The Love Affairs of an Old Maid

Excerpt from The Love Affairs of an Old Maid
IT is a pity that there is no prettier term to bestow upon a girl bachelor of any age than Old Maid. Spinster is equally uncomfortable, suggesting, as it does, cork screw curls and immoderate attenuation of frame; while maiden lady, which the ultra-punctilious substitute, is entirely too mincing for sensible, whole-souled people to countenance.
