 "When I was fifteen," she says, land taking up standing space at the Metropolitan, caught a glimpse of an ex-opera singer who was in down . at = the heel, soiled ermine splendor, trying to hang on to what had once belonged to her.
 "The sight of Q woman who couldn't let go filled me with pity and I vowed that if I ever reached the place dreamed of, I would leave 1t while 1t was still mine. Right then and there set forty as the time to get out of opera, should fate ever let me get into it." Fate did, and Geraldine Farrar kept her promise. At fifty she quit the concert stage, and kept the second promise to herself.
 The last six years (she Is now 50) have been spent in living the way an opera star couldn't live leisurely, in the country, growing flowers, making Q place for herself In 0 small community, writing Cher autobiography Such Sweet Com pulsion" is on the press), filling her house with friends.
 She is living in the present. A woman would know 1t by the be- comingness of gray curls on the top of her head, by the just-right shade of her, rouge and lipstick, the glearn of her soft rose nail polish, the smart simplicity of her clothes.
 Men would know 1t by the way her blue eyes light up when she talks, by the enthusiasm she has for the things she IS doing right now, by her quick smile.
 Yes, 1t would be Q good thing for every woman facing thirty or forty or fifty to talk to a woman who knew when to let 90 of one kind of success and start building another.
 For Q woman doesn't have to have 0 career to need the lesson of putting one life behind when she begins another. Every time her hus- band climbs another rung of the ladder, or falls back, every time a woman takes on new responsibili- ties or outgrows old ones, she needs to know the importance of grasp ing the new, and letting 90 of the past. ;.
