OVER THE HILL
WHEN YOU ARE OLD, by Gwendolen Freeman; Allen and Unwin. English price, 9/6. Y OUNG people are critical of old, who, they feel, should have done better. But they too will become old, and they can learn much from this series of biographical essays. Miss Freeman tells the stories of folks she has metgrannies, grand-dads, and _= spinsters, doleful, cheerful or busy, some with their own homes and some, alas, with a
none, These days, when it takes all the courage and resources of youth to house even one generation, age finds life increasingly difficult. Miss Freeman says that, when asked what they think of life, the old peopie "have not been encouraging." One old, lady of 70, however, found that living improved on acquaintance; when young she could not understand anyone wanting to live past 50, but now she wanted to go on "to see what happened in the
world."
