Many of up rmay wonder whqt it

We may try to grow old griwsfully from the physical standpoint by watching our diet, preventing constipation and ward. mg off infections. but what about mfrll-a-l ability? We know that even if brain tissue 18 removed by accident or operation, the brain will continue to serve n5 lust as well, but we do ivondrlr about our blood pressure, about hardening of the arteries.

Until recently. n has been "Wight that as the arteries grow old. lose sonle of their elastic tis- sue-thus interfering to sane ex- tent. with the blood nourishing the brain tissue-that our nlonal abil- 11y would become loss in proportion b0 the degree of the hardening of the arteries. However, pathologists, whose work is to investigate changes in the structure of the tissues. state that Ulere can be coll. slderable hardorllng n? the blood VESSGIS without any loss, or very little loss of menial ability, and there can be much loss of mental ability with but a snlall degree of‘ llﬂldfnlng of the blood vessels,

We have been taught. that we reach our highest degree of mental ability at bile age 0f 1B; that. W-hlle we may continue to have the same amount. of mental ability for nmny Will's after the n21" of l6. it than decreases. That this Ls not true 1s pointed out by psychologists who have slloivn by tests that a person is capable of learning until l~e reaches old age. ‘They point to many men and women 1n their eighties and nineties who Were as keen mentally us vihen they were many wars younger. Examples are (‘haunce_v De Pevr. Justice Holmes, Elihu Root, Connie Mack, and others.

However, there are bound to be changes in us a5 we grow older, and perhaps Wu can delay old age if we see these changes early and try to meet them 1n a philosophical way. Some of these changes are forget- ting familiar names. sleeping less, depression of spirits. irritability usually caused by mental and phy- sical tiredness, and dislike of any changes.

When I came away from Alder-lea, I gave tho small one there, then soundly l- sleop, bo James’ charge for from- thero too, Jock and Jeanie went earlier to theirs. James was lithe: hesitant about accepting the role of "sitter" because as he pointed out; "Now if she should happen in waken. Ellen and I can't pacify her. what then?" However, tired from her sleepless day, her afternoon nap interrupted by the strangeness of her mother's desertlon, her sleep ls likely to last until her parents re- turn. Then, and after "those eve- ning roots are fed to the cattle‘ James ls to join me here. Antici- pating his arrival any minute I have surveyed myself critically u: a mirror, flufflng out my hair be- comingly, tucking in any stray ends, straightened my collar and smoothed down my gown ln respect to his visit. It would never do to have James walk away along the fields, to find the woman he mar- ried wan and disheveled, Like in the Lang Sync he would naturally expect to find someone starry-eyed. and neat and with a welcoming smile!

O O O

Still there is no sound of lils footsteps. The smaller fellow here ls fast asleep. We looked ln upon him, Jamie and I. when Jamie was on his way t0 bed. His nurs- ing bottle was empty beside a cheek. “But you'd better not take it away from him" Jamie whis- pered "he might awaken and miss if; and then . ." Jamie nodded his head ominously. Jamie himself was weary tonight. After we had in- spected the Christmas hangings and curds, he suggested retiring. He has a small neat room to himself, “and lf you would just, slip 3'0"!’ “W” off" lie said "you could lle down beside me." We had much to talk over when prayers had been said. There had been a trip to their corner store; too there were incl- dents in connection with a new and recently dug pump we had to hear about as well as news about the rabbits and ducks. Jamie's ducks are being kept over Winter and an intriguing question xvhlch af- forded us much speculation was! “now where do you suppose she will lay, when the Spring tlmf comes?" Jamie and I are adding a pair of turkeys to the number of our pets, and those too came "P for discussion. "And supposing" I said recalling past extremely trag- ic experiences in this line of farm- ing "we don't raise even one small turkey in the year, we're not going to feel badly about. it, we'll still have . . An old gobbler to gob- ble and spread his tail in a circle" Jamie supplied “a gobbler and a hen." Thus it was, even loitering over a word drowstly ‘that Jamie entered lnto the lane of dreams.

Past twilight, after supper and grand-daughter was safely to bed. 1 came to Rob's. Lights were bright 1n farmhouses then though ‘J19 stars and new moon were withheld and the night was cloudy. A small North wind was on my face. but: only such a one as rings musically along the telephone wires and plays a nice comprmlonable tune in the oops of the trees. $0 still the coun- tryside was then, the road devoid of traffic. No sound but the cruncn of my footsteps in tho light snow and the flow of the mill stream In the valley below. Fields were faint- ly white on the slopes and the wayside trees weighted with their powderlng of white. "You'll ivatcii out for sllpPefy places. $11811" James had advised me before I set out. At first I remembered iris words and proceeded with caution and then so good and delightful I found my walk, I quite forgot and came on light feet. A Mutt-do: barked a greeting, ivhcn 1 left the road; lights moved about the rooms and soon after my arrival. Rab and Karolyn, hy a Whiter route along the fields were n’. to the city.

In this farmhouse and at Alder- loa for the time. the hustle and bustle of preparing for Christmas has ceased for the time though 1 am well aware of the season at. hand. There are the Christmas de- corations, as I said, to remind me, and beneath white towels on a cup- board 1n the pantry beside a new baking of broad there is a iar of mince-meat, which Karolyn must have forgotten to replace on u cel- lar shelf.
