SAD TINE IN A WOMAN'S LIFE.
When She is Too Young fer the Quiet Corner
of the Old.
Harper's Bazar

of the Old.
Harper's Bazaar.
There is a time in woman's life when
she is too old for the dance and frolio of
the young and too young for the quiet
corner of the old. No class claims her.
She feels often like an alien from the
commonwealth of womanhood. In
charitable WORK and in social
life the Invisible line is passed No
one invites her now to preside at the
fancy booth or hasten the sale of flowers
with her gracious smiles. Neither is she
asked to give the dignity of her age and
position as one of the patronnessrs of the
fair. She is laughed Mt if she dresses in
the CAV colors her soul loves, or scolded
by her family for always wearing black.
She has no part in the play, but is
quietly relegated to the position of stage
setter and prompter, while younger aid
older women pose and wi its applause.
Her beauty is not at its best. She has
neither the fair girlish face which is the
prophecy of what will be, nor the sweet
old face which is the history of what it
has been. White hair does not crown
her with glory, and she has lost the
golden curls of her youth. The blossom
has faded and the fruit does not yet COM
pensute her for its loss.
The trials of the transition state
envelop her in the home. Sometimes
she feels that her husband ia almost de-
sorting her for the young daughter, who
is the second edition OF the girl he fell in
love with years ago.
The sowing of the domestic problem
has not made such drafts upon his men
tai and physical resources as it has upon
hers. lie is a comparatively young man,
and no one dreams of asking him to step
aside from any familiar path.
At times she wonders If she is not
childish woman. She was necessary to
her little children, but her gro ing sons
and daughters do not seem 10 need her;
at least they do not cling to her with the
tender caresses of their babyhood.
Studies, teachers, classmates and en-
byTo love affairs fill their lives so full
that the mother almost feels crowded
out.
