Actually it is nothing more or less than that. strange hiatus in living which has become known as ‘‘middle- age’. One wag defined it as ‘that six months or so between graduation and retirement’ and that really tells its own story. Because the middle age is something more than just-a period of* time between youth and old age; it

we barely realize it is upon us when we discover to our horror that we have passed it. :_The mystery is where the years. went. It reminds us of a couple of lines from a poem ‘On Divorce’

Where the husband left -alone warns his former wife of possible danger and tells her:to make the most of. the chances left.since “This is your time ' «but time so short can be”. How true. 2

Middle age has a nasty habit of creeping up on people and then leav- ing the scene abruptly as old age gpmes. rushing on stage. It doés not pven linger- long enough to regard it ps just a state ‘of mind; instead it is
