Is a Woman Unfit For Marriage at Fifty? Have you a puzzling love aflali on which you need irlendlv advice? Wri'e to Julia Jerome, care of this newspaper. If you wlch a oersmal -rply please serd a stamped self-addressed envelope Our letter this week is from Hous ton. Texas. My dear Mrs. Jerome: I am one of those women whom everybody jokes about—I am a spinster. And I am fifty—quite an old spinster, you see. Never theless. I have just fallen in love. Violently and emphatically in love for the first time in my life! And the tragedy of it is not that he doesn’t love me. for he does, but that he is fifteen years younger than I! Now, will it be fair to him for us to marry? Will he soon grow ashamed of me? And will it be fair to myself? I am willing to take a chance and face the ridicule which my friends and the world have for such a marriage, but should I inflict it upon him? OLD MAID. i ► My dear there is no such thing as an “old maid” now. Forget such terms! It is true that in the hinterland, away from the sophistication of the big cities such marriages still call forth society’s ridicule, but that Is rapidly passing. People are beginning to see that a mere difference in age will not neces sarily be a handicap in marriage, j In the first place, age is not so much chronological as a matter of physical health. A well preserved woman of fifty can be actually younger than a sick ly man of thirty. If your sweetheart pays no attention to ridicule before marriage, he probablv won’t after wards. Of course, you will have to be more careful of your appearance and more alert than an ordinary wife, but that really won’t hurt you. We all nc-d something to inspire us to look and act our best. If you are willing to take a chance go ahead. If your sweetheart is thirty-five, he is old enough to know | what he wants. i -- Week-end Suggestions _ PRINCESS SALAD (Serves 6) % head lettuce 1 can green asparagus tips 2 fresh tomatoes 2 large oranges Pimento and mayonnaise Place one slice of tomato on each salad plate on which has been ar ranged a bed of lettuce.
