There is an ancient tale of band
of Arabs being pursued by their enc

a horses color. Among the fleeing
band was a man with unusually keen
eyesight, and from time to time he
would describe to his leader the horses
ridden by the enemy.

At the noon halt the leader again
asked What manner of horses do

the warehouse company the following
letter: "Sir-We have the honor to
inform you that the mattress you sent
to our store had the moth in it. Since
the epidemic would expose the goods
of other clients to injury, we have

PLANT OF A sPINSTER.
An Unwilling One Asks Why Edu-
Gated Women Don't Marry


Unmarried women who would have
liked to marry but never had the
chance are not likely to confess the
facts frankly. The spinster who
makes her plant under the title why
Do Not Educated Women Marry?" in
the Independent probably wouldn't
have made it if she had been compel
led to sign her name, the New York
/ Times saws. But AN Unwilling Cali
bate" might be any one of millions Of
women. This ceIlbate, therefore, re-
garding her case as typical in many
ways, announces that she cannot un-
derstand why she has not been wooed.
She thinks the standard by which men
judged women must be wrong.
When I look around at the homes,
tie pitiful, inadequate makeshifts that
are cc:sed such, and when l read the
record of the divorce courts, and l
then look at my unmarried friends, /
wonder if marriage is really process
of natural selection and invariably re
suits in the mating of the fittest."
She is a college graduate, this cell
bate, and has met with a fair success
in teaching and writing. But as a
young girl her happiest dream was of
having her own home, husband, chill
dren, and the remuneration has not
been easy" She has mo beauty" but
she has had compliments on her good
looks, and is a skillful dresser. She
I comes of an honorable family, was
brought up to cook, keep house and
sew, can play cards, loves to talk to
men and is adept at outdoor sports.
And yet she has had only one offer of
marriage, and that an undesirable one,
and she is '.perilously near the dan
ger line of thirty"
Sage persons, she says, tell her that
woman must never let a man guess
she has any brains or knows how to
talk anything but utter nonsense. She
| is unable to follow this plan-doesn
think it a square deal to a man. Yet
men seem to like to talk to her, and
they tell her it is such a comfort to
find a woman who doesn't want to
talk nonsense all the time"
Perhaps they don't mean what they
say" she walls, but why did they
come to see me, then?"
They come to see her, and invite her
to go to dances, theaters and upon
Moonlight walks; and they confide in
her their love for Polly Jones or Sally
! Smith. Il am proud of their trust and
confidence, yet I cry out against the
essential impersonality of it all, as if
l were a sort of embodiment of the
