Happy Even as an Old Maid.

1t is not such dreadful calamity to
be an ''old maid" 1t is much better
than to marry where there is not deep
and abiding love.
The general opinion among girls of to
day seems to be that the life of an old
maid is a distinctly unenviable one. and
therefore to be avoided at all costs.
They shudder at the bare thought of
being left on the shelf" and ending
their days without having realized the
natural ambition of most women, i. G..
TO have home of their own. The
dread of remaining spinster is, in fact.
so great in their minds as to actually
lead some of them to marry a man Just
for the sake of changing their name
and showing their friends that they
have not failed to win something in the
great matrimonial market.
One does not know whether to up
braid such girls for their foolishness or
pity them OH account of the great unhap-
piness which is bound to follow their
marriages. Fer a girl who allows the
fear of becoming an old maid to urge her
into marrying the first man who asks
her hand, irrespective of all other con-
siderations, Will assuredly live to rue the
day she became a bride. The life of the
sourest old spinster in the kingdom
would, in nine cases out of ten, be pref
cradle to hers.
But the sensible girl who is in danger
of being left on the shelf" will look
around her and notice the happy lives
which cid maids lead nowadays. The
term "Old maid does not cause them the
slightest unhappiness. They are not dis
appointed women who, having failed tc
win a husband, pass their time in la
menting that fact. or saving disagreeable
or nasty things about more fortunate fe-
male friends and the sterner sex. In
stead they just come to the philosophical
conclusion that they are not of the mar
rying sort. to use phrase common
among spinsters. and settle down to en-
JOY life by helping others to do the same
In fact, there is a charm about the
life Of an old maid which very few other
women experience. She has such peculiar
! advantages of becoming a pleasant and
entertaining person, and all the little
! happinesses which she obtains lead her
! to forget what may have been a little re-
verse in a love affair years ago
| And if she lacks the love and care OF
! husband she is more than recompenSed
| by the love of other relatives, which she
| wins on account of her goodness and
! kindness of heart. As happy old maid

Tales and Comment
Of Interest to Women.

4 northern woman who has just re-
turned to New York after a visit of some
months way down south" says that
nothing surprised her so much. as the
Indifference with which the negro sely-
ants of the relative with whom she was
STAYING regarded the violation of the
commandment forbidding stealing. There
were several servants in the house, and
when Chloe or Mandy or Jake felt in
clined to appropriate anything, particu-
larry in the eating line. he or she just
did it, and never thought of such thing
as repenting the deed. One day Chloe,
the waitress, walked off with nice fat
turkey that her mistress had been count
ing upon to fill out a certain menu, but
when an investigation was started she
pretended complete ignorance. Her mis-
tress did not press the case, knowing
it was useless. About Il week later
Chloe asked to get off at certain time
to attend the special communion service
in the church. She talked glibly about
the spiritual uplift that she had expert
enced, but made no mention of the stolen
turkey.
Chloe don't you remember what YOU
did last week and then denied it?' asked
her mistress.

reply. Does yuh 'spose Abs gwine ter

The Girl of Today.

The girl of today is full and robust
One would almost call her heavy. She

There is Il new measurement Tor this
big GIRL and she mast be built in pro-

BIG girl only. She must be very we'll
shaped big girl There are new proper
tons for her, and she must conform to
them or she will be grotesque.
Her height is just five feet eight
inches. That is the height of the new
woman. 1t is MS tall as a man, and she
measures shoulder to shoulder with the
average man.
Her weight is about 140 pounds. The
new woman can vary in weight from 135
to 100 There is q difference in mortals,
In the texture of the bone and muscle,
tie sineW and the hardness of the flesh,
which win account for the difference III
weight of different persons of the same
size. There are girls who look apparent
~ the same weight, yet who weigh vast
iy different But it is safe to say that
40 pounds is about right for woman
of five feet eight inches.
The bust measurement of this new
ideal woman is 3S inches. This is the
ideal bust measure, so shirtwaist makers
tell one. Thirty-siX is rather slight and
10 is much too large. But IS strikes
the happy medium.
