Indoors tonight at s lamp-lit desk one can not be unaware 01' the quiet beauty which lies with- out. From the window beside ma, W" W“ "l!!! to take in the beauty that is spread tksrs. The moon shines rnellowly on the mill and snow-covered pond: it rests on the silent fields and lingers on the dark of the evergreens set on the hilltop. It touches with its silver beams the neighboring ‘ mesteads and though I may not see them. those beyond — homes wherein, I fancy mothers like Jeanie or Karolyn have just put their small weary ones to bed and now are busy with other cares, Perhaps put oft to await this leis- ure. Laying out clean garments for the morrow, tiny gowns like those belonging to grand-daughter. or laddies overalls like Jamie's or his brother's, a bit worn maybe at tile knees.

And I suppose in this countryside other farmers like ours are out by lan- tern light assuring themselves that cattle and horses and all are coni- fortable for the night/And like James they will come in presenny to review the happenings of thus and recent days. Then one by one lights will go out and a peace that blesses this night will spread over the sleeping countryside.

' Chief among the precautions against having n tragic old age is for parents to preserve their fin- ancial independence. We have b€fl\l"‘ul 1115M“ about parents who spend every cent they can rake and scrape and bor- row giving their daughters expensive debut Dari/RS. flud- Sfindlml; $11151!‘ sons to high-priced colleges, and who justify themselves in their folly by saying their children will take care of them in their old age.

GBEEDY CHILDREN

And we all know greedy sons and daughters who haven't even been willing to wait until their parents died to get their property. They sins a. sweet song to Mother and Father about how they will cherish them. and how they shall have the beslt room in the house when they come to live with them, but no sooner do they get the old people's money than Mother is turned into a cook and baby-sittor, and daughter-in-Law can't stand having Father around. Between parents who have gifts to make and those who have already given everything away there is a- great gulf fixed. . .

The next way in which parents should prepare themselves for age is by modernizing themselves. Keeping up with the times is an ab-‘ solute must if they want to escape being pests. For we are living in a different. age, with different habits and standards and tastes. and if we want our children to love us and enjoy us we halve to adopt their standards and give up our own.

And we can lay up a lot of sement for our old age if we will just pay the price, which means if we will give plenty. of parties, send flowers, write notes of congratulations or sympathy, and if we will cultivate an interesting lino of conversation, instead of telling about all our troubles. When we are young and gay and beautifuifPeuple u-lll seek us out, but when we are old we have to throw in c. bonus with our invitations.

One of the perpetual grouches of old people is that they are lonely. Their children pay them pop-in calls and act like Christian martyrs if they have to spend a whole evening listening to Grandpa reminisce. They miss the old friends to whom they could say: "Don't you remem- ber?" An old man once said to me, with tears in his eyes. that he didn't knows single soul who was young when he was young.

That can't be helped. Death takes its toil. But the loneliness of the old can be lessened if they will keep adding new friends to their list. “If, as wise Ben Franklin said, they will keep their friendships in rapa .
