She was back in New York after an absence of two years. Nearly every Spring since her m ar riage. she had made the trip, and had always stopped off for a brief visit in her old college town. This time she was planning to follow the same course, but with what a differ ence! One of her old school friends had written her last year that Lee Towne had returned to their alma mater to direct the research work there. So Lee was back and Carolyn tion a smiling little nod of approval. The smile was justified. Her m ir rored image showed a lovely young woman of thirty-two, who looked hardly more than twenty-five—vivid, well dressed, confident. She was more charming, more desirable than the pretty young Carolyn of eleven years before when she finished col j lege. That was the Carolyn who, all her senior year at college, had to keep reminding herself that this was earth she lived on, and not really heaven, as it seemed, because of Lee. Lee, who was tall and lean, w ith intent blue eyes, and delight fully unruly hair. Lee, who loved her and treasured the secret of their engagement. Lee, who was so sweet about wanting to present her to the fam ily as a beautiful surprise after Commencement. Not even his adored older brother had been let in on the secret. Commencement time was to be the clim ax of everything that seemed im portant to her. Then, with Commencement still three weeks away, it happened. Just after Lee passed the final examina tions for his doctor’s degree, he was offered an extraordinary chance to do the very research W'ork that he most wanted—a unique chance for “ an unmarried man, prepared to de- ’ vote at least five years to the proj ect.” Carolyn remembered how honor able Lee had been in breaking the news to her. He m ight have let their engagement continue, he told her; he might have kept on seeing her, deceiving her about their prospects for marriage, putting it off, or Carolyn had to keep reminding promising to m arry her at the end on, not really heaven. of the five years. But he did not con sider that the right thing to do. No, was going to see him. Accidentally, it was only the part of a gentleman of course.

What of the distin guished gray at the temples, the im pressive look of the scientist that she had pictured! The men at the next table were noticing her concentrated gaze; she finally forced herself to look away. The next minute, with no more poise than a school girl, she jumped up and hurried away into the next wing of the building to the telegraph blanks. “ Leaving for home tonight instead of next week,” she began to write. There was something reassuring about the thought of Jeff’s bulk; she was glad that her husband was such a substantial person in every way. Such nice, thick hair, too, and straight shoulders. She had never been as sweet to him as he de served, but she would make it up from now on. Why, he was the finest person that she had ever known!

Indeed, the fu ll fruition of a personality seldom comes much before middle-age or older, because it is a long time in building and each successive day adds a b it of charm. Women famed for their beauty are seldom the very young. Quite often as not they have passed middle-age. Frequently they w ill be what the world calls old. Consider Ninon L ’ Enclos, perhaps the most beautiful and charming woman of history. She was unheard of until she was fifty, yet at eighty she was still sought after by rich and fashionable gentlemen, who could have taken their pick of the court beauties. It wasn't her youth that gave L ’ Enclos charm. It was her ageless personality. But perhaps the crowning achieve ment of personality in a woman is the career of Elizabeth Browning, wife of the English poet. Elizabeth was an invalid from childhood, bed-ridden, but illness couldn’t quench her spirit nor rob her of her beauty, and the long hours she spent in solitude had en abled her to develop something into her personality that made her ir resistibly beautiful. Then came young Robert Brown ing, six years her junior, to fall madly in love with her, and she with him. She was bed-ridden, mind you, but she arose from her sick bed and they eloped into the night ' and were married. For sixteen years they passed a life of unbelievable happiness together. And when she died, at the age of 56, with her head on her husband’s arm, he wrote the next day that her face was the face of a young girl. Step by step through the quiet years personality develops. And it is never too late to start or to cre ate one out of what you have, out of what you are. That is the fascinat ing thing. 2 0 0 Other Big Prizes!
