And aren't you too hado on earrings anyway? So great a man as Oliver
wendell Holmes set his approval o m them. He called them the golden

DEAR MISS DIX am twenty years old, and people tell me that
/ am to- wild and should settle down. Do you think that any girl of
twenty should settle down? WILD AND TWENTY.
Answer:
Every young girl is entitled to plenty Of clean fun, to laughter and
music and dancing, and the sort If good times that she car remember
without blushing.
But there is n place in the scheme of things for the
drinking parties, for the petung parties, for the an-night
automobile rides, for the eompanionship of disreputable
nn and women for a woman at any g Every man who
sows a wild oats crop harvess sorrow and repentance, but
fr a woman the harvest is death and destruction. Wild and
Twenty becomes Broken Forty Don't forget that the WON
who does o settled down always las to settle up
DOROTHY DIX.
