What Next In Spain?

Thanks to the continued assistance he had received from his Italian allies, Franco has all but won the civil war in Spain, and the pending de jure recogni- tion of his Government by Great Britain and France is a natural sequel to the capture of Cata- lonia.

What will happen when the civil war ends?

There is one school of thought which believes that Franco will go, cap in hand, to England and say: "Please, Mr. Chamberlain, I need some money, and that's the one thing my Italian and German friends haven't got. May I please have a credit for The reconstruction of devastated Spain?"

And then, according to this comforting and typical nine- teenth century theory, he will be told: "Certainly! Of course you wil nturally co-operate inde- pendently from the Rome-Berlin axis and you will remember that France is our friend."

But this pre-supposes a num- ber of improbable assumptions.

Are we to be asked to believe that Signor Mussolini has poured treasure in forth blood and

Spain for the sake of a holy crusade against, a bolshevism which has long since disappear- ed from "Red" Spain?

Are we to suppose that the | German technicians and com- Imercial concerns who have now gol a strangichold in North Spain and Spanish Morocco are going to pack up their suitenses and beat it for the Futherland?

Are we to believe that oft-repeated statements. Franco that he, intends to make Spain totalitarian State mean nothing?

Some women mym Forty Some warefl and Frightened." won't admit they are forty. They become the laughing-stock of their acquaintances heenuse they tell les about their age even to people who knew them in the cradle.

Well, I'm nearing the forties and I'm not a bit frightened.

Soon I'll have a wing of white hair over the left temple. My eyes are traced around with tiny lines caused by all the good laughs I've had in my thirty-odd years of life. The white in my hair doesn't upset me and the lines around iny eyes don't make me look old. They make me look jolly, and encourage people to tell me funny starles, be- cause they can see I'm the sort of person who will laugh at their jokes.

A few weeks ago I went to the Savoy Hotel to see a beautiful Ltle American woman who had come to London on business. She was a neat creature with an elin face. dark, pretty hair and big brown eyes.

PAHE train journey from Plymouth had upset her the day I went to see her. and she was lying in bed with masses of pale blue shawls round her shoulders to keep her warm. When I saw this delicate little thing sitting up in bed smiling at me I felt like beating a retreat.

You see, they told me before I called un her that she was one of America's smartest business women earning thousands a year. "She is hard as nails, but a charming woman," they told me,

I expreted to see a tall, forceful American. Instead I saw a sort of pixte. She told me slip was forty- three and was shortly to be mar- ried to a man she had known for elight years.

She had been married before und was the mother of two daughters.

"I came to London partly on business and partly for a vacation

when I said: "Honestly I don't know what age I am, I must write home for my birth certificate."

I found I was a year older than I had thought. For five minutes it gave me a jolt. All at once I felt that ought to be feeling more sedate. Then common sense came to my rescue and I carried on as usual, much as I used to do when I was in the early twenties.

Women working for their living. who think they will be in danger of losing their jobs when they rench the forties should remember that 1 on their age that matters. What matters is the use they make of the experiences age has given then,

At forty you should be balanced. You should have enough sense to act naturally and talk intelligently about your own job, your outlook on life, and your experiences.

OME of the world's most romantic affairs have een between men and women in their forlies. Every time that has happened the whole world bas remarked upon the woman's Age.

Married women of forty foar the competition at younger women who appear interested in their husbands.

Unmarried ones fear that all chances of marriage are over and hese still at work fear that the employer or client looking at them with critical eyes will wish to re- place them by younger faces.

And they are all wrong.

The most attractive women, the most adorable women, the most admired women are the women fu the carly forties who have learned what life is all about.

They can talk to a man or equal terms. They have something to say worth listening to. and-just as Important-they have gumelent sense to listen with interest to what others have to say.
