OLD AGE NOT RECOGNIZED
Grandma No Longer Sits and KnIts In
Solitude With Only Memory
for Company.

There Ia no old age in the present
day. No longsS does grandma SIT by
the fire sewing. with spectacles and
cap, while her grandchildren play at
her knee. and look upon her with low
ing reverence. Few old people cit still
by the fire nowadays, unless they be
very old indeed and unable to do any
thing else. Nowadays they are about
all day, and most OF the night, enjoy
ing life, seeking pleasure, discovering
how much there IL to be seen, done
and, above all, talked about, In a
world that no longer Graves retire

nowadays; nobody loves life an they
do; and the reverse holds true Of
heavily laden. responsible. bored and
sensible youth Nowadays 1t ts youth

we learn she can still dance at that
age She has not much to worry her,
