If you do, you will surely rue the day you were so foolish. Not only will you lose the respect of your children, and possibly your husband's, but you will forfeit the respect of your neighbors and friends. 114 THE ART OF GROWING OLD OCCASIONALLY you see an elderly man or woman so interesting and so interested in what is going on today, so cheerful and buoyant, so charming of manner, attractively and appro priately dressed, that you wonder why everyone in the world cannot grow old gracefully. As... a matter of fact, to grow old gracefully, you have to begin when you are young. Growing old gracefully is like learning a trade, acquiring a profession or getting an education it is not a thing to be attained in a few weeks, months or even years, and it is extremely difficult when it is begun late in life. Every time I hear young people bewailing the disagreeable habits of their elders, and criticizing the irritable tempers of the old people in their family circle, justifiable as their criticisms may be, I cannot help wondering if they too, may not be forming habits of mind, manner and speech which event ually will render them tiresome and disagreeable persons when they reach old age.
