~ONTRARY to the oft repeated
assertion. old age is not the
real tragedy of a woman's life.
1t is the mention of middle age
that never fails to bring forth the long
drawn sigh of regret and apprehension
from the woman who has passed her
thirtieth milestone.
1t suggests so much to her. 1t en-
phasizes the passing of youth so cruel
ly without offering any OF the com
pensations which fall to her lot later
on in life.

woman" confessed a blooming matron
of five and thirty at a recent meeting
of very select neighborhood club.
1.-The horror that stares me in the face
and won't down is the prospect Of i'm
pending middle age
Nothing very immediate about
that" laughed pretty little Miss Co
lightly. to whom the grimness of the
goblin of middle age had as yet not be-

How about the menu queried Miss
Golightly.
"A man need have nothing what
ever of that feeling to make him un-
comfortable For him life need not
seem to be growing stale at the ap-
proach of the half century mark. At
that age d woman has weakened per-
ceptibly and lost charm and even at

Pardon me. ladies'" interrupted a
woman of sixty or thereabout who
was notably the most attractive and
best groomed member of the club,
land permit me to contribute my little
view of the matter. You are perfectly
correct. my dear. in your statement
that middle life is quite likely to be a
tragic period in a woman's career. 1t
is also true that every woman has 1t
within her power to avert or at least
to modify that tragedy. She may win
the victory over the baiefuI forces of
