Let me give a particular instance which
was typical of all. The young wife was
fond of dancing and before her marriage
she went to dances once or twice a week.
Her antiquated lover did not object to this,
as Il gave him the chance to rest up a
couple of days each week and he showed
her that he did not want to monopolize

this night his feet ached him" His fee
ached him every night, but he ascribed
this 20 rheumatism, though he had been
told that It was the stiffening OF the joints
due to age.
But old men who marry young wives
don't want to believe that their ailments
and inirmties are due to age; they know

old husbands are VIGOROUSLY suspicious OF
their young wives, especially when the
latter want to go to places of amusement
alone.
The tendency to sleep after slight mental
or physical exertion is due to physiological

them. He submits to public opinion and
TO the fashions and customs Of to-day, but
he does not approve of them.
So stubborn and set is he in his views
that the young wife must employ all her
charms instead of appealing to his reason
to overcome his objection 10 her new styl-
ish dress or the present mode Of arrang-
ing her hair. She must plead illness when
she wants to take a nip, but neither rea-

things upon which their views are genera

married lives miserable.
The wife wants the husband to like
what she likes, the same kind of work and
the same kind of play, the same sur
roundings and the same food, the same
friends and the same habits. But even il
the old husband would want to submerge
his likes and dislikes and Gdapt himself

do so. The young wife might like to
dance, skate. swim, climb, hike, row or
take I'D calisthenics and she wants her

their surroundings. Young wives of young
husbands are proud of their bubbles and
are glad to exhibit them; young wives of
old husbands show their homes instead of
their husbands. But when the old hubby
defiles the home, leaving his clothes on the
chairs. dropping cigar ashes on the door,
litterng his desk. the mantle and the table
with books, papers and letters, the young
wife cannot be proud of even her home.
After nuptual night that chills the soul
of the young wife and converts the sweet
est epithalamium into q wall of sorrow
and regret, there come these differences
and irritations, irremediable and accumu-
lating. to plague them both. But. "How
often does the smiling face conceal an
aching heart, and oftentimes the merry
jest a groan OF anguish hides. So often
do we, in our lives. but play the actors
part, and show a seeming happiness where
misery abides."
A feature that is never considered by the
young woman who contemplates marrying
an old man is the expectancy OF life Of the
two. The expectancy of life at % Is Is
years; at 80 It is 34k years; at so It is
over twenty years; at so 1t is 13N years;
at 70 1t is Sk years; at rs It is 6h years.
But the man who marries young woman
when he is 10 or 75 years of age will hardly
live out his normal expectancy. The
abnormal mental and physical stimulation
will cause more rapid breakdown and
death, for, as sometimes happens, his
strenuous efforts to make himself an ac-
ceptabe mate quickly exhaust the heart
and cause death soon after marriage.
II, however. the old man lives his ex.
pectancy, the wife Is doomed to widowhood
in from six to eight years after her mar
rage. And then what? One woman mar

sacrificed for the prospective fortune.

Science Explains the exorabe Laws Nature Which Almost

Dr. L. Nascher. the distinguished specialist on old
age and author of "Geristries The Diseases of Old
Age and Their Treatment" has written an extremey
interesting article this page. showing why Science
shakes its head the mating of young brides and
husbands. Dr. Nascher in his application of science
to this interesting question. seems to very largely
agree with the popular notion which Is very we'll

IA Bird in a Gilded Cage" written by Arthur j
Lamb:
The ballroom was filled with fashions throng,
II shone with thousand lights,
And there was a woman who passed along,
The fairest of all the sights.
A girl to her lover then softly sighed:
There's riches at her command;
But abe married for wealth, not for love- he cried,
Though she lives in mansion grand.
CHORUS:
She's only bird in a gilded cage.
A beautiful sight to see;
You may think she's happy and free from care
She's not, though she seems to be.
It's sad when you think of her wasted life A"
For youth cannot mate with age
And her beauty sold for an old mans gold;
She's bird in q gilded cage.

old man cannot readily and viii
not willingly change his dispo-

the young woman who would be
