DON'T GROW OLD.

" Your evening off" is what Rupert Hughes calls old age—the time when one is about 80 or 90. About half- way there you just begin to get a right perspective on values as to, people and what is worth going after. It is just time for you to have some of the fun you meant to have—to do the things you meant to do and didn't. Some people are dragged kicking and screaming into middle age. The fact that you are alive and intelligent enough to protest at middle age proves that if you want to you can defeat it. Don't waste your energy and vitality. Go intelligently to work at yourself. Years have very little to do with age. Waste, worry, petty fussings and regrets have. Put away that patient, resigned, seriousminded dress. Buy a never-pretending to fit-snugly, a jolly, spontaneous, glad-lo-be-alive-frock—no middle age- about it. Buy a hat that doesn't care how many years you have lived—a friendly hat with no age at all. Give your hair a helping hand. Put cold cream on your face at night, give yourself a beauty treatment. Use becoming powder and put 'it on properly. Don't give up and be-just middle-aged. Don't be a sex. Be a personality. You now have something to give. Wade in! Too old! Remember that you are hot too old for anything on earth except, perhaps, bright pink!
