the South African
question should not be treated in a party
spirit, SO that the Beers might be con-

tain.
