By "PEG' Whet does • `it mean to grow old? At least two answers may be given e. to that question. "It is a very anxious time when we realize that we have left childhood youth. and middle age behind and are elipping into the realm where we are lilely to be useless; when we are not able to care for ourselves; when per - baps we have to live with someone 'Who does not care to be bothered With us; when we will not be able to go out; when we have very few places to go if we could go out; when our children will not let us do what `we want to de; when children and young people seem to rule the house and they talk back to us in a way your children were never allowed to. dq; etc,, etc., etc," "Old?" No I .am not old. I was 'sleety my fast birthday, blit I do not feel old. I have a certain amount of •work to do and I try to do it each slay, I have many friends , they creme to see me and I go to see them; -in my spare moments I react the pap- er and try to keep up With current literature. I expect sometime I will have to go to some old peoples home. but ant not worrying about that until the time comes. There are a great many nice people in those places and I wil'l try to be happy and will do what r can to make ,others happy there." There are two instances. The first of them is very pathetic. We know that in many eases it is true: The second answer to the question is taken from real life. They are both characteristic of people who have passed middle life and who are on the downward grade. Sympathy is divided between an elderly man and women who is travelling on in life and those with whom they have to live. One must consider that the health of an elderly person has a great deal to do with their outlook in life. So often when a father or mother are living alone and the call comes for one of them the members of the family decide, "Mother or Dad will just simply have to give up the house and come and live among us." It may be there are instances where this is absolutely necessary on ac- count of illness or for financial reas- ons. At times a father or mother is tak- en from a hone in which they have lived for many years with their part- ner in life; their friends with whom they had common interests are a- round them; they have their garden and can talk over the back fence to the neighbors:In the home they are surrounded by personal things which they have been , celleteing for years; they have their church aesoeiations Which mean a very great deal to them. With the kindest intentions in the world the family makes their decis- ion; the home is sold OT rented; an auction sale takes place and their much cherished posseesionos are scat- tered to the four winds,. They bid good -by to their old friends and start off to spend a few monthshere and some weeks there. The quietness which reigned in their old home is now a thing of the past; conditions in the new home are altogether dif- ferent from what they have been us- ed to. Gradually through one thing or another a barrier of unpleasant- ness is built up and the poor old mother or dad has to move on to some other member of the family. Here probably a -repetition of the same thing takes place. In the end there is usually discord through the whole family. Whose fault it is? It is sufficient to say that there are two sides to every question and the whole trouble might have been aver- ted if arrangements had been made whereby the parent could have been left in the home for a few weeks br until such time as the natter could have been carefully thought out. Some plan might, in the meantime have been madewhereby the dear one could have spent the remainder of his life in familiar surroundings and where the family could drop in from time to. time. The trouble is that things are done in such a hurry that sufficient thought is not given to the carrying out of the scheme. It is all clone for the best but freq- uently it proves to be a sad mistake, It is hard indeed to change habits of years and old and young resent being told what to do particularly if they have something else they want to do and have some other way of .doing it. Recently a daughter took her mother to a noted • specialist. The Physician came out of the examin- ing xamining room and said to the daughter. "Are you always! telling your mother to do this and do that? Do you try to make her do things she does not want to do? "Well," said the daugh- ter, "I try to keep her from doing things which P think will hurt her" The doctor answered, "You just leave her alone. Why do you want to spoil th'elast few years of her life by stopping her from doing every- thing she wants to do. It may short- en her life some to do them. but let her be happy in what she is doing." That is a lesson which many sons and daughters of today have to learn. We all do it or when we had our par- ents did do it. Looking back we can truthfully say, "If I had it to do over again I would Iet them do Larg- ely what they wanted to do."

Unless tie•parent wishes to clo so do not insist on them always -appear- ing when you have guests, Let us not he afraid of what our frientde are going to say. To often we allow the opinem'of outsiders' to make trouble in our, home. A grandparent in the home must realize that the• grandchildren have their lives to live and the responsib- ility of bringing them up rests with the parents. If things are not go- ing as you would wish them to, just quietly go to your room. There you will be away from any' unpleasant- ness. If you take the right attitude toward the children and young people it will not be long before they have a respect for you which they would never have learned in any other way and they will ,come to your room for many a quiet little ghat. We worry so over the future. All that is required of us is to go on from day to day. It inay be God will see fit to call us home and there will be no long years of old age ahead of us. It really remains with ourselves as to which of the two answers we are going to give to 'the questionaire. "How are we looking forward to old age? We can make ourselves happy or if our choice is to spread miserable days we can strive for that, but Iet us remember: that the attitude we have towards the world is just the same as we may expect to receive from it. Sad indeed is the life of a person who looks forward to the declining years of life and who cannot say from the heart "My Savior who has been with me through the past will be my companion to the end," If it should be that we have come to the last years without Jesus Gimlet it is not too late even yet to ask Flim to conte and abide with us. He will at once accept our invitation and the dread of the future will give place to a happy anticipation of the days which are ahead. Will we not ask Him to be a real part of • our lives through the months or years which lie ahead.

Hydro Home Economist Orange Blossoms hello Horakersl Did you ever wonder why Orange Blossoms came to be used in preference to others flowers in the traditional bridal wreath? The story runs that many years ago the king of Spain brought a few expensive Orange trees front Asia, ilis olti'gardener cared for the trees till the death of the flower - loving king. The next monarch or- dered the garden destroyed. The kings son who loved the Orange trees asked the gardener's daughter to plant a few roots secretly near her home --save them -and he would re- ward her, Fearful of,the new king's displeasure, the girl dcided to go to the queen and tell her story. Impres- sed, the queen preeented her with five potted trees. and the prince paid her so handsomely that she was able to marry her penniless sailor suitor. When she was dressing for the wedding, the young girl saw a little spray of Orange Blossoms on her father's garden clothes. She twined it into the wreath that held her veil explaining to her surprised attend- ant that she wore it in gratitude, for it was really the Orange Blossoms which had made her marriage possi- ble. ossible. , This story quickly spread through Europe and the Americas, and soon it became the custom for brides to wear Orange Blossoms. And now,home- makers, the season for weddings is upon us. so we've worked out some interesting suggestions for ae. attrac- tive reception mend.
