THE DANGER LINE
Dy DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid woman
Writer.

To students OF social phenomena
nothing is more curious than the fact
that the most dangerous time in
human life. morally speaking. comes
in the roaring forties.
1t is when men and women are be-
tween 10 and 50 years OF age that they
are most prone to folly. and most
apt to do the things that wreck their
lives-things that they would have
been incapable of doing when they
were younger and that they are too
cautious to do when they are older.
1t is then that most divorces take
place, and most scandals have their
origin.
or course the real reason for this
state of affairs is not hard to find. 1t
is a last flare up of the fires of youth,
a last mad desire to have one more
fling, to take final bite of the cake
of romance. to have a farewell kiss
before one settles down into the drab-
ness of old age.
This yearning for last little
philandering is common to both men
and women. and It is the thing that
makes middle-aged women who have
Just become grandmothers suddenly

about affinities. and that causes fat.
