count of the sheltered life | have led

that may not be realized at my time
in life
Il hold that. ordinarily. a man of
my age should not marry young
woman, as their sympathies could not
be alike on account of difference in
experience, yet there alone would the
ideal be realized. What's the answer"
Sincere" is paying one of the many
penalties that are eXacted from every
one who lives in a large city. If he
lived in country town his friends
and neighbors among the womenkind
would have picked out his second
wife on their way back from the Gene

the vacant place in his home Then.

long experience in match making.
which conceals from no one its mo-
tives, they would bring things to pass
which would result in wedding.
Sincere doesn't say So but his
plant indicates that he has no busy
busting friends among women. or
they may possess that inherent match
making instinct but it is too con
gealed by the unfrendly atmosphere of
a large city to be capable of action
Sincere" does right to take his
plight seriously. The man whose mar
ried life has been ideal is truly help
less, unfortunate creature when left
to travel alone His opinions of all
Womankind, based on the loved and
loving wife who has left him are
