LITTLE TALKS BY
: BEATRICE FAIRFAX

be i'll the least interesting when she
Is sixty, and there is no chance
whateve: OF her being active, brill
liant and beloved at eighty, as the
Julia Ward Howes of this world
succeed in being.
It's my own notion that there is
no period of life, even the great
grandmotherly, when a healthy
woman is justified in sitting COM
fOrtably down in the big rocking
chair and thinking of herself as a
"has-been."
Two Opposed Types
And I'm quite unable to see why
any woman in the prime of life
should be willing to range herself
with the class that is going to seed
instead of with those to whom life
is still a reality. It's so easy to tell
at glance which type woman be-
longs to. If her walk and the way
she wears her clothes didn't betray
her, there's an unmistakable some
thing in the look of her eyes that
will tell you whether she is an in
dividual person with a life of her
own or merely the resigned and de-
caying relative of an obstreperous
younger generation.
And no one in search of compan-
ionship or friendship or help of any
sort would hesitate long, l imagine,
as to which sort of woman to ap-
proach.
But there are middle-aged women
too vital and energetic to accept the
ignominious fate of passive decay
and too lacking in wisdom to pro-
vide themselves with a suitable out
let for their energy. 1t is women
of this sort who unintentionally
cause a vast deal of unhappiness.
Any human being with strength,
