DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
WORLDS Highest Paid Woman Writer.
Peace Under the White Flag.

FINALLY" continued the woman on
the shady side of fifty, 81 realized
what fool I was making of myself,
and how impossible it was to delude
anybody into seeing me as I wanted
them to see me, instead of as 1 was.
So one grand and memorable day I
surrendered to time. With a cry Of
loud joy, I flung my pomade bottles
into the garbage can, and let out my
corset strings, and treated myself to
the first square meal I had had in
years.
why, age is a regular picnic as
soon as you cease to struggle against
it! It's blanket excuse that enables
you to do everything you want to do,
and let's you out of doing the things
you don't, want to do. It's a reg
ular cinch.". -- - .FsFo--I
$50 is poverty" said the poor
woman, ct have been thru the hell
Of the shabby genteel. I know what
makeshifts to appear to be better off
than you are. 1 know what it is to
spend the money for rent, SO that you
can have a good address. that you
need for food. I know what 1t is to
wear a fine frock over an empty
pink tea when your children are
hungry for bread and milk.
Il know all about the heart break
ing, nerve racking strain of trying to
keep up WITH people TlcneT tIldn YOU
are, and of the humiliations that those
must suffer who hang on to fash
ionable society by their eyelashes. I
know that awful sound of the knock
on the door of the creditor who comes
with bills you can't pay, and how like
a cur dog you stink down back streets
to avoid meeting those to whom you
owe money.
"And 1 know the peace that passes
all understanding that comes when
you give up the struggle, and get down
to living life on an honest platform,
where you can pay as you go, and
where you don't try to look like a
near millionaire on a clerks salary.
"Genteel poverty is purgatory.
Honest poverty without any make be-
lieve frills to it. is full of comfort and
even luxuries. A chop and a potatoe
are just as nourishing truffles and
terrapin. The thing that has neither
nourishment nor flavor is mock duck.
The moment 1 gave up the strug-
gle to appear prosperous tho poverty
stricken, 1 found that 1 had plucked
the sting from poverty. 1t isn't pow
erty that's so bad. It's the fighting
against it, and when once you ac-
cept it as your lot in life you pass
into a sort of Nirvana into which the
worry and trouble of style and fashion
do not enter, and which lifts you
far, far above the voice of Mrs.
Grundy."
There's great peace under the
white flag" I said, thoughtfully.
'Amen," responded my guests.

X-Rays have been extensively used.
and army doctors are inclined to
think that they are more satisfactory
than radium.
The development of mesothorium,
which will largely replace radium as
an ingredient of luminous paint, will
leave much more radium for expert
mental purposes in the field of medi-
cine. Then, too. with the return of
peace. there will be mere time and
inclination on the part of doctors and
surgeons to study the element about
which SO little is known, but which is
so promising a cure for diseases pro-
nounced incurable.
