In each of these two cases the answer is "no," although the circumstances vary consider-ably. consider-ably. On the one hand, a girl of 30 wants to marry a young man 24; and on the other, a girl of 17 is madly in love with a middle-aged mail about three times her age. Be sure to read this wise and tolerant discussion of a problem that has troubled many women. was madly in love with him. I was stupefied. Margot to me is still the dear happy dancing child who has been my companion all these years; to think of her as married, and married to a man almost 20 years older than I am, actually sickens me. I have not been well in soul, mind or body since this thunderbolt fell upon me. John is about three times her age, a well-groomed, successful suc-cessful man who has many friends, a fine practice, and who is extremely youthful in his tastes. He takes her to dances, plays tennis, associates much with younger people, but all that doesn't change the facts. Worse, he was married long before Margot was born, and has two daughters older than Margot One of these is married; the other lives at home as his housekeeper, and as the establishment estab-lishment includes his paralyzed old mother, two servants, a nurse for the mother and an office nurse, with a chauffeur and gardener as well, everyone seems to feel that Margot would be lucky to keep this daughter in the family as manager. Margot stands a little in awe of Helen, who is about 24, and says she would like this arrangement But to think of my adored baby in that big house, with a husband older than her own father is, and all those complicated relationships to adjust, frightens me. I could prevent this marriage until she is 18, perhaps, but she could go to her father for permission, and as he has never had the slightest responsibility re-sponsibility for her, or interest in her, he would probably give his consent "What argument can l use with her to convince her that she is throwing away youth, good times, the prospect of falling normally in love with someone of a suitable age? For certainly what she feels for 'this man isn't love." Situation Beyond Control. The answer is, you can do nothing. And for your consolation let it be said that Margot is now playing a part, and it is a happy and popular part That will be Margot's role, and she will love it Presently the rnaids. chauffeur, step-daughters, the helpless help-less old mother, the nurses, will all be in love with lovely little Mrs. John. Sometimes girls keep up that attitude all their lives? I knew one handsome old woman who still liked to remember that when at 16 she married a rich man of 55, he insisted that she go on with her schooling. And when he went to the Philippines during the Spanish war, he put her into boarding school. She had four step-sons, all much taller and older than she, and two boys of her own. and, while it wasn't marriage as most men and women know it, marriage mar-riage with Its young cares and responsibilities, re-sponsibilities, its mutual dependence and financial worries, it was a happy hap-py life for her.
