COMMENTED YEARS
Bell Syndicate.-WNU Features.

The last years of life may be
the worst, or the best. 1t depends
largely on the individual. Every
Woman should be preparing her
self, says Miss Norris in today's
article, for a happy old age.
There are many compensations
for the loss Of vigor and the
pleasures of the earlier years.
One Of these is the freedom from
responsibility, the chance to do
some of the things that you haze
always ,Uanted to do.
Some old tUon1en are sick, and
some poor. Others are saddened
by the family troubles Of their
children. But in most cases there
is nothing important Wrong, and
rUhether the elderly lady is hap
Ply or unhappy is matter of out
look. 1t is hard for a 1UhiIe to be-
come adjusted to the limitations
Of age, but there is quiet con-
tentment that is north striving
for in the autumn of life.

| old woman. For no matter what
| you do she will never be satisfied.
Some years ago I knew couple
who had charming home down on
Long island. One summer they had
an opportunity to go abroad, and
offered their home to business
friend.
Two Difficu Old Ladies.
''The only thing" our friend said,
in making this offer, "is that my
wife's mother lives with us and
she wants to stay on in the house
during the summer.
The other mans face fell.
"I'm sorry" he said, cit can't
be done. You see, we have an old
lady of our own"
Both these men knew that there
was no chance that the old ladies
would get together, work out a con-
genial and perhaps even pleasant
relationship. No such hope! The sec
ond family had to forego a chance
for a cool beach summer, and the
first family had to seek out some
other solution for the old tyrant's
company.
Why is it old age must be so I'M
reasonable, exacting and unman-
ageable?
Most old ladies were nice wom-
en- once, loved wives and good
mothers. Why can't they prepare,
in their minds, all through the
younger years, for the inevitable
changes and solitudes that are be-
fore them? Whether you marry or
whether you don't, you may some
day be alone. Why deceive your
self with the idea that the young
sters want you in their lives, that
you have peculiar charms, claims
and rights that other old ladies
haven't?
Remember what you thought, 30 |
years ago, of your husbands moth
er. That's what they think of you
today. Face it, and if you can, turn
yourself into cheerful, occupied, |
useful old woman, too busy with |
her own interests to watch the
clock and the calendar to make sure
,ha. the children are neglecting her.
The one gift you can give your
children now, and it is great gift,
S to let them see that you are
Happy.

MD PEOPLE ought to solve
their own problems.


~ It is a great reflection on
your intelligence if you have
lived go or 70 years in this trou-
bled world, and even now don't
know what you want, how you
can manage, or how to be hap
py. Being happy is matter of
intelligence, and to be unhappy
is to argue yourself stupid.
Naturally there are times in all
our lives when bereavement, or
money trouble, or the actions of
those dear to us cause us deep con-
Germ. I'm not talking of that sort
of thing. I'm talking of these old
people who mourn and fret and
complain and generally annoy the
younger crowd, and make them
selves burden for the last 20 years
of their lives.
Mary Cutter, for example, at "a
is strong as horse and good for
many more years. Mary was a
loved wife, raised three sons and
daughter, saw them all nicely
married. When she was widowed,
and found her resources much re-
duced, she proceeded to make of
herself as much of nuisance as
human being can.
She was stunned with grief when
her children married, tainted at the
church, hated her son-in-law and
ughters-in-law violently. She car
ried on when she had to sell the
old home as if she had been turned
into the street. Her stay at a nice
quiet family hotel was one long
groan.
The girls husbands got together
and bought her cottage she had
loudly coveted for years. They fur
nished it; moved her in. She
thanked them half-heartedly, and
began to find things wrong with the
furnace, window screens, neigh |
borhood and the earth in the gar
den.
Nothing Pleases Her.
Now, five years later, she speaks
bitterly of the children "shunting
her off, into this dreadful little
place, and asserts that she has al
ways hated it.
"She simply is doing everything
she can to ruin our lives" writes
her daughter "She criticizes the
childrens manners and the way we
dress them. She says to them, when
we send them in to call, Don't
bother to come, my dears. Grand
ma knows you don't want to-
"The worst OF it is" this letter
concludes, my husbands mother
is a darling, helpful and cheerful
and adored by the children. She
and a friend keep clearinghouse,
so there's no question of her living
here, but if we ask her to dinner
once more than we do mother, there
is trouble. What can one do with a
unhappy old lady who
still isn't sick enough for SAM
tarium or poor enough for homer"
The answer is-nothing. If all
through the 30s and the 40s your
mother wasn't getting ready for
this time, finding amusements and
interests with which to fill it, look .
ing forward to the delights of grand l
and to the serene ease
rom burden and responsibility that {
I'D age means, nothing will change
ler. I would be very careful to
out your husbands and your chill {
1ren's interests first and to concede
as little as possible to this twisted
