SIDE TALKS
Summer Hats in February
BY RUTH CAMERON

"Grow old along with me, The best of life is yet to be-
 The first law of life is continual change. The world Is changing all the time It Is not the same today as it was yesterday. nor quite the same this minute as it was when you started to read this talk.
 Out of Tune With the Infinite.
 And you've got to acquiese in these, changes unless you want to be hope- lessly out of tune with the infinite.
 When tell you what started me on this train of thought you may think it is a very lofty sermon for a very simple text.
 A neighbor of mine who Is on the far side of thirty-nve was talking about the way people have of putting on summer hats in February.
 Tt just makes me mad" she said. Its so silly. Why they put them on earlier every year. make it Q rule not to get mine before the mid- de of April. the same as I always have"
 And she threw her head back with the air of one who has shown her devotion to worthy principle. Let Her Buy When She Wants and
 Other People Do the Same.
 Now of course there is no reason why she should buy her hats earlier If she doesn't want to-
 But why make virtue of 1t? And why be mad" because other people buy early. There's nothing wrong about that change, and it's the most foolish waste of energy to set your mind against changes that arc not intrinsically sharmful. . | The person who wants to 9row older gracefullS. need not change. her mode of living or thinking accord ing to each new style, but she must be tolerant of other peoples modes of living and thinking.
 ''When Was Girl Forty Summers
 Ago.''
 We didn't use to do so-and-so."- didn't 1t try your soul to have some one always saying that to you with an air of great superiority wf1en you were young?
 Surely then you will never cay its equivalent to other young people.
 The old order chatgeth, yielding place to new"---in little things and big.
 Be tolerant to 1t. You might just as we'll. For your interference will will only turn on you and rend you. Rz/->.--.~~
