DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

dates on Sundays and Thursdays.
We are not engaged, and he has
perfect right to go out with other
girls, but can't see it. Whenever l
find out that he has a date with an
other girl phone him and make him
break it. When I accuse him of MAX
ing other dates and going out with
other girls he denies it, and tries to
make me think 1 am the only girl.
Should [ conceal my jealousy? DO
you think he loves me because he
denies Lat he goes with other girls
when he really does? I am just
wrecking my life by being jealous
of him.
RED ROSE.
Answer: I should think, my dear,
that you were taking the surest way
and the shortest cut to disillusion
the young man and make him dislike
you instead Of love you. For there is
no other woman in the world so I'M
attractive as a jealous fury, nor is
there any other woman Of whom a
man so quickly wearies.
For a little while it may flatter
mans vanity to think that a woman
is so much in love with him that she
imagiues every other woman to be,
and it may amuse him to torment
her by playing upon her fears of los,
ing him. But these diversions soon
pail, and when it comes to having
to combat green-eyed woman's
eternal suspicious, and to being put
through nird-degree about every.
thing he does, it gets upon the mans
nerve and he quits.
The fact that the young man de-
ceives you about his other engage
ments is no proof Of love. It merely
mans tn: you make him lie to you
as a man always will lie to a woman
to save a scene.
The only cure for jealousy is to
cultivate conceit and common sense.
Try to tonQuer your inferiority COM
pick. for that is what jealousy
amounts to. You would not be jealous
of other women unless you secretly
II ought that they were more attrac.
tive than you are.
Then use little gray matter. Rec
ognize the fact that by no possible
chance can you De the only woman
in the world. There will always be
cinating women, and vamp women
and the man you love will always
be exposed to their temptations.
You have to trust to luck and to
your own powers of fascination to
keep him away from other women,
or by reproaching him when he pays
attention to other women; and the
sooner you realize this, the better.
Above all, never let a man l.now
you are jeal- Of him. 1t is an adj
mission of your own lack Of charm.
and it is the surest way to ALLEVIATE
him from you.
DOROTHY DIX.
Dear Miss DIX am married to a
man whom I love very much, and l
have the darlingest baby, but I am
not sure whether my husband loves
me or not. He goes away every night
and leaves me all alone. I do every
thing to make him comfortable, but
he thinks that I should be able to
keep a good table and save lots OF
money, and when everything doesn't
please him he gets in a bad temper
and says cruel things to me. I would
like to be loved.
LONELY WIFE.
Answer: There are many wives
like you, poor little Lonely Wife, who
would like to be loved. But this is
your comfort-it is more blessed to
give than to receive, and those who
love are happier than those who are
loved. Not to be loved is a misfor-
tune, but not to love is a tragedy.
