THE DAILY CHIT.CHAT
BY Ruth Cameron
THE "AFTER THIRTY" YEARS

II Is never too early TO start max
ing something worth while OF your
life: nor is IL ever too late.
A letter friend complains to me in
n recent letter that she is past the age
of success. my life has been a fall

possibilities within me. and vet some.
how one thing or another has stood
In my way and | have never accom-

now IL Is too late.
How old do you suppose this woman
IS?
Only "a, Just think OF Il, and she
is foolish enought to say 1t is too late!
After thirty" is the title of a
group OF tales In one of the popular
magazines, which deals with this pc
riod of life as II IL were a distinct
epoch. And. indeed, thirty does seem
like a very black dividing line. II is
the end OF first youth. We feel as
IL We must have declared ourselves by
then II we are ever TO amount TO much.
And yet think over the lives OF
some OF the men and women whose
names spell success in the various
lines OF human endeavor. and you will
find that there are many OF them
whose success came after thirty"

Bronte wrote: Meantime life wears

yet In those eight after thirty" years
IN spite OF miserable health house
mold cares and painful bereavement,
she managed to build for herself a
name that will probably live as long
as English literature
III seems sordid to use money as a
measure OF success. but IL certainly
Is measure OF recognition. There
