opportunities for women, both terms
gave way to that Of bachelor girl.
The Jews would have no maiden
Ladies" and fearing that daughter
remaining unmarried would be ex-
posed to unpleasant illusions, they
bent every effort, frequently at great
sacrifice to themselves, to marry off
their daughter, SO that the stigma of
being undesirable should not cling to
her.
Primarily, the parents of Jewess
deem it their most sacred duty to see
that their daughters are happily mar
ried. This view often inspires and
influences the education and the
training of the daughter Neverthe
less, we have numbers Of Jewesses
who have never married and probably
never will. They can be found in
store, shop and factory as we'll as in
the library, school room, institution
and in the professions.
What kind of women are they?
Why have they not married? Do they
intend to marry some day? These
and similar questions naturally pre-
sent themselves. Some Of the answers
to these questions are that in many
instances these women are the finest
types of Jewish womanhood in
America, cultured and we'll informed,
warm-hearted and sympathetic and
thoroughly feminine. That many of
them are directing public schools, IL
braries, institutions and settlements is
an open secret; that numbers of them
fill the professions of law, dentistry
and medicine is a we'll known fact.
Why is it that such women are not
married.. Is it the result of economic
independence induced by higher edu-
cation? The answer is yes and no.
Higher education has given the
woman the courage to be honest with
herself 1t has also taught her to
consider marriage the highest and
most sacred tie This woman will
marry only when her standards per-
init her to do so; she will not stoop
to degrade her ideals by entering a
union that would assure her worldly
good, but would make mockery of
her ideals. AS the average Jewish
young man of today looks upon mar
riage as a stepping stone to financial
success, it can readily be seen that
such man cannot meet the stand
ards and requirements of the Jew
css who is an idealist and whose edu
cation and knowledge has made her
economically independent

dividual women of families who re-
manned unmarried SO that they could
devote their lives to acts of mercy
No such institution and no such sys-
tom ever existed among the Jews
Each Christian family had it's Cousin
Jane" or Aunt Ophelia" who sacri-
feed her womanhood in the cause of
others, devoting her life to the care
of orphan nieces and nephews or
aged father and ailing mother and
not infrequently to the care of some
hapless and helpless distant member
of the family. Among the Jews the
orphan and the ailing were always pro-
vided and cared for without the sac
rifce Of a daughter of the family;
the aged or ailing father and mother
as we'll as the orphan nieces and
nephews found a welcome home in
the happy family circle of the welded
JeWess.
The unmarried non Jewish woman
has remained so as a matter of con-
viction for the purpose of devoting
her life to others. She has also re-
manned unmarried for a cause or pur-
pose, believing that only self abnega-
ton to cause or purpose can lead
to complete usefulness and success,
be it charity, occupation or profess
sion. Not so the unmarried Jewess.
She was not educated in the school
of self abnegation and the sacrifice
of her womanhood to the care of
others would have been considered
great wrong to her by her parents
and relatives who believe that she is
rightfully entitled to live her full life
The Jewish girl is taught that belief
from infancy and is prepared by edu
cation and training for it's fulhlment
She is taught to look forward to
marriage as the goal of her life, her
vocation or profession being consid-
cred merely as a means of assuring
her economic independence until such
time as some good man will come
along and claim her as his wife.
In former years the term old maid
nearly always carried with it sting
of contempt. Not always were the
unsel6sh sacrifices made by the Aunt
Ophelia" and "Cousin Jane" appre-
ciated as they deserved to be. The
unmarried woman was looked upon
as unlovable and frequently consid
cred as burden to the family. Time
has changed this view, and to remove
the stigma of contempt implied by
the term old maid, that of Maiden

Forced to flee as the result of this

Valdor is an anarchist, in constant

THE BOOSTER HATS
HAVE ARRIVED
Everything In Shape for Big Time by
Bryan Boosters Who Go to Aus
tin on Thursday.

