Would 1t be all right for me
to get divorce and marry
the girl?
Please have this put In

JERRY.
A man who has had sense
enough to make q fortune In
pickles ought to have more sense
about girls.

life partner there is a third party
In the game. Treat your wife,
who has helped accure your for
tune justly and ! am sure she will
not give you half the trouble rs
an 18-year girl is likely to.
Dear Miss Grey: l am in
love with a girl two years
and half older than myself.
She loves me, too, for she has
often told me so. Should
this difference in age pre-
vent US getting married? We
have talked this over; but
cannot decide. We would
like your advice on the sub
ject. r. II.
A.-Oriinarily IL should not

A FEW MIDNIGHT GIRLS"

A FEW MIDNIGHT GIRLS"
happens along and stirs Oldpor.
up as nothing ever has before.
Getting job In a hopelessly
old-fashioned store, she puts II
on its feet through up-to-date
methods, starts town boom, cap
tivates the entire male popula-
ton, and, Of course. captures the
right man. Henry w. Savage has
given the play good cast, with
Irene Fenwick and Frank b.
Thomas in the principal roles.
Two people who really can sing
do whole lot for THE Midnight
Girl" a new musical comedy al
the Forty-fourth Street theater.
They are George MacFarlane,
whose robust tenor has been heard
the country over in the Shuberts'
Gilbert and Sullivan REVEALS, and
Margaret Romano, a sister OF
Hazel Dawn, who fully equals her
better-known relative In looks
and voice.

ture of a motorcar and n long hill. You
size up the hill from the bottom and
attempt 1t on the high gear. The grade
proves to be sleeper than at first
thought. The engines begin to pound.
But you have vowed to make the top
on the high gear. By simply shifting
over. with whatever reluctance. all
would be well. Instead. you let the en-
CINE fret and throb, perhaps stall itself
or wreck something, for your pride's
sake. This the picture. Then the moral
