She considered this for a moment, and then with a leaning towards James’ more practical teachings “but kisses won‘t buy anything" she said "no candy or dolls... or anything!" "You never know" we returned “in any event, that's what 1 should send to you!" We had been chatting about Judy's baby. planning for a gift of a toy or other Christmas sending to the wee bright-eyed lad whose picture came this mornintg-—Judy‘s own son to love and care for, flesh of her flesh, winsome and exceedingly precious. Evidently there are the other small ones also well esteemed by their ain folk. James has just re- turned through a night that has turned frosty and cold, after to- day's showers and dampness to tell of those at Rob's. whither he had gone riding the Nell-mare in the twilight of dusk. With a nice memory of it, he put the two laddies there to bed, fresh-clad and bathed "lust shining!" he tells it. Cots are empty now, their former occupants graduated to a big bed, where after prayers, Jamie's arm steals about his bro- ther and very soon~—“ln no time at all!"

But, alas, the great majority of girls have no Fairy Godmother, or else the stingy old jade holds out on them, and bestows upon them neither a rich father nor naturally wavy hair nor docs she endow them with any allure for men. So to a vast number of women girlhood is not a time of joy and song and dancing feet. It is a period of frustrated hopes and bit- ter mortiflcations and anxiety and anxious striving and work and worry. There are girls who sit. at home with their parents night after night, eating their hearts out in bitter despair because they never have a date and lack that intangible something that. makes boys single them out for attention. And almost every girl goes to a party with hel- heart fainting within her and her feet turned to ice, wondering it’ she will be cut in upon, or if her partner will be stuck and have to drag ‘her around the entire evening. I would not slly'that girlhood is the happiest time of the average woman's life, and assuredly age, the other extreme, is not, although b many women it is a time of great placid enjoyment. But this is a negative happiness in which one has no disappointments because one has no hopes; in which one is calm and peaceful because one is so near the and of everything that nothing matters. So far as it can be settled chronologically, I should say that the happiest time of life to most women is the period between 30 and 42 or 43. The unhappiest period between 43 and 50. And the second happiest period from 50 odd to 70. HAD FOUND IIIBIIZLI By the time a woman is 30 she has usually found herself. Sh: is either married or else she has established herself in some business or profession and she is at peace with herself and the world. Her hands are full of work. Her mind occupied with a thousand inter- ests and plans. She is on her tiptoes, alert, alive, her days never half long enough to do all the interesting and exciting things she wants to o. If she has children, she has the joy of having little arms around her neck and the never-ending happiness of knowing that she is neces- sary to them, and that there is no one in the world that they love u they do Mother. Her husband is still a sweetheart and too much oc- cupied and too hard worked getting established in his business and supporting a growing family to have time or inclination to phllsnder. So these busy, bustling, hard-worked years are happy years to moat women. Then cornea the stormy 40's in which the children have grown up and 10ft the homo nest and when Mother's house and hands are empty. Worse still, husband has arrived at the age of indiscretion when he begins to think that his wife is too old for him. There is no blttcrer period of life for a woman than that. in which she has to watch her weight with one eyp and her husband with the other, and try to keep a man who has gone suddenly cuckoo from committing a folly that will wreck their whole future. Hut after 55 a woman passes into a period of peace that passes all understanding. She is still young enough and strong enough to do anything she wants to do, and she has the time for enjoyment, for travel and reading and play that she never had before. Men are no longer a disturbing factor in her life, and her husband is either so bound to her that she couldn't lose him or she has lost him so long ago that she has almost forgotten about it.
