How Old Is "Too Old"?
Dear Mrs. Seifert'
My mother-in-law lives with
us. She's 60 years old, and she
depends on us for all her enter
tainment. We urge her to join a
club, find a hobby, and try to
make friends, but she says she's
too old. I know lots of women
older, than Mother M. who are
working at full time jobs, but
Mother H. won't even try any
thing new. How old is "too old"?
An Anxious Daughter-in-law.
"Old" is a relative term. Some
people are old at 20, while oth
ers are young at 80. Being "too
old" is a matter primarily of the
mind although emotional aging
can spread rapidly to the body.
Some bodies, it is true, are more
fragile, more delicately built
than others. Some glandular set
ups are swifter to reach an im
balance than others. But quite

frequently these effects of aging
are preceded by an emotional
'let-down," a lack of interest in
people, a loss of hope and desire
for growth.
To a certain extent, then.
aging can be delayed by effort.
An active interest in others is
powerful medicine, for both
mind and body. A hobby, a club,
a study group, a charity, a job
au these keep a person young,
no matter how many candles
burn on the birthday cake.
An in-law may be a particular
ly apt victim of aging. In a
strange home, without responsi
bilities or duties, she (or he)
may feel the insecurity of being
an outsider. Unwanted and lone
ly, she may feel sorry for her
self, perhaps even antagnostic to
others, trading on her small ail
ments for sympathy until hypo
condria becomes reality. With
drawn, she may feel her world
becoming smaller, until she is
genuinely afraid of trying new
activities or making new friends.
When this happens, an individ
ual is old.
Senior citizens today have
unique opportunities to remain
young. More and more employ
ers realize the wisdom of hiring
mature workers. Clubs and adult
education activities welcome
them. Churches, charities, com
munity projects bid for their
participation. No one today, with
a little wise effort, need ever be
too old."

Woman Designs
Men's Clothing
New York (IT) Many Ameri
can men who buy medium
priced ties, handkerchiefs, shirts
and socks may be surprised to
learn that one of the experts
catering to their pattern pref
erences is a woman.
To attractive, 32-yearold Cris
Darlington, one of the few wom
en designers in what is largely
a man's field, knowing what
men like is no problem. Males
were plentiful in her early home
life, she was surrounded by them
in two years of. pre-med school
and during two years in the
Navy engineering-drafting de
partment, she married and most
of the two dozen employes at
her Marlin Studios are men.
Although she designs drape
ries, women's scarves and
blouses and other items, her
preference is for working with
the materials used in men's
wear.
"Men like accessories a lot
gaudier than women give them
credit for," she said, "and it's
the women who are the conser
vatives, possibly because they
don't want the men to outshine
them in color and dressing
verve."
Men like gold initials on their
handkerchiefs and hankies,
socks and ties with matching de
signs, she added. It surprises her
that men have become practical
and wise about ties.
'I used to do a lot of work on
ties that sold for $7.50 each in
the stores, ie explained. "Now
the same stores buy more ties
from me but the sales are in fab
rics that are made up into ties
selling at $2 to $5. Men have de
cided that it is better for their
wardrobes to have several less
costly ties than to have only one
or two expensive ones."
