Tears Fly By Without Fatal
Footprints
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
"How old are you?" might have
been the titlt of an amusing comedy,
enacted at the special congressional
election in New York when women
voted. '
This inquiry was put to a tall, slim,
boyish looking womanone of the
keen, live-wire type. Without a mo
ment' hesitation she answered:
"Forty-nine."
She was informed this was no oc
casion ior jocularity, and serious con
sequence might ensue if she per
sisted in merry-making. The woman
with an air of "I expected this," open
cd her handbag and produced a mar
riage license, setting forth that she
had been married 28 years, and that
she was 21 years at the time of
the ceremony.
The men looked foolish, and the
slender one,, with an air. of having
insured herself against masculine
stupidity, went on with her business
of citizenship and departed.
Another woman with a triple
chin, shortness of breath, and a
general air of limpness, who had
got wind of the comedy nearly con
tracted apoplexy in running down
the girlish forty-niner. "How do you
do it?" she gasped.
And the woman who had held the
clock back 20 yean, answered briefly:
"Interest and fresh air."
And the greatest of these is inter
est Some vital interest as a whet
stone for every faculty and the years
fly by without leaving their fatal foot
. prints.
A Group of Young-Old People.
' Clemenceau, the French premier, is
76 years old; Thomas Edison is 71
rears, and he thinks nothing of work
ing 48 hours on a stretch; Anna
Shaw is also 71 years old, and she
often sits up in a train all night, and
makes three or four speeches the fol
lowing dy. If you've ever heard the
magic of her eloquence, it is not
necessary to say hdw young she is.
Amelia Barr, at 87 years, is still writ
ing books that sell up into the
:.. thousands.
; These people haven't time to get
old; they are too busy thinking and
working at important things they
.let the years take care of themselves.
- If you would be young and haven't
vital and consuming interest, "it's
Wp to you" to create one. The war,
with its countless opportunities for
work, has been a godsend to the

If One Keeps Busy
can't be cleaned on Wednesday, if
that happens to be silver-cleaning
day. It the seamstress is late or un
able to come, it is a tragedy. If the
department store has no more ma
genta satin of the particular shade
she has decided on for a belt, it is a
world calamity.
As Old as "She."
In her soul that woman is as old
as Rider Haggard's "She." Never
an interest in lite above some foolish
material thing, that she'd be better
off without. Sofa pillows, lamp
shades, a bargain something not
really needed ice cream soda, cards,
bridge movies and a petty rivalry in
getting ahead of some other woman.
She never thinks; her brain is the
organ above which she pins her hat.
The mummified woman seldom
cares about children if she did
they would keep away that slow,
drying-up process. Usually she lives
in a flat which reduces her housework
to a minimum.
And her family consists of a couple
of plants, a victrola and a canary;
sometimes the canary is varied by a
dog. More often than not there is a
mummified husband in the back
ground, and he, too. has his dry-as-dust
little interests.
Now the great world war has laid
its grip on that family and shaken
them out of that slow process of
evaporation that was dessicating them
body and soul. It has given her
something to do, something to think
about besides the iniquities of the
janitor and the great question of does
the laundress make off with the hand
kerchiefs? If she goes out to do Red Cross
work it brings her in contact with
other women who help to bring
something into her life. But when a
woman of this type decides to take a
"job" it makes her over.
A Startling Change.
I know several such women and
the change in them is startling. One
in particular who has taken a place
with the food administration, where
she gets a salary of $85 a month, and
with it a new lease of life.
She was the most mummified per
son I have ever known. She kept
house neatly and well, but there was
not enough to keep her busy more
than a few hours, the rest of the time
she spent in drying up.
She and her husband had a simple
breakfast at 8, and he departed not
to return till 5:30 o'clock. Then they
sat down to a silent dinner, not be
cause they were "mad," but because
there was nothing to talk about. She
"did" the dishes and he smoked, and
their day was done.
Her husband was fond of her in

his dull, dry way. He accepted her
as part of the flat furniture. In the
scheme of things she occupied a place
higher than the dining room tabte
that held the meats, or the steam
heat pipes that kept the place warm,
because she saw to and administered
things,
They might have gone on like this
for years, but one day she heard a
patriotic speech that stirred her as
nothing had stirred her for years,
and she went out and got that govern
ment job.
This gave her husband a terrific
"jolt." The little, dull wife had her
place in the world, the United States
government had decided she was
worth $85 a month.
Nettie's Value to the Country.
It was incredible, but Nettie was
worth something besides going to
market, cooking the dinner and mak
ing the stew, now that the price of
steak had gone up so high. He pol
ished his glasses and began to regard
her with fresh eyes. She was only 36,
after all and not bad looking. So
he began walking to her office with
her In the morning, and sometimes
bringing home a bunch of violets at
night
The maid they have in to cook the
dinner is not as good a cook as Net
tiebut what's the difference? That
particular husband has begun to show
some of the attentions of their court
ing days he's not so sure of Nettie
as he was.
