The woman Of forty who clings to
the airs and graces which made her
charming at twenty, and still expects
society to take an active part in
amusing her, makes sal mistake.
Society is gay, delightfully."- many,

selfish. 1t cares only for the man or
woman who has something to give it.

her beauty and freshness; when these
pleasant gifts have faded. if she be
