f wrNIFRED mentally.
HARPER co5oLEY Is there such a
thing as our loving man mentally?
II SO, does it constitute a crime:
"A. Well few years ago new phrase
vas coined-soul- mate.
: IL one can mate with another soul,
Y and, of course, with another heart.
Why not with another mind: The
wife being sued says that she did this.
Of course. II lot of silly things are
said by any jealous man. If a husband
decides that he is ''peeved and his
vanity is hurt bpcuse he feels that his
wife does not find him 100 per cent
perfect. he naturally accuses her OF bad
taste in preferring the other fellow. If
he himself is homoly and unattractive
physically. he is jealous of every chauf-
feur or dry goods clerk who has the face
of matinee idol, or every lounge liz
ard at dancing place whose hgure Is
slim and whose patent leather hair puts
to scorn the husbands own bald pate.
IF FRIEND husband has eaten 80
j. much all his life that al forty he has
lost his waist line, 1t naturally irks
him to see young chap who is a
perfect twenty six bowling gracefully
over milady'S hand. If his own face
Is red and greasy from looking upon
the hoocl when it Is moonshine, he
resents the pale profile Of a moving
picture hero.
But there is something novel about
: being jealous Of II rivals mental at
