What Is Middle Age7
EScribners Magazine

When I was about II. urged by the
author, / decided 20 read Mr. Howell
then current novel. Was he not fam
Iy connection Of my own. and did I
not know OF its delightful comradery /?
At the second page, however I dis
covered his entire unfltness as guide,
. however preeminent his qualities as a
philosopher and friend. SO singuIarIy
Ign GRANT was he of terms that he in
troduced his heroine a young CIR!
of 20'-a Iaughable error since even I
knew that a young girls age was from
6 to 16. after which young iadyhood
began 10 develop about 90 into middle
life: and soon thereafter with the first
whitening of hairs about the temples,
one was indenia bly, old. Mr. Howeii's
novel thus precipitated my first defin-
lite excursion in ageology.
The second memorable experience
came a decade later. mentioned to a
friend that I was that day %. She was
only two years my junior. but I recall
every shade of expression on her face
as she realized my antiquity. Her look
was so full of pity that 1t was tragic.
and my usual resibility was subdued.
IKE the oyer mana. 10 WHAT II WORKED
in This was lingering the reverse Of
the shield.
After another decade a third per-
son presented the matter from an i'm
personal angle. A man, my contempt
| rary, was to marry my friend some
years younger "a young girl of 20''
! learning the fact from my lips, ex-
claimed incontinently: Marry: But
Cousin Lucy, they have one foot in the
grave now"
My peal Of laughter, in contrast
with my tragic comedy OF q, was the
best assurance to myself that the gath
ering years bring sanity; that when
we actresses on the stage Of life grow
too old to play Juliet ourselves we get
immense satisfaction out Of having
learned just how the part ought to be
played; and that tho four Is an angu-
lar and commonplace figure it wabbles
less on its base than the more grace

CHICKENPHOBIA.


We are already beginning to smell
the yellow legged spring chicken STIR
ring up fine odor as 1t rolls about in
the butter in the frying pan. We hear
the stories Of great matches by the
wooden hens and the old fashioned
kind Of hens. Some OF the stories are
to the effect that more chicks came out
OF an incubator than rhe same has
capacity for eggs. Others report only
partial matches and offer many exc
c,lses for the failure of the eggs to all
bring forth prize chicks. 1t is really
funny to watch a man sitting around
in a brooder trying to make the chicks
believe he is their mother, by clucking
at them and scratching w the feed
with his fingers. and the chicks don't
seem 10 realize any difference. 1t is
an iniu stice to the hen to impose on
her in this manner How would a man
like to be compelled to lay the eggs
and sit on them for three weeks? We
know men who actually spend more
time nursing a brood OF young chick
ems than is required by a woman to
care for a good healthy baby the first
two years of its life. and just let the
wife ask that man to look after the
baby one evening while she goes to the
club or prayer meeting and he'll sweat
like an oyerworked horse. trying to es-
cape the awful ordeal, unless perhaps
the baby might be asleep.
