'Middle-Aged Is label No Woman
Should Allow To Be Pinned On Her
BY RUTH MILLETT

There is no longer any need for
a woman's being Middle-aged.
If she is smart, a woman today
need 60 through only three ages
all of which she can make attrac-
tive.
She can get by safely with be-
ing a girl until she is thirty. From
then on she a be a woman until
she has great-grandchildren a n d
comes under the heading of "a
gl--nd old lady"
But the dreaded period, the age
with nothing to recommend it call
ed "middle-age," can be avoided.
The middle-aged woman Of the
past land there are still lots of
them today, though there needn't
be- could be pictured in a few
phrases.
First her looks. She had given
up smart coiffures and was fixing
her hair in some way that made
her look neat and tidy, o 6 h
scarcely smart or glamorous.
She didn't bother with makeup
unless she was dressed for a party
and then she put it on in dabs. She
wasn't interested in her figure.
She wore sensible shoes, was de-
voted to black, brown and navy,
for when she bought clothes she
thought first of all "Is it practi-
cal?" 1t never occurred to her
that something light and gay and
frivolous looking might be as prac-
teal as something drab.
Her interests could be counted
on the fingers of one hand. Her
family, her home. her garden, her
church work. Her conversation re-
volved around those interests and
it was a toss-up whether she would
talk about Juniors tendency to-
ward colds or a new recipe.
NICE ENOUGH PERSON-BUT
DULL
She looked respectable-but
hardly interesting. She did her du-
ty, but added little to the interest
of gaiety Of life.
In short, she was a Middle-aged
Woman.
Today, a woman of her years
can be whatever she likes. She can
look smarter than her daughter,
be as gay and charming as she
pleases, pay a good game of golf,
ride, swim, dance.
Her interests can branch out in
to any field. She reads, talks.
thinks-knowing it is as necessary
in this world to be entertaining as
to be good.
She's a woman-not a middle
aged woman-and she is fun to
have around. 4

Movie Revues|
WATERLOO BRIDGE" is
FEATURED AT CAROLINA

Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor
already have been voted the out
standing romantic team of 1910,
judging from the enthusiastic audi
ence reception accorded water
loo Bridge" which opened yester-
day at the Carolina Theatre.
The brilliant drama from the pen
of the Pulitzer Prize-winnlng play
wright, Robert E. Sherwood,
comes to the screen as the most
tender and heart : tugging love
story since Seventh Heaven"
with added interest in its timely
and wildly pictured background of
London of the war years 1917 and
1910.
Miss Leigh proved her ability as
an actress with her Academy A.
ward performance of Scarlet
O'Hara in Gone with the Wind"
but reveals further versatility in a
role as different from Scarlet as
day from night. Her portrayal of
a petite ballet dancer who finds
sudden romance and happiness in
a Whirlwind love affair with a
young officer whom she meets dur
ing an air raid on historic Water
loo Bridge, is played with force
and yet with a becoming restraint
and quiet charm.
Latest World News events are
