It is indeed a great pity that so many women give up their studies and outside interests the moâ€" _ In â€" those days of daborâ€"saving houses a queâ€"tion which sometl:mes rises in one‘s mind is: "Are many women taking advantage of their leisure time to make sort sort of pre. paration for the coming years, or is the increased leisure only regardeqa as an increased opportunity for en joyment?" It is indeed a great pity that so mADY women swiva sn sh.i | be that 2s it may, there secems something to be said for this division C of the years of, at any rate, a mar. 6 ried woman‘s life. It would natura‘lâ€" f ly not apply to the woman who 1e. |mains single and earnas sler own liv. |ing in a trade or profeszsion. Her work would be like that of a man which lasts to the end of lite and does not stop short at m‘iddleâ€"age, In spite of much that has been said to the contrary, the ordinary wo. man‘s first care will always be her home, and her â€" chiet responsibil:ty and joy the bringing up of her child. ren, But because this is only a partâ€" time job she must not neg‘ect to take time to develop her own talents and to make opportunities for doing otier things besides purely dometic mat. ters; for she will meed those ro. sources to fa® back upon when those difficult days come when the child. ren no longer need her and she has her life on her hands. There is an old saying (which strangely enough comes from the East) that a woman should give up the first 25 years of her life to er parents and home, the second 2 years to her husband and children but the third 25 should belong en tire‘y to herself. It seems on the face of it as if only the dregs of lite would be leit to the wonan who faithfully carried out this idea, and earlier five years to the la t part of this division; but the same sage goes on to say that nearly all the best work done by a man or a woman is done during the latter pertion ot their lives. He holds that no one should presume to teach or write who has not had some experience oft life to go upon, and declares that the world is more interested to hear {%» ripe widom of middle.age thsn to listen to the ignorant utteramces of inexperienced youth. «‘Sailing galiantly" is a lovely phrase. It ca‘ls up in the mind a picture of a fine ship which for long has been hugging the shore, dallying in the pleasant creeks and water. ways of youth; but which now has to start off on her trave‘s, to clear her decks for action, to make everything shipâ€"shape for an adventurous voyâ€" age. She has collected a cargo ot happy memories, she is strong and seaworthy, and, instead of relusing to face up to the voyage, she sets forth gallantly, anxious to prove her worth on the high seas of life. | For, with its storms and its difficu:tics, the period of middleâ€"age can indeed be much more adventurous than the sheliered years of youth, and there is a bracing note about this simile which sounds cheerily in the ears of the brave. A popular authoress once dedicated a very succe siul novel to her mo. ther in the following words: â€" To my Mother, â€" saiiing so gallantly through the adventurous years of middleâ€"age," writes Ida Rowe. . The phrase sticks in the memory as un. rsual and interesting, for somohow the very last thing one associates with middleâ€"age is adventure. Far from sailing gallantly through it, many women cling so tightly on to the skirts of vanishing youth that old ago has to be we‘l on itsâ€"way towards thom before they are reluctantiy forced to relinquish their hold and sadly acquiesce to the inevitable, BE RESOURCEPD;, + 100lish it is to drop all in. xcept the house and chila. , in the very nature ot he house and children win middle age to take up any. poudk O d _ Di CARGO OF HAPPY MEMORIES the whole of one‘s time Jon, This is not to say man will have nothing to as a dusband end many society to 1WAH, buat that " Om se _ will certa(niyv-t‘vo l1 the void the children That is the time _ when VELOPINXG TALENTS at a lcose end a commonplace need those ro upon when thos when the child her and she has [ a woman Is, and ai. of vari. yet how worth Her m aik and 28 @, said woOâ€" her NiA & 00 o.
