Listen, World!

That curious wistfulness that
begins when you're about
twenty-seven. that feeling that
life has somehow gone flat.
OF course you hide it fierce
ly. You're determined that
no one shall guess that every
thing isn't jake. You deliber-
ately seek out younger friends,
make more whoopee, veal
brighter colors.
But the old kick doesn't
come back. Life has changed
somehow. Things that made
you laugh your head off a
couple of years ago bore you
now. Things that burned you
up with excitement hardly
stir you. And you're gripped
by a secret terror. Is this
all there is to life? Is the
fun going to fizzle out be-
fore you've hardly started?
Does this happen to every one,
or is there something wrong
with you.
Stop worrying! There's moth
ing wrong with you. This does
happen to every one, and it's
quite natural that it should.
Life isn't fizzling out-you're
just growing up, that's all.
Did you think the razzle- dazzle
would last forever? It won't.
1t can't. You'd be as unnatural
as a two-headed calf if it
did.
Want to see some people
who don't feel this flatness,
who feel the same thrills at so
which they felt at Is, who gig
gle just as much, raise just as
much whoopee? They do exist.
They can easily be found. At
the insane asylum. Joking9
Not a bit Of it. Those people
are living as you think you'd
like to live. They're really
staying young. Like it? OF
course, you don't! Then stop
your wheeling and be your

since your first yawp. And
what would life have been
worth If you hadn't changed?
Suppose you'd gone on drool-

you did at 2? Not so pretty
huh? You'll admit that it was
highly necessary for you to
change between Q and 20. Well,
it's just as necessary to change

necessary to cut out your
