Don't lose dollars worth of time looking for a lost penny.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-11-23

Dear Miss Dix: A man between 35 and 40 years of age has been paying attention to a woman for the last five years. This woman loves him dearly; and although the man has never proposed to her, it has beer tacitIy understood that some day they would be married. In fact, the man thought that she would make him good wife even though ne did not love her as he would like to love the woman he would marry.
 But lately the man has met a woman with whom he has fallen violently in love. He feels that she is his real mate and that they would be blissfully happy together. But his courage fails him each time he tries to tell the other woman that he can never marry her, and that he has found out the difference between liking and loving.
 What is the right and honorable thing for the man to do?
 TROUBLED BROTHER.
 Answer: The only honorable thing for the man to do is to tell the first woman the truth. She should thank God for her deliverance, that the man found out the state of his heart before he married her, instead of afterward. She may suffer a little in having a faithless lover, but it will
  have been to have had a faithless husband and a home, that had been broken up.
 No man ever does a woman such a cruel wrong as when he marries her, without loving her. Many men marry from sense of duty. They outgrow a youthful fancy. Or they find that they have been mistaken in their feelings toward a woman, but they think that they must make good on the contract they had en- tered into because they have kept the girl from marrying some other man, and so prevented her from settling herself in life.
 It is a mistaken idea of doing the right thing, for in the long stretch of matrimony the truth is bound to come out, No man is a good enough actor to sustain the role of lover to a woman for whom he does not care No man can be tender and patient with the woman who has robbed him, albeit unintentionally, of his

| COURTSHIP, MARRIAGE
By BETrY VINCENT

Dear Miss Vincent: I am 16 years of age and during the summer I have been receiving letters from a boy of the same age In the winter he goes to private school, and the last letter wrote tos him was the week before school opened. He has not answered this and I miss his letters very much. Would you write to him again, or what do you ad- wise? MAIZE"
 Frequently in private school they are very particular about letters, and it may be that this young man only wishes to write to his imme- diate family Wait until the holiday season and then send him card.
 Dear Miss Vincent: While at 8 dance l met very interesting young man. He called several times, and then I did not see him any more. Re gently l received a telegram saying he was in town and wanted to see me. Do you think I should allow him to call after he treated me this way? AMY J." If you care for the young man give him an opportunity to explain things.
 Dear Miss Vincent: A young man I know moved to another part of the city. He planned to come and see me and bid me goodby, but failed to do this. We cared great deal about each other and since he has

family except when he deigns to take her to place of amusement.
 Moreover, son, you pay yourself a very bad compliment if you think that the only way you can keep your girl is to keep her from looking at other men. I wouldn't want her un- less she had given plenty of other men the once-over and still preferred me.
 Dear Miss Dix: What do you think of matchmaking-no professional. you understand, but in case where a brother is trying to be the match maker? I am 20 years of age and have loads of men friends, but my brother says that none of them could be considered seriously Because of that fact my brother is very anxious to make a match between me and a friend of his. What do you think of it? SISSY.
 Answer: I think that all match making should be very indirectly done, Sissy, because I believe that no man and woman have right to marry unless they really love each other. Therefore, I think that no one has the right to take the responsi- bility of persuading or influencing
 
 dividua1. Marriage is too personal a thing for that. It is too much a matter of taste.
 The man who might suit mother down to the ground might not please her daughter at all. The man brother might pick out for a hus- band might set your teeth on edge. Those who have to live with 'em have a right to pick 'em. .
 But in another way, in a broader sense, it is the duty of the older and wiser members of a family to be matchmakers. All of us know that propinquity is the great match maker and that young people fall in love with those with whom they are associated. Therefore, a mother toes no more than her duty when she keeps away from her daughter the men whom it would be inadvisable for her to marry and make her house pleasant to the sort of young men she would like for sons Jaw.
 And certainly 1t is a brothers | place to introduce his sister to the 1 nice chaps of his acquaintance and 1 the ones who would be good catches l After that the matter rests with Cupid.

