CORNER JACKSONVILLE HI WAY AND LOZIER LANE
Mrs. A. R. - This is about
my brother, a man of 75. For
the past ten years he's led a
dignified life as a sensible
widower. Now he must have
become suddenly senile or be
In his second childhood, be
cause he's behaving like a
clown.
He goes around with a 25-
year-old girl who's already
had him dancing at one of
those public ballrooms. Imag
ine the embarrassment of my
children and grandchildren to
have one of their friends meet
Sol there. Now he talks of
going Ice-skating with this
athlete. Believe me, there's
no fool like an old fool be
cause she Isn't even pretty.
And what does he think she
sees in him? It can't be his
baby blue eyes that hanut
her. She probably sees only
an old codger with money to
spend on her If she kids him
long long enough.
Mr. 3. C. - It's my life and
frankly I'm out to make the
most of what's left of it. This
young lady has made me sud
denly realize that I'm not on
the shelf yet. I don't always
have to sit on the sidelines
and look at the "young peo
ple" having fun. I'm flattered
that my rlew friend considers
me good company and helps
me participate in activities
she enjoys herself.
As for my sister and her
family, what did they ever do
to lift the heaviness In my
heart all these years? I was
Just "Old Uncle Sol" to them.
I began to believe I'd never
be anything else until I no
ticed this young girl in the
park. Every day she takes a
hike around the lake. When I
saw that her pace was the
same as mine, I asked whether
she'd mind It I hiked along
with her. She agreed. Since
then we ve been discovering
new joys together every day.
.
Tha Council) There's life in
the old boy yet, Mrs. R., let
the chips - and the chippies -
fall where they may. Back in
Biblical days, according to
the First Book of Kings that
was one of the approved tests
of vitality - bringing on your
damsels and watching what
happened to the "old and
tricken in years. When King
David, for example, failed to
perk up at the sight of Abl-
shag, the beautiful Shunamlte,
his followers knew it was
time to name a new king and
prepare for the early passing
of this moribund one.
The combo of the septua
genarian and the chorine has
provided jokes, gossip, and
raised eyebrows from time Im
memorial. Usually the as
sumption is that he's an old
fool and she's a conniving
tootsle. But once In a while
more wholesome interpreta
tions of this attraction are
ventured. For the girl it's
called a "father complex" or.
t the other end, a "maternal
urge." When marriage ensues,
she may praise his mellow
ness, tolerance, patience -qualities
which she couldn't
find In men her own age.
But marriage hasn't become
an issue here. (If it should,
we'd say No, as a general
comment. The age disparity Is
too great.) This is a go-together
for a well - preserved,
healthy senior citizen and a
young female who is consider
ate enough to slow up and
let him fall In line without
being obvious about it. What
a zoom for his ego.
Let them be, Mrs. R. Even
if there's nothing more In it
for the girl than free tickets
to fascinating places, she's
offering your brother a fling
he's ripe for. But there's
probably more In it for her.
Mr. C. has no illusions. He may
well be the means whereby
she meets the husband she'll
settle down with. At one of
the centers Mr. C. escorts her
to, she can meet a poor young
clerk - or a rich one - and the
current jaunts will "pay off"
in extra measure.
As for Mr. C, his zest re
minds us of the man whose
doctor told him to quit tennis
when he reached his 70s. "I
did." he said. "But I could
hardly wait for my 80s to play
again."
