LITTLE TALKS BY
- BE A TRICE FAIRFAX
They have told you that forty is
a "dangerous age.' But there are
more dangers tjian one that beset the
belated love affairs is not the chief,
woman of forty. A susceptibility to
nor, indeed, the worst of them.
I'm not thinking of the woman
who has a profession and'is ab
sorbed in it. She can take good
care of herself. And I haven't in
mind the woman vrho married late
and whose children are still young
and clamorous. It's the normal, av
erage woman .for whom forty is in
so many senses a dangerous age—
the woman who married happily at
twenty and whose children are in
college or engaged, or newly mar
rfed, and whose contented and pros
perous husband is deeply absorbed
in whatever it mav happen to be
that pays the family bills.
Now, It is very rarely that women
of this sort see their own situation.
They aren't eagerly concerned about
making the right decision as they
were a score of years earlier. They
feel that they have made their de
cisions and arranged their lives,
and they are sure they have done
it remarkably well.
T{iey know that life has gone
smoothly and that their husbands
are devoted and their children
promising and their households
competently conducted, and they
thinlc they have done their part.
They are more than willing, just
complacently, to go to seed.
And at forty!
Or. perhaps, it's forty-five, which
is just as bad.
For, if a woman slumps in this
fashion at forty, she is not likely to

be in the least interesting when she
Is sixty, and there is no chance
whatever of her being active, bril
liant and beloved at eighty, as the
Julia Ward Howes of this world
succeed in being.
It's my own notion that there is
no period of life, even the great
grandmotherly, when a healthy
woman is justified in sitting com
fortably down in the big rocking
chair and thinking of herself as a
"has-been."
Two Opjiosed Type's
And I'm quite unable to see why
any woman in the prime of life
should be willing to range herself
with the class that is going to seed
instead of with those to whom life
is still a reality. It's so easy to tell
at a glance which type a woman be
longs to. If her walk and the way
she wears her clothes "didn't betray
her, there's an unmistakable some
thing in the look of her eyes that
will tell you whether she is an in
dividual person with a life of her
own or merely the resigned and de
caying relative of an obstreperous
younger generation.
And no one in search of compan
ionship or friendship or help of any
sort would hesitate long, I imagine,
as to which sort of woman to ap
proach.
But there are middle-aged women
too vital and energetic,to accept the
ignominious fate of passive decay
and too lacking in wisdom to pro
vide themselves with a suitable out
let for their energy. It is women
of this sort who unintentionally
cause a vast deal of unhapplness.
Any human being with strength.
resource and administrative capacl-i
tv is a source of positive danger |
unless he or she has made a con-1
neetion with something to which ]
these talents can be applied.
Professional Motlier-in-Law
The ov.er-adniinistrative woman
whose children have outgrown the
j home and who has herself no leglti
. mate outside interests can, as we
j all know, destroy her husband's do
j mestic peace, cause the washer
j woman to wish she had never been
born and make or the suffering
grocer's boy a woman hater. Or. if
! her children have married, she can
! begin the baleful career of a pro
; fessional mother-in-law.
j And of all dangers that menace
the woman of forty 1 wonder if
j this isn't the most serious?
Inasmuch as of all lawful ways
of making a nyisance of oneself,
this wears the most disarming
cloak of unselfishness and virtue.
We all know what a sense of re
; lief we feel when a charming girl
j in whom we are interested tells
us that the man she is to marry
has been an orphan since child
hood, poor boy, or that his entire
family lives in California and has
I never been known to take jour
i neys. And this is because so many
j wonien cannot be trusted not to
! abuse the privilege of being a
mother-in-law.
The woman in the forties is rest
ed from the efforts of her first ten
years of married life. More or less
consciously she is yearning for
something to do. In all matters of
baby-raising and housekeeping she
regards herself as an expert. And
nothing could make her see that in
coming into her son's home and
j personally tackling its problems she
| isn't doing the young wife a kind
! ness.
