There is, said 'feminine novel 1st some ten or twenty years ago, In a novel that stirred all Europe, creating a sensa tion, "because , for the first time a, real woman wns revealed."

Such a mountain of money proved absolutely unendurable. It Is indeed a dangerous age for a man, any age when his wife begins to analyze! To questloc the existing or der of things, including matrimony. Is fatal. In the novel by the Scandinavian woman, Karen Mlchaelis, the heroine was at the turning-point of life, when age Is supposed to come, on apace, nnd the hot blood of youth to subside. The woman hns led the stupid, con ventional existence of the ordinary, well-to-do matron In all countries.

CHAPTER XII A Strange Question rpiIEO cried far Into the night, cried herself finally into an exhausted sleep. When she awoke the next morn ing and looked out of the porthole of her stateroom there was no slightest vestlgo of land. The sun was shining on n quiet sea, nnd the trim yacht skimmed through tho waters swiftly and easily. Somehow with tho morning she had lost most of her fenr of the night be fore. Some of her adventurous spirit had come back to her. and she dreFned after n plunge into the tub, In slmpl? port things that wero ns delightful to wear as her dinner dress bad been. When she slipped out of her room and went on deck she wns determined to make the best of things. After all, It would do no good to sulk, nnd mil Unness was not one of Thco's faults. Ho It was a rather charming "woman Who met Itidinrd TllnVeulnn In flm ..linn , aining salon, n woman who made no reference nt all to what had happened lost night, nnd who chatted casually on affairs of tho day with an apparently ngrceablo host.

The point that the European critics so delighted in was that tho average "good" wmnon is bored to death, nnd that she reaches a dangerous age, iibout forty-five, when i-hc suddenly lealizes that she must seize on her last rhunce at youth nnd romance. Most women have wearied of the middle-aged husband with smug be liefs nnd fixed moral plititudes, and n wide waistline, and would venture forth on the highwny of amorous adventure, If they were not cowards That was the consensus of male opinion. I asked dozens of women, of unusual intelligence, what the truth about this N. "She was morbid" ; "Pathological": "It is unfair to generalize and Insist that other women reach some such state of excitement and revolt." Thus they went on, as with ono voice. "Sho wan selfish nnd Billy, beeansc she hadn't nny intellectual interest: she was just n female, sitting around nn itdand, Instead of getting into the thick of modern activities. Such patho logical cases are for nerve specialists nnd sanitariums." Undoubtedly, there is wisdom in this. The idle person la apt to become neurotic, nnd one of tho quickest ways to become normal is to Interest oneself in Intellectual or unselfish humane pur suits. But to long for love is not pathological (diseased) and this mid life manifestation can be perfectly nor mal. Some women arc fascinating at sixty. Still, honesty compels one to admit tliat there is a dangoroas age for women I There nrc many dangerous ages!

Appreciation of Article To the Editor of tht "Woman's Page: Dear Madam I desire to express my hearty approval of and agreement with tho series of articles by Winifred Harper Cooley, appearing in your paper under the caption of "Woman's Life and Love." This Is particularly true of the one entitled "Just a Wife," in your issue of August 31. In "Just a Wife" Mrs. Cooley scores n point greatly In need of stressing. With many women being "just a wife" seems a perfectly satisfactory condition. Then, too, one Is struck with tho num ber of women who appear entirely de sirous of marrying a man In order to be kept, "ho they don't need to work nny longer," as they put it. Perhaps such women might very appropriately be designated "Meal-Ticket Hunters," or "Female Parasites. " E. O. P., Harrison Tellow in Sociology, University of Pennsylvania. The man she loved. He wondered vnguely what kind of roan he was. Ills eyes wandered to her taffy-colored hair talllcally bright In the sunshine, nnd like a flash ho remembered that moment last night when his fingers closed over her slim bare arms and he had seen her lashes wet with tears in tho moonlight. The next moment he realized that he wns thinking absurdly Intimate things about his private secretary, nnd he shrugged impatiently. Yet when ho looked at her ho could not reconcile hlraMclf to the fact that hho was the same girl who had worked in his office for four years. It seemed incredible, but he had never spoken two words to her aside from business until that morning she had como to him with the news that ehe was going to bo married. "What kind of man is he?" he asked abruptly. "What does he do?" Theo stored f't him. "What posHlble difference can It make to jou, Mr. Iilakeslee?" she answered finally. "Why do you ask?" And as her eyes looked Into his un waveringly, defiantly, he wondered wh7 ho had usked. What difference did It make to him what kind of man Miss Cnllwcll married?

Then again, a writer told us that ho had been married nigh three years nnd loved his wife moro than when ho wns on his honeymoon with her; nyo, loved her moro than murti Oreen River. Either the fellow wns probably "under" from a ahot In tho nrm or he was another Jules Verne. Don't tell me. I'm wed-locked, with the accent on tho hyphen. Then I recollect the person who bulled ub Into thinking he knew nil the classics backward, and afterward epllled tho kitty by mention ing "our own Billy Shnkcspearo." Also the "Western Girl" who liked to use "wo nil" when speaking nbout herself. Now you can take my word for It or not, but I know positively that no real Westerner or Southerner (they use thnt complex pronoun below, too, to nomo what extent) would think about spring ing It in the singular sense. This special Western girl was probably from nbout West Phllly. Another slip-up which I noticed was perpetrated by a sweet lyre who Insisted that we believe he hnd boen In every State In the Union as well au Atabnmn, and then gave himself the lie by tying tho blue ribbon on Phila delphia girls for being tho prottlest ln the land of the free. Right at once I knew he had never been under Dixon's line, much less In Ten'see. These boners, with tho omo about the wild, wild woman who boasted of her drinking prowess who over heard about a regular cabaret fish admitting thnt she drank? will probably suffice, I take It, to point out tho grounds for my sus picion.

