why should a woman at the age of 40

| Mrs. Terhune the othor day at the Monona
Lake assembly. And then she answered the
| question in a paper that was full of the
simplest yet the saddest and most pathetic
sentences that one Is likely to hear for many
day. Mrs. Terhune pointed out that
after the age of 40 the mental forces of
woman are at their best. and yet the sun
set of her life is darkened. Take the
average case. A woman Of 20 marries.
| She is handsome, Intelligent and edu-
Gated. She has read. she has bathed a
little in the sea of thought and looked

| has even dreamed Of voyages out there
where stately ships of splendid minds are
| gFaSping all the winds that blow and are
pushing for the port of progress. And then
she turns to her duties as wife At first she
follows her reading and tries tor keep no

that the children may have advantages.

and unpardonable thing if she sat down to
read or study when there tasks demanded

made duty her slave so long that duty is her

she dreams of toiling. ALI her associates
