The Seven Ages of Woman in Love;
Chapter Six---When She Reaches Thirty
Five, Truth Suddenly Turns to TRAGEDY

Except as a memory, romantic
love is supposed to be unknown to
TWENTY-FIVE, the sixth of the
SEVEN AGES OF WOMEN IN
LOVE.
Average man sees nothing
about average woman of this age
to provoke a sentimental attach
ment, unless she is already men,
Der of his family. and he has
learned to respect the worthy
qualities upon which he has often
depended
That's DIFFERENT" every
man admits. THE USEFUL
NESS Of Thirty-five is beyond
dispute
But the bachelor of that age
does not turn to the spinster
when he wants a wife.
That HE cannot love her is
proof sufficient that THIRTY
FIVE cannot love, according to
the kind of logic man uses when
he thinks about woman.
But man isn't always right
MAN of middle age calls LOVE,
the WOMAN of that age DOES
NOT RECOGNIZE by the name.
1t is hard to find an adjective
which describes just what Thirty
five does mean by love. Only
affinities use the word spiritual
lin nonreligious sense), and
they misuse it. In fact they mis-
use all the words which distin-
guish any fine and high attach
ment between a man and a wom-
an. Which is a pity, because
affinity love" is usually only
the most incorrigible physical
passion blindly obeyed by indi-
viduals who are intellectually
qualified to know better.
And so there are not any left
over words in the dictionary to
express the exaltation of love
which Thirty-five can actually be-
stow upon a man. Some it OPP
presses, and others have to strive
harder than they like to be
worthy of it.
And this is the reason why you
have to doubt the veracity of the
music box in many a beautiful
parlor as it rolls forth "Home
Sweet Home"
The husbands daily mental
diet consists of hard business
facts and MATERIAL profit. He
even permits the word LOVE to
be altogether eliminated from his
vocabulary.
The wife attends all the local
culture clubs to her great
PSYCHICAL profit. She longs to
lavish the exalted emotion OF an
Isolde or a BrunhiIde upon a
REALLY APPRECIATIVE MANI
But her husband is confident that
he is approaching Wagner suf-
ficiently, and rendering full trib-
ute to love-when he pays for
opera tickets.
No man UNDERSTANDS

Time to Call for Fair
ness.

1t is indeed unfortunate that
in the working out of many ex.
cellent and necessary progress
sive measures,i in the interests of
the masses of workingmen and
women, irresponsible agitators
and subservient politicians and
the yellow newspapers have all
joined hands in exciting in every
way possible class hatred and
suspicion. In the last two years.
and in Ohio especially, neither
business men nor manufacturers
have had any kind of considera-
tion. Most of them have been
painted as oppressors Of labor,
seeking to squeeze dollars from
their employees, prepared to cheat
and seeking at every turn spec
ial privilege. Men of the high
est sense of honor and fairness
who have gone to Columbus to
present their position in matters
of legislation affecting their bus
mess have been branded as lob
byists and set down as the rep
resentatives of "big business, "
whatever that may mean.
Is it becoming a public dis
grace to be an employer of labor?
1t would pretty nearly seem so
to hear some Of the street agita-
tors and members of the legisla-
ture talk. This newspaper has
stood for the most advanced leg
islation in the interests of human
welfare and progress, but no one
can honestly stand for the alb
surd proposition that employers
of labor have no right to consid-
GRAFTON and that business and
manufacturing interests may be
booted about by any old kind of
legislation. 1t seems to us that
it is time to get back to a safer
and better analysis Of the situa-
tion, that the interests of en-
ployer and employed are and
must be identical, that all en-
ployers are not oppressors and
all employees are not oppressed.
The best friend of human pro-
gress is the man who can see
that nothing can be permanent
ly accomplished and nothing per-
manently secured on the false
foundation of class hatred, false
hood, suspicion and unfailness.
