The Age Of Women

The National Academy of De
siSn recently awarded a prize to a
woman in a competition limited to
artists not over a certain age.
The artist discovered that She
was ineligible and reminded the
committee of the fact. In her
frank letter renouncing claim to
the prize, the artist said. "Of
course it isn't pleasant to nave at
tention drawn to one 5 age.
It is a fact that almost all women
more than 20 years old, and many
meu over 40 are sensitive on the
subject Of age but few of them
could give any explanation of their
feelings that would not be puerile.
Apparently they are ashamed Of
having arrived at years Of biscre-
ton. +" but they would repudiate
that explanation Indignantly

until the papas insisted upon coming
home to luncheon, although their
wives repeatedly told them that they
should stay down town in their Offices
and kill bears until o'clock. The
argument finally grew so noisy that
auntie came to investigate.
Boys, why do you come home when
the little girls ask you not to. Is
1t because you are so fond of them
you cannot keep away?"
NO" said Tom disgustedly.
as 1t because you wanted another
look at your beautiful children?"
No" said Rob, with even more dis
gust in his tones. "It's because the
girls eat chocolate for lunch and we
want some.'"
