and fascinating 1t can be. She is
younger now than she was Few

Laying aside all sex appeal"
writes a wise and witty philoso-

old persons are more interesting
than young ones. There comes a
time in a mans life when a
woman of forty is more interesting
than one of eighteen. Beside the
mature woman, a girl is rather
crude"
BY forty you learn, If you have
made fairly good use of your in
