Woman’s Editorial By FLORENCE DAVIES V> Ry FIORENTE DAVIES Enter, one of life’s stock yillains the oldish millionaire who Is weary of the wife of his youth, now grown old and plain and who has fallen for the blandishments of a young and bautiful woman. It’s done every day, with a hurried divorce, a wedding reremony In a dis tant city, a life of the eyebrows In the home town, and then the world jogs on Just recently the newspapers told the same story with the lead role taken by a man whose wares have made his name known throughout the land. Back home with his bride of a few weeks, he verified the usual plot by refusing to talk for publication. But In the end the reporters get you. One of them got this chap, and as is always the case, the best of the story was after the conversation reached the confidential, ’’not for-pub lieation" stage. “I don't ask much of a woman,” said this particular villain, in a con fidential interlude. “All I ask is Just that a wife be sweet. She was a good woman, in her way, but she wasn't sweet." EVen an Inquiring reporter can't presume upon a confidence, or he might well have parried that charge with the question, "But what, my dear sir, did you do to make It easy for her to be sweet? Did you pro voke sweetness, by being fairly sweet yourself, or were you an overbearing, indifferent old grouch, wrapped up in your money affairs, who took the wife of your youth for granted and ex pected her to take the leavings of whatever interest or attention or good nature you had on hand?” Probably no one will ever know the answer to that question, and to that other question of whether or not his charge was true, or of who first started not to be sweet and so to cause the other one to forget sweetness. Perhaps the truth would be about a fifty-fifty average of blame. But the Incident does go to show, that the glib way in which we take It for granted that youth and good looks are everything, may be a long way from the truth. Suppose the woman who had i;i \vn up with the millionaire, who hid worked and fought with him from the early hard days of poverty into the affluent easy days of prosperity, had always held him close with her tenderness and her smile, suppose she had always been cheerful and affec tionate and sometimes a little of a wheedler, do you suppose then, that her unstylish figure and frankly plain face would have made much differ enoe? Doubtless the old chap seldom war ranted such effort on her part. For he was probably often grouchy and uninspiring himself. But just for argument's sake suppose she had al ways been (whether he deserved It or not) a little foolish about him and always cheerful? Do you suppose then that youth and looks could have taken him away from her? Yes, in some cases, where a man is without character to start with, such a thing could be. But 9 times out of 10, there are two sides to the sad tale of the worldly villain who renounces the' wife of his youth be cause she isn't young and pretty. What if she were neither young nor pretty nor sweet? One is tempted to believe that she would always havp seemed to he the first had she really been the last. Tennis Togs At Cannes one always sees the der nier cri of tennis smartness. The tournament that has just ended at the Carlton club was no exception to the rule. White is of course the regulation wear and very few women depart from this rule though some appear In pale pink or yellow. Plain one-piece dresses with pleats to give fullness down the side seams or with a plain waist and pleated skirt joined on have been worn by several well known tennis players, among them Suzanne Lenglen. White duck, pique, men's shirtings, kasha, mororaJn. crepe de chine, crepe mogul and cotton poplins are the favorite matertas for the tennis dress. Sweaters in Shetland wool and of a heavier hand-knitted make in all manner of bright colors, soma with gay designs are worn at the com mencement of play to he discarded later on.

My heart Is broken, for I love him very much. W hat shall I do? HUE. Isn't It better to have this young man disclose his feelings about such things as difference in ages now than later- You couldn’t possibly be hap py with a man younger than your self if the gap in ages means so much to him. Consider yourself fortunate that you found out his attitude soon enough to And happiness elsewhere. You don't tell me your age. hut I am sure that there is opportunity to meet other men who are perhaps older than yourself. Dear Martha Allen: You have solved many problems, so won't you try to solve mine? Two years ago I met a boy and since then I ha * learned to love him dearly. But there is just one thing that matters. My parents are very ft ru t and won’t allow m* to S° nut will him. He comes over every night and we stay on the front porch and talk. I fed sort Of queer having him sit <.n the front porch and not inviting him to rtime in on account of iny parent*. He has asked me several times to go out with him, but I have refused. I am afraid to go with hiiu for fear my parents will find it on*. I have never gone out with a boy and would like to go with this one. ]s> you know In any way in whirh t could change my parents' opinions towards him? BROWN EYEY Why not find out the real reason for your payents' objections? If thev> are unfounded you ought to be able to persuade your parents to allow the hoy to rail upon you. It may be be cause of your age, which you do not tell. Parents are fairly good Judge* of modern youth, so you had better trust to them. If the youth had toe right port of pride, he wouldn't come to see you and only sit on the porch. Ever thipk of that? Hook at all side* of the question instead of just your own side and I am sure you will find a way out. T. X.: To avoid embarrassment there should be two prize* at a card party, one for the honor guest snd on* for the best player.
