The Price of Admission

cause II is the essence Of dlsillusion and
decay. and it. is mentally heavy, and
dull because age is sclf-Centered, and
conceited. Old people have their whole
interests in themselves, and talk end
lcssly about Themselves.
"Of course, our families endure us
because they have to, and friends OF our
own age. and who arc IN tho same boat,
cling To us, and find us entertaining
because We have the same canned mem
ores. and can swap the same dried and
withered "reminiscences. but there is
nothing in this that is thrilingly inter
esting TO strangers Nobody's idea OF
spending gay and pleasant evening Is
sitting UP listening TO some old woman
maunder on about when she was girl,
or some old man relate his adventures
during the Civil War.
Therefore. those of us who are wise,
realize that when VIC grow old we are
like pound Of poor tea, We have To
give away n chrome with ourselves IN
order TO sell ourselves to the public. We
have got to surround ourselves with
enough attractions to draw people about
us. We have to sugarcoat our plll, so TO
speak, 10 get our acquaintance TO
swallow IT.
"A lot of women when they grow old
draw into their shells Because il is
troublesome, they quit entertaining
They never give dinners or parties
They never have guests TO stay in their
houses They never have attractive
people about them, and pretty soon they
begin complaining about how lonely
they are, and that nobody ever comes
to see them, or invites them anywhere
They are women who are shut out Of
society because they won't pay the
price. They refuse to give the chrome
with their pound of tea For of this
you may be sure, that as long as a woman
makes her house a charming place to
come to, people will come to it. As long
as she gathers interesting people about
her, other interesting and brilliant people
will come. Above all she who is a notec

ODD PIECES OF
FURNITURE

From the personal letters | receive
from my column readers on tho subject
of interior decoration, ] have found that
one Of the questions that puzzle women
is this: What odd pieces of furniture
may be Approximately combined in
.Vofn7"
Many Of these bousekeepers who write
10 me, have q few pieces of period
furn Uure." perhaps and are conplexed
as 10 whether these may be mixed with
more modern furniure-or with fur
niture IT other periods.
To this question | reply: Yes. Odd
rieces Of ell sorts may be combined
{ they ar, simlar in color and IN line.
For INSTANCE. if you have n 'Jacobean"
chair with N'isted legs, much hand
carved and osher ornate features, you
cannot with tae'e put this IN o room
furnished with .yt,nple willow furniture
or diminished wootNwith pieces that have
straight lines and iutle decoration. The
best place TO put IL, therefore, would be
in the hallway, whore IT may shine IN
solitary glory. -,
II YOU have some Of The old English
mahogany pieces, howe perLthe mp
pendale, Sheraton or IleS.nelwhlte per
iods-you will find that sse look not
at all out of place with willow furniture
that is stained reddish-browh, or with
upholstered pieces or some of he amer

these fine old English pieces are char,
