CHARACTERIsTICs OF YOUTH
Just between ourselves, do you
ever stop to consider what Il Is that
makes you think Of one man aged
nifty or sixty as an old geeSer and
another Of the same age as, well,
not quite old enough TO regard as !.
an old geezer2 II you have con-
ceived any Tangible ideas about II,
most Of our grownup readers would
DO interested In them, TN sure ".
but please let tis have them without
obligation TO discuss or debate or use
them. often wish I had received a
better education. Never learned how
to dictate nave to write Il myself,
II ct all, and worse, have 20 peck
II out with two index fingers--de-
plorable waste Of time--two thumbs
and six fingers practically unused
except casually to express my
opinion Of an opponents bowling.
Speaking as q gerontologist and
with the single desire to help every
one stay young as long as possible,
I consider the following character
istics chiefly responsible for the i'm
preston that the individual is
youthful: M NJ
I. Good posture and a good gait
2. Good teeth.
These are the features which
whether you are conscious Of the
fact or not, convey the impression
Of youthfulness. If the individual,
man or woman, has good posture
and gait and good teeth, he or she
Is still young, regardless Of the
chnological age.
Good posture and q good gait i'm.
ply no particular kind Of physical
training or development but a7nat-
ural, easy, efacient carriage and
graceful way Of handling the body;
freedom from odd Irnannerisr1ns or
peculiarities.
Good teeth implies that the I'M
dividual has most or all Of his or
her own teeth, or artificial teeth
that are functionally e6lcient, and
good jaw development which nattr.
ally goes with normal use Of the
teeth In 1iastication.
II you think Of these characters
tics Of youth as significant from the
standpoint Of personal appearance,
that Is all right, but personal APP
pearance Is less important, you will
realize as you get on in life, than
the thing called vite. What vite
means Is told in practical way In

Men or women who begin to feel
O bit stale, always tired and inclined
to stick in the mud from lack Of ana-
bition or frolner interest In doing
things, though still In the thirties
or forties, had better cultivate vito.
Best time to rejuvenate is before
anybody else realizes you need u.
