DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
THE PERPETUAL YOUTH CULT.
BY DOROTHY DIX,
Tho Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

Why are we all welded to the belief
that to be young is the greatest bless
ing in the world? Why do we try to de-
ceive people about our age, and con-
slider 1t a fulsome compliment for any
one to tell US that we look younger
than we areg Why do we insist that
we are still young at heart even after
our bodies grow wrinkled, and lottery,
and d~ecrepit?
There is no particular virtue in
youth. 1t is just an accident that hap
pens to everyone, and that we all re-
cover from in time. Youth isn't even
interesting In itself.
No old person Is as tiresome as a
young one to listen to because the old
person has PACK Of him or her 30 or 60
years crowded full of experience, Of
things that he or she has seen II
done that are stranger than any fic-
ton,
degree in life's school, and this being
the case, nothing is so strange as thai
we treat 1t as a sort of disgrace,
that we are ashamed Of 1t, and try as
hard to hide the fact that we have
celebrated 80 birthdays as we would
conceal having served a term In the
penitentiary or any other blot on our
escutcheons.
This idiotic Qualification Of youth
makes us invest with a radiant halo a
class of people who are really unfortu-
mates, instead Of being the darlings Of
the gods as we suppose, n whom we
should pity instead of envy. These ara
the ones whom we speak OF as being
so young for their age" or as never
grown up" or as having kept the
heart of a child,y
If we would stop to think we should
realize that for anyone not to be as
old as his age really means that he is
suffering from a case OF arrested de-
velopment. He Is what the alienists
call a moron. His mind stopped grow
ing In his youth. His brain has been
incapable Of assimilating he wisdom
that the years should have brought him.
For a child Of six to believe in Santa
Claus and the fairies, and that there
Is a pot of gold at the end Of the rain
bow, is beautiful and touching in its
artless innocence. But for a mar of so
to be SO credulous hat he car be taken
in by any confidence artist, or to swal-
low whole any preposterous statement,
Is simply driveling idiocy. We are filled
with contempt, and not admiration, for
an intellect so feeble 1t has never
learned to distinguish between the false
and the true, and that has been so
stupid experience has never taught 1t
anything,
we often hear 1t said of parents that
they are 80 young that they are
younger than their own children 1t is
true, for there is nothing that makes

a child so old as to have young parents.
, Somebody in a family has to grow up
and assume responsibilities, and look
out for the future, and when parents
refuse to do this they throw the bur
den of it on their children,
Whenever you find a father who Is a
mere boy who spends his time anus
ing himself, you will find also a care
worn little fellow of is or 20 wrestling
with the rent bill and the butcher bill.
Likewise, when you mind a mother
who is still a debutante in heart at 40,
and who is crazy about balls, n par
ties, and gadding about, you will find
daughters at home doing the homework
and trying to rear the younger children
poor little Marthas on whom flighty
young mother has dumped the family
cares.
In all sober truth, this modern cult
of youth, and especially the frantic eff
fort to try to keep young, though old,
is a mistake. So far as the body is con-
cerned it a not be done Time takes
its toll Of our strength, our looks and
our faculties, and 1t is misfortune, not
a blessing, when the soul does not keep
pace with the body in age,
AS proof OF this look at those unfor-
tunate old people, 60 and 70 years old,
who still have the ~devouring vanity of
youth and who van to be flattered and
admired for charms they no longer pos
oeS5t diiu lOT Dedulg lldt ultu ~ years
ago. Look at the haggard old women
with dyed hair, and painted faces, and
bodies decked out In flapper clothes
that belong by right to their grand
daughters, who made themselves a
laughing stock. Think of the tottering,
decrepit old beaux who ogle pretty girls,
and flirt n chatter about their con-
quests. Can anything on earth be more
disgusting?
Think also of the Old people who are
driven from place to place by a never
ending restlessness; who are in eternal
quest of the pleasures of youth that are
forever behind them; who dance with
their poor old bones creaking with
rheumatism; and who complain of food
that has lost its flavor to their ex-
hausted palates.
Contrast these perpetual youth fiends
with the men and women who have
grown old in mind along with their
bodies; dignified men n women who,
having lived a full life, are content to
spend the twilight Of their days In
peaceful contemplation Of the passing
show, with no desire to mingle again
In it's mad whirl.
Coo send US all the wisdom to grow
up and keep us from the folly Of try
ing to be perpetually young For the
whole tribe Of Peter Pans are a weari-
ness and a curse to all of those who
are forced to deal with them.
