THr , "2 ' 1 n-yN.FFRAYt MAY 1 4, 1920. 5 I " JlOVE and MARRIED LIFE! Saj. the noted author i Idab MGlcme Gibson j I Alice returned from Ruth's with a very sad face. "What la the matter, dear," I In quired, "didn't youhave a happy lime with Ruth?" ' "No, my dear; Ruth la very unhap py. Like many women, she has learned to appreciate her husband whon she has him no more. She said to mo, "I did not know. how lonely I would '.be without Bobby coming In with his laughter and carefree man ner. I thought that my children would make up for any loneliness II mleht have, hut. Allrp. I haw found !out differently. 1 wish I had kept him." , "What do yoil mean, Ruth?" I said; "would you have kept Bobby whenj you knew he was In love with another woman?" "Yes, I think I would now. That kind of love wears away always. You know .that Goethe and Heine, the great lovers of history, insisted that romantic love hover lasted over two 'years, and did not last that long if tho lovers marry. As I think of Bobby T ' and. myself today. I believe that while K I he-was romantically In love with mk I Helen, that ho had a great affection H and regard for me, and I bellevo that - III LI1MU 1113 lUii; 1UI JIUIUII WUUIll IlilVV worn off, and he would have come Hp ; back to me." WKT ' Bobby's Heart Still True. H' I laughed, for this fitted-In so well Hr 'J, with Just what I had been thinking. mt i "Ruth thinks," I said, "that Bobby's Hp'" ' heart Is still true 1o Poll." . ; "And I believe Helen thinks o. too," said Alice gravely. 'Oh. my dear, my dear, 1 wish 1 could teach all you H women that are wearing your lives out Hf as devotees of the little god of love that life Is so much bigger, that this ! thing you call love is only an Incident of life, and as such holds a kind of ln- " terest, hut not the great Important, absorbingnterest that life has, if you only look at it in the right way. Joy, , sorrow, laughter, tears, wealth, pover- ' 4 tj'j. pleasure and pain, love and hator hold their, places in. Uiio .momentous thing we call life, but not one of them! is big enough to absorb 'Into its keep-! Ing life Itself." Again I looked at Alice in surprint. .She was always saying something, that showed me a deeper and more splen- did side .of her. And 1 determined that as soon as T was able, I would try, , and lake a leaf out of her book. SI-i ' leotly I handed over to her John's1 note that ho had sent with the flowers, and with It his telegram. "Did he. know I was 111?" r asked. "I wired him," sho answered. "J don't want him to come just now," I said, rather querulously. l want to make up my mind about things." "Make Up Your Mftid."' "That's right, Katherlne," said Alice, "do make up your mind ana then stick to It one way or the other " "I could do this very easily if I never saw him again. But you know, Alice, ns well as 1 do, the influence he exerts over mo when. .he is with me." IXlIlt u lo lilt lUi J u II I to make your -choice. Do you count those moments of ecstatic happiness Katharine, worth the depths 'of despair he causes you? If so, stay with him; If not, sot yourself free." "It la a sure thing, Alice, that you have never loved a man, or you would never give me this advice soc6olly. ("Why, you tell me to make my choice with about as much emotion aa' though you were advising me on the rival merits of a couple of new hats. Tn fact, I am not sure but that you would have more emotion over the millinery puestlon." -"Well, today, my dear, I really can't become Interested In the love affairs! You see, I am very much excited ovor, the fact" that we women are now a j factor in the affairs-' of the nation, po-j j Iitically. I mean."- j "Good heavens, Alice, are you a suf- fragette?" ' "No. I am not an 'ette.' I am an i'sl." " "What's the difference?" Avoids All Responsibilities. "A suffragette wants all the privi leges of a man, and Is not willing to .shoulder any of the. responsibilities She insists that a man shall give her a' scat In the street car: and forgets 10 thank him for It. She is always talk-. lngi atout the battle of sexes, audi wears a chip on her t-houlder every! minute. On the other hand, my dear 1 a suffragist Is a woman who wants the ballot, so that she' can help redreys the wrongs of other women, so that she can make the lives of little chil dren happy, so that she can help her husband to protect their home' from encroachments of greedy capital and; the malignant shafts pf demagogues."; "Why, Alice, a suffragist Is truly womanly." 1 said, rather wonderingly. "I hope so, my dear. I'm one." Tomorrow The Comiiur Woman. I; Sister Mary's Kitchen Ii In the kitchen of her own home, i Sister Alary cooks daily for a family of four adults.

