marriage between young girl and an old

man
For let no girl deceive herself by be-
heving that there is any truth IN the old
adage about its being better to be an old
mans darling than young mans slave.
There are, in truth, no other such grind
ing tyrants ON earth as the old, for age
brings with it curious conccit that makes
even a fool, if he has lived number OF
years believe that he is a very solomon
for wisdom. The old almost universally
believe that their Judgment is infallible,
their outlook the only point of view, their
way the only correct method OF dong
things, and SO the old husband forces his
wife to obey him with rigid discipline
that no young man would think OF I'M
posing on woman.
And the old are selfish, grasping with
greedy hands at the life that is slipping
from them, and the young wife FIN dis that
she is nothing but a nurse, who must
spend her DAYS and nights ministering to
an old mans whims and crotchets, and
coddling his rheumatitm.
Every Young girl who marrics an old
man thinks she is going to be able to
wrap him around her finger, and that he
will be so pleased and flattered at having
pretty wife to show off that he will trot
around with her to places of amusement,
and deck her out like a Fifth avenue show
window, and that he'll be satisfied to stay
put in the background while she tlirts
around, and dances with chaps of her own
age.
Alas for the foolish dream What she wakes
up to is that grandpa, after having trod a
measure getting young wife, retires TO
the radiator, and nurses his gouty feet
of an evening, where he expects young
wife TO bear him company, and listen to
the thrilling "reminiscences of what he did
