Answer:
 You said it, George. Cad is the right word. So is fool. A secret marriage always reflects upon a mans honor and integrity and sense and judgment. Don't marry that way. No good ever comes out of it, and it will bring no happi- ness. If you cannot trust the faith and love of girl before marriage, you cannot trust them afterward, and you will suffer the torments of the damned in jealousy when you see men paying her attention, and dare not assert your rights as a husband. DOROTHY DIX.

Answer:
 think your mother is entirely wrong, and that she is doing a cruel and a wicked thing to per suade you to marry one man when you love another
 No man is a good "chance" for a girl, no matter what else he has, if he does not possess that mys- terious something that inspires love in her. He may be able to give her pearls and limousines and a fine house and all that money can buy, but he cannot give her happi- ness. He cannot buy contentment for her.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-05

Tn idea that marriage puts some sort of a cOnjure on a woman that makes her fall out of love with the man she cares for, and transfer her affections to another man just as soon as he be- comes her husband, is perfect folly. It never happens. On the other hand, it is quite the other way about. Bless ings brighten as they fade. The thing that we can't have is always the thing we crave the most, and the han you don't marry is always the ideal hus- band, with virtues and charms that the one you possess never has.
 Of course, mothers all think that they could make a better choice of husbands for their daughters than 1 the daughters could themselves, but this is not true. Love is a mat ter of individual taste, and the whole happiness of a woman de- bends on her getting the man she fancies rather than the one that mother likes.
 Those who have to live with hus- bands and wives have a right to pick them out.
 Certainly at 19 a girl has plenty of time to wait, but if she was 90 I would say wait for the man she loves.
 DOROTHY DIX. Dear Miss Dix: am a young man very much in love, but I don't earn enough money to support a wife. I want to get married so as to be sure of my girl, but I don't want any one to know about the marriage at present.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-05

Considering that it. is the wife who has to handle the family. finances, and who has to pinch and economize to make small } income cover the high cost of liv- | ing, you would think that every girIbefOre marriage would demand to know just exactly how much money a man made, and what sort of business partnership she was going into. But most girls are this. They have not had enough experience with money to know the importance of it. And, besides, they have delicate shrinking from the subject. They fear that man will think them mercenary, or that he will feel that such a question is a reflection on his ability to support family.
 So the man should volunteer the information. It starts the couple out with a clean slate, and it saves many future recriminatiOns and quarrels. DOROTHY DIX. Dear Miss Dix: I am 19, very popu lar, and happy as a girl could be. Blu here is my problem Two men want t marry me. One is 26,. good catch and my mother tries all the time t persuade me into marrying him, al though I do not love him.
 The other young man is not finan cially able to get married right now but I love him. He is studying a pro fession, and will not be ready to marrl for three years or more, and he want me to wait for him. am still young and think I am right to wait fol the man love. But my mother thinkI differently, and we are at war OVel this. She says I will waste my tint with this young man, and that by thu time he Is ready to get married he vii fall in love with some ont else ana leave me flat.

Ellen and Wells were Immediately
shown to suite of rooms on the Sec
Ond floor; Alberta and Ray withdrew
to the library; Sanderson prowled
alone about the house. All of them
were thinking of the same thing.
Sanderson was ashamed of the mood
which had caused him TO act so churl-
ishly toward Williams. He did not
like the man, but for 'Berta's sake, Re

And Alberta was all that he had left.

had been on that boat, now! The
story would soon come out. All Of 1t.
Poor Bob This Japanese lord would
tell what he knew Of Bob. He
wouldn't color it, one way or the

told him easily.
Sanderson had spoken no word, nor

He likes to help" she added, fearing
that the Japanese might decline.

Wells said very quietly and gravely.
His meaning was double-turned, but
