He was widower of forty and
she a girl in her early twentieS.
But the years that stood between
them didn't matter much, for the
language of love is the same to
two-score that it is to one.
So he came a-wooing at her
fathers home and they were very.
very happy.
OF course their interests were
not at all the same. He was some

opinions and ambitions, as becomes
a man who approaches middle.age
And she skinned the fluff from
life and loved it-matinees, dances,
tennis, a good time for every hour
Of the day.
But there was no clash. If he

she danced with the boys she had
known all her life, he smiled.
1t all was very pleasant and
satisfactory, and no one knew it
better than they did.
So they were married and he
opened the pretty house that had
been closed since his first wife
died, and they went there to live
with the good wishes of their
friends and family and their own
high hopes.
Time ran along and brought de-
velopments. The bride discovered
that her husband was given to
short answers and irritation after
a hard day in town. But her
temper was even, and she didn't
mind
There was the night they almost
quarreled-after she had moved

In the corners of the crooked
