We are told by the best authorities
that Cleopatra was at least,
45 years old when she "brought
Mark Antony to her feet, that
Helen of Troy had attained almost
to middle age when menr
fought and died 'for her sake;
that nearly all the women who
have swayed the desfiny of nations
or have been famous as
rulers of men became known to
the world after they had arrived
at what is "regarded as middle
age. Never were they mere girls
or even young women. In this
20th century
surely
history repeats
itself, and
the years between
40 and
ar e more often
than not those crowned with the
greatest success in the life of a
modern woman of society.
Take
a typical, well preserved, welleducated
woman of the present
day
who^ confesses
to 40, but
whose heart and complexion are
both as fresh as if. at least 10
years younger. She-has a keener
zest for life than many a woman
only half
her age, for she has
learned from
experience not to
expect too much from human nature;
so she
is
seldom
disappointed.
