For the old adage that you are as old as you feel is especially true in the marriage business.

And, unfortunately, there is a really bad old tradition that once a girl is married she should sim at becoming the staid matron. The "Remember you are now mar ried, my dear," sort of thing not only puts the years on, but chills the temperature of romance down to the frigid zone of conventional politenees.

Under these conditions of mar ringe every new birthday seems to be another step away from that courtship time which was ideal.

But all this pessimism about growing old vanishes when a wife forgets the passing of the years and cennos to compare her present self with the girl of years ago whe was then a bride,
