The majority of women are reluc-
tant to have their ages published,
personal matter of no particular in
terest to the general public. This is
probably true unless thru some I'M
usual accomplishment a woman is
brought before the public eye, when
her years become a matter of moment.
But even then the exact age is seldom
given, the writer contenting, himself
with the statement that his victim is
in the early thirties or the late ferties,
as the case may be. The exception is
score and ten line and is still physical
ly and mentally 'tfit."
Mrs. Ruth Campbell, who has a
rooming house. az f29 West gordon
longs to this class. She has passed
her 18th birthday anniversary and is
healthy and happy, her activities put
ting many younger woman to
shame. Mrs. CampbeIFs home corner
which before it came into heg posses
sion, was an eyesore, has become, un-
der her care, an asset to the neigh
borhood. Flowers, mainly of the old
fashioned varieties, flourish and bloom
wherever space can be found. From
early spring unit late fall the blossoms
brighten the days for the passerby.
During the heated term, Mrs. Camp
bell arose at $3.50 to water and care
for her flowers.
But Mrs Campbells activities are
not confined to her home and flowers.
She is interested in the doings of her
home town, and during the Free Fair
attended three days in succession and
then went to the exhibition Friday
night, winding up with a last visit on
Saturday.
Probably you have a mental picture
of large, robust woman, somewhat
masculine in type. You're wrong. Our
neighbor is a spry little body, not
much larger than the proverbial pint
of cider And she is rs years young.
