with no children, of course, He should
be about forty years old, and must have
been a devoted husband to his first

vagaries OF youth. He has sowed wild
oats and anchored steadfastly his ship
OF love until it was blown away by the
wind of eternity. He has known life's
greatest joys and deepest sorrows. He
knows how to appreciate profoundly
the love Of woman, and having learn

said one who had reason to know.
"People talk OF its being better to be
an old mans darling than young
mans slave, but l believe that the wo-
men who marry old bachelors are the
worst slaves on earth. Then, there are
other objections besides unreasoning
selfshness to unmarried men from forty
on. Such individuals seldom strike
happy mien. They are either prudes
or roues. If the former they are fixed
in their prim, uld-maidish habits if the
latter they have past that will not
bear investigation. People are always
talking Of the horror of marrying old
maids. and | can't see why there isn't
more said concerning the horror of
marrying old bachelors-men whose
sentiment has generally soured, whose
tastes and habits have settled into sell
fish narrow lives, who have lived so
long without the companionship of
women that they can't understand or
enjoy their natures when they get mar
ried. Old bachelor husbands are crusty,
suspicious everything that should
cause the women who have wed them
to be pitied."
Here the party was interrupted by
the entrance of the hostess husband,
and the just married young woman
went to her home, doubtless with per-

moraize upon matrimony, and perhaps
she can solve the riddle at the end
