DISCUSSION OF “WHY ARE OLD MAIDS ” IT am an old maid because the average men today are either too expensive, or too cheap; usually the former. A CLASSY OLD MAID. 1 am an old maid because Death, | the Grim Reaper, cheated me out of the only man I ever knew whom I) thought worthy the name of hus band, and possibly father. Not but what there are plenty of good men, but £ have not met them. DJ. 1 am a lady bachelor because I only make $21 a week. That is not enough to properly feed and clothe the average man. TWENTY-SIX. 1 bélieve the following reason! 7 will voice the sentiments of many a 20th century woman telling why she is deprived of wedded blins: There are so few men who are phys fealty, morally and mentally some, and fitted to become fathers of our children. We want our chil- dren to be well born. A BACHELOR GIRL. We are old maids becaude we re- fuse to be mere chattels, owned by any man for a convenience. Life waa made for something more (even for a woman) than darning socks, washing dishes and cooking a big meal threo times a day FARSIGHTED. 1 am a bachelor girl becanse I do not want to be kissed by lips that are soaked and saturated with to- baceo juice, nicotine and whiskey. Nearly all the men smoke like f maces! It’s puff! puff!! puff! wherever one goes, and we women are compelled to breathe the to- bacco-polluted alr. Our men ate veritable walking smokestacks! A YOUNG OLD MAID, We girls don’t marry because we have some pride and respect, and don't wish to submit to the humilia- tion of asking for every nickel we would need. We would rather get out and earn our money. Oh, for real men! And we would gladly become wives and mothers, instead of remaining lonely bach- elor girls. BESS. May I be permitted to say a word to “A Bach Who Thinks” (or tries to)? He says “If be should marry he would want to stay at the head, where God has placed man.” I feel sorry for this dear bach froin t bottom of my heart, for he “thinks' —not yet; and ff he is ever able to “think”, he will never accuse God of such a blunder in regard to the human family, as “placing man at the head.” Have you not studied the animal kingdom? Which is superior there, male or female? Cannot you see that the male always respects the lower animals? Man is the only animal who breaks the natural laws and who abuses and maltreats the female of his species. And the reason is that he, through his brute force, h placed himself at the “head.” God has never placed him the No, dear bach (who still clings to @ street from the Central ¥ the Electrie Cook m now running and cre- interest among the ise 9 ‘ the 17th century ideas), an intelll- gent 20th century woman needs no e but her own. She wouldn't have a man of your calibre even for the foot of the family. A BACHELOR MAID, wishes of the female among sha NEXT SPRING’S IDEAS SHOWN IN THIS MID- WINTER COSTUME.
