But, DEAR Mr. Wilstach, 1 am writing this in a breathless hurry, To beg you, please, PLEASE, not to rob the honor of ail its sweetness—not to take all the joy out of spring-- By adding that last bitter drop! Because you surely KNOW That, in the bright lexicon of the modern woman, there is no such thing as birthday And that a girl is “a girl” juét as long as she has the energy to wear a stralght-front and to marcel her and go downtown to business, And that a girl ts a GIRL just as long as she considers the game of life worth the candle, | game of love worth the ly » dance worth the Aud wovld rather put on a Ught frock and tairs and enter. tain @ stupid man an jo)] around in a kimono and read an Interesting novel And go to bed at half-past nix And every woman who is CREATING things Whether it's pietures or poems or children or similes or bats or ples or fame or a fortune or a home—or just happiness, is young with the eternal youth of the gods! And las no business bothering with birthdays! And that NO woman is as old as she looks b fore breakfast Dr as young as she feels just after she has recetved a proposal of mar ra thrilling compliment or a divorce or a box of flowers And that age is not a matter of birthdays, But of emotions and sentiments and enthusiasms: Not a mutter of hardening arteries—but of “oesitied notions” and “set ideas’! And that a wo nan is never passé until she begins to regard a man's lance of wpprai or his casual love-making as a compliment Instead of as an impertinence! And that {t's better to BE fifty than to WEIGH a And that the youngest woman in the world Is j And thet NO woman is the same age two days in different hats in different moods or In su { that any would rather tell you an to te how much there 1S of it!
