ADVENTURE LIMITED
By IDA BREED
AROLYN TAYLOR looked at
herself critica lly in the full
C
length m irror, then gave her reflec­
But today, as she looked at her
delightful self in the m irror, it was
not to dream; it was with a plan for
action. 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 sat and stared, helpless to
force her gaze away from this
changed Lee. 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!
Back at their table, the two curi­
ous young men continued to specu­
late after they had watched Carolyn
rush from the room.

Personality knows no age limits,
and a developed personality can
go on with undimmed lustre as long
as life endures. 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.