I Jl S . BY JAMES HENLE, , j N. E. A. Staff Correspondent. ' t NEW York, May 14. Many's the 'heart that goes pit-a-pat. many's the 'breath that comes deeper as the movie herb discloses his love to the film heroine. "Ain't he just too grand for any thing?" asks Sadie. "Ah-h-h h-" sighs Mabel. Well, the testimony of movie wives .doesn't seem to run that way. There was Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks, the first, who found it necessary to divorce "Doug, while scores of other women have come to the conclusion that though motion picture stars may be all right as sweethearts, they are ! often far from perfect as busbands. 1 I "Too many vamps about the stu dios," is one wife's verdict. i "Their high salaries turn thoir heads," is another's. t . Mrs. Ruth II Dlaekwell, 'wife ofj Carlyle Blackwcll, Is the latest one of the movie wives to bring her marital difficulties into court. This is not tfio first time that she had appealed to tho law, either. On this, occasion Mrs. Blackwcll. whd is separated from her husband, asked that her husband be compelled to pay her $150 instead of 110 a week, the amount previously fb:eu. Her mo tion was granted. Mrs. Blackwoll's attorney says that his client obtained the star his first motion picture job, but that his suc cess "went ti his head" and it became impossible for Mrs. Blaclcwell to con tinue to live with him. i! Dorothy Dix Talks I At What Age Should a Man Marry? !;! ! By DOROTHY DIX, the World's Highest Paid Woman Writer ; (Copyrighted, 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) I A correspondent asks: "At what age should a man marry: ' That depends upon the man, and his circumstances. The only age at which a man should 'not marry is when he is not a man, (but only ii boy, with a boy's changing taste and standards of emotions. Thero (are enough risks in matrimony without I him taking any chances on what ho is going to be himself when ho grows j up, and the kind of a wife ho will want when lie is a man. That early marriages are much more apt to turn out disasterously than those entered into by mature people is amply proven by statistics, which show that far the greater number ol di vorces are asked for by people who married in their salad days. More than this, if you will -notice you will find out that the men who at fifty and over suddenly kick over tho traces and become involved in disgraceful scandals with, women, are men who, nearly all, married whon they were boys. They married when they were so young that the' had not had their fling, they knew nothing of women and their wiles and arts, and so when they got middle aged, and had accu mulated enough money to make it worth while to be plucked, they fell victims to tho first siren who made eyes at them. Moreover, the woman a man marries at twenty is seldom tho typo that ho would pick out at fifty. Wo may be crazy about pink ice cream sodaat twenty, but our pal ato craves something sophisticated when wo are fifty. A girl whose step matches his. who has a curl on her forehead, and who thinks Mary Pickford just too sweet and Douglas grand, and who can chat ter his own lingo, seems to a boy to have every qualification for making a life companion. Ton years later, when he meets up with her, sho bores him stiff and he wonders what he over could have seen in her to have admired. It takes an entirely different set of graces and charms to fire his fancy then be cause he has come to man's estate, and thinks as a man and not a child. Another objection to early marriage is, that a boy is selfish and lacks self- 1 1 1, li l ii i 'n-.! i m-m control, and is arrogant, and very su- perior to woman In his own opinion, , and so unless ho marries a Patient Griselda, they are sure to spat and , fight like two children. It takes age and experience with life to discipline a man to tho point where any woman's happiness is safe in his hands. Still another objection to the early -marriage is that unless a boy has in herited a fortune, marriage simply spells ruin for him. It shuts the door of opportunity In his face. It clogs, his feet so ho cannot climb. No young I boy, by his own efforts, can get ahead I any in these days if lie has a wife andjf children to support. He is doomed to 1 1 I the clerk's stool, or the work bench ' because he cannot risk his job by mak-1 j Ing any change. The wolf is always ; howling outside of his door and that breaks tho nerves or the strongest and makes them lose courage. "He travels the fastest who travels' alone," said Kipling. He doesn't travel : at all nowadays who attempts double, harness in his boyhood. He stays put In the grave he has dug for himself if he is a poor boy who commits sui- j cide by getting married. But. if marriage is dangerous for the) young boy, it is equally Hazardous fori the old bachelor. When a man is on! the shady side of fifty he marries atj his peril, and is pretty sure to find a wife excess baggage that ho wishes he had left at her home. By that time! he has acquired ways that are dearer, to him than any woman will ever be, and formed habits that are harder to' break than his heart Living alone! unconsciously and untentionally cultl-! vates selfishness in one. and makes It a perpetual irritation to have to adopt' onc-solf continually to another. We are, alas, not plastic after wei become middle aged. We have run into our moulds and are seL We have' formed the friendships we enjoy, and worked out the scheme of life best suited to our taste, and to have to give them all up and adjust ourselves to another, requires the heroism of a martyr. And few men enjoy qualifying for that role. So tho old bachelor makes tho worst of all husbands be- , cause he is a miserable one. Between old age and youth there is ! a happy medium when a man Is ripe for matrimony. Ho has come to him-, self. His tastes are formed but they have not become petrified. Ho Is set tled, and yet subject to change. He) has gotten upon his own feet so that he can support wife and children without feeling them a crushing bur den. Dealing with the world has taught him tact and diplomacy sol !... I. ...in l i . . i i wife peacefully Instead of doing it I with a club. I He has seen many women, and has dallied at 'many a shrimp. He has ticketed them all off in his little book tho girl who is good to danco for an evening, but whoso brains are all in -her heels. The intense maiden with whom it is fascinating to speculate on the inner meaning of lifo, but who could never come down from tho infinite far enough to keep the grocer's book straight or cook a din ner. The domestic girl who has not a soul above bread and butter. The soulful one who has no head. And the human girl who touches life at every point, and who will be comrade and friend, and working partner. Ho knowb what he want when he goes shopping Tor a wife an(l -ho gets the one who will be like good wine better and better as the years go by. Pie is old enough to judge, and young enough to love. His brain is ripe but his heart is not yet dust and ashes. He loves with the strength of a strong man, not the changing fancy ot a lad which follows after every fluttering skirt. This age is, roughly speaking, from twenty-eight to thirty-eight. That is the ideal time for a man to marry; oo At 33rd st. and 6 th ave., Now York, there aro six levels of railroad.
