or WHOM IT MAY BE SAID, "'sHE

In America we have a class of
women invariably misunderstood
and often severely criticised by
writers and investigators from
other lands who visit our shores.
A young girl is young girl in
New York or Yokohama; a married
woman is married woman all over
the world; but what the French
call the third sex'--those women
who are neither young girls nor
matrons-are peculiarly our own;
they attain their highest usefulness
in America.
The third sex" does not neces-

there are no old maidsa today;
every woman who has neither hus-
band nor children to engross her

make her little corner of the world

often she is 'mothering'' someone
else's children.
In all Latin countries marriage is
an obligation for the women. When
a. girl reaches the age of 25-and
in many lands long before that
she must be married or she is dis
graced, and her whole family COM
bine to make her life, If not exactly
miserable, at least lacking in pleas

In France the unmarried girl of
a certain age is buried alive in
some convent; in England she
takes up some fad, horses or dogs

absolutely free to live her own life:

after than the very young girl,

After showing Benjie the great
palace he took him to see the
beautiful horses and hounds that
he used when he went hunting. He
even allowed the little boy to be
placed on one of the horses for a
ride, and he blew the hunting horn
just as loud as he could. As they
started back to the castle the
doves came flying up with the
cushion and the king told little
BENJAMIN 1t was time for him to

in the nursery window and laid him
down when he heard his mamma

that much more fullness, both in
waist and skirt, will be worn for
dress up occasions. However, all
the folds are of the softest variety.

Much ribbon and many folds are
