NPEAKING of the irony of fate in it's N very worst form-the grim joke that " life still perpetuates in the best reg ulated lives, there was a news story a short while back in the big "dailies' that should convey lesson to the woman who puts off loving her love today.
 An old sweetheart, so the story went, whose wooing had suffered parental influ- ence in the days gone by, and inciden- tally the loss of the girl, returned after a number of years to take up his abode in the family of his sweetheart now grown to middle age and with young daughter of her own, just IS.
 The curious element of the arrange ment was that the returned lover didn't go to form one side of the expected tri- angle-the stage triangle. with one side always open-the returned lover, the wife and the husband. No indeed the wife for him had lost all the pristine glory of that first love affair and he wasn't even attentive enough to make the husband jealous Intsead-

 But
 What position for 'the other woman,' to be sure-"the first love"
 Speaking of curses coming home to roost, isn't the return of an old sweet heart almost as tragic-the returned first love who finds himself indifferent to the woman he once thought he'd love for ever. and instead deeply enamored of her daughter.
 Of couse the discovery that his first love" feeling has returned with all of it's pristine sweetness must he a comfort but the mother in the case?
 It's cruel hard to play the reconciled mother-in-law role to man, the mem- ory of whose love making has remained through all the years to make her sorry she didn't brook the parental fury and marry him.
 Nursing viper in your bosom is ~ small matter compared to rearing daughter who steals right under your very eyes the first love of her mother away from that one.
