New York Paradise of Bachelor Maid
By ADA PATTEHSON.
Now York Is tho pa rail I so of the single
woman. A scoffer 'declared 'that when
an America! dies he want nothing- bet
ter than to so to Paris. It Is with no
scoffing vision that
we see the woman
who has determined
to tread her "way
through the world
alone setting out for
2ew York or com
fortably settling1 Into
the niche she has al
ready made for her
self In the metropolis.
' For this there aro
1 s a t Istying reasons.
In New York, alone
nass docs not mean
loneliness. There
aro natures that pre
fer fitting as an
audience while tho
drama of life is enacted to taking an
active part In It. There are characters
that would rather watch the stream from
the oank than swimming In its current.
You have seen seaahoro swears 'sit morn
ing after morning watching tho bathers
Instead of themselves battling with tho
surf.' It laa matter of taste, and tem
perament. If tho bachelor maid evades
family life and duties she may be wiser
than those who crltlolse her for tho
evasion. Sho knows better tian anyone
else whether she la prepared to assume
the duties Into whleh many women rush
unthinkingly and which they afterwards
find too heavy to be borne, or so -we
judge from the fact that they rush to
the courts for relief from these burdens.
The point Is that in New York the
slnKlc woman can Intwostedly watch
life without herself being actively to the
fore in it.
Bachelor maids usually seek amuse
ment In pairs, or they may permit the
prosence of a widow of their own age. In
an cmtrgency they are - not averse to'

stars .-whoso dis
tance has been ap

their parallax.
Parallax means
the agular dis

tho sky that a stsr
shows when
viewed alternately from opposite sides of
thn earth's orbit, which Is about 166,-
000,000 miles across, or a thousand times
the distance that light can go In a sec
ond. This dlsplscement Is never largo
enough to be visible except by the most
delicate Instrumental measurements. In
the case of the nearest star known It is
equal to less than one JWOth part of the
breadth of the full moon.
"When distances represented by such
slight parallaxes are calculated In miles

stems to be the best wo can do. At an j

"What Is gained by the substitution?"
The reply is that In consequence of the
public's growing familiarity with the use
of the electric waves It has a clearer com.

! It has of the speed ot light, which Is only
dcolth with In scientific Investigations.
To say, for Instance, that a wave nt light

sent to us from that star would be 300
years on its way tnrougn tne winer or

A striking application Is afforded by the
recent measurements by pioouni of the
Yerkea Observatory ot the parallax of
the brilliant now star which suddenly
shone out In the constellation aominl in
1912, and which Is still faintly visible.
According to these measurements tho dls.

A Merger of Churches
UCopyrlght, 1814, by the Btur Company.)
By HUV. THOMAS U. (JHKfJOUV.
Apropos of the discussion that Is now
Lgolng on all over the country upon tint
subject of "Church Unity, we may wen
ask tho question printed at the bend of
this article-"Why
not a rollRious
merger?"
What's to hinder?
and If there Is
nothing to hinder,
why pat bring It
about?
Old Oliver Crom
well, when In the
thick of his fight
with the plumed
cavaliers, declared
that' a man "Is
never so wise as
when he goes with
out knowing where, he Is going."
The inference from the raying of the
grim Old Protector Is that a powor larger
and wlsar than ourselves directs our
goings, and that In giving ourselves tin
to 'ts full we can make no serious mis
takes. The great world dramatist makes ono
of his characters sayi "There's a divin
ity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them
how we may," and It would seem that all
history Is a corroboration of the poet'4
dictum.
The religious world of today Is being
striped In the direction of s larger,
sweeter unanimity of thought and feel
ing, a broader, deeper program of pur
pose and achievement: and It requires but
a modicum of faith to be assured of the
fact that the cull to this graatsr brother

A. Man, as at present developed men

limit Is wace, and none is able to think
of Infinite space nor any other Infinity.
