SILK STOCKINGS

III ILK stockings used to be only
for 'dress-up" days. Now
1 they are worn to work by the
great majority Of persons in the
United States. SILK is the barometer
OF prosperity. A ready sale indicates
that people have money to spend. 1t
was silk that first felt the effect OF
the general economic slump of 1920
and 1921. This country imports its
raw silk and manufactures 1t here in
to stockings and other articles OF
daily use.
The materials he uses cost the silk
manufacturer SIS cents out of every
dollar he receives. Labor costs him
10 cents. leaving 20 cents for profit.
overhead and taxes.
When the Japanese silk worms
don't produce sufficiently and raw silk
Is raised 10 per cent 1t adds So cents
to every dollar the maker here must
get for his product. Wages could be
increased 10 per cent and is cents
would be added.

one l love and am going to marry What shall I do? B. R.

one love and am going to marry What shall I do? B. R.
 Answer: Why, B. R., if you will take my advice. you and your boy sweetheart will put off that wedding for three or four years until you are grown up, for, believe me, matrimony is hard job for even men and women to tackle. It is no pastime fer children.
 No girl of IT and no boy of 19 are ready to marry. They are in state that change every day, ana they have no idea what they are going to de- velop into themselves, nor what sort of husbands and wives they are go- ing to make.
 The boy that a girl fancies at II she wouldn't look at at 22. The girl that boy of 19 is crazy to marry l-he wouldn't have on bet when fe 1 is %. Of course, every boy and girl who are indulging in a case of calf love think that this is not true of | them, and that they are older and wiser and altogether different al their age from any other II and 1g year old kids, but they are fooline themselves. All humanity is cut out of the same bolt, and life keeps re- beating itself.
 All of us go through the measles and the humps. and the whoopina cough, and having a passion fol chocolate eclairs, and being in love in our teens, and most of us ge safely over them, and look back ano laugh upon our youthful experiences So use a little sense, and have a little grain of humor about you, B. R. LOOK the matter in the face, and ask your self why you should be different from all other women. Why shouldn your taste change as other women's have? Also ask yourself what yot would live on if you married boy of 19. Get your mother to show yot what it costs to run a house, and re. fleet that growing boys and girL need a lot of good food. Also con slider that you will cut yourself out of all the fun of girlhood if yor marry and settle down. You will be cooking and washing and pushing q baby buggy while other girls arc dancing and having pretty clothes and 1 free good times.
 And here is something else to think about-waiting won't hurt. II will give the boy a chance to get ahead so that you won't be burden on him. It will give you a chance to learn how to cook and sew so that you will be prepared to be good wife. and if your love isn't strong

Dorothy DiT's Letter Bor
Shall The Rich Old Maid Fout Convention And Propose agea-Girlish Seventeen Who Wants To Marry Young Nineteen-Can Mans Love Be Rekindledp

Dear Dorothy Dix: am a rich old maid I have never married be- cause I suspected that every man who came about me wanted my money, and because my relatives inn pressed it upon me that would be the victim of a fortune hunter if didn't watch out. Lately l have de- cided that it Is better to take chance on that than live the lonely, companionless life l do, which Is bound to get more lonely, and more dreary, as I grow older.
 Among my acquaintances is fine, middle aged man, cultured, interest ing, very congenial in all his tastes to mine, but who has never sue ceeded in business because he lacks the money y-making instinct. l would like very much to marry him, but he will never propose to me, all though he likes me very much, and we have been intimate friends for years. because my money makes barrier between us. 1 have a notion to flout the conventions, and make him a marriage proposition Why should his pride and silly custom keep us from being happy together? Would it be very shocking if l popped the question to him?
 SINISTER.
 Answer. GO to It, SlSleI, anu heaven send yos the luck you de- serve for having the courage to make a fight for your happiness instead of being kept the victim of silly superstition that makes us pretend that a woman never thinks of 8 man until he happens to notice her.
 So far as there being anything to apologize for in your taking the initiative in this case, you are doing fine, brave, sensible thing. The man cannot ask you to marry him because his sense of honor will not permit him to seem to seek to be a sort of pensioner on you But you can with all dignity, invite him to share your good fortune with you. And while he has no money to give you he has the things of the spirit to lavish you that are worth more than money.
 Without him, you would be a lonely old woman in a lonely house.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-05

You would find no pleasure in travel, or in any solitary amusement. With him, you turn your empty house into a home, and you two can wander over the earth with every pleasure doubled by a pleasant companion ship.
 A rich woman, in my opinion, can spend her money in no way in which she will get so much out it as in marrying the man she wants.
 There is no more cruel wrong up- der which the feminine sex labors than being bound by the old tradi- tions that forbade a woman the right to select her mate openly, and that made her do alf-her maneuvering to get husband under cover. Every woman knows the man she wants to marry, and inasmuch as every wife is 10 times as much married as her husband is. it is she who should be the picker out" not he.
 Of course. within a few years it is going to be just as much a common place for a woman to pop the ques- tion to a man as it is now for her to vote, and 1t is women like you, of means and position, who must be the pioneers in this final emancipa- tion of the sex.
 Dear Dorothy Dix: I am a young girl in my last year of high school and my mother considers me as a school girl who is not capable ot making a reasonable decision. l. am IT years old and in love with boy who is 19. He is working hard, and saving his money in order that we may marry soon. He shows his 3ove for me in every possible way, and I assure you that I know that we will always be happy together My mother does not approve of my engagement. She will not allow my sweetheart to come to see me, and tries to break up everything between us Under these circumstances, l see my fiance once in awhile without her knowledge.
 I am an unhappy girl. I should have my mothers sympathy and un- derstanding, but all l get is cruel words, and hard dealings against the
