(A) The forerunner of the modern bachelor girl. She was very, very proper, and the much vaunted blush of shame mounted to her brow with almost no provocation at all. Anything stronger than "damn" or any reference to underpinning made her go hot and cold with mortification. No a who was a gentleman would think of smoking in her presence. (B) Just an old-fashioned spinster, getting a shock from a billboard.

In 1926, it's the billboard that gets the shock, when the bachelor girl passes by. Not all bachelor girls are single from choice. Take Elsa, for example. Every time a'sultor suits Elsa, her family steps in and becomes so chummy with the young man that he takes fright and runs. Then again, if they take a sudden aversion to the young man, as they sometimes do, Elsa has to give, him up in deference to the wishes of papa, mamma, Cousin Lizzie, Aunt May, and Uncle Joe.

This is Gladys, who loves 'ern a little, and leaves 'em and has too good a time, generally speaking, to think of the married state. She's the despair of her wedded girl friends. Has a job in an interior decorator's office. 11 .10 16 IMIPOIMMIN Oftentimes little things like the sight of a homely man with a snufily cold or a dandruffy bald spot seen from above, keep the bachelor girl in a state of single blessedness. "Call me by my maiden name, please!" Sometimes a dyed-in-the-wool bachelor girl succumbs to matrimony.

She keeps it in the background, however, so don't dare call her' by her married name if you meet her in the business world. The elderly girl. There are no more old maids in these days of enlightenmentonly bachelor girls with business careers who are too busy to marry. Time enough to think of connubial bliss when they are past 65.
