Changing Viewpoints

 W Pineapple lake they triedS hard not to be puffed up about it. Ever since their marriage, five years before, they had managed a weeks vacation at the little summer hotel and counted themselves fortunate.
 Those seven days spent wandering in the woods and down the sandy shores of the wide-rippled lake, past the mod estly pretty summer homes of the elect who were privileged to live there three months of the year and grow real gar dens and cut real grass, were days they looked forward to for six months and looked back upon for the next six.
 Soft, was natural that when Uncle Henry remembered them in his will to the extent of couple of thousand dol lars that they should plunge. They breathlessly bought the particular lot they had coveted at Pineapple lake and built tiny bungalow. They were rap turous over this little section of the woods now theirs and the glimpses of Pineapple lake through the. tree trunks By doing without a new winter over coat Tom was able to commute back

Answer

Answer:
 You have said it, B. You have
 evidently had the i'll luck to marry
 one of the men who can never be
 perfectly domesticated, and who P considers wife and home as an
 annex to his bachelorhood, not
 substitute for it. To such a man a
 home is merely place to go when
 other places shut up; restaurant
 where he can get quick lunches
 without the bother of ordering
 them: an asylum to which he can
 flee when he is sick and old.
 That type of husband regards wife merely as A domestic cenvenlence-a combination of cook, valet, nurse ana companion. and he feels that she should ask no higher privilege than just wait ing with a glad, sweet smile ot welcome on her face to him to come home when he gets good and ready, and that being married to him is picnic enough for any man.
 Apparently your husband goes
 even this selfish type of husband one better, for when he insists on
 your going to work outside ot the
 home he expects you to pay your
 own way, and his as well, Tn addl-
 tion to the labor of keeping the
 home. And should think that
 even a self-respecting felame worm
 would get her back up at that.
 Snch A man may well ask himself what his wife is getting out of mar riage, and why she wants to keep on with such a poor paying job! For trying to make a home for husband who eats and runs is certainly no all turing prospect. No man gives Wo- man a fair deal if he marrles her before he is ready to settle down, and do his part toward making a happy home. and unless he cares enough TOT her to want society and is willing to be a fireside companion. As long as his enjoyment consists of running around at night, and he prefers the company of men, he should stay sin gle. It is a lonesome and dreary thing for a woman to spend her evenings alone, and not even wandering nus band is liberal enough to be wiling for his wife to amuse herself Ill the way he is diverting himself.
 Making a happy home is a part
 nership affair. It is just as much
 the mans place to help do 1t as
 it is the woman's, and men should consider their responsibility in this
 matter before they get married.
 As to what A woman shall do who is married to a man who wants to De both bond and free, that is, of course, for her to decide. Sometimes one Of them is worth waiting for, but gen. orally the wife is-Wise to make her hus- bank take his choice between her and home, and his old cronies and the street. DOROTHY DIX.

and forth week ends and living certain ly was cheaper.
 They hammered and painted dug and raked, built rustic furniture and even the season, inviting the impressed Smiths. from the flats below. and the TayIors from across the hall. Cots and hammocks were cheerfully slept in and the Gardners knew that winter back in the city that they had established themselves as leaders.
 The glow lasted for several years. Each spring they hurried to the cottage eager to dig it out from the winters leaves and every fall they locked the last shutter with little sigh. It was something of a shock when they learned that the ten-acre tract of woods border ing the lake a bit down the road had been sold to one purchaser. Then the caravans appeared. There were chop pers and sawyers, carpenters and trucks, excavators, lumber, cement, crushed stone, worried architects and dreamy landscape gardeners, florists, van loads of interesting boxes and wrapped fur niture.
 On lthe lake front a velvety green terrace was springing to life through the carefully nourished and well-rolled soil. Behind it rose a large and altogether wonderful palace of stone and brick with ivied walls which might have stood for years. Stretches of green sward rolled away on all sides and rows and hedges of big bushes promised beauty for the coming spring. A young forest of rare shrubs and evergreens dotted the place. A large hothouse shone in the distance, garages, chicken yards, barns were faintly visible through the distant trees. Down in the splashing lake a discreet boathouse Haunted it. self smartly.
 The Gardeners shut up their tiny bungalow that fall rather silently, dis dainfully. It looked little and shabby and commonplace. They did not men, tion it during the winter, which was a restless one.
 Hot and grimy from scrubbing out the inside of the bungalow that next spring Libbie refused to look toward the blooming radiance of the Tapping ton estate. When a big limousine swirled by followed by luggage vans she compressed her lips with bitter envy of the woman who was to queen 1t over all this new magnifinence. Many things in. this world were unjust, Lib bic thought, surveying her reddened hands.

Answer:
 l. Just because you enjoy being with a man and like to dance with him and enjoy going around hay ing a good time with him and want to put your brand on him and keep him away from the other girls is no sign you are in love with him. But when you find boy that you would rather stay at home with and talk to than go to a party; when you begin to think about sav- ing mans money, and when you think more about his happiness and pleasure than you do your own, then you may safely conclude that you really love him.
 When you find a man that your head and your heart both approve of you may be sure he is Mir. Right, but main ly you will recognize him by just some thing in you that makes you feel that he is it, and that causes some little two-by-four shrimp to look better to you than Greek god. Love is like the flue. You may have a lot of attacks of it that you think is love, just as you call 2 bad cold the flu, but when you are stricken down by the real mal- ady you know you've got it, and it's fatal.
 2. The length of time a girl should go with a a~man before she lets him kiss her goodnight de- bends on how long it takes her to get engaged to him.
 Tho vounro, ... |: AL tickle he is. Youth is changeable be- cause 1t is in state of evolution, and what it is crazy about one day it is tired of the next. The older man has made up his mind about what he wants, and is not likely to change.
 4. It is a safe bet not to believe more than half that a man says to you, and to discount that half. Ap- ply little common sense to all of mans jollying, and decide how much of it is reasonable.
 D. Men are certainly very unreason- able in demanding that a girl shall give up other men for them until after they are definitely engaged to be married, and girl who does so is very silly to make an uneven bargain.
 DOROTHY DIX. Dear Miss Dix: If, when you are going along the street, a strange man tries to flirt with you, what should you do? WAITING. Answer:
 Pass right along and pretend not to notice it. If the man follows you up call a policeman. The best way to deal with the masher is simply to ignore him unless he persists in his attention. A girl who keeps her eyes straight before her, and who does not herself have wandering eye out for affairs, is
