YOUTH ON MIDDLE AGE
“ Give me back, give me back the wild freshness of morning, its smiles and its tears are worth evening’s best light,” said Tom Moore. I wonder whether more people would agree with him or with Damo Sybil Thorndike, who recently gave her vote in favour of middle age? As you grow older you enjoy life more, she thinks, because you have a better sense of values. To my mind, the groat tiling about middle ago is that you become more philosophic, although a famous novelist once said: “No woman was ever a philosopher.” You cannot lie hurt as keenly in middle age as in youth, hut there* aro some unfortunate enough to bo hurt by the fact that they arc no longer young.
