Fests That 8sem Foolhardy Really
Are Most Necessary In the Train
Captain Edward Beck, of South
ing of Airmen.
Bend. Ind., at present in France with
Margaret Deland gives some useful
advice on bow to meet middle age in
such a manner as to insure future hap
piness. Among other things, she says:
“To hold on to our appreciation of
nature, we must spur our dull and lag
ging memory of beauty; to keep our
appreciation of human nature, we
must refuse to be laid on the shelf; we
must keep up with the procession of
human thought. Only so can we see
the sweat, the tears and smiles of our
fellow-creatures.
“These are the two Jasks of middle
age; if we perform them worthily our
souls will nover grow old. And, plain
ly, it is ‘up to us’ as these slangy
youngsters of ours express It—It Is up
to us to keep young; to mnke sure
that our Inner vision is open to beau
ty ; and to the Joy and sorrow, the
squalor and glory <rf our fellows, If
we do this, the ‘compensation’ is im-
mediate!
“So, what dlfference does it mnke If
the body Is rheumatic and near-sight-
ed—and a little deaf when it comes to
the song sparrows; what do suA
things matter. If the eyes of the soul
still see that crater mirroring the sky,
if the ears of the spirit hear the bird’s
note in dawn and dew?
“Nor doea It matter that the body
declines a game of tennis and shudders
at a plunge Into the surf when the
thermometer registers only 55 degrees
—if the body’s tenant is able to say
to the young people, ‘Go ahead! Ilavo
a good time! But take my word for
