She would value a strong arm to
fight her battles now that her own
arm Is tired. She shrinks from a child

much. Her hair may be faded and
her cheek may have lost its round

The couple who married early in
life never earned the valuable lesson
Of control They cannot appreciate
the luxury OF companionship who new

OF youth they take the good things OF
life as matter OF course, and are
unappreciative and Unsuitable.
Added years bring about a read
justment OF ideas. The older lovers
place affection first In their list and
worldly prosperity takes second place
They value every little bit of happi-
ness and treasure up every act OF
kindness. Where youth Is sharply
