In the Driftway

Two of life's greatest bogies are the clock and the calendar. Neither could be extirpated from modern life, and both have certain legitimate uses. But they are overworked. The wise men who address graduating classes often urge their hearers not to watch the clock. It is quite as important not to watch the calendar. Fortunately women are now pooh-poohing many of the old conventions about age. No woman of this day thinks she is shelved as an old maid simply because she is not married by the time she is thirty, nor does a matron of fifty believe the time has come to retire to a rocking-chair and knitting.