IP IS unld that Clara Butt, the famous contralto, once pnld to hear herself sing. , , She believes sho is tho only singer who ever had this privilege. It happened this way. When, she was studying in London her great ambition was to sing In a certain famous hall, but although she studied pntiently nnd worked hard, she wen secretly afraid thnt her voice would not bo big enough to fill the place. Ono dav she went thcro ns soon ns the doors were open and paid tho fee, which was then rather small, to go in. There was no ono in sight, nnd she hoped there was no ono concealed any whero who would hour her experiment. Finding her wny through the com parative darkness to a balcony, sho be gan to sing. And then she had the joy that comes to some of us through great effort, others with case, nnd to some not at all. Her nmbltion wns fulfilled. For her voice went nonrlng out over the empty seats' in the, balcony, Into the great theatre, swept around nnd filled up nil the holes in the way thnt de lights and thrills and satisfies all singers. TT WAS actually the "thrill that - comes once in a lifetime," for Clarn Butt knew thcnthnt her tnlcnt was real, her study not in vain, her triumph nssured. There nro not many of us who enn have this experience. Most of us work along in ignorance of what the outcome will ne, hoping thnt It win be success ful, but seldom being granted a glimpse like this Into the future. It would bo helpful -to some of us to have this little reassurance thnt wc are not struggling for nothing. But, on the other hand, wouldn't it Two Minutes By HERMAN The Sunshine of Faith PITn, not fate, rules tho universe. Truo faith Is invulnerable. It never wears nwny. It mny burn low, but It never burns out. It sometimes ebbs, but It always sweeps back nnd sweepi men nn. Faith is the ballart of toil. Men grow disheartened, but fnlth to comfort when weary nnd worn, to inspire to rose-gathering despite the thorni. It is faith which sustains tho swimmer who fights the tide ; fnlth whlci supports tho soldier with his back to the wall ; faith which warns the sailor who combats the storm ; faith which strengthens the businessman ln the grip of bank ruptcy. Only faith can stop men from squandering their golden days nnd dollars; only faith enn terminate stumbling servitude nt the shrine of failure ; only faith can lead to pluck, revivifying hope from the myriad-hovering flowers of oppor tunity. At some time or 'other, the world unites ngnlnst some one or other of Jti benefactors ; and only faith enn heal the gashes Inflicted by the barbed wires it ridicule nnd calumny strewn in their path. Even Lincoln once complniid that there was only one man on the face of the globe whb was his champion ntmstlf. Fnlth is the foundation-stone of all achievement; it is woven into the fabric of nil accomplishment. It'wnB faith that spurred the tired plowboy to becomi the emnnclpntor of a race ; faith that lifted a little girl bereft of faculties from the depths of unparalleled gloom to the heights of unrivaled heroism. In the arch of victory faith has always been the keystone. Faith in them selves, faith ln the thing they were doing,' faith thnt nil must turn out well It has been the insplratlonnl essence thnt hns heartened thousands of hopeleu men hnd women driven to the bottoms of desperation nnd despair. And Fnith in the omnipresence of opportunity has been the constructive, animating motive of countless men and women who have been seared but saved from scrvilo, slavish subservience to misunderstanding, discouragement and failure. Flowers havo hard work blooming on dreary days they need sunshine. So docs man today, especially the sunshine of faith. Read Your Character By Dlqby Phillips No. 43 Heavy Hands You've seen heavy hands. Lots of peo plo hnve them, both men nnd women. A heavy hand is one which is lnrge, with considerable of the bony structure indlcnted, ns n rule. Tliat means often largo knuckles and a certain squareness of construction. You seo them most often on people who nrc accustomed to doing heavy work with their hands, though you can tell It quite easily from tho hand which has become enlarged nnd toughened through hnrd work. Heavy bauds nrc born, not made. You see them on thoso accustomed to hnrd work, not as a result, but ns a cause. It's because people with such hands hnve a natural aptitude, men tally nnd physically, toward hard phys ical work. They like It. It Indicates a certain practicality of nnture and n tendency to come to de cisions through reasoning rather than desire or whim. Such people generally think more quickly than they act. but when they net they do so with decision. Their characters nrc marked to a conslde -jle degree by aggressiveness nnd rugged ness, both mental and physical. Per haps they control it well, but )ou'Il ul ways find In them nlso n tendency to dominate others, a desire to control others; nnd, too. n certain lnelr nt uvm. pathy or, rather, keenness of sympa thy. Mentally, they find it n little auucuit to put themselves In others' boots. They look upon the people around them objectively rather than subjec tively.
