the A A TWELVE POUGHKEEPSIE NEW YORKER THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 19451 Be Charming, Act Your Age By Dorothy Dix Ponce De Leon is not the only timist who has ever attempted to find the Fountain of Perpetual Youth. When we get along to where we are up to our knees in middle age, as Barrie said of one of his heroines, we all join in the 'search. We begin to worry about our arterles, and count our calories, and go on diets, and suffer ourselves to be pummeled and mauled and boiled, and we spare neither pain nor money in the effort to stay the hand of Time and retain our boyish and girlish figures. But, alas, it is all love's labor lost. The hands of the clock never turn back or stay still.

Youth is never buy it put up in Jars and bottles. found in a beauty shop. Nor can you The synthetic roses painted on withered old cheek befool nobody. sheep Spring. Jamb whet no appetites, and when ma dikes herself out in granddaughter's clothes, she is figure of fun instead of a glamour girl.

Old age is still old age and, inasmuch as there is no way of avoiding it except by dying, the next best thing to do is to palliate it by giving it attractions that will keep our famIlies and our friends and even chance acquaintances from caring whether we are young or old. MAKE SELF PLEASANT Unfortunately this is a point in playing the game of life that a great many old people seem to miss. They appear to consider that age gives them the priyllege of dispensing with all the amenities of society and of making themselves just as disagreeable as they please, They use neither tact nor even common politeness in dealing with those with whom they are brought in contact. and then they beat on their and complain of how they are neglected. Yet age need be neither lonely nor dreary.

if old people would observe certain basic rules of behavior that we must all use if we wish to be popular with our tellow creatures. One is to keep themselves a as easy on the eyes as circumstances permit. They can't be living pictures, but they needn't scarecrows. They can wear suitable and becoming clothes. They can be well groomed, instead of going around sloppy dirty and giving evidence that they are allergic to bathtubs.

They can prevent themselves from becoming bores from whom people flee at sight by keeping up their interests in everything that is going on in this interesting old world of ours. They can watch their. steps, conversationally speaking, and when they catch themselves beginning to reminisce about the civil war, or to tell long-winded stories about their grandchildren, they can sign off and switch their auditors to their own theme song. For certainly no one can live 60 or 70 years without finding out that everybody wants to talk about themselves and their affairs, and nobody wants to listen to yours. Old people can keep themselves from being shelved by giving parties, little or big, as their purses afford.

When we lose our youthful charms, we have to throw in a bonus with ourselves if we want to -keep in the running, Nobody is going to break our doors down to get into our homes if we have only our society to offer them, but if they are sure of good food and drink, we have what it takes to tole them in. And by the social law of chop for a chop, we are sure to be on the invitation lists of others. Old people justify their vagaries by saying that old dogs can't learn new tricks, but they can. And if they are smart, they do. (Released by The Bell Syndicate Inc.) Mrs.

MY DAY By Eleanor Roosevelt HYDE PARK, WEDNESDAY When the children were safely in bed last night, the adults returned to my cottage to eat cold turkey which I sometimes think is better than hot. We were all weary enough to sit around the fire a afterwards in a very contemplative mood. I think everyone of us went to bed with a prayer in our, hearts that now and always we be conscious of our blessings in spite of our sorrows, Above all else, I want to feel the continuity of life, so that I will be reminded that all we do here is imbued with the spirit of those influences and associations which have gone into the building of our lives in the past. May this spirit flow through us to shape the future, and may our children and grandchildren be the kind of people who will help to build the world that all of us want here on earth.

In expressing thanks for my own Christmas cards in my column the other day, I did not mention another member of our household who certainly has a place in the hearts of all dog-lovers. Fala and his master were so much associated in people's minds that Fala still has affection and attention of a great many people. So may I extend thanks for the cards which were sent to Fala and for the gifts which came to him? I want particularly to say that I appreciate the fact that sO many people spoke of his master as well as of the little dog himself. I think Fala has had a happy day. We have acquired a playmate for him, aged about seven months, and even though Fala is more sedate than she la, he 15 still young enough to And that having a companion to run with in the snow and to chase in and out of the garden is really very exciting.

Frannie has sweet disposition and is curious about everything in the world. The two little black Scotties together in the white snow are really an engaging sight. They were the joy of the party of children who came here this afternoon. At Wiltwyck School across the River there are always a few children at Christmas-time, who are unable to go home for the holldays. This afternoon, the day after Christmas, four of the members of the staff brought over some ten or twelve of them.

Mr. Josh White and his little boy came up from New York and gave them blissful hour of song, in which they were quite ready to join.

One of my old friends, Mrs.

Mrs. Hamlin is a mine of historical information about everything concerning the Hudson river, the early Dutch settlers, this country as whole and Europe from which so much of our art and history stem.
