Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Old Age Can Be Best Time of Life,
For Many Worries Disappear

she gets along toward her golden
wedding day that she gives up and
quits and lets nature take its course
Another advantage of age is that
you can do business on such little
capital. When you are young so
much is expected of you that you
have to put on big show to even
be noticed, but SO little is expected
of you when you are old that you
can get by with any sort of mediocre
performance.
ANY old woman who powders her
nose and whose store teeth fit is
called pretty. If her clothes are of
this years vintage she has reputa-
ton as good-dresser. If she reads
the newspapers and talks about
topics Of current interest instead Of
maundering on about the time her
Johnny had the measles 40 years
ago and repeating the smart sayings
of her grandchildren, she is esteemed
brilliant converse tionalist. And
If she is sweet and amiabIe and
gracious she is a parsonage in the
community to whom they take visit
ing firemen to see.
And perhaps the real consolation
prize of age is that it is the one
perfect alibi for all we want to do
and all we don't want to do. We
are too old to have to take care
OF our grandchildren when their
mothers want to play bridge or 20
on a trip or to have to serve on
committees or to be bothered with
boresome people, but we are young
enough to take tour around the
world If we want to and to 20 to
gay dinner parties and otherwise
enjoy ourselves.
1T is a great racket being old"
said the old lady.
Evening star., 1941-03-21

A chirpy old lady in her late
70s was discourSing to a group
of middle-agers the other day about
the consultations of age. Don't take
getting old so hard" she said. ITS
fine when you get used to it. I
admit that finding your first gray
hair gives you shock that you
never really get over, and then when
other women begin helping you down
the stairs and giving you the easy
chair out of the draft you feel like
committing mayhem upon them. But
after you accept the idea that you
are no longer a girl, and don't have
to keep up the pretense of being
one or trying to look like one, you
realize that Browning knew what
he was talking about when he said ::
Come, grow old along with me, the
best is yet to be- Believe me, my
dearS, age has many perquisites and
emoluments For one thing, 1t is
the great emancipator. No woman
ever really knows what freedom is
until she gets past so and knows that
nobody is going to take second look
at her anyway, so she can wash the
cosmetics off of her face, let out her
corset strings, buy a pair of fiat
heeled shoes and be comfortable. 1t
doesn't matter whether she Is fat or
thin, so she doesn't have to count
her calories and she can dip into the
mayonnaise and whipped cream as
heavily as she chooses, and doesn't
have to live like a starving refugee
to keep her figure. Why, just being
able eat all the lemon pie you want
without feeling like a criminal is a
compensation for being 10 years
older by anybody's figuring.
Then you are done with the man
proposition, which is a worry that
turns young women old before their
time. When you are in your SOS If
you haven't caught husband you
know you are never going catch one,
so you give up the chase and sit down
in peace and rest your feet.
Same way about marriage. 1t
takes 20 or 80 years for a wife to
get her husband off her mind so she
can really enjoy him and get some
fun out of marriage. Up to that time
she is always afraid she is going to
lose him to some platinum blond,
or she is worrying about trying to
make him over according to her
own pattern, and it is only when

cluded-and here, too. you may often
make use of those inevitable left
oversI A few stalks of celery, some
olives, a few canned peas, perhaps
piece of cucumber-even cooked
beets and string beans, may go into
the salad bowl with great success.
Even more important is the flavor
ing given your dressings. AS many
leftover cooked meats are apt to be
rather dry, they are vastly improved
by being marinated or soaked for a
time in a French dressing to which
condensed tomato soup, a pinch OF
curry powder, a bit of garlic, some
chopped chives or onion juice-or
even some fresh herbs have been
added. Some people like to use the
vinegar taken from jar OF mixed
sweet pickles for the marinade-thus
using very little oil. In any event,
the period of marinating is well
worth the time it takes, resulting as
it does in a noticeable Improvement
in both texture and flavor.
Almost any meat may be used, with
lamb, perhaps, the least successful
but even lamb profits by the
marinating. Veal and pork are
especially good-chicken and duck,
and, of course, turkey are always
delicious. Be sure that all ingredi-
ents are good and cold, with the
green's perfectly washed, dried and
crisped. If you use a vegetable juice
ring, such as tomato or mixed can
ned Juices with gelatine added, you
will find that the flavor is improved
by adding a little lemon juice and
salt. Make this early enough in the
day so that it will be good and cold
as we'll as firm. Some fruit juices
combine well with the meat salads
as Jelly rings-try apple juice or
grapefruit juice in this manner.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
want to have the walls and
woodwork of my living room green
and very much object to having the
ceiling white. Would it be too much
to tint the ceiling to match the
walls? I have chosen this green
to match the background of a very
lovely chintz with a floral pattern.
I also have a pale green broadloom
rug for the floor. The room is
deep, running all the way through
the house, with a large window
at one end and a standard size one
at the other. ANNA c. S.
Answer-I am a bit afraid of 50
much green in a room of this type,
and fear that you will have a sub
merged, or underwater, feeling in a
long room with green surrounding
you on all four sides I would sug-
gest that you do the ceiling and
the two end walls in another color
Pick out one other shade in your
chintz such as soft yellow or a
grayed- -pinkish shade. This will
make your fine chintz draperies
much more effective, lessen the
length of the room and also reflect
light the full length of the room.
The ceiling tone may be several
shades lighter than the two walls
With your side walls and floor done
in green you may repeat your warm
tones in upholstery fabrics and re-
peat your green colors at either
side of the windows, on the light
walls, with pictures, prints or flow
er arrangements. You still will have
the effect of a green room, but 1t
will not be depressing.

