are no conccalmcnls, no tricks, no
false shame or fear There i. doubt

of old age from thirty five to forty
five than ever after, because then We
are cowardly about it. What can bc
more pitilul than to see people who
are ashamed to tell their age, aud
offended by any reference TO il, who
with shriycling hands are irnntically
holding ON to what is every moment
slipping away from them? We all
know such, and we say, GLOW alb

for ridicule, not because they arr
getting old, but because they pretend
they are not. Middle-agcd men and
women who respect themselves, and

their expense, and silly girls litter
