GROWING OLD.
A lady whose wisdom, if not her years, may be described as mature, made the following remarks on the art of growing old gracefully :—" It is a woman's own fault if, with advancing years, she allows herself to be neglected and pushed aside by youthful and inexperienced members "of her sex. If she has occupied her time well, and kept abreast with the age, she will be sought after, and her voice listened to with attention in all active and advanced circles. There is no law relegating a woman to the background when she is no longer youthful. A woman may become more attractive as the years go ■ on, even the plainest acquiring beauty as the result of pure life. The presence of ' such women is a blessing to all, and the attainment of the proud positions they occupy is within the reach of all women—beautiful or the reverse —who set themselves to grow in mind and spirit." ..'■■'■■•
