A Woman Kepi a Secret
The one secret that women know how
to Keep is, according to unkind critics,
that of their age. They will tell every
thing else that is entrusted to their
keeping, but never, in a moment of
expansive indiscretion, will they be in
duced to reveal the number of their
years.
Of course, this isn't always true.
Many feminities tell their ages and
those of their women friends with as
much freedom as their brothers would
give the same intelligence concerning
themselves, but one elderly lady w'lio
recently died was. in the matter of se
cretiveness. a marvel to her acquaint
ances. Xo one except her own brothers, and
sisters knew her age. Her husband did
not, though she was married to him
thirty years or more. When the mar
riage license had to be bought the
bride vouchsafed the information that
she was "more than eighteen." That
was all; so the hard-hearted man put
her down :is twenty-live years of age.
In-the years that followed she never
spoke of her birthdays. Once, when
asked if she were born in .lune, she
replied that she didn't remember. The
natal days of others in the family were
celebrated, but hers never. She would
talk well on any subject in the world
but ages; on this one she was absolute
ly dumb.
Before she expired she made a single
request of her husband. "Please don't
allow any dates to appear in the obit
uary notices' or on my tombstone." she
asKed. "I don't liKe dates."
And so her secret died with her, and.
though her woman friends surmised
that she must be at least ten years
older than her husband to justify this
.sensitiveness, it is quite possible that
she was nothing of the sort. She did
not look it. She merely had a horror
of being reminded of the passage of
time.
This was. of course, a very unusual
case, but it is sullicient evidence that
a women can Keep a secret and she
will. Baltimore News.
