Show I I ITHE I THE GIRL YOU YOUW WOULD ULD iJ KATHERINE AGE LIKE TO BE MORTON M RT N Does any one ono know when Yesterday I 1 was on my way ay to see one of ot my most delightful friends I know this woman has a son of ot 30 and once orice when I chanced to pick pickup pickup pickup up the family Bible Dible I saw that her birthday was a good long iong time ago almost fifty tift years As I approached her hotel I noticed a small figure with Aith Aitha witha a beautiful mane of golden hair This young oung girl must have been about 15 The hair was so beautiful that I turned tp look at the tho face Talk about middle age Here was wa a face as hard as gran grail granite granIte ite Ito a chin in the sternest most severe lines the eyes were hard and calculating calculating ing and without illusions I hastened to see Bee my friend and found her In bed with her brown hair beautifully colt coif coiffed fed her face faco absolutely unlined and a sparkling sympathetic expression slon that seems to give to It a 0 look of perpetual brilliant youth As she Rhe lay Jay abed rest reAt resting restIng ing from a very tedious journey sur surrounded surrounded surrounded rounded by books flowers and other evidences of ot her affection of her friends she certainly would not have wanted to change hange In any respect with the mid middle middle middie dle die age girl of 15 who seems hardly to have a future before her so hard and Is In her little face I have the good fortune to know a great many women around and aver 50 years of oC age ageO who seem under u d r 30 and what is more who look to be In tho th very height of b auty But then I also know children and some Borne young women of ot 25 who by rights of looks and points of or view belong In homes for the aged The point of view you take toward towar oncoming years Is more important than anything else If you intend to keep young I look forward to the tho time when people will have learned vo to 0 care for tor or themselves so sensibly and so ra rationally rationally rationally tha that most of the fear tear of ot old go will be groundless At present however you still see the woman of ot 30 O 0 out for tor
