I to be a combination of pertections
that unfortunately does not exist IN
this wicked world
So, unless the girl has the nerve TO
elope with some man she has met on
the sly, mothers hand shuts the door
of matrimony to her and forces her
out into the bleak wastes Of spinster.
hood.
Generally, however, It is the older
sisters who ruin little sisters chances
of matrimony, and they do this even
although they are married themselves
and desire to see her we'll married.
But, it is the unfortunate habit OF
many families to constitute them
selves into an anvil chorus and sit
ready with their hammers to fall on
every beau little sister has and knock
him into the shape Of figure Of fun.
The young man may be a worthy
and estimable young man, but there
are none Of US in whom q lot Of
conscientious investigators after flaws
cannot find defects, and when the or
binary youth has run the gauntlet Of
family criticism, he hasn't shed Of
character left to him.
Sister Annie has discovered that
he is knock-kneed. Sister Susie that
he combs his hair the wrong way.
Sister Ella that his clothes don't fit.
Sister Hannah smells smoke on him,
Sister Julia fears he does not take a
serious view of life, and so 1t goes
until the poor girls little dream Of
romance is burnt up in the hot fire Of
criticism.
And while she is waiting for the
impossible man to come along who
would meet all Of her sisters re.
quirements, youth goes and old maid.
enhood comes and her chance to live
the life she wanted has gone by.
That's the reason that hands off
ought to be a family motto. Espe-
cially in love affairs. It's too much
family that is responsible for too
many old maids.

risk her life TO guard her, and all that
her well meant efforts amount TO Is
lust shutting poor Mary off from her
opportunities in the world.
There are women who never marry
because they are celibates at heart
They stay single because they prefer
their Liberty to any man. Domestic
ity and children have no attractions
for them, and they find In spinster'
hood the condition Of life that most
appeals to them. .....
These are bachelor women in con.
tradistinction to old maids. The old
maid IL the woman who wanted to
marry, and for some reason or other
has not married. To her, husband and
home and children are the only words
that spell happiness, and, lacking
these, she is miserable no matter
what else she has. Her world Is
bounded by a wedding ring, and II
she never gets this all the balance Is
cinders, ashes and dust.
This type of woman has no impos'
sible ideal Of husband. She doesn't
ask very much of a man except that
he shall be a man, and when she does
get married and lives happily ever af-
forwards, she almost always can lay
the blame at the door Of her med
ding family. .r' ..,..:.sr...
Sometimes she has had q mother
whose fierce maternal jealousy has not
been able to brook the thought Of her
daughter loving some man better than
she does her mother and leaving her
daughter to go away with him. Such
a mother will make every young man
who comes to the house SO unwelcome
that he will not repeat his visit.
She win hover around her daugh.

a chance to get acquainted with the
girl, much less to become sentimen-
tai, and If, in spite OF too much moth
er, the girl does get engaged, mother
never rests until she breaks the en-
gagement off. OF course, she will tell
you that she wants her girls to marry,
but she wants them to wait until they
are old enough and the right man
comes along, but she considers any
thing under so too young for matri-
mony. and the right man would have