Slenderizing
Routine Is
Offered
Exercises Designed
For Older Women
Not Strenuous
By Patricia Lindsay

Dy uybCtu LfU0SNp
Older women who have neglected
to exercise too many years must
begin refashioning routine with
movements which do not strain
them. Much harm can be ex-
perienced from strenuous move
ments if your body has not been
gradually limbered first.
Swimming is an excellent means
of limbering gradually and may be
followed by more strenuous reducing
and refashioning exercises, such as
hip Slamming and waist stretching.
Today present two safe exer-
cises for any older woman, or for a
woman who is recuperating from an
illness.
The first is a perfect all-in-one
for acquiring control of ones torso;
1t should be practiced in stocking
feet and loose clothing
Stand with legs apart, hands
touching in front of body. Swing
arms high and back, swing them
low and let them cross each other.
Keep elbows straight and knees
straight as you swing rapidly and
far II times Relax and repeat. Also
hold your abdomen in and UP.
This exercise, though simple, Is
splendid for reducing the legs and
for acquiring a steady balance which
encourages body poise.
Grasp q turkish towel in both
hands. Raise left leg out stifly
without bending knee. Loop the
towel under your ankle and pull it
briskly from side to side as the weight
Of your leg rests on the towel. Relax
after couple of minutes and then
loop the towel underneath the ankle
and let it slide up the leg to under
the knee as you briskly pull it from
side to side. Relax and repeat with
right leg.
All the exercising in the world will
not benefit you unless you make
good posture an unconscious habit.
You must hold your abdomen in and
up, your buttocks tucked under, your
head back and shoulders back but
relaxed Be queenly-be proud of
an easy erect carriage-your body
functions normally and makes you
healthy when held in correct pos
ture!

Add a few chopped olives to

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
am looking for a dining room
table certain size, and some of
my friends have told me that II
would be better to have 1t made
by a cabinetmaker. I know very
little about having furniture made
to order and would like your ad-
vice as to whether would be bet
ter pleased with it made this way,
or whether the "commercial' furni-
ture would be just as satisfactory.
r like nice finish and a handmade
look, but I do not feel that I know
enough about the subject to be sure
about proportion and construction.
L. F. C.
Answer-Here are the best points
Of each procedure. If you have
q size and design in mind that is
not similar to the ones made by
the better furniture companies and
are willing to pay a little more, the
cabinetmaker can furnish you with
a table. Go to one whose work
you know, look over the article that
he is doing, take him a picture
or sketch of the type of thing
you have in mind. He will make
sketches for your approval and give
you an estimate of what it will cost.
You may also discuss woods and
finishes. Naturally, you will expect
to pay for the time and personal
effort that this takes and your
table will probably cost more than
the commercially made one.
On the other hand, if you find
a table that suits you in design
and size you also will find that
there Is very beautiful furniture
made commercially" in this coun-
try today. 1t is just as fine, just
as true to traditional design and
as beautifully finished as any that
has ever been made. To be sure,
the structural parts Of these pieces
are turned out by the hundreds,
but the carving, assembling and
finishing is done by hand and the
polish represents many hours of
hand work. You cannot do better
than to select . table made by one
of the better furniture makers and
sold by a reputable store, unless you
want individual design, and in that
case your cabinetmaker will make it
for you.
