ride in limousines. IL their youth

Thus. for a multitude. age is as it

They can have the luxuries, the in
dulgences that they never had when
they were young, and crafty the
dreams that were once merely fairy
tales TO them.
Age becomes their holiday and there
is nothing more delightful than to
see these gray-haired old couples
travelling To the fa- parts of the
earth, or sunniTg themselves at Palm
Beach and Southern California. or
building for themselves beautiful
homes that have in them everything
that is their hearts desire.
Women dread age as their worst

Corporal Gum, who plays the part
of the heavy vampire. He was squint-

he was an inoffensive corporal in the

earlier still OF the University OF

One of our wonderful self-made
men-a man who has achieved great
fame and fortune by his own efforts,
and who is himself on the shady
side of so. has been philosophizing
about life. Among other things he
says is that we should grow hap
pier as we grow older. and that we
are sure to grow happier IL we have
done our work in the world well.
Let all those who look upon age
as a tragedy ponder well this COM
forting thought. For 1t is true. Age
should be the most beautiful time
of ones life just as twilight is the
most beautiful time of the day. In
stead of dreading il, one should look
forward to it with joyous anticipa-
tion as one does to that serene hour
between the toll and striving of the
day and the sleep of the night, when
one sits with quiet hands and quiet
soul. and remembers and dreams.
We are in the way of thinking
of youth as the happiest time of
life because it is filled with high
animal spirits, with health and
strength and enthusiasms and fierce
desires. We forget that youth is
also the season of cataclysmic re-
actions; that 1t is a time of black
griefs, and hopeless disappointments
and devastating SORROWS.
For youth has no perspective on
life and cannot distinguish between
mountains and molehills of trou-
bIes. It has acquired no philosophy
with which to comfort itself when
things go wrong. 1t has not learned
10 trust to time to smooth out its
difficulties and dry its tears. With
il every catastrophe is final.
A broken slate is as heart
wrenching a grief to us when we
are children as a broken heart is
when we are grown up. A rain
that prevents US from going on ex-
cursion is as bitter disappoint-
ment as is the failure of our most
cherished ambition later on. Not
to have a party frock like the other
girls. or a dress suit made by the
college tailor that the other boys
AFFECT, not to be invited to some par
ticuIar dance, or to be a wall flower
when one gets there, fills one with
a despair at IS that no wreck and
ruin of ones fortunes could bring at
IS.
For in youth the sensibilities are
all raw. The feelings are all on the
surface. The years grow a cuticle
over them. Experience hardens
them. and so with age we are inn
mune from a thousand sorrows that
tear like vultures at the hearts of
the young.
We have learned to see things in
their true proportions. and to esti-
mate them at their real worth. and
so we can smile over the things
over which the sweet-and-twenty
agonizes, and mildly wonder that
it can vex itself with such trivial
follies.
Does youth wear the willow and
eat its heart out in vain longing
for some particular he or she? Age
could tell 1t that romantic love does
not last. and that Romeo and Juliet
would have quarreled within week
if they had married. Youth weeps
it's eyes out because it cannot have
the pink chiffon and satin slippers
upon which ii has set its fancy.
Age does not give a regret to the
gauds of fashion but settles down
comfortably in its old clothes and
big shoes. Youth perishes with dis
appointment IL barred from any
planned pleasure. Age turns with q
sigh of relief to its book in the
corner.
