says the Judge. Is largely con-
cerned with sex. Hitherto Mid.
die Age has conformed to the
ancient sex taboo, particularly
that taboo which insists on the
fidelity OF both husband and wife.
There are always certain individ.
uals and couples who have dis
regarded this taboo, and had secret
affairs" But now all .pretense
is being cast aside. states Judge
Lindsey, and an increasing num-
Der of Middle Age married people
are seeking sex expression openly,
often with their partners consent.
Judge Lindsey cites one such
case which came 10 his attention
through the Juvenile Court. He
calls 1t the case of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederick Blank. Mr.. and Mrs.
Blank are wealthy, educated peo-
pie with a charming home and
ample leisure to enjoy themselves.
Their social position is high.
They don't run with a fast set.
They are both charming people
and seem devoted to eacn other.
Recently, while she was seek.
ing help for a young girl, Mrs.
Blank told Judge Lindsey her
own story. Some months ago
she discovered that her husband
had had an affair with another
woman. She charged him with
1t and he confessed. She was
furious. There seemed but one
course for her-divorce. She pack
