She's IS Years Old

Dear MISS Falr1aX:
MY husband is very busy, and
works hard from morning till
night. He's very good to me and
gives me plenty Of money, and I
have everything I want.
THE puzzling thing is his atten-
ton to a widow of SIS, years and
years older than he is. She has
a grown family. He calls on her
very often, and when I tell him
about it, he says I just imagine
things.
DISCONTINUED"
Honestly, I don't think there's
much to fear from lady of SIS.
She's probably highly intelligent,
and talks to your husband about
things in which he is interested.
Cultivate this lady's friendship,
and find out what her magical
line really is. You might get some
valuable pointers. Women of that
age are very companionable, if
they don't spoil it by trying to
be flirtatiouS.
