The Times IS al right In advis-

WIDOWER
Everything the writer says is
all too true and too little appreci-
ated by the younger generations.
Widows are scarce; indeed, be-
cause, being considered plums in
the matrimonial game, they are
usually snapped up as soon as they
are willing to lay aside their wild
ow's weeds.
AS to a widOwer marrying a
girl much younger than himself,
have only this to say. Some Of
the happiest marriages l have ever
known were cases where the hus-
band is fifteen or twenty. years
older than his wife.
These wives are sufficiently
younger than their husbands so
that they are always attractive to
them.
In these marriages there is moth
ing of the elderly wife sitting at
home alone while the equally elder
ly Tin years If not in inclinations)
seeks younger company outside.
It is a fact that most unmarried
women fear marriage and mother
hood after thirty-and rightly,
believe, on the most expert medical
advice. The plastic figure of a
girl Of twenty yields more readily
to the demands Of motherhood than
does that Of the woman Of thirty
or over.
Still we all know many women to
whom motherhood has not come
until after thirty who have sue
cessfully become mothers Of splen-
did children.
Many scientists are agreed that
the children born OF a mature
mother and father develop greater
mental attainments than those

will be settled down in a hum

DEAR BEATRICE FAIRFAX:
Your editorial Of a recent date
surprises me greatly in its state
ment that large numbers of wom-
en- write you that they have
nothing to live for" It also re-
minds me Of your daily discussion
OF problems the most vital in life.
The Times is one OF the few news
papers that take a wide range on
human interest. Even the closest
students Of public AFFAIRS like to
find other vital matters discussed
from day TO day besides politics
Evidently The Times recognizes
the biolOgic law that two urges
account for all activity Of life
the preservation Of the individual
and the preservation OF the race.
The letters to you and the dis
cussion OF them indicate that il
Is the rather youthful who are
perpleXed and want your advice.
Those considering marriage and
those in love the first time call on
you. Is there never an appeal
from those at the meridian Of life,
where the shadows have not yet
begun TO fall to the last?
II young folks are perplexed,
consider, too. the trlbulations Of
those OF middle age, the widowed
who feel that perhaps a stern
sense Of duty TO God, humanity,
country, family and self, as well
as human weakness and human
yearning suggest mating anew.
The young. indeed, have troubles
IN their love Affairs. But all the
difficulties they contend with,
except ineEperience, are with the
The Washington times., 1919-10-07

middIe-aged, while the latter have
many more.
The young usually have not
property, established business
residence Of permanence, set
ways, standing in a community,
etc, to consider. The world is
wide for them and filled with per-
sons Of the other sex and Of their
own age and largely like them in
many ways. Readily they find
persons Of similar tastes and aims
suitable for life mates, and cal
culated to evoke their deepest love
enduringly. They get acquainted.
They fall in love. They have the
world before them and start at
the very bottom to plan for a
home and the future.
But the middle-aged person,
who has been bereaved Of a be-
loved spouse, are circumseribed
as few can realize unless they
have the experience. Compared
with the multitude of single per-
sons, there are so few widows
and widOwers. II such think IL
best to seek a mate of similar
experience, the field is very linn
tied. 1t is hard to find another
middle-aged person Of taste and
temperament to suit the seeker.
A widOwcT, for instance, will note
that widows are few, indeed.
Among them It is hard to find
similar tastes, nor is either as
adaptable as when younger. II
either or both have children, there
Is the problem whether or not
the children will agree with the
step-parent or with the other chill
dren. Parties so considering
marriage may be terrified at the
old story Of the couple one OF
whom said to the other: Look,
your children and my children are
beating our children"
II a widower turn, then, to con-
template possible marriage with
a spinster, he finds other diff
culties. If he look with favor on
such much younger than himself,
criticism is strong by Madame
Grundy. And in truth, risks to
happiness do come with marriage
where there is disparity Of years.
II he consider bachelor girls Of
years nearer his own, other appre-
tensions arise. II would surprise
many people to know the extent
