Author of "A Good Old Siwash."

A bride Is young woman who is
about to cease thinking of floral
| bells, wedding presents, and hantl-
some clothes, in order to fix her
frenzied attention on wash women,
dirty dishes, dust on the piano, and
the price of beetsteaks.
This Is because the bride is a
young woman who has just been or
Is about to be married Being a
bride is very joyful and popular
experience. and Is written about pro-
fusely, but getting over being a
bride Is not embalmed in literature
very much except in letters to
mother.
A bride is beautiful vision in
silk and chiffon with long veil and
a bouquet and sad father in
new dress suit whom she has to pro-
pei to the altar by the arm. 1t
takes about 6 weeks and $1,000 to
make first-class bride who will
cause any excitement among the So

about to have bride do not gem

Brides are fragile and delicate to

are very durable. A bride goes to

WHEN DOES A WOMAN
LOSE CLAIM TO YOUTH?
At Twenty-Five is the Answer I'm
piled in Recent Dictum of Chicago
Y. w. C. A.

Chicago, Sept. 27-The board of
directors of the Young Woman's
Christian Association has revised it's
official opinion on the question Of
how old a woman has to be before
she must cease to be regarded as
young. The age limit of applicants
for admission to its home is Chicago
was reduced from 80 to 25.
T~wenty-one women, who gave
their ages as over % years, received
notice that they would be Obliged to
vacate their rooms at the organiza-
tions home as a result of the new
age limit.
The reason given by officials is
that the institution is crowded and
that the older women were asked to
leave to provide accommodations for
younger women who come to the city
from the country and need protec-
ton.
