In spite of all this, gloves are to be one of the most important details of the Spring fashion. In the costumes of some well dressed women the one bit of color 1s introduced by means of the gloves. But this color appears on the cuffs. Cuffs apparently are shrinking every v, but they concentrate interesting 4y decorations on a small surface.

Filbert, | ez | DorothyDix| When Middle-Aged Husband Tires of Wife, It Is Her Duty to Stand by Him Until Indian Summer Romance Passes. GROUP of women were discussing the case of another woman whose husband had, tired of her at middle age and was trying to get her to give him a divorce. It is the most common of all tragedles, and the most heart breaking, for to lose a husband by death is as nothlng compared to losing him through disloyalty. ° The widow's grief is, at least, a clean grief. She has the consolation of her memories of a fine, true man and the knowledge that she did not give her love unworthily, while the deserted wife has nothing but bitter jealousies, futile regrets and the searing knowledge that through the long years she has fed her heart to a dog. Yet this happens every day. Men grow weary of their perfectly good wives, as they do of their last year's automobile, and with no more reason. Both are doing their work perfectly, but the paint has worn off a little and the men just naturally want a new 1926 model. And so the old wife and the old car go into the discard, and the problem of what the forsaken wife Is to do is just as unsolvable as what to do with the used cars. It was this question of whether a woman whose husband wishes to be rid of her should sit tight or give him his freedom that these women were discussing. “Well,” said one woman, “my husband would not have to ask me for a divorce but once. I would hand it to him on a silver salver. 1 can't imagine a woman having little enough pride to hang on to the coat talls of a man who is sick and tired of her, and who has come to loathe the very sight of her. When love is dead the only decent thing ls to bury it, not to keep the rotting corpse hanging about your neck, vainly trying to breathe the breath of life into it. ¢()F COURSE, it is a hard thing for a woman to face the fact that the husband she still loves cares nothing for her, and she goes through hell itself when the man she gave her youth to, whom she worked for and scrimped and saved for, and who has literally climbed to fortune and place on her shoulders, wants to kick her out like a worn-out old horse, but I cannot see that she gains anything in the way of happiness or peace by forcing him to continue in a relationship that has grown repulsive to him, and by binding him to her by fetters that gall him. “When you have to have a major operation, have it done quickly and get it over with. So I say that It Is better for the woman to give her husband the freedom he craves and take a fresh start and bulld her life along new lines. Thank God there are things in the world besides phllan- dering husbands! “It wouldn’t take me more than two minutes to forget a man who had so little sense of duty, so little lovalty and appreclation that he could forget 20 years of devotion, of struggles together; who could forget the children @ woman has borne him and the little coffins they have wept over. for the first flapper who came his way and made eyes at him. Good riddance of bad rubbish, say 1" “Wrong, all wrong,”" replied another woman, “you are looking at the matter from the woman's point of view. Perhaps it would be better for a wife to end her hopes and fears once and for all by divorce, instead of living on with & man who humiliates her every day of her life by making her see that she bores him, that she no longer has any attractions for him and that he considers that she is acting the dog-in-the-manger part by not letting him go to his new love. “But you forget that it is a part of a wife's obligation to protect her husband, and to save him, if she possibly can, from wrecking his life. And if she refuses to get a divorce she can at least keep him from taking the last fatal step in folly that would bring unending misery upon him. For these hectic love affairs of middle-aged men are nearly always a passing infatuation. They are the last flare-up of youth and romance, & false fire that burns down to ashes if you only have the patience to wait on it. H “All of us who have children know what it s to nurse a baby through | its second Summer, wien it is cutting teeth, and we know that if we can | get it through that trying time the child is reasonably safe. | e | 6] T is the same way with a husband. Around about the time when he's 50 nearly every man has a second Summer of sentimentality, and If we n nurse him through that while he is cutting his wisdom teeth he is safe forethe balance of his life. But it is a trying time for them and for us. | partcularly if our husbands have made money, for it {s then that the gold- diggers are after them “It is then that @ man kids himself into thinking that he is just as | voung as he was when he was 21, and that his wife is too old ior him. It {is then that he wants to run around with flappers and belleves that a girl young enough to be his daughter loves him for himself alone. And it is then that a woman should stand by and rescue her husband from the { harpies that prey on middle-aged men with fat pocketbooks. For the men are self-deceived. They aren't really young. They only | think they are. They are just as middle-aged and settied as their wives . They are not really in love. They are too old for the grand passion. Their litile near-romance soon wevaporates into thin air. Nor are the women in love with them. They are only marrying the men for meal tickets, and 99 times out of a hundred the man who has swapped his old wife for a new one bitterly regrets his bargain. “And so I say that a woman should refuse to give her husband a divorce just to keep him from making this terrible mistake.” “The most unhappy man I know is a man who forced his wife to divorce him so that he could marry a beautiful young girl” remarked a third woman fe told me that he had been married to her but three days before he | realized that they had nothing in common, that he was an old man tied to | a girl who cared nothing for him except what he could give her. “And he said that when he thought of his wife, who had given him a lifetime of devotion, he wept tears of remorse “He said that if only his wife had had patience to have borne with him a little while he would have waked up from his day dream and it would | have saved them bot “Anyway it goes, { with the bag to hold sdid the first woman, “it is the woman who is left DOROTHY DIX.
