there is no reason in the world why,
unless you wish 1t, you need be
serene from now on"
Sarah Bernhard once said TO me
when I asked her the secret of her
wonderful youthfulness-or rather
her wonderful realization Of the Joy
OF living and the JOY in living? The
whole secret Is in never looking
back. in always looking forward
in making new promises 10 yourself
and in starting in 10 fulfill them"
This woman, as she said this, was
beautiful not only with the beatty
of promises already fulfilled, but
beautiful with. the enthusiasm that
new promises and the going about
enthusiastically to bring their full
fillment entailed.
No self-centered woman can be
beautiful whether she be is or so,
and every woman who has sym
pathy, knowledge and poise-things
which only can come to the mature
woman--ean have beauty at Its best.
Start in today. on woman OF 40.
In making new promises to yourself
and 10 the world. Come out of your
soul self. but in doing so do not
neglect your physical self. The
splendor and beauty OF this wonder
full world IL not over for you-ft has
just begun.

Nothing IL giving the Democratic
leaders more worry. down under the

They are insisting otherwise-are say
Ing there has been no real thought OF

ficial utterances on this score are not
taken with an undue measure of Sc
riousness.
On the face of things. the Treasury
situation is not one to be alarmed about.
though there Is strong tendency Of
expenditures to exceed revenues. View
ed in its broadest aspects. It Is en-
barrassng to the party in power. rather
than alarming. Everybody knows that.
II need be. a bond issue can be floated
in ample amount to meet any probable
conditions which may arise.
But the Democratic leaders would
like to 20 into tho next campaign with
out having to explain at every turn
the facts eppertaining to revenue con.
ditions. and the truth as to income and
outgo. The indications are they will
have to do great deal of explaining.
Certain to Extend War Tax.
In the first place. the Treasury would
be in much worse condition today than
1t is II 1t were not for the war tax.
That this was tax will have to he ex-
tended is accepted here as a certainty.
Not only will the extension Of this tax
add. nothing to the popularity of the
Democratic party. but when Congress
enacts the legislation for the extension.
there will be lot Of fireworks. The
Republicans in Congress are going to
make It an occasion for telling the
country all they know about the finan-
cial regime Of the Democratic party.
and for making the war tax as unpop-
ular an possible. Undoubtedly. efforts
will be made to hitch on to the resolu-
ton providing for the extension Of
the war tax other revenue legislation.
Confronting the Democrats, too, is the
prospect Of having a heavy reduction Of
revenue by the operation Of free sugar.
