What Chance Has the Man of 35 or 40 0f Mar- ryiug for LoveZL-Can the Wife ‘Who Left Her Drinking Husband Believe In Reform? - To Marry or Not to Marry

Dear Miss Dix—What chance do you think normal men of 35 to 40 have

“v W" mqn-ygn; for love, especially if they are reasonably attractive to women? Of course, there are numbers of desirable women, probably one of

love with one merely because he wants to. After s man has loved and lost and then looks around for s girl hc can love and act and does not find one-well, Mien he has passed 35 the time left seems to be getting pretty short. JULIANU

Answer:

If you mean to ask what chance s man between 35 and 40 years of age has of winning the love o.’ a woman, then I can answer: the best. For a man at that age is at the peak of his attractiveness to women.

"t l ~ _ He still has the physical claims and good looks of youth. He still has the fire and srdor of youth and in addition he has the sophistication that no boy has, and that is a trait that is_ peculiarly appealing to women. The man lactwecn 35 and 40 knows his way around. He has seen the world. If he has any intelligence whatever, he has read and studied and thought and is s far more interesting companion than any boy can be.

lie has known many men and many women and he has learned how to please women, how tn pay them the compliments they like, how to take care of them when he takes them out, how to show them the little gracious courtesies that make a boy seem crude and provincial by comparison. Also, n man at that age has generally got settled in business and has more money to spend on giving a girl a good time than s boy has.

Of course, s little 10 or 20 year old flapper would prefer s boy of her own age who would want to Jump around and dance endlessly and scream and make whoopee Just as she does. because they are overflowing with ani- mal spirits. To the flapper the man between 35 and 40 would seem posi- tively decrepit with age, but I am not supposing that s. man of that age would even want to be a cradle-robber. He would have more sense. Be- sides. the young girl would bore him as much as he would bore her, for, as a. matter of fact. two generations never speak the same language, and there are none to whom we have so little to say as those who are twenty years younger than we are.

But girls mature early, and after one is 25 she is fsr more likely to ad-_ mire an older man than even one of her own age, because s girl at 25 is a woman. whereas a man of 25 is still a boy. So I should say that the man between 35 and 40 could go a-wooing with every confidence of winning his Jadylove if he picked out one old eno ugh to know a good thing when she saw it. .

But if you mean what chance has s man between 35 and 40 of falling romantically in love, I would say not so good. Ifa man has reached that age without ever having fallen in love at all, then, obviously, his heart ls not made of inflammable material and agirl would have to be a first-class srsonist to set it on firs.

There are men who srecold by n ature and self-sufficient. They never feel the need of love and tendsmess. They like women well enough as playfellows, but do not want to be burdened by having to support one and put up with her exactions. A man who has thought of nobody but him- self, who has coddled himself for thirty-five years, cannot fall head-over- heels in love. He has no more the ability to be romantic than he has to ling tenor or write poetry.

Other men, because of family bur dens, have put ofl marrying until they sre 35 and suppressed their love instinct so long that they have well nigh- atrophisd it and they are not likely ever to have any overwhelming passion Still others have loved ‘and lost and the most that they have to give any woman is a. warm friendship. the drags at the bottom of the glass whose wine another woman has quaifed I But if the man between 35 and 40 does find the woman he loves and who loves him he has every chance of making an exceptionally happy mar- riaga. because it takes wisdom and self-control and a knowledge of life, a5 well as romance, to make marriage a success.

Don't feel too harshly toward your parents because they resent the burden you put upon them by coming back home with two children.

And lather and mother are old and children annoy them and get on their nerves. Father and mother need what little money they have to spend on themselves and it is a cruel thing for them to be deprived of their little comforts in their old age because of their children's matrimonial diffi- cultics, noaomnr mx.

This year, it has appeared early, the first spring hats favoring it definitely. It'is employed differently however. Whereas formerly the roll was’ inclined to be loose and suggest the pirate silhouette, this season it is being introduced in a tight scroll- like effect or manipulated in a single brief‘ mil. The one-side roll de~ velops the profile type of hat which is now being promoted as an early spring vcrson.
