Answer: Your wife is a pathological case and should ._ be under the care of some good doctor. She saved from herself and prevented from committing the crim- breaking up her home and divorcing a good husband. ter forties seem to be the age of indiscretion for both men and it is then that they most often commit the idiocies that they remainder of their lives in repentlng. it is a common thing to men p-nd women live upright, useful, virtuous lives. apparently happy thelx-"domestic relatlonshipand contentedly treading the straight and larrow no. until they reach middle use. than suddenly run unlucusmush Klclk over the traces and Grandpas turn into pl-eyboys and girl-

lllliiirc. Sedate grandmas paint themselves up like ﬂappers and hire llgolos. Feople who have celebrated their silver wedding anniversaries get divorces.

‘It is Nature's last call to the dining car. It is the realization men ind women have that youth is almost gone, that their good looks are fad- lllC. that soon they must sober down into the drabness of age, and so they

' leei that they must have one inst bite of romance. And because it is easy lo believe what we want to believe, they delude themselves into thinking llla y are still young and attractive to the opposite sex and that their

s could still leap and thrill as when they were sweet and twenty.

But they are mistaken, as they ﬁnd out when they get their divorces md try. to go back to their boyhood and girlhood. Age has taken its toll if them. The joints that age hasutiﬂened cannot dance down the prim- rose path. The things that aunuse youth bore maturity, and in a little while tbwlittle flicker cf synthetic youth dies down and leaves a tired-and disillusioned. man or wamn bitterly regretting the old homo and the old companion he or she has left. " '

u. is bod enough for the man who thinks youth by divorcing his old wife and marrying some girl young enough to be his daughter, but ‘it is far worse for the middle-aged woman who de- ludes herself into believing that she can go back and gather up all her girlish dreams again and have the romantic ezqaerlences of 16 at 46.

It cannot be done. What is past, is past. No miracle is going to happen that will give her back a girl's heart any more than it will give be: back her girlish ﬁgure. or her childish face, or the innocent child's eyes that. looked on life with awe and wonder. she has seen too much, known too much. experlencellwo much ever to palpitate again over the tlungs that thrilled her in her early youth.

So the woman's dream that she can go back and have all the exper-

opus that she missed in_ her girlhood can never be realized. She who has wn marriage and child bearing and. work and worry and struggle ,. ft- he wwiree and Baht-hearted as she was as a girl. She who has then to o thousand parties can't beexoited as she was when she went to first ball. She who is no longer young nor beautiful cannot hope to ' elven flocking about, eager to marry her. ~ »' ‘Bo when she has got her divorce she nnds herself with the door of closed behind her, with no home, no husband, a forlorn and lonely oiestarehwith a. hired gigolo to take her around to places and ulake paid love er.
