kindly, some less well disposed, that
the heroine Of my new novel. Her
Unwelcome Husband" is a little unusual
because she is a middle-aged woman. In
deed. as rule. the heroine with whose
miseries we are asked to sympathize. and
whose triumphs we are expected to ache
for. Is either sweet seventeen or lovely
twenty-nine. The heroine OF Her Unwel-
come Husband" Claire Caldecot, is thirty
eight; this is supposed not to be romantic
age, and am asked how can expect the
public to be interested in such character.
I would answer In the first place that
there are in this world many women of
thirty-eight. and that life does not end at
thirty-eight. I see no reason why the
heroine OF a novel should not be forty
eight. or ffty-eight; I know Of one novel
where the heroine is a grandmother OF
sixty. The idea that people cease to be
interesting at thirty-eight seems to me
entirely false: in Her Unwelcome Hus-
band" have tried to show that at thirty
eight one still may be the object of pas
sion, and one may stil live a eolored life.
OF course this attitude is to certain ex-
tent new. In the novel Of fifty years ago
it was not only unusual to find heroine
older than twenty-five. but it was even un-
usual to find heroine married on the first
page; she used to be married on the last
page. and that was the novel. As regards
age. our ancestors were very fierce; among
my notes I find an extract from a novel,
dated 1881, which says of one OF the char
aeters: "She was past the bloom OF her
first youth; she was twenty-two."
All that changed between the year 1850
and the year 1900. Certain novels such as
The Woman Who Did" The Heavenly
Twins" the stories in the Yellow Book, set
up the new theory that the really exciting
things in woman's life took place, not be-
fore her marriage, but after. OF course.
people went a little too far; the pioneer
novels. which threw aside the idea that the
story Of wedding was not so interesting
as the ending Of wedding. made out that
the fate OF women was to be married. mis-
erable and misunderstood Still they did
show that marriage does not deprive
woman OF attractions and Of dreams; that
sort Of shelf. The movement began with
young wives; just before the war a number
OF novels concerned themselves with mar
ried women. aged twenty-five to thirty
Now we go further. and in Her Unwel-
come Husband" I show the tragedy Of
Claire Caldecot at thirty-eight when her
lover cares for her no more. with her hus-
band. blackguard and blackmailer. coming
20 wreck anew a life he has wrecked once
before, and when above all man who has
long loved her stoops to trickery
though she is thirty-eight. At thirty-eight
Mrs. Caldecot can still command the love
Of men. I do not think this extraordinary.
Indeed. I suggest that it is natural and
right to choose a heroine not too young
as a subject for romance IL is a mis-
