| Show f r tx x at I SIGNS SIGiS 01 OP 01 AGi AGLi There Isn't a woman In the world aver 30 years of ago ogO who Isn't on a a. perpetual still hunt I l- l for signs ns or r age In F fc t She cannot pass ls a mirror r i t looking In It to see SeG If It a a. wrin- wrin ie ce Is beginning to form at the corps cor- cor rs ps of ot her eyes or she has acquired of si po tale ten gray hair She cannot go goby 1 by y a weighing machine I without t hopping hopping hop hop- brn sO r ping on It to find out If 11 s she Is not t los los- ing lg s her girlish figure or drifting Into it tl tRO living skeleton class AGE GE IS V TU GED For age which which- Is a a. tragedy to us nil aU Is an obsessing horror to women anti and so 80 do they fear ear and dread It that the Se greatest compliment you can pay woman Is to tell her how bow young abe looks Now women make the mistake of ot that the way they register i Ke ge Is 18 In their faces and figures alone atone Therefore they they spend spend their time and and efforts on cold cream and massage and cosmetics and dieting It ever noVer occurs to them that age ago Is a mattY mat- mat fUr aMt of ot the spirit far more snore than It Is Isi i the body and that If It they want to tot t S look ok young thoy they must keep their souls souis f Yo ung t ung I t as they think It It Is more moret C t mp r ant to rub out the wrinkles In dispositions than It Is In their faces And there Is more profit In Inno anointing no of tf tolerance fer their temperaments than h Jel In applying with it emoluments emol emoi- m the to their countenances A woman never dreams that she gives away her ago age by her attitude to- to life lite far more than one ane does cloes by h her er r appearance but she does For just justia juste e ia the great naturalist could t bone reconstruct oe oes s so u any yn any discerning rsc animal person from a ac can single ng ob observe b servo serve a womans woman's talk and conversation for r a Q day and tell you how old she really Is Is no matter ml what camouflage a of youth she hides behind or how many lies ilea she tells about her birthday Perhaps the first Indication that a a. oman gives of age Is when she be begins be- be gins to speak of herself hersel and her female friends as we we girls As long lone as a girl is a girl she sho never calls herself She says we college women And she n age acre 1 and sophistication J just st as the women of ot 30 pose as being artless and Innocent SHY SUY OF DATES Als Alsa when a woman gets to be along In the thirties she begins to tell you how young joung she was when she got mar mar- ned ried She says that she was just a amere amere amere mere child and she Is very particular to explain to you what she knows about things that happened ten or fifteen fit fit- teen years ago are reminiscences told her by her mother A woman never permits herself herselt to remember anything that happened longer ago than year before last until after she Is 60 and doesn't care who knows It When a woman gets shy of ot dates youve you've got gother gother IH her r date She Is somewhere In the fearful thirties or the roaring forties The next Indication that a woman gives of ot age Is bossiness The young oung are willing to live and let live They want to do things their way but are willing to let other people have th the thO same privilege Not so the old There Is something In age that brings out the autocrat and the tyrant In us as a ahot ahot ahot hot poultice brings out the measles When Whon a a. woman begins to tell everYbody everybody every every- body what they should eat and how nany marty hours they hey should sleep and what they should wear and to feel teet that she is generally I called e upon to regulate t the sr al she Is getting ft old no matter matter mat mat- ter If It she looks 16 and can dance from dark to daylight The real reason that men desert their old wives Is not be because because be- be cause ause their races faces have grown old and ugly but because they've got tyrannical tyrannical tyrannical tyran tyran- old souls that make life lite with them unendurable Another sure eure sign of ot age is s when a woman begins to knock all young joung women wo wo- men When you OU hear a woman criticising the way the girls dress and danco dance and chase down the boys and see her hold up her hands In horror because young people joyride and go goto goto goto to theatres and cabarets you may know that what ails alls the poor thing Is age There are women who grow green eyed and crazy with jealousy every time they see a beautiful young face and think of the admiration ayoung a young joung girl excites and the love that Is made to to her and realize that that chapter of ot their own lives Is ended SURE SUItE SIGN SIGY nv Os AG Aon It is a sure sign of age in a woman If It she Is catty about girls and It If she shee he Is 15 full l of scandalous n u gossip about t. t young people e F For it al Is only age e that makes us b believe lIeve that our own was the golden gold gold- en age of ot virtue and that humanity was any different In one generation from what It Is In another Its It's a sign sian of ot age when a a. womans woman's Interest begin to narrow down to her own family and her conversation be becomes becomes be- be becomes comes a monologue about her children and her household When hen a a. a woman finds herself telling what John said and John did did and how Impudent the I cook was vas and how many beaux her daughter have and what the captain captaIne of t the football l team sail said to Freddie d dIs lg t she e had better watch her step p for she is on the downgrade r Heaven knows why egotism should be the tho ha hall hail mark macit of ot old age but It is tt As long as s wo we O are young wo are interested In in- in t e I In t the W world d at large g and want t to hear about other people but when we grow old we are so 80 self centered we t care for tor nothing that does not per per- tam tain to ourselves The jie final test of f age Is the inability n ct ke f ft ity to change ones one's e ep p point t of view or to accept new Ideas As long as we can ct-ange ct and grow we are young but the minute we become set In our prejudices prejudices and opinions we are old Therefore the woman who wishes to keep young must keep an open mind She must keep herself perpetually In in- in She must avoid becoming ar arbitrary ar- ar and egotistic In a word she must look out oit for wrinkles In her character rather than those on her face and be more moro afraid of f telling hoary stories than having gray hair For age shows In the soul quicker than It does in the body |
