 A few days with Marcia were enough 10 convince Estelle that the visit was no answer to her Loneliness. Marcia was brutally frank in her conversation and her gossip was a sort far from agree able to the girl.
 My dear" she would say, "He lived with her for years right un- der his wife's nosei Of course, knowing his wife, you can't help but rather sympathize with him. Besides, live and let live is my motto. That's a sweet dress you have on, chlld!"
 Frequently Marcia would watch Estelle narrowly as she talked thus bitterly or frankly. The child would have no peace, Marcia thought impatiently. until she had ceased dreaming and come to a blunt understanding of the world about her. Estelle seemed some times to be an incorrigible dream CT.
 Don't believe In anything and learn to take everything you can get" Marcia said shraply one noon. "The sooner you do, the better for you! The only people wh knw any thing like happiness are those who are absolutely headtless."
 But don't want to believe that!" Estelle protested.
 You'll have to, sooner or later. I know! I was like you once but I got over it. The only thing to do is to laugh at everything and cheat when you can get away with 1t. That's as close as anyone gets to happiness"
 Estelle started to go downstairs. As she threaded the narrow bal cony looking down on the great living room she saw her father be- low. He was not alone.
 Suddenly the girl turned into her room, to stand there with hands against her hot cheeks.

 NO. sweet. I'd love one of those cocktails with 47 meafA elements in them, though. Do you know what I mean?"
 "I don't but Kerry will. He's a rather important person who does all sorts of things for father. I'll ask him to Nhave it sent up." Estelle rose, speaking. and Marcia moved to lay her hands on the girls slender shoulders. You real- ly are sweet" she drawled colly with a smile after a frank. slowly taken survey
 I'm not" Estelle answered with conviction, but it's lovely of you to say so, Marcia"
 We're going to have some good times tgether, child" ..,.
 1T know I shall!" ,.
 That's the spirit. Run along now, darling, and send me that cocktail-or two of them. I have a perfectly hellish head. The train was stufiy and the boat worse. The most ghastly people do come to Cuba! Tours, tours! And there were Cubans who would try to firt while using a toothpick. One can't always keep ones eyes shut and I hate eating all the while by myself, so there I was!"
 Moving toward the door, Estelle Sometimes it's a horridd trip" she agreed. Tt was sweet of you to come!'
 Waiting for the cocktail Marcia stepped out on the narrow balcony where vines chung loosely, futter- ing in the warm breeze.

MARY,s DAILY PROGRAM.

Last Wednesday evening when I dropped in to see the Johnsons somewhere about eight o'clock, Mary opened the door. The child looked so white and tired that I asked her what was the matter. Nothing" she said, but I've got such lot of French homework ." and off she went to wrestle with it.
 What's Mary been doing with herself?" I asked Mrs Johnson, "she doesn't look bit like her self" I don't know" replied her mother, but wish shed eat her supper properly. And she takes so long to get her homework done that she seems to have no time for anything else these days. I guess it's the spring" Maybe and maybe not" said I, ''but it looks to me like plain fatigue. Mary's in high school now, isn't she?" "Yes," said Mrs Johnson. and that's pretty good for thir- teen, isn't it, Doctor?" I agreed that it was, adding that Mary al- ways was smart youngster. But, I went on, its quite possible that she's doing too much. Freshmen often do, you know. How much time has she had out of doors to- day?" Mrs Johnson thought for a moment. "She was out for nearly two hours this afternoon, Doctor she replied. "Playing?" asked. Mrs Johnson's cheeks flushed and "No," she said, "T wanted to do q Hp vaxy Baby John for me. think she took him to the park" Y
 Well, that's all right" I said, "as long as she gets other time to play. And I suppose she does?" Mrs Johnson shook her head.
 She's doing lot of reading late- ly, Doctor" she said. flor the school play, you know" "Yes, I know" "Yes. I know" replied. and 1t beats me how these high school youngsters get with the programs they do. What time does young Mary get up these daysP" "six-thirty. She practices her piano for an hour before breakfast

"She stays at school for lunch?" "Yes, and she gets a good hot lunch, Doctor. I've made sure of that" You did we'll. But after lunch? Does she rest, or play outside, or what?'' She's supposed to be out in the playground until classes begin, but just now she's on the decoration committee for the freshman party and I know they have their meet ings in the school library during the lunch hour.

