‘Old Maid’ Branded as Bad Hostess Too Marriage Conscious, According to Theory of Young Man. BY C.RETTA PALMER Tunti Special Writer NEW YORK. March 23.—1 t wa£ the observation of the blond young man that unmarried women make the worst cocktail hostesses in the world. “They may have three servants or ten men guests ready and walling to see that glasses are kept filled.

“Their main and obvious duty is to introduce persons to con- . genial strangers and to see that their guests- are being amused. Eut do they content themselves with this? They do not! “They flutter around, passing plates of canapes and little napkins. Their right hands are always grasping a shaker. They take no time to

talk or to be charming. And, I think, I know why.” It is the rather cynical belief of this young man that the girl hostess Is—ail unconsciously—trying to create the impression of a bustling housewife on eligible bachelors present. She is, in a word, imitating the manner of the old-fashioned girl who, with great guile, used to cook and serve dinner herself whenever a potential suitor came around. “Rubbish,” we said. "The modern young girl isn’t interested in spreading nets for husbands. She doesn’t want to rope a man into marrying her. She is no more apt to go hus-band-seeking, as a social routine, than a man is to go wife-seeking." “Oh, isn't she?” he said. “It is not, he continued, so much that women are more eager to marry than men are. "It is that they are less sure that they can. If the matter of vanity were completely eliminated, then you probably would find women no more troubled about whether they* would eventually marry than men are.” Altar-Consciousness Repellent A man is pretty sure he can find himself a satisfactory wife any time this side of 70. And so it doesn’t worry him to reach 25 or 35 and still find himself a bachelor. Any time he wants to change his status he can. A girl is not so sure. She is less sure because she thinks (quite naturally, by the way) that if she has not married by 35 she never will. The sight of widows of 60 complaisantly sailing to the altar every day teaches her nothing—although it should show her that it is her nervous eagerness for marriage, rather than her years, that drives suitors away from the spinster who feels that she is getting on. This sense that time is fleeting, he said, is the worst enemy on an unmarried woman’s charm. Sometimes she becomes so altar-con-scious when a man shows her the least attention that their relationship hasn't the ghost of a chance of developing, slowly and naturally into love. Trick To Get Him in Love “The girl is in such a rush that she wants to get out and push.” That matter 4 of age is one reason why girls are more marriage-driven than men. he continued. Besides, there is the memory of the dowry. "The dowry?” we asked. Yes. he went on. For many centuries a wife was acceptable to a man if she came freighted down with a certain measure of negotiable wealth. It was so taken for granted that all of the advantage of being married lay with the woman that the man had to be bribed into marrying her. "And the women have not forgotten it, no matter how independently they may talk today. They still have a feeling that no man in his senses would undertake the obligation of marriage unless he got at least an acre of land.
