THEY are usually sue tremendous
l ly intense episodes that they
cause amusement to the minimizing.
There seems to be some mistaken no.
ton that the capacity for experiencing
a sentimental affection v%anishes with
youth.
There are women past their first
youth and still very attractive despite
a few gray hairs who are actually
afraid to entertain the idea of marriage
merely because of what their friends
and acquaintance would say.
1t is this constant fear of being
laughed at that makes feminine mid
die age as a rule stupid. The sit-by-
the-fire attitude is one hat few men
will accept unless some physical i'll
compels it, but most women are &C
tually cat-like in their cultivation of
the easy life.
They will eve in their loneliness,
fearing that the emotional upstirring
may result in their being regarded as

ing. The less daring are astounded at
her courage, and even though they
smile pityingly there is a goodly grain
of admiration for the woman who de-
spite life's disillusions has not allowed
experience to rob her of her beliefs.
One Of the principal and most beauti-
full reasons for the middle-aged wom-
ans owe affair is that she discovers
herself to be important to one mans
happiness and welfare.
She may not be able to understand
the feeling further than this-that she
knows she is necessary to that indi-
vidual existence which depends on her
to complete and maybe rehabilitate his
character.
One rarely hears of the bachelor and
the unmarried woman of middle g
falling in love. 1t is usually a charm
ing widow who leads the blushlng
bridegroom to the altar or an inoe-
pendent spinster who yields to the
pleading of the lonely widower to join
him in the Lohengrin march to matri-
mony.
These middle-aged lovers always con-
tend that the sedate and belated fall
ing in love is always more real and
enduring than the youthful matings in
which Cupid plays SO many tricks.

hearts, has settled to a steadier beat,

A Doubtful Person.

Dear Miss Doom:
Not long ago l met a young man, a
neighbor. and have loved him dearly ever
since. He says that he loves me, and
would not think Of giving me up, but that
he cannot marry for several years. He
has not said why. l have asked him to
call, but he will not come. l feel badly
about meeting him, as my parents do not
know of our friendship. How can | ar
range TO Introduce him TO them, so / viii
not have to meet him outside?
WORRIED.
Tell him that you cannot meet him
without your parents knowledge. If
he is the right kind of man ne will see
you are in the right, and if his inten-
tons are serious he will be only toe
glad to know them. Try not TO think
thai o are in love with him. You
have not known him long or intimately
enough. If he tries to persuade you to
deceive your parents further, have
nothing more to do with him.

The individual right to happiness Is
one that women give up unconsciously,
almost stupidity.
S~elf-sacrifce, well considered. and de-
cided upon is an altogether different
matter from the reckless throwing

of idle criticism.
We will not start in at the eleventh

break through the gloom we must not
confuse the vision with a sentimental

So many women who have allowed
the role of spinster to become a habit
with them go on starving their hearts
with the idea that it comes under COM
nonsense treatment. II takes a daring
and adventurous admirer to rescue one
of these confirmed bachelor girls from
her joyless life.
Women study out so many ways to
preserve youth that they should learn
that a capdbility for falling in owe is

Washing Chan1ois Gloves.

My Dear Miss Doom:
I have a pair OF channels gloves that
are supposed to be washable. but I do not
want TO ruin them by washing the wrong
way. Can you give me some suggestions
MADGE.
Wash the gloves in lukewarm water
(do not rub the soar on the chamois,
bat make a strong lather before the
gloves are put into the water). Rinse
in several waters to get rid of all soap.
A few drops of olive oil added to the
first water will keep the channels from
becoming stiff.

Painful Hangnaiis.

Dear Margery Doom:
l am greatly troubled by hanEnails, and
it is needless 10 say that they are very
painful. Please tell me the hest way to
get rid of them, and win the thanks of
UGLY FINGERS.
Hangnails are something very diff
cult to cure. Hold your fingers in luke
warm water. cut off the loose skin, but
do not pull it off. because this will
make it very sore. Then rub olive oil
around the edges of the nail. Every
day soak the nails in warm water, and
then loosen the cuticle around the nail
with an orange stick dipped in olive oil.