Much enthusiasm has been display.
ed over the prospects of the Boosters
trip to Austin. The red and white
hats arrived this morning and will be
distributed en- route to Austin. This
is a nifty hat, red brim and band and
tall white crown. Across the front OF
the crown in red letters appears
Bryan. the City Of Schools" Two
gross OF noisemakers have been or.
dered and will be given away on the
train.
The young men promoting this trip
have a surprise up their sleeve which
will be a novelty and sure to create
publicity at Austin.
II is now practically assured that
the Boosters will reach Austin in am
pie time to fall in behind the cadets
who will march up Congress avenue
from the station. In fact. II is expect
ed the corps will wait few minutes
until the Boosters train arrives.
This is an opportunity to put Bryan
on the map and one that should not
be overlooked and it is hoped every
person on the train will join the
Boosters and let them know there is q
city named BRYAN.

BUSCH ALMOST A PRO.

August A. Busch, president and
principal owner Of the Anheuser'
Busch Brewing Association, recently
gave out a statement of his ideas as to
what should be done by the ants to
counterfeit the rapidly growing prohi'
bition sentiment in the United States,
and in the statement acknowledged
that So per cent of the territory OF the
United States Is dry by prohibition
and local option laws and that As per
cent of the people of the United
States live in dry territory. Mr.. Busch
outlined five rules TO offset the grow
ing prohibition sentiment and II they
were carried out to the letter the
present saloon system of the country
would come so near being wiped out
that only their shadows would be left
His five suggestions are as follows:
Il. A strict enforcement by state
authorities OF all excise laws.
"2. The establishment throughout
the country OF the German saloon sys.
TEN, which permits only beers, light
wines and temperance drinks to be
sold in dramshops.
"3. Cooperation by brewers with
the state authorities to put out OF bust
ness every saloon keeper who does not
obey the excise laws.
a. Abolition OF treating In saloons
to discourage drinking to excess.
rs. Discontinuance OF bars in sa
looms, all service to be given at tables
at which customers will be seated"
In answer to the question as t
what he attributed the growth Of tn,
prohibition sentiment. he said: 1T
the violation of the law by saloons
Unquestionably the prohibition senti
ment is directed against the saloons
Not all saloons violate the law. bu

den gloom over the rOsiest, sunn1est
honeymoon for the bride to come I'M
expectedly upon her husband, finding
him pacing nervously up and down
the room, with his brows puckered
into a decided frOwn. Aren't you
happy, Harry dear?" she falters, unde-
cided as to whether to run to him or
of sulks or tears. Happy! oh GER
tainly," he answers quickly, ''but, by
George! 1 was just thinking 1 ought
to be back in the office. l didn't get
any letters letting me know how bust
ness is getting on, and it worries me-"
''You promised to think of me, and me
only while we are away" sobs his
bride, keen note Of disappointment
In her voice. ooh, yes, to be sure"
he answers, abstractedly, 'but loafing
about hotels or going sightseeing is
getting on my nerves. We could be as
happy and great deal more contented
at home. What do you say of getting
back?" When a husband begins to
talk like that, even the most ineXpe-
rienced of brides dimly realizes that
their honeymoon has reached it's re
NTH, and it has just begun to wane
bit. OF course, if she really insists
upon or makes a scene, hubby yields
to her wishes, but all of the time he
is taking her out sightseeing he is
harassed by thoughts of business
which will wedge themselves in. When
she thinks he is out on the porch en-
jOying a cigar, he Is found to be in
some hot, stuffy corner of the read
ing room, writing a long, anxious let
ter to the firm assuring them that he
will not be absent much longer. A
honeymoon is only really truly one
when both bride and groom can COM
pletely forget the pressure, care and
obligations of duties awaiting them at
home.
If worry treads hard on the heels
of pleasure the quicker the trip is
brought to close the better. That
does not necessarily mean that the
honeymoon is to end abruptly. Some
honeymoOns last while both live and
love. When man begins to grow
restless over extending the length of
the wedding trip, a sensible bride will
agree that coming home a week or so
earlier than they had planned will
not matter much after all. The So
called friends who might comment on
it are not earning the bread and butter
for hubby. Their opinions should have
no weight with a bride. Her hus-
bands interests, and his only, she
should study and conform to. To the
majority of couples there comes but
one honeymoon in lifetime; who
can blame them for making the most
of it? But very short and sweet one
is far better than a longer one into
which anXieties creep. Very often ex-
penseS are found to be more than the
most careful reckoner anticipated. The
newly welded pair never commence
to save until they are duly installed in
