A MOCKERY OF MARRIAGE

ellis wife was too old and too
oldfashioned."
This is what is given as the rea-
son for Corey's conduct toward the
wife of his youth, forcing her to
the divorce courts, as a necessary
preliminary to his marriage to the
concert actress, Mabelle Gilman.
Too old and tt o old fashioned!
But she was not too old or too old
fashioned twenty or more years
ago when Corey was a poor and
unknown man. The rose of youth
was on her cheeks then, the light
of bright girlhood was in her
eyes, the love of trusting maiden
hood filled her heart. She was
joyous companion, Frightening the
hours of poverty, smoothing away
the cares and anxieties of life,
sending him forth rejoicing every
day to / the battles of business,
encouraging him in his aspirations,
planning for his successes, comfort
ing him in his reverses, working
in her way as zealously as he in
his for the prosperity and advance
ment that passing years brought
with them.
Butshe never learned smatter
ing of French, she was never taught
to trum offthe latest operate air on
the piano, she knew naught of the
intricacies of bridge whist, high
art and high life were as a sealed
book to her. When fortune came
and brought the luXuries of life
with it she had few of life's accom-.
plishments to offer her husband.
All that she had was love. Grace
of form was gone, the colors of ear
ly days had faded from her face,
there was no Iustre to the care
worn eyes. OF affection there was
no stint on her part, but he had
gone beyond that. Pride with
him, as well as passion, required a
younger, a more accomplished
companion.
Under the laws he could not
simply kill her and put her out Of
the way. Doubtless he would have
done so if the laws had permitted
1t. So he forced her by neglect
and open requests into the divorce
courts. Freed by law from the
alliance of a quarter century ht
has now taken to his heart the
vaudeville artist.
Will there be any happiness il
this mockery of a marriage
Perhaps so. Corey has the money
His second wife will doubtless love
him, in her way, for the COLDER
shower of wealth he pours unstint
eddy upon her. She loves him
for the money, not for himself
So the world believes. But il
would give him scant sympathy
if in the future retribution should
come by her casting him aside as
he cast aside the wife of his pov.
erty and youth. 1t would be q
delicious revenge for time to play
And stranger things than that
have happened.
