THE AWKWARD AGE.

MARADICK AT FORTY. BY Hugh Wal
pole Duffield & Co.
One of the current English novelIsts
recently declared that fifty is the real
romantic, or dangerous, period in mems
lives, the pronouncement being not near
ly so original as it appears at first sight,
since there is in existence a much older
dictum to the effect that fifty is the
youth of old age" Assuming all this TO
be true, forty must be mans real awk-
ward age. Maradick, as Mr.. Walpole's
title informs us, was forty and in affairs
of the emotions he certainly was awk-
ward when, after nearly twenty years
Of meaningless marriage. neither happy
nor unhappy, he woke up from his numb
ing round in the daily treadmill and be-
came a male "fapper." His pretty, shall
low wife took him for granted; she never
considered him at all, not even as the
successful breadwinner. He was there
as the furniture was, as useful, as un-
romantic, and far less ornamental. Then,
cne year, on the first evening of their
annual oullllS, MdrduAChS HuNHoeu tem-
perament awoke-the man was on the
verge of a breakdown from overwork--
and he told his wife that he wondered
why he did not turn her out OF the
house, with a few forceful remarks by
way of justification OF such a course.
Whereupon Mrs. Maradck, womanlike,
at once became interested in him, for the
first time in fifteen years. He spoiled

Keen-eyed Italian witnesses, such as
the Marquis de Saint Maurice and Primi

Louis XIV in a lighter and more init

Marquis de Saint Maurice was near the