 Looks to Health, Too.
 Having a vital. absorbing inter est Is not, of course, all that is re- quired for happiness after. forty. but 1t is an excellent beginning.
 Take care of your health and looks but don't think so much about them that you are blind and deaf to everything else. Have a physical check-up ever so often and do what the doctor orders, then forget about it.
 In short, think about irterest- ing things outside yourself Just as much as you possibly can and you'll find zest in life at forty or any other age:

By MARY MARGARET MCBRIDE NEA Service Stan Correspondent Copyright 1es4, NEsA Service, Inc,
 New York, April 12-"Life be- gins to END at forty. There is no happiness after fifty."
 The woman with the over-mas- saged face, .discontented eyes ana sullen mouth is speaking. Her own story, she thinks, proves her pessi- mistic point. Ten months out of the year she lives in stuffy hotel room, nursing her rheumatism and her grievances.
 She looks forward eagerly to the annual month she spends with each of her children, but realiza- ticp is not unalloyed bliss. The daughter is married to a jolly man whom everybody except his moth- er-in-law adores. SHE laments that he will be a failure all his life because he lets everybody do him!
 The sons wife is a pretty. very independent little creature who, being an only child, always had her own way at home; and so her mother-in-law complains to any body who will listen that Anita is a spoiled piece who is running
 A selfish Mother.
 You can imagine what fun 1t IS to have Mother-in-law come for . visit! When she isn't nagging she Is sulking-because her son and daughter don't. take her into their confidence more; because she thinks they are anxious to get rid of her; or because she i3 sure no- body loves her. s
 The poor dreadful woman is, of course, a Horrible Example of what not to do if you want to be happy as you, grow older. Her initial and perhaps most fatal mis. take was in failing to provide her. self years ago with an absorbing interest outside herself.
 It's late, but not too late. even now, for her to take on an in- terest. Around the corner from the hotel, for instances, is an ex- change that markets the handi- work of dozens of women q good deal older than our Horrible Ex- ample. A few blocks away Is settlement house where workers would welcome the help several afternoons Q week of a woman ot rich and nature human exper- fence.
 There is a free public library on another nearby corner. Lec- lures that would cost less than her masseuse and do more for her facial expression are easily available.
 Happy Examples.
 The idea that accomplishment ends or even tapers off at forty.hve is a fiction that no modern man or woman should accept for 2 mo- ment. You've only to consult Whos Who to find out how silly such an idea is. Not only do people go on doing good work until they are seventy and eighty, but some new CT even begin the pursuit that wins them fame until they are forty or past. Just off-hand, think or Gertrude Jekyll who was painter and began to write at b6. She profited financially by her adven- ture, but you can have run doing new things without money re- turn.
 For a woman who won her big gest success after fifty, you need look no further than the idolized Marie Dressler, for several years one of the important figures in the motion picture world.
 A few years ago, Marie was broke, and traipsing about from studio to studio in Hollywood try ing to find work. Anybody less courageous might have accepted

I have just discovered that the world is a big place. My knowi- edee of peoples and countries out side of this good land of ours has been derived from nice shiny Illus trations in geography books 10 D.
 But this time it was different. A real ship piloted me to ports in Mexico, Central America, and south America, and there were sorties inland In which l had an opportunity to see for myself how these people live.
 For one thing, they live in the sun, the poorer classes or all these places, Whether their hous- es are built of bamboo walls on three sides, as in Central America, and topped strangely enough by heavy red titled roofs, or built of 'dobe and cement around a pa tio," depending upon the local idea of architecture, one seldom sees the tenants under cover. They are mostly outside = they even cook and eat outside with their odd stone stoves and wooden ta- bIes within ten feet of the family livestock, a horse, a mule, or 2 COW, perhaps all three, who could, by a stretch oe the neck absorb q tamaie or tortilla or black-bean soup if the notion took them and they had the energy to move.
 City by Contrast
 Children swarm the streets of the cities. Those in school sit be- hind open (but always barred) low windows, yet the doorways and wide halls open pleasantly to the world and stray dogs or curi- ous travellers may wander in un. nnolested. Most buildings are one story high 50 the students must work and study and concentrate with the street noises not twenty feet away.
 In almost every case, our guide and interpreter accented the work done by the government for the good of the children. Cars are lim- ited to crawling pace, not for the protection of the adult or the balky burro, but to safeguard the liftie fellow who suddenly steps outside his doorway to yell "hello" or "good.bye' in English and wave his hand, palm up. at the tourist who might be moved to throw O penny. sn.. i.
 Hospitals are built for children in many places and more are be-, ing planned, in these lands be- tween us and the vertical sun. In San Salvador I saw one hospital built by the good angel of the city out of his own pocket, that accom- modates one hundred and fifty children.
 Mexico accents its children. Central America does it. The cities of Colombia are doing 1t. It impressed me because the. infor-' nation came gratuitously, and not because I had made special in- quiry. No one knew I was an in- terested person. ,,
 The casual traveller might get the impression that these children sometimes need pity. But I, watched family life closely. True. little sister minded the baby, and perhaps another sister, as clean as an apple worked beside her moth- CT in the immaculate (open-air) coffee plant. nearby. But the calm faces of these children were con- tent. The baby often naked and with a dusty little seat, was their baby. And what mother or father were doing was important because 1t meant food. There was coopera- tion and family unity that we have lost somewhat.
