DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

wear a gown or a coat different from
those worn by your companions. You
can suffer utter desolation of soul and
feel that there is nothing left in life
worth having if 1T rains on the day
you had planned to go to a picnic
You can know every torment of the
pariah if you are a wall-flower at
party or are too bashful to go with
the crowd. And it's only in your
salad days that your heart can
break.
Middle age is far happier than
youth because by the time We reach
fifty we have acquired a philosophy
that makes us proof against the
sings and arrows Of outra geous for
tune. We have learned to laugh az
ourselves, and SO ridicule has no
power to hurt US. The keen edge of
our desire has been blunted. and we
Go not want anything bad enough to
cry over missing it. Moreover. we
have seen so many high hopes blast
ed, SO many disasters turn into vic
cory, that we are content to wait the
turn of fate. secure that the law Of
compensation always works.
And our hearts have gotten to be
such tough old things that they may
De dented. but nothing can break
them any more. The young must
nave the one particular thing that
they want or nothing. The middle
aged take the goods that the gods
provide and make the most of them.
1t is also a mistake to think that
the young enjoy things more than
the middle-aged do. 1t is the differ
ence between a gormand and an cpl
cure. Youth comes to the banquet
Of life with q greedy appetite that
asks only that there be a large guam
tity of things for it to devour. 1t
does not appreciate the difference
between fine food and coarse food.
1t gctbles everything down. But the
epicure recognizes the fine art of
the chef: he savors every delicate
flavor. His educated palate registers
thCusar exquisite sensations
youth does not receive at all.
In travel youth sees only pile Of
stones in a ruin. Middle age, with
It's culture, sees in it the romance
ard histery of a vanished day. Youth
rea0s a book for its story. Middle
age gets a thousand other pleasures
of style, OF philosophy between the
pages. Youth is easily bored, but
to the middle-aged just people, just
life, is a drama whose interest never
fails.
To men. middle age is the time of
aChieI ement. 1t is their big hour. IL
is then that they sit in at the big
game of business and match their
skill and wit and luck against the
world. No thrill like that. No adj
venture like that. No sport like
that. Youth has no fun like that.
And even the men who never do
big thirgs have reached Easy Stress
by middle age if they are ever tn
arrive on that pleasant thorough
fare. They have their homes, their
comforts, their little flivvers and
have settled down into q humdrum
contentment that youth never knows.
Women should go rejoicing toward
middle age because it is their time or
emancipation, when the spinster no
longer requires a chaperon, and
when the mother has raised and set
tied her family and is free for the
first time to ENJOY herself.
Oh, middle age is the best time Of
life. What a pjty there are no mid
dle-aged to enjoy it.

acre is now in Bermuda, and the
other is in Lespedeza, Carpet
and Dallis grass, but I failed to
get a stand. Would it do to sow
this same mixture next month,
adding bur clover and also rye
and vetch?
In your section of the state one
should undertake to establish two
types Of pasture. For lowland areas,
we believe a good mixture to use
would be 10 to 90 pounds of Les
pedeza, two to five pounds Of Dallis
grass, one to two pounds of white
clover, two to five pounds of Carpet
grass and two to five pounds of red
top. Red top will give best results
on marshy or tight soils. Carpet
grass should not be seeded except
south of Atlanta. Probably the best

be sown in the fall. Dallis and Car
pet grass will probably succeed best
if sOwn in early July. A careful
man can sow them by hand. With
ordinary labor, however. it is best to
mix them all together with enough
sand to make a volume equal to two
bushels per acre by weight When
mechanical seeders are available.
the sand may be omitted. Covering
these seed very lightly into the
ground may be regarded as good
practice. 1t is important to clip the
pasture and keep the weeds in
check. Over grazing during the first
year is to be avoided. Give the
young plants good chance to thor
oughly establish themselves.
On the upland soils in your sec.
ton We think probably Bur clover
and Bermuda will prove to be as
good combination as you can use
on rough, broken or eroded lands.
kudzu may be planted and made
to furnish a considerable amount of
desirable grazing in the fall. Ber-
muda and Lespedeza are chiefly
valuable for grazing during the sum

plentiful. If YOU have a bottom pas
ture for use during the fall, winter
or early spring months, then YOU
can balance up your grazing areas
to very good advantage. Bermuda

Especially is middle age a reproach
to a woman. Just to be labeled mid

The first time woman hears herself
called middle-aged she suffers the
pangS of death and feels as if the
end Of all things had come to her.
Being a middle-aged wife is the most
hazardous of all jobs, and one that
many women lose through no fault
except that they are middle-aged.
With men being middle-aged is not

that men shall remain eternally

also, so dread middle age that they
stay put in their forties for a good
decade past the time limit and they
are seldom fifty until after they are
sixty.
