BY DOROTHY DHE
Worries lsIkhsst Paid Wsmaa Writes.


A woman writes me that she IS
continually twitted with being an old
maid, and that the married women of
her acquaintance look down upon her
because she is husbandIess, tho, good
ness knows, she could be at the head
OF a he-harem if she had been willing
to take what some of them did.
Gracious! I supposed that old maid
Joke had died of senility long ago.
II did not believe that there was any
body left, in the length and breadth
of the land, who was such an old-timer
as TO see anything humorous, or
strange in woman's either marrying
or not marrying.
In the days when every woman's
livelihood, her social position. and her
opportunities of enjoying life, depend
ed upon her annexing a husband. in
eYitably some stigma attached to a
woman's being unmarried. 1t showed
that she was failure in the man hunt
and that she had failed TO bring down
her quarry. For every woman was
in the chase. Every woman married if
she possibly could, and if she couldn't
get what she wanted, she took any
poor make-shift that offered.
In those dreary times, marrying was
the chief business Of woman; il was
the way she had to make her living.
because there were no occupations
open TO. her whereby she might make
her bread and butter except the most
mental ones. An unmarried woman
not have a home of her own. nor go
about unchaperoned until she was So
old that she had lost every tooth in
her head, and was doubled up with
the rheumatism
She had no absorbing interests.
nothing entertaining to do, and no
hopes, no ambitions, of her own. She
had to be : sort of ward in some rela-
tives family, when she wasn't an un-
paid servant. SO it is no wonder that
she was an object of scorn, and looked
upon as a failure because she had
failed to get even an approximate prize
out OF the matrimonial grab-bag.
But all of that belongs to the dark
ages of women history. Marriage has
ceased to be profession that women
follow for gain. 1t has become q.
career that they espouse for love.
When the average girl gets married
nowadays she does not feel puffed up
with pride because she has captured
a husband. Generally she feels that
she is making a sacrifice in giving
up an easy job for hard one, and re-
1inquishing her freedom and indepen-
dence. and her individual pocketbook.

business The general turnover tax
as the sole tax on business has much
in its favor 1t is uniform and equit-
able. If one business is taxed, all
businesses should be taxed and in the
same manner. In times of peace
there should be no artificial restraint
put upon any legitimate trade. be-
cause every line of trade is essential
to the general prosperity of the coun-
try.

GLORY OF THE SEAS
 OLD CLIPPER SHIP
 BEING DISMANTLED

Tacoma, Wash, Feb. 1S-An old clipper ship, the Glory of the Seas, which thirty-five years ago set a rec ord for '@windjammers'' between San Francisco and Australia, is being broken up here following the discov- cry that barnacles have eaten into her hull beyond repair.
 The stout old ship was built at the famous Donald Mckay yards in Bos- ton, Mass, In 1889 and, since then. has sailed on all the seven seas and called at most of the important ports around the globe.
 Some years ago the Glory of the Seas was purchased by a, Tacoma com pany and was put in the service be tween Puget Sound and Alaska. Each spring she would spread her canvas and sail away to the north, carrying supplies and employees for the Alas ka canneries operated by the com pany, and, in the fall, would return with the seasons catch.
 The old boat was built of oak and other tough woods and some of these are still in good condition. She is being broken up for what metal she holds.
