Is Lonely
Wed To Elderly Man
Dear’ Mary Haworth: I am a young woman, 25, and have been married since I was 19. The man I married is considerably older; | the has just turned 72.
The reason for this odd mar- fiage is that my family was in financial difficulty and urged me to marry this man, who was wealthy. At the time. it seemed} to answer ali my problems. He was in poor health, and I didn't think he would live very long; and felt I could contribute some happiness to the remaining years of his life.
About a year after our mar- riage his health improved greatly and sometimes I think he may outlive me. I find I can’t go on like this, as he has become very demanding and it has got to a} point where I cannot stand his/ touch.
TURNS TO DROSS
Where I thought to gain every- thing in this marriage, I now find that happiness isn't brought by clothes, money and material things. My life is very lonely\ and | I erave the companionship of younger friends, with whom I could enjoy myself.
I feel that my life with Sam has been wasted. Our marriage has been childless, which makes it more unbearable. I have spoken to him about adopting a child but he says it is unthink- able, as children annoy him.
The thought of divorce has oc- eurred to me; but this is impos- ‘sible because of religion. It seems there is no real solution to the problem, yet I can’t go on much longer. I am emotionally ,upset, and fear a mental breakdown. Any advice you can give me will, be deeply appreciated. Thank you. P.R.
CLASSIC PICTURE
sorry, situation. Down through the ages, loveless marriage aas been
recognized as one form of hell- on-earth. And never uglier than
| when it yokes together dynamic
youth and decrepit age in un- gainly alliance, in a prison house of mutual frustration—with youth
detesting the stale atmosphere of | age; and with age resenting the| restless rebellious scornful spirit |
of captive youth young life.
You say that your church: pro- hibits divorce. But what are the caances of annulment, I wonder? From the moral or sacramental angle, possibly the marriage con- tract isn’t valid.
As you were minor-age (less than 21) when you took the step, and you had been pressured into it by your parents, who sold you down the river to solve their, fi- nancial difficulty; and inasmuch as your buyer (shall we call him?) denies you children, per- haps you have a case for free-
yearning toward
dom—if you will bring the matter |
to the attention of the church's “marriage tribunal.”
So I advise you to caeck this possibility. Consult your pastor; and if he evades the question. go higher up ‘the ladder of church authority, to your bishop if neces- sary, to get full light on the sub- ject.
REAL RELIGION
HW careful inquiry into your story reveals that you are mar- ried, permanently, it still doesn't follow that you have to stay fet- tered physically~to a situation that is wrecking your mental health. Church laws affirm your rigat to preserve health of mind and soul (always closely linked),

ELLEN’S DIARY
The Gentle Rain-Fall Of Spring Is Refreshing
Spring-what did it mean today at Alderlea? It was raindrops On a window at breakfast, and back of them a gentle veil of mist on the hills. . .Spring-rain is as no other rain, it came to mind, as we poured James his morning- cup of tea.
“Your uncle doesn't care for coffee in the morning,”” we com- mented to a visiting nephew yes- terday at supper when we spoke of favorite ‘‘cups.”’ This is one, who as a child, liked to come away from his life in an Island
L
es of children through the course of their years. What tales Time can weave! And some are beau- tiful and others so sad. For these two life has been good. City- dwellers, they enjoy their home and the family—the three sons and one maid of daughter which blesses it. They enjoy too the community of which they are a part.

village to spend his holidays here on the fanm—to angie along stream and pond, to bring home the cows to the evening-milking the dog his companion, and to join in the farming about. If he had been born to @ farm, t is not unlikely he would have chos- en it for an occupation because he seemed to have a natural lik- ing for the life and its inter- ests. However after schooldays, a Second World War called him off to service in strange countries overseas. Returning there were college days and afterwards a settling away to a vocaNon, a wife, and a home.
It is curious to us and always most interesting to follow ‘the liv-
“Certain!” we giggled.
Spring-rain is as no other rain. It is better. Better even than that of Summer which falls in gentle reffeshment.-on thé . sometimes wistful fields. Or Autumn's which out of a blue and gold day, comes to pelt coldly, the] colored leaves. Spring-rain is a promising element. It caresses the buds, washes Wintry leavings | a@way and bespeaks much that is’ lovely to come.
Spring today was rain. And af- ter it the joy of sunshine and. clearing. And now to crown it, a’ young March moon is hung above astar. For the farmers it was new-born stock at the barns-cal- ves. And in the old sheaf-house which in recent years has been turned into a home-fold, more lambkins had come, sturdy youngsters, appparently ‘‘come to live.”
The day was lovely, like, we thought, a cloud—a ribbon of brightness lilac-hued or carmine, which floats away against the tose and primrose of the sun- set. . .There are voices at the opening, door now, parting, work of day done.

Aid To Good
“Good food arrests anger. Re- frain from an argument before a meal and an hour_later you will forget all about it.
This advice is from Peter Ro- botti, proprietor of the elegant Le Chateau Richelieu restaurant in New York City.
“It is also necessafy to be com- fortable while dining, as this in- duces relaxation which, in turn promotes the feeling of well-being essential to good digestion.
“Do you find the settee com- fortable. Madame?" he asked as} I slipped gratefully onto it.
