A WOMAN in middle life who
n has been married more than
twenty years and has a grown
daugher, finds her husband philan-
dering disgracefully with married
woman. His conduct has caused her
to hate him. Although she has a
dream of a home, love has flown
and she asks me what is best to do
for the happiness of all concerned.
That depends on the husbands
past record. If he has been loving
and kind and has done his share
toward making home PLEASANT
place in which to live, I should say
sit tight and say nothing until the
case blows over. Many a woman has
saved her home from collapse by
this method and lived peaceably by
the side of the man who took it
into his head to kick up his heels

period which we
call "the dangerous age" Their
marriage has grown humdrum and
they feel youth slipping away.
Therefore, they feel an uncontrol-
liable urge to make a last frantic

ways in which a husband may be
disloyal, women recognize only one.
Many good men feel an urgent need
for an experience which takes them
temporarily from the side of a wife
they really love, and into the arms
of another woman. Although adul-

women it wouldn't

couldn't be a satisfaction under any
circumstances.
Before you scrap your home, think
seriously about the lonely life you
will lead. You can't cling too
closely to your daughter, for she has
right to an unhampered life. En-

is apt to prove a hardship.
There's always price attached to
