WHY GROW OLD?
Here's Fresh Approach
To an Old Problem

laughter to the poor old souls
who perhaps haven't had as
much JOY in living"
Rare Combination
Mary Beach Walsworth Of
California seems to have that
rare combination of lack of
age consciousness coupled with
an intelligent realism about it.
In other words she has not
been inhibited in doing what
she found interesting to do
because she was a certain age.
On the other hand, she was
faced with a rather poor con-
stitution and she knew and
admitted that she would have
to strengthen her body-"a
miserable little body. always
needing spare parts and tin
kering here and there"
She intelligently turned her
houswork and gardening into
fine physical exercise. She
learned to swim at an age
when most women stay out of
the water even if they know
how to swim. She took dane
ing lessons with a high school
class! She learned to play a
violin when she was an adult.
She also has her quiet time
each day when she talks to
God, just before going to sleep
at night, because she will not
feel hurried then.

To get the maximum wear out
of a fur jacket or coat right
now think about having it
made into stylish little wrap.
It'll prove perfect for the
warm weather ahead when the
evenings get chilly even though
the day is hot.
There are some twenty cape
or stole styles from which to
choose. The new shoulder wrap
version that circles the shoul-
ders and buttons in the front
is one. The long straight stole.
whose beauty in any type of
fur is picked up by the giant

another. A third attractive
style is a pelerine-type cape

it deserves to have you add a
few more dollars to the initial
outlay to bring it up to date.
There's a lot of life in the
old tired wrap if you'll give it
an assist. Your wardrobe gets
extended, your thrifty streak
comes out, and you've begun
to realize that fashion can
also mean taking care of the
things you have as well as
buying new things.
Another tip! Lose a couple
OF glittering stones from a
pet pair of earrings? Don't
toss them out and thereby lose
your investment completely.
Just re-invest a few more pen
nies and get the fake rubies,
