DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
TO MARRY OR NOT TO MARRY.
BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

| have a letter from a woman who
says that she is in the thirties and
that she has never been in love or
seen my man who attracted her enough
to make her desire to marry him.
Tho lady further deposes that she is
comfortably well off, that she has many
friends and interests, n has neither
necessity to marry for a home or an
occupation. yet she is afraid that If
she follows her natural inclination and
remains a spinster that she will regret
it and feel that she has missed the
best OF life.
"Of course she adds, II realize that
| must make up my mind upon the
marriage proposition very quickly now,
because after a woman Is t~hirty-odd her
proposals become more and more like
angel visits, few and far between.
OF course whether a woman shall
marry or not is a question between ner
own heart and the ma No other
human being should dare to stick a
finger into that pie.
Generally speaking, however, ] should
say that any woman who Is not swept
headlong into matrimony by an over

Marriage is full Of ~disillusions and dis
appointments at its best, and the only
thing that makes 1t endurable is an
affection for another so much greater

Undoubtedly, a happy marriage is the
crowning gift that heaven a bestow

finds In a perfect companionship be-
tween two kindred souls, knit together

not gone more than five hops n half
a skip before, all at once. something
jumped out from behind a tree and
stood on the path in the woods, right
in front Of Uncle Wiggily.
Hold on! Where are you solngF,
asked a rough voice, and there stood
the bad old Skuddlemagoon.

you there?" he asked.
"Squash-for-pie!" a n e d the
bunny. But he was feeling SO bad that
his voice trembled, and he sort of whis-
pered in the middle, so all that the
Skuddlemagoon heard were the words:
"Squash-pie."
"Oh, no! Squash pie; eh?' spoke the
bad chap. We'll, hand that over first!
Afterward wen see about your souse.
Hand me that squash pie. Throw 1t
here!" he cried, rough like and deroga-
tory,
Uncle Wiggily thought quickly. He
remembered how tough the squash was
almost like the Skuddlemagoon, Then,
raising the green vegetable, which the
bad old chap thought was a soft pie,
the bunny threw it straight at the
unpleasant creature.
"Biff! Bangi Crack" went the squash
on the end the Skuddlemagoon's nose!
Then the squash bounced off, hit the
ground, bounced up again and was 60

when the Skuddle fellow cried:
for met I don't like squash pie as
much AS ! thought would" And, hold
ing his sore nose. away he ran, not
hurting Uncle Wiggily at all.
The bunny picked the squash, which
was only scratched a little, and took it
to Nurse Jane. She opened it with the
ak, cooked the inside part nice and
soft, and made a most delicious pie
with molasses. So that is the story
Of the squash. 1t teaches US that
