Answer:
No, Lonesome wife, you can't feed your starving heart
IN stolen low without having to pay the penalty for 1t. Be-
cause your husband doesn't make a fusso ver you, you can't
into your life. Because your husband neglects you, you can't
play around with other men without smtrching your good
name.

who re always willing to give a goodlooking woman a good time. But it
doesn't pay. Ii is better to be lonesome than it is to be the heroine of a
scandal.
But I always wonder what these clams-on-ice husbands
her own devices, and if they haven't enough sense to know
that when a nan quits making 10y to his wife while she is

And I also wonder if any man is vain enough to think that any pretty
young woman, hungry or love, is satisfied to sit u p n think about him,

And most II all, I wonder that mn ire 81 stngy with

and happy. DOROTHY DIX.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX-I I'm in love with a IA who is everything

Answer:
If a man has a small heart, o a narrow mind. or a little
brain, it Is a good reason for not marrying him but his height
has nothing to do with his desrabnity as a husband. Some of
peal n bar their wives around, who haven't intelh-
gence enough to make a decent living while there are plenty
steadfast and dependable, that they make the best and ten
'derest of husbands. se
nan o te greatest men IN history been little men. Many II the
most successful business men are small men. In the days when a mn de-
the size If his brain, and not his biceps. that counts.
Nobody but fools find anything humorous n a wife being
taller than her husband. You cal afford to ignore their
