Pr, Jim Brent asks:
DR. jim Brent, head of Wheelock Hospital in Merrimac, is a warm, fine man. A widower, Jim is greatly disturbed by the obvious need of his little daughter, Janie, for the motherly care that only a woman can give.
Several months ago, Jocelyn McLeod came to Merrimac from Samoa for observation and treatment, suffering from a type of anemia as yet undetermined. As her doctor, Jim cannot allow her to return to Samoa until a complete diagnosis of her illness can be made and a cure effected. Jim's interest in Jocelyn, however, is more than professional. From their first meeting he has found her freshness, her humor, her wholesomeness, the outgoing warmth of her personality, increasingly delightful. Her youth and wistfulness have aroused in Jim a desire to help and protect her.
Jocelyn is immensely drawn to Jim. And Jim's friends, heartsick at seeing him so lonely, are beginning to suggest that Jocelyn is the girl for him. But Jim holds himself back.
It would be, he knows, easy to love Jocelyn. But would it be fair to ask a girl fourteen years younger than he — a girl who, because of her upbringing, has never had a chance to know the normal fun of youth — to assume the responsibility of his home, his child?
What do you think? In a larger sense, considering this as a universal problem, do you feel that it is ever wise for a man to fall in love with a woman who is many years younger than he?
Is it wise for a man to fall in love with a woman much young,
than he ?
Is age difference alone an obstacle to happiness in marriage? Has the marriage of two people whose ideas are separated by a span of years as great a chance of lasting as the marriage of two who are close together in age?