There are eighteen girls in the of fice-and she is "one of us"
 Although she recently celebrated her fifteenth anniversary on the job, Nobody knows how old she is, but our guess is sixty!
 She is not the boss, but, oh, how she hungersi to be!
 When he's out, how she loves to send the girls in for dictation and thereby to show her importance.

 She hasn't forgotten that yetD
 She boasts of the fact that her last cold was n 1913.
 Consequently, even when the ther- mometer registers below zero,
 She opens the window, both top and bottom.
 Becal SC she feels warm.
 The cushion on which she is en- throned is an inheritance from some one who left years ago;
 If she happens to leave the room she makes sure to lock it in the closet.
 When two or more girls are en- gageG in a personal conversation
 She comes running over, all keyed up, with; What is it, Eirls?'
 "In my day." she always says people learned how to spell"
 Every time we rely on her knowl- edge of spelling the letter 'comes back,
 Because a word is misspelled.
 She is very hopewul in her dis cussions of marriage-nuch more sc than the rest of us!
 Her favorite quotation is: "A bad marriage is better than none."
 "Yous never can tell" she threat ems. q may beat you to it.?

DANCING FOR HEALTH
By DIR. CHARLOTTE c. WEST

Every one has observed the delight, the unconscious abandon and, in many cases, grace with which chil- dren of all ages dance upon the side walks to the accompaniment of the street organ. How many mothers take their cue from this and include dancing in their children's scheme of life?
 We usually regard dancing as . pastime and today, when we are forced to crowd so much into our lives, the average mother looks upon it as a luxury, but, while dancing IS undoubtedly an art and an accom- plishment, it is above all the highest form of physical culture.
 X well known, dancing master in New York city declares that boys should be made to attend dancing classes regularly from the sixth to the twelfth year. During this time they accumulate grace which they never lose and they become so well grounded in the foundations of the art that they are splendidly equipped for any future social life in which they may enter.
 "A knowledge of dancing will by no means be a hindrance but help to the more strenuous out-of-door games and sports in which a healthy, lusty boy of 12 engages. :.
 As for girls, dancing is natural avenue of escape and of expression for their higher emotional tempera- nients; besides this, there is no form of physical culture which develops the body and mind to the extent that dancing does. This healthful art em- braces at the same time walking, running, jumping, attitudes, steps gestures and evolutions, the delight full combination being sustained by tlre aid of rhythm, during which all the muscles and nerves of the body are employed in an agreeable manner hence making dancing, an inyal- uable exercise.
 The .awkwardness and clumsy movements of those unaccustomed to the dance as compared to the grace, finish and aplomb of the child who has danced from her earliest years, should convince you of its need.

Dorothy DiC'S Letter Bor

happiness and kept him from marry ing the woman he wanted. No man can keep an unwanted wife from knowing that he regards her as a burden.
 And that makes the situation of the duty wife intolerable and matri- mony purgatory to her. It is far, far better for man to jllt a girl at the very church door than to is in it. And he needn't worry about the woman. She will get over 1t and, perhaps, marry better man.
 DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Miss Dix; I am in love with girl who goes out with other young fellows when I don't go out with her. How can l stop her from going out with other men?
 Answer: By marrying her. That is the only thing that gives a man the right to dictate to a woman what she shall do and with whom she shall go. You have to pay for what you get in this world, son, support and put a wedding ring on her finger, you haven't any au- th0rity over her.
 It seems to me that man is pretty nervy when he arrogates to ! himself the right to tell an inde- pendent young woman just where she shall get on and off, while he as- oumes no obligations to her what ever. It is preposterous of him to demand of her to surrender her free dom to him just because he enjoys bossing her, and she is a threeply idiot to do 1t.
 And don't you think you are pretty selfish to expect a girl to sit up at home and twiddle her thumbs on the evenings you don't see fit tc take her out when there are plenty of other young chaps willing to give | Der a good time?
 There is a very short time in 2 woman's life when she Is free to have any fun, and she is very silly if sh, wastes any of it in waiting on the l pleasure of the man who isn't on tho ground, but who thinks she shoulG j wait his royal pleasure and remain 2 hermit when l.. the bosom of ke
