AWOUT OLD MAL To the Editor of The Chieago Trittene, Cuicago, Oct. 17.—There are so many things 1 would like to. say that I scarcely know where to begin, ‘I would flke ta give Forty Nears a few ideas to thinlc about be- forvhe retires for the night; f think his barks worse than his bite, but Lam notin a vert beltigeront. mood to-night, aud sa will reserve tham until some future time, I no- ticed that tho Joly Old Bachelor has come forward to vindleate the rights of bis set, and, notlelng that the old maids also’ had been ridiculed and commented upon, L thouht it only right that some one should coma to the rescue, In tho - first place, 1 beg feave to observe thatE ain not an old maid, and therefore do not write from prejudiced. views, or ‘esprit du corps.” But [have lived tong enough to reinember many s possible ol maid when in the bleom of her “sweet seventeen,” and to have no- tleed the subtle trausformations effected by tnt finger of ‘Thue, Were it not that with a certain order of minds truth is readily sie- rificed for tho sake of n joke, 1 shonld Hud it didicult to lungine how tho vulgar iden of an old inalit became edtablished as the ar- tistic, theatrical, or Mterary type. Lf we toke up an Wustrated book or newspaper, esnectatly where the destzns are Intended to be humorous, and 2 spinster of a certain age hs to be depicted, we see her as 2 matter of course gaunt and hideous, sonrlooklag and Al-dressed, and almost certalnly with “spec- tacles on nose.” In fiction and the drama, if ,oor, sho fs described as cuvlows and spiteful; If rich, os -the eusy prey of designing flatterers,—unioved except by foline favorits, the Iaughing-stock of the younr, neglected by the world. But i wé look Into families, Into tho real human life which 1s throbbing all around us, it isn far different pleture that presents itself. Unfrequently one of tho noblest figures in the family group, | Shy is generally Go one who makes sacrifices for the others, ° If rich, shy 1s often Lady Boun- tiful, and, If poor and dependent, she fs prut: epsiiry to be the indefatigable good angel of ho family. How frequently ly she the over- tender nurse iu sickness, the careful house- Keeper if need be, the alternate instructress and playmate of the children, tha wise coun- aclor of the young, and the trusted confident of the old. “There bs Benerally H very aweet numility about the genuine old maid, and by enuine L mean one whe has accepted her position as deflnit and absolnte. She knows herself, In a certain sense, to be of less account than wives ns mothers; and If thoughtless and Lnsyany * thetle people occasionally uiatko ber feet that they ate of tho sume opinion, she hows to thelr judgment, Sle does not even resent the half conteniptuous pity which is sone tines made apparent by those who take it tor Franted that she laments her destiny, and. would have ha it otherwise if she could. Here and there probably there may be a case where sitch pity fs deserved, but with a urge proportion ofsingle women It fs far different. If we know the heart histories of many old mulds, wo would find many of them who re mualned single because they were falthful to an idea. Perhaps some hinppy dream of gitl- ood was broken by centh or satranre mice: perhaps she has vever met the man who fully Feallzed her sspirations, and whom she could fecl henelt able to love, honor, and obey, Whatever men may. think ou the stibject, unt last word. at aN has 9 grave meaning to a thoughtful woman, who, conseioua of a soul of her own, ian little tertitied at all obedience may Ine volve, At any rate, the woman who remains single, rather than make a “half-hearted” Anarrisge, is worthy of nt honor, But there ly worse than hulf-heartednoss toapprehend. ‘The newspapers almost dally Teport cases of neghvet and even savage crue elty on the part of husbands towards thelr wives, ‘These cases are not confied to the humbler ranks of soclety, dudichl inquiry shows that they occur i what are termed the higher and respectable circles, Can wo wouter, then, that women of a delicate turn of iind, and who are not positively depend. ent on matrhnony for a subsistence, are apt (to shrink from Sneurilig a risk, nnd with - mately to reject a married life, should elr- ‘eunnstances offer? If they be wrong in thelr determination, fet men aud the Jaw together Dear the discredit, Let us think, also, of the number of tho } women single and of a cortaln age who ar filling positions of high responsibillty and important trust. Jn theao days {t fs an acknowledged fact that thers are far mors women than iuen tn the country; also, thore fay arisen In the Inst Shinty or forty years a great change in public opinfon with regard to the dependence and dudependence of wouien, and both these clr cumstances ought to sweep away the false and malignant type of ofd mald. - A generation back, in whut may be called + the npper iniddle class, it was taken as a Jnatter of course that the women of a fully ‘were to bo supported by the men. Whena daughter was portlonless, or nearly 80, & dying father woulil leave lor ns a legacy to Iis sous, with full persuasion that she would be duly cared for. Lt was only In cases where thera was exceptional energy of character ‘that the single woman thought herself other than hardly treated, if notsllghtly disgraced, if she had toexert herself fora matntenance, Ftuppily, public opinion on such matters la uw greatly tinpraved, All rightminded Deople applaud single women who make hone orubly careers for themselyes,—" who fud thelr work and do it” And there ts plenty of women's work to bo found ‘oralt tng to bo done,—twork that is essentially feimlilne and sulted to her powers, 1 do hot mean wives and mothers whosy first duties are tn thelr homes, but single women, who ate too conscious of thelr cupacities to ele with folded’ hands and bi as tho illus that ‘tell = nyt, neither . fess do they spin? Every such woman who loves ber weak. and executes It consclentions- ly. not only elevates herself, but by lusen- al 1 Jy raising public opinlon benefits her sex. t {sn great mistake to suppose that a woman can only exert her influence for good aga wife and mother, ‘There are some wots en who think that marriage atone can pines thom 1a sphere of usefulness; but it sto be hoped that women. are learning vot- ters for, under any clrewmstances, a woman cannot associnta With menor women wilh- out to some extent nitecing, thelr characters, Moreover, the influence of women Is great, in any statlon In life, Whether a woman {Is princess or mald-of-all-work, there are some ivex on which her ine fluence must tell for good or avil.

THE FAMILY CIRCLE, ITS JOTS AND soRnOWS, To the Fultor of The Chicago Tribune, Citicago, Oct. 19.—How much Tha Hemo reminds me of the homes most of us ‘Thave left now, but which still remain in our mem- ory as old pictures that we keepcovered from the light and only Ivok nt occasionally, When we draw aside the curtain now we can sev the same characters. There aro tha Bit- ter-Sweets and Raven Iatrs, the crusty old Rachelor Brothers, the gontle Caliturnins, the Ella Wheelers’ that sing so sweetly, and the Fern’ Leafs with the sane thoughtful sym- pathy for all. We can see them all around the fre again. Grandia Oltways in her snowy cap, and the bent form of an old man smoking hig pipe in tha corner. Itis nota large cirele ut first, but as we tinger over tho picture the group cularges and new faces are seen. We sce the busy housowife bustling around with Mr, Hall following her with loving eyes; we hear the arguments between tho Eta Beta Pi’s and the Forty Years; this one describing the kind of woman he will marry, and that ono tell- {ng of her schoolgirl friendships; this older ong telling of her travels, and_ thls younger one of the nelghboring camp-mect- Ing.
