Dorothy Dix's Letter Boz

it also for the sake of the girls. It isn't fair to monopolize them on the off chance that some day you might think more kindly toward matrimony.
 DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Dorothy Dix: For five years have been going with a man who is expecting me to say yes to a ques- tion that l am threading to hear. I like him very much, but I suddenly realize that 1 do not love him enough to live with him the rest of my life. One thing that I object to about him is that he has never had to think for him. self. He is an only child, and is selfish in a way, although he has a big heart about most things. His mother waits on him, and thinks for him, and I can see that he will expect me to fill her place and that would not be agreeable to me. l want husband who will go fiftyfifty with me.
 But the main thing is that I do not love him. 1 don't know whether I am brave enough to express my own thoughts when the moment of the great decision comes, or if will have so much respect for his feelings that I will sacrifice my own life for his happiness.
 HEART FULL OF SYMPATHY.
 Don't marry any man, my dear, un- less you love him with all your heart and soul, and unless you. feel that life with him under any sort of conditions is better than any existence away from him. Marriage to woman means eternal sacrifice of her own tastes and inclinations. It means hard work without pay envelope, it means sickness and suffering, and being tied down at home with babies And nothing on earth pays for it and makes it worth while except great and overwhelming love for man.
 Liking is not loving, any more than skinned milk is cream. It is a poor, weak, pale, flabby sentiment that does not stand the strain of daily domestic life. And so, no matter how much you like man, no matter how much you esteem him, no matter how much you admire and respect him, no matter what admirable qualities he has, don't marry him. Wait for the man with whom you will some day fall in love.
 And don't marry man because you are sorry for him, and because you think that you can make him happy. Instead, you will make him miserable. No woman is great enough actress to keep up the pretense of caring for the man for whom she does not care. Lies are never convincing. You can't ca- mouflage real affection, and sooner or later you will get tired of the living lie. Your make believe will break through, and your husband will know the bitter truth, which will break his heart, as your refusing to marry him would never have done.
 Furthermore, it is an awfully risky experiment marrying spoiled only son to whom you have to be mother and wife both. Better pass up the job.
 DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Dorothy Dix: I am engaged to man whose first sweetheart died be- fore they were married. It makes me very miserable to think that if she had lived he would never have loved me, nor made me his wife. Shall I ask him if. were she living today, would he choose her or me for his wife?
 BLUE EYES.
 Yes, silly child. And God grant him enough sense to act like gentleman and lover. But you are borrowing trouble. DOROTHY DIX. Copyright, 1924, by Public Ledger Co. )
