Quarrels of Aged Attest Grip on Life

Content Avoided as Akin to Death, Common Enemy of All. BY EVELYN SEELEY Tlmn oral Wntrr \EW YORK. Nov. B— Some day you will be peaceful and content—you will not quarrel any more with your wives or husbands or sweethearts; your heart will no longer ache. As nearly as I can figure. that time will be between the ages of 99\ t and 100—or perhaps alter you are dead. Do not look forward to old age, for age Is no talisman to emotional rontent. I have been hearing of jome men and women—all past 70— in an old persons’ home for the aged. In their quarrels and reconciliations they could keep six lovelorn editors busy. They had a Halloween party the other night. They wore comic headdresses. They played games and drank cider and ate' doughnuts. They were very merry, and the party was about to wind up a great success—much to the relief of the arrangements committee—wher th n Joneses burst into vituperation. Bill Jones, 36, accused Mary, his 85-year-old wife, of flirting with Harry, a young fellow of 70. Enjoyed Spats at Bfi Bill had been sulking In a comer chair for an hour, while Mary went her way. When it came time to go home he refused to escort her to their rooms. She challenged him and he opened ] up as to what he thought of her and | her sex. w ith all the practice of my I years of quarreling. Right out iu ' the hearing of the whole party he i called her a hussy. Young Harry. 70. toddled from one foot to the other in his embarrass- j ment. In a quavering voice h° tried to defend Mary. It was his fault, he srid magnanimously. And Bill all 1 but socked him in the false teeth. Mary rose to the occasion at*this j point.. She knew* that Bill's pique j began when he saw Harry ducking for apples with the limberness of a boy. while Bill, with his rheumatic joints, roulrin t bend down to within three feet of the ducking tub. The next day Bill and Mary w*pre all made up and radiant, and the whole dinner table elowed in reflected happiness. So life goes In this old people's home, where they act as badlv as the young. A Henry street nurse used to tell me about her troubles patching up the rows of the O'Briens of Hell's Kitchen. Molly and Pete O'Brien were both 80; had married seventy years ago in Ireland. They lived in a one-room tenement four flights up. Last Hold on Youth Sometimes the nurse would climb the tenement stairs to find Pete sitting there forlorn and hungry. Molly had walked out on him. Then the nurse would go in search of Molly and find her. like as not. sitting disconsolately on a park bench, having forgotten what had made her so angry that she left Pete. Molly never had "mad money” to go far. The O'Briens were on relief. She always came shamefacedly

home. “Just flighty, that’s all," Pete would apologize to the nurse. But the nurse worried about Molly. Molly was too frail to have tantrums. Once, as she had feared, Molly walked off in a huff, out into a cold evening, and came home with pneumonia. And now poor Pete has nobody to quarrel with, nobody :o dignify his presence by storming out on him. I think old couples cling to trelo quarreling and their reconciliations as a last grasp on youth. It is fine to have enough vigor to feel the heat of fury and the warmth of reunion. Agreeing with each other consistently would mean those qualities of age—tolerance and resignation and indifference. There is only one issue, I am told,

on which the old persons of the home agree and on which they keep silent. That is the approach of death. They mask their awareness in heavy scorn. They quarrel and conciliate, and it means t' nre alive. If the old persons gr ng too peacefully it might mr ip one was giving to their muti iemy—death

A Woman's Viewpoint

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON all the girls I talk with are bent upon careers. Occasionally you’ll find one who announces quite frankly she intends to marry, if possible, but this seems to be an admission which is regarded with suspicion since only the most forthright individuals dare to make it. Now, careers are indeed splendid things, once you’ve got one. But they always have to be paid for, too, and the price they exact is high. First of all, long years of study and apprenticeship are required to make oneself a topnotcher. Next comes the perpetual effort that must be maintained to keep up the pace and meet competition. Last, you can be almost sure, if you live long enough, that you’ll be retired to a lonely old age in the end. Such are the facts. They must be faced. I doubt whether any career, successful though it may be, gives sufficient return for the toil, anguish and hearts blood a woman has to spend for it. Well, neither does marriage, I can hear you say, and that, too, is largely true. Marriage also can disappoint and fail us. Only this much is to be said about that. If each woman who chose wedded life would put as much effort and thought into making it a success as she is forced to use in building even a mediocre career, the odds on matrimony could be greatly increased. I believe we get in this world just about what we go after, the thrush his song, the banker his money-bags. So if your head is set on becoming a crackerjack stenographer, that's what you probably will be. and youll make a great mistake if you think you can at the same time qualify as a good wife and home maker. Husbands can be picked up on the side, when it’s a career you're sprinting for, but the man will be sure to demand extra attention for himself after you’ve acquired him The marriage rate has decreased mainly because girls have turned their attention elsewhere. What they are going to discover, indeed what many of them already have discovered, is that a career exacts more sacrifices and gives less in return to a woman than marriage has ever done.
