The report is that local religious
Institution which is for young wom-

at 35. Every woman over that age
will be marked % and requested to
skiddoo. This is painful. 1t is unkind.
What is worse, it is impracticable. We
are glad the task is to be performed
by women. No man nor set of men
would ever have dared tackle such a
problem-not they. This is simply
another example of woman's inhu
manity to woman.
We have been told for many ages
that a woman is as old as she looks
and man is as old as he feels. Just
now, we say it with regret, most WON
en- look like 60 and most men feel like
Methuselah. But the general rule
seems good one. 1t is plain, I'M
palatable fact that women will deceive
as to their age as long as possible and
then openly lie about it. There are
many women who were born during
the ravages of the civil war who still
claim sweetly to be in the thirties.
