"The reason | am an old maid" "
said the fifth woman, "is because
sacrificed my happiness to my family.
"All of my brothers and sisters
are married. They are prosperous
people with good wives and husbands,
and beautiful children, and charm
ing homes, and they are living full,
satisfying lives.
when I go to see them, they are
very sweet and patronizing to me,
and they poor Jane me behind my
back, and laugh at me in my face
when my views disagree with theirs,
and tell me it is pity didn't marry
when | was young.
"Once I overheard a little sixteen
year-old niece say to her mother that
she thought Aunt Jane was perfect
old dear, and then she asked her
mother why l was an old maid. To
this my sister replied casually, that
she was sure she didn't know, for
Jane had been an extremely pretty
and attractive girl, Perhaps it was
because Jane had never cared for
men. She was born a spinster.
81 smiled, little cynically at this,
for I could have told my sister that
she was one of the reasons why
| had never married, and why was
lonely old maid, derelict drifting
aimlessly about on the sea of life
instead of being snugly anchored in
the safe harbor of my own home.
The Family Burden
Certainly there was never any
woman to whom the domestic life is
more alluring than 1t is to me. All
my life I have longed inexpressibly
to love and be loved. ! adore chill

to pots and pans, and as young
girl I had no dreams of a career ex-
cept the career of wife and mother.

the children, whose needs and desires
had been so many and so insistent,
and so in my plain little working
clothes, with even my hair combed in
the most economical and time-saving
way, no man had looked at me for
years except as he would at highly
efficient piece of machinery that was
guaranteed to run without creaking
or oiling, or breaking down.
Zone man there had been in the
early days of my sacrifice who wanted
to marry me, but although I cared
for him very much | refused him.
| could not saddle upon him the bur-
den of my familys support. Neither
could l leave them to starve. l
knew when | sent him aw:.t that l
sealed my doom, but l could not buy
happiness at the price of sending my
little sisters and brothers to the bleak
shelter of an asylum or the slavery of
a factory.
"That's why I am an old maid. I
sacrificed myself to my family, but
they have never realized it. Even
my mother. when she boasts of how
well her other children are married,
wonders vaguely why l didn't marry,
too, and says, half apologetically that
Jane was the best-looking of all of

immigration Test at Con-
clusion of the War

Rome, March 15.-The literaey test
clause of the United States immigra-
tion laws, which is to take effect May
1, has already resulted in the stimula-
tion of the study of English among
Italians who expect to emigrate to
America when the war is over.
In the belief of the Italian Commits
sioner of Emigration there will be
more than enough work to be done
in Europe, and at good wages when
the war is over, and the governments
are expected to do all possible to dis
courage emigration. However, inquiries
already being made at the American
consulates indicate that a large num-
Der of soldiers are considering the pos
sibility of going to America when re-
leased from service. Reports that the
United States has become immensely
wealthy because of her war sales are
prevalent here, and relatives of many
Italians have written home from
America telling of opportunities that
are more certain there and urging
them to come when the war Is over
without waiting to discover whether
Europe is or Is not going to recover
from the set back given by the war
One of the commonest remarks which
Americans In Italy hear from store
clerks, from soldiers. or from BARRIERS,
is that they think of going to America
when the war is over.
An interesting phase of immigration
possibilities Is the belief expressed in
some quarters that many of the htth-
erto well-to-do Italians of the educat-
cd classes who have suffered by the
war may go to America to recoup their
fortunes.
While Italy furnished the largest
number of emigrants to the United
States before the wnr of any single
nation. for the fiscal year ending June
so, 1914, tho number being 2sS.Ta8,
