Theory That Age Sours Women
Called Harmful Superstition

OF all the taboos under which
the feminine sex has suffered SO
grievously during all the ages,
none of them have been such a
handicap to it as the superstition
that woman was only attractive
while she was young. and that
there was nothing for her but the
scrap heap when she grew old.
Strangely enough, this ban
against age applies only to women.
A man may take age in his stride
as it were, and nobody bothers
about it. He isn't excluded from
society because he is getting stout
around the middle and bald on the
pate. In fact, we recognize that
age ripens and mellows man as
it does good wine, and that the
middle-aged and even elderly man
lis generally more charming and
Ia more stimulating companion
than callow boy.
Place Is in Home
But we are still sold to the
superstition that age sours women
and we consider that. the place fol
the elderly female is the nursery
or the f1reside at home. They are
not supposed to want to step out
anywhere except to church or the
cemetery. When a man pays one
any attention he does it either as
a work of supererogation or be-
cause she has money and it is the
come-on to selling her some bonds
Yet at middle age many women
are far better looking than they
were in their youth. Life chisels
many a rough face into symmetry
and experience lights the fire OF
intelligence in many dull eyes
Many a gawky and awkward and
unattractive and shy girl acquires
poise and dignity with age, and
just having lived through 40 or SO
or so years makes any woman
more interesting to talk to.
Another superstition to which
we cling is that women age more
rapidly than men. Possibly this
may have been the case in the
past when women led narrow, dull
lives and rusted out for lack OF
rubbing up against the world
Then, when girl married, she was
tied to her home and was expected
henceforth to take her interest in
life vigorously through her hus-
band and children. A good wife

To Be Wed

An announcement Of interest is
that made by Sonora de Lastra-
Charriez of the engagement of her
daughter, DR.. Ivonne Lastra, to
DR.. Sidney R. Caller, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel Caller of Balti-
more. The wedding is scheduled
for early summer.
DR.. Lastra, daughter of the late
Senator Alfonso Lastra- Charriez
OF Puerto Rico, received her un-
dergraduate training at the Uni
versity Of Puerto Rico. She has a
masters degree from George
Washington University and a Phi.
D. from the University of Mary
land. She now is a National In
stitute of Health fellow, doing re-
search on tropical diseases.

and mother wasn't supposed to
consider her looks or her figure, or
read anything except books of de-
votion, and naturally she did get to
look like her husbands mother.
The modern woman has changed
all that. The middle-aged woman
Of today looks younger than her
husband, even when they are ap-
proximately the same age. Also,
she is peppier. She is the one
who wants to go places and do
things and who drags him out to
places of amusement and on trips.
And she belongs to study clubs
and current events classes, and she
is up on her politics, and hasn't
the slightest idea of settling down
to senility for the next 20 years.
Kinder to Women
But if men have the advantage
of women in youth, age is kinder
to women than it is to men. No
old woman is as forlorn and lonely
as an old man. She can make
more of home for herself if she
has to live alone, and if she has
to live with others she fits in
better than the old man does.
The man who is too old to be in
business or to follow his old oc-
cupation is lost. He is bored to
death. He does not know how to
kill time. But the old woman has
her crony or two; she can make
patchwork quilts or crochet or
knit; she can take care of her
children's children and keep her
heart warm with their devotion.
And so, perhaps, life, which is
more just than we think, averages
matters up by giving men the best
of age when they are young and
women the best of age when they
are old.

the academic and personal free

democracy sending it's light far
over our country. There are, too,
many cultural advantages open

| have been asked to write a
few words on why | came to
Chapel Hill to live.
In my old age, instead of be-
lieving my life to be finished, l
am just beginning a new educa-
tion and am spending my plenti-
full and long coveted leisure in
research and writing. For many
years ! enjoyed the facilities of
several fine university libraries
and the Library of Congress,
but since the illness of a men,
Der of my family kept me closely
at home, ! had long depended
largely on the extension depart
ment of the Library of the Uni
versity of North Carolina.

library is easily the best | know
of, and ! have had wide library
experience. The head of the de-
partment, Miss Nellie Robertson.
usually turned my requests over
to her chief assistant, Miss Eva
Mae Grice. During the four or
five years ! have been using the
extension library, Miss Grice
has exemplified such zeal, intel
ligence, and cooperation in run
ming down and sending me both
general and out-of-the-way
books and data on my not too
simple field of study, that / have
come to regard her as a real COL
laborator on one finished book
and another now in progress.
This, then, is the first reason
that inclined me to move to
Chapel Hill. For / gradually fell
into the habit of coming here to
consult ponderous reference

really make it tough for Mr.. Nelson
now, a two-time offender.
MR.. SCOTHERN opined to Mr..
Nelson that he'd have to take him
right down to the lookup. Mr.. Neil
son said he didn't much like Jail
but he didn't see what he could do
about it, so if Mr.. Scothern would
crank, they could start "Old Betsy"
and just haul the evidence right on
down town and be done with it.
Mr.. Scothern liked that idea fine,
so he trotted round and enthusiast
cally put his arm to the crank. Old
Betsy coughed once, and then her
motor caught like clap of thunder
and as Mr.. Scothern jumped back,
Mr.. Nelson gunned her. The old
jalopy roared out of that spot like
seven devils was after her.
Mr.. Scothern was delayed some,

propriate language and then forget
ting where he had left his car and
almost missing it in the dark. When
he finally got on the trail, it was
pretty cold, the trail, I mean.
He found Old Betsy sleeping it
off in front of the canyon country
schoolhouse, along with maybe 80
other vehicles whose owners were
presumably whooping it up to the
music, so called, that leaked outside
the place from every pore.
MR.. SCOTHERN WENT in to re-
collar Mr.. Nelson, but when he
explained his business, the whole
crowd laughed in his face and fell
all over each other SEEM who could
swear in the strongest language that
Mr.. Nelson had been among the
first to arrive at the dance and had
never left the place.
They swore that they'd swear the
same thing in court, and pictured
in picturesque language how many
shades of red Mr.. Scothern would
turn. Then they fell to swearing
strongly about the need for law-en-
forcement officers with integrity,
men who would see their job and
do it proper, instead of wasting their
time and that of others trying to
pin things on innocent men just be
cause they had a grudge against 'em.
When this subject came UP, MIR.
Scothern suddenly noticed that it was
getting real late and guessed he'd
better be going. I haven't seen Mr..
Scothern since After spell I heard
he had sold his place and then I
heard that he had retired the game

satisfyin' pursuits.