Perhaps she does not wholly base
| her interference on the ground of
| her greater age and experience.
1 Perhaps she is a mother who loves
her son too well, loves him, I meart,
in a jealous, possessive way, "and
insists on acting as though she
were still the guardian of her boy's
comfort and happiness and the dis
tracted wife an unsuccessful pro
bationer.
A miserable chapter is beginning
in a young man's life when ha dis
covers that his wife and mother
arq tearfully at war over the holes
in his socks or the way he likes to
have the bread baked. And it's an
unhappiness that could be totally
avoided if mothers-in-law would
only learn to keep their hands off.
The harm that a mother may do
by interfering in her daughter's
married life Is perhaps less obvious,
but it is just as real. Here there
is less cash of domestic standards,
because the mother and daughter
are in this respect already adjusted.
But the. professional mother-in-law
is willing to tamper with more deli
cate matters than cookery and
washday. She doesn't hesitate to
tell her daughter how to "manage"
her husband.
Husbaml "Managing'
Hasn't she herself successfully
"managed" a man for a quarter of
a century and doesn't she know?
And wouldn't it be disrespectful on
her daughter's part uot to heed
her advice? But as soon as this
outside influence makes itself felt
in the life of the yqung lovers, mis
understandings and quarrels follow.
I wish that such mothers-in-law
were ever repentant for the misery
they cause. But they are so thor
oughly in love with their own wis
dom and authority that they do not
feel the slightest twinge of remorse.
All of which is merely a preface
to my appeal to middle-aged wo
men to find an occupation for them
selves. Something, if possible, out
side their own homes. SometliJng
that they can take seriously and
care deeply about and to which
they can usefully apply that wis-
dom and energy and experience of
theirs. Something to make the
world cheerfuller and themselves
happier; something to keep them
young and lovable and alive.
Fortunately, there are at this
moment many more outlets for a
mature woman's energy than there
ever were before. Can it he that
you, you women of forty, do not j
know of any? How about school!
lunches, and baby welfare stations, j
and Montessorl classes? How about j
community kitchens and a district;
nurse service and proper play-1
grounds and the public health gen- l
erally?
And suffrage isn't won yet, ex-|
cept in spots.
You see, there isn't a shred of;
xcuse for you!

SCHOOL BUILDING
PROGRAM WILL
BE COMPLETED
Reports Awaited From Ex
perts Before Final Step
Is Taken
As soon as reports are received
from Dr. J. H. VanSlckle, of Spring
field, Mass., and Dr. Henry Snyder,
Jersey City, N. J., the two experts
who made surveys of the city high
school situation during the summer so
that they could amend former rec
ommendations, the School Board will
take action to out the building
project provided for when a loan,of
$1,250,000 was authorized..
This statement was made to-day
by President Robert A. Enders in re
ply to iquirlcs about plans of the
directorate to go on with the build
ing program. During the summer
Drs. VanSiekle and Snyder were
called to the city again. Both had
made a complete study of school con
ditions here and had made reports of
their surveys. When they came here
again they were asked to make a
report on the situation as it is at
present. This should be received
soon officials said, and as soon as pos
slble after it is presented to the
board action will be taken.
Only two of the five building oper
ations originally planned have been
started because of the war. These
are the new Edison Junior High
school at Nineteenth and Chestnut
streets, and the big addition to tho
Camp Curtln building, Sixth and
Woodbine streets. The other pro
jects were remod%Mng of the Central
High school, erection of an addition
to Technical High school and erec-
lion of a now high school for girls. It
Is not known whether any of these
proposed developments will not be
advocated In the report which Is to
be made by the experts, as they did
not express any opinions on tho pres
ent sttuutlon or the possihle nedds of
the city in the future.
The city School Board will hold a
reorganization meeting next Monday
afternoon when a president and vice
president will be elected. It was said
in official circles that President hin
ders will likely be unopposed should
he bo nominated to succeed himself.
