persisted when women quit feeling

Some Reasons.
Some women are born celibates. just
as some men are: others are ambitious
and prefer a career to a husband, still
others do not marry because just the
right man never CONES their way, and
they prefer spinEterhOod to declining
upon a lower love.
Undoubtedly one of the reasons why
the old maid of the past was looked
upon askance was that. having no Work
of her own to fill her hands, and en-
plOy her mind, she was forever sticking
her finger in other peoples pies
Through sheer lack of occupation che
became a busybody, a gossip, and
firebrand in the community.
Perhaps the women in the past may
have married to escape being called
old maids" but no woman does so
now, for the Unmarried woman is no
longer the butt or the ridicule of fools
She is Z figure of dignity She is n
woman, who for her own good reasons,
has seen fit not to marry, but who
does her part we'll and wOrthily in the
world, and who enjoys the respect and
admiration of all who know her. and
even among married women she is enY-
led Oftener than she enyies.

WOMAN writes this:

w CAA<AAh WHITES Luib-
n 'sWn you 1 me why people
n speak of old maids with such
whitening contempt? Is a womaI moi
an individual? Does her own person
ality count for nothing? Must she he
valueless because she is not mated
Why must an unmarried woman be
regarded as old at thirty-fiVe, while a
man, whether married or single, is
young at that age? is this fair? Do you
not thing that the horror of being
called an odd maid drives many a girl
into a loTeless MARRIAGE"
Where do you live, sister, that such
a point of view still prevails concern
ing the old maid?' It's archaic. 1t be-
longs to the good old Adamite days,
when a woman was nothing but q
. small and Insignificant attachment to
man, not to this Twentieth Gentry
Age Of the Woman, when3 she is the
whole show; or thinks she is.
No Old Maids Now.
There are no more fOld maids" A
woman IS simply woman, no matter
what her age, nor whether she's mar
ried or single, bond or free 1t is only
in provincial circles of society that vOu
ever hear nowadays the term "old
maid or "old bachelor" II it is neces-
sary to designate the matrimonial es-
tate of people who are single they are
said to be unmarried, but no one
brands them with any especial epithet
Until your attention is called to it
you do not realize how completely the
terms old maid" and old bachelor
have become obsolete. All of US know
numbers of unmarried women who are
well in the fOrties, and unattacL d
men past the fifty mark, but no one
thinks of calling them "old maids" and
old bachelors In these days. when
divorce is so common and so many
people for one reason or another do not
marry, the matrimonial status of our
friends is not so important as it used
to be.
Undoubtedly, in the past the IN
married woman was looked upon with
a certain degree Of pity and contempt.
That was because a woman had no in
dependent position of her own, and il
she didn't have a family of her own
she had to be the fringe on somebody
else's family, She couldn't be anything
on her own account and her only
chance was to live in the reflected
glory of some man.
Therefore it was up to her to ret
married. MatrimOhy was the onv career
open to her, and il the didn't succeed
IN her husband hunting she was looked
upon as a failure. Hence the old maid
went into the discard and became 4
charter member Of the Down and Out
Club.
In The Old Days.
When a woman's bread and butter
and shopping ticket, when her social
Importance and her only chance to sit
at the head Of a table of her own. in
stead Of below the salt at some grud-
ging relatives, depended on her get
ting married, it was a safe bet that
she would marry II she got the chance.
So the woman who remained single
was stigmatized- by the popular, legard
as one who did not have sufficient
attraction to capture even a jOb-Iot
sort of man. For, in the days when it
was disgrace for woman to be un-
married, women were not given to
picking and choosing much among
men. The old maids prayer was, Any
body, good LORD, anybody"
