The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906).

A: of which, as the reader can see, was very unscni- pi.Luis, However, as she found,, by far the worst thing about -beginning to, be thirty-two was the fact that you coulni't forget it.' The harder you tried, the hotter you rcniemjr^rcd it. "Well, what if I am?" This was the remark that, our heroine slung into space when,. after a week of torment, she sat down with her chin resting on her hands to have the thing out, ''What if lam? So are plenty of other gir���������women, I nicx.Ti. Alice in thirty, Mary thirty-- two, Mabel twenty-eight." She paused in her enumeration, rtruck by the thought that all these friends were murrfed. Matrimony was a subject tp which .she had given the minimum of 'thought. She supposed .she'd come to it some time, but she" wrs in no''hurry to enter that p.iSteire so long as there was pleasant browsing to lie had outside.

Cou.ld.it he that there" was a point when one began lo l>t> thirty-two for instance, when b'ecoiuingness demanded that one should lay aside ''Miss" just as It i'������nilred that one should stop wearing pink? ���������������������������������������������'.; She faced Ikr plight with a stiff upper lip, realizing that she lir.it no one but herself to blame. There bad bcon a iiiinvber of men���������the. misUiiev- 'ous dimple at tl.e corner of her' mouth danced into sight for a second at the thought of how many���������who hael done their best to stop her in what she now recognized for the first time as her mad career. She had declined their offers kindly, but with-a certain royal carelessness that recked not of possible dark hours to come. When did any woman born to the h-'lief in the div-in-e right of tjiicens ever foresee dethronement.?' She had inadvertently "lived ever" as she had once heard it quaintly phrased. There was no doubt about it, she was an old maid! She-repeated it aloud in all its brutal truth, scorning such euphemisms as "-spinster" and "bachelor woman." "You're an old maid���������just a plain old maid!" she said audibly. But it soiuide.il too -bad to bo true. She would probably wa'-'e up after a bit to find that she hael been married since her eighteenth birthday and had a son reaely to enter college ar.d a daughter about to mal-c her debut. No such happy awakening came, however, and with desperate philosophy she decided that since she was an old maid she-would enter into the role for all it was worth.. At least she would avoid the error of being i j kittenish. | Little by little her plainest gowns | were hroug-lii into requisition.
