Listening g Tn On Foe

Just one could support a wife and yacht simultaneously, and he had an awfully mean trick played on him. His fiancee pretended that she just loved the water and then as the minister pro- nounced them man and wife and they started down the aisle she extracted the promise that he would never again go out in a tippy boat!''
 And then he took up golfT'
 No he rides around in an auto with his in-laws. It is heart-breaking sight,
 But surely there are other yachts men on this broad expanse of lake?"
 II did sit on the yacht club veranda one Saturday afternoon, looking wist- fully, but for once it didn't pay to advertise, for there wasn't a soul there that I'd ever seen before.
 You had the wrong circulation for your advertising. Sorry l can't do something to brighten your future, but my wife is picking out colleges for our four youngsters, so that let's me out of becoming a boat owner. I'll tell you what will do. though-if you will get some letters off for me this after noon l H aSk Ine IellOWs H they AnOW anybody who needs ballast on his boat"
 ''Td go as ballast-you cant hurt my feelings, but the trouble is the young yachtsmen want to take girls of their own age, and the men of my age want to take flappers- is what makes me so furious. 1t is sad world foG the women !'A
 "Of all the cheek Here you are with a salary that 2 lot of men are supporting families oi-why don't you buy a boat for yourself"
 . The stenographer looked at the ad- vertising man for minute before she said; You have the brightest ideas of all the men in this concern. and out of sheer gratitude I'll work all the rest of the afternoon for you. suppose the only reason that hadn't thought of buying boat was that my relatives have been insinuating that ought to save for my old age and now that l have followed their advice, I'll blow the whole amount on a sailbOat. As far as can see there would be no joy in hay ing an old age if one didn't have lot 'of yachting back of it"

We Women
Olive, The Old-FashiOned Girl

nLIYE is quiet, and demure. She
 likes bobbed hair on others, but she prefers to wear hers long as did her mother and grandmother. She parts her hair in the middle and brings it down into a simple coil at the back of her neck. It is straight light brown hair and she refuses to curl it or use any of the beauty lotions to brighten it's color. She doesn't. pluck her eye brows, use rouge or do many of the filings that the modern young woman does. She wouldn't think of wearing n sleeveless dress. Her dresses last for years and she doesn't care whether they are in style or not: The little jewelry she wears has been in her family for generations.
 She is a type.

Do you stay too long when you go to see a girl: Do you finger on and on until the clock yawns in your face, and the girl has to get up and walk around the room to keep herself awake: There is no surer way for a man to make himself unpopular than to out stay his welcome.
 Perhaps, among these suggestions, you will find the answer to the prob lem Of why you are unpopular with girls. DOROTHY DIX,
 Dear Miss Dix: Do you think it best for a man and wife to separate when there is no hope of peace in the home My wife quits me periodically, and has done so during the last IS years. Dur ing these mad periods she tells scanda- lous and untrue tales about me, and tries to prejudice my children against me, and is most unkind to my dear old mother. There is no cause whatever for my wife's conduct, but l have put up with it for the sake of my children, whom 1 love dearly. But they are now grown and away from home and self sustaining, and do not feel that I can bear this any longer. What should l do. A WORRIED HUSBAND. Answer:
 I believe that so long as people have small children they should endure all most anything from their husbands and wives for the sake of keeping home together and giving the children the benefit of both mothers and fla ther's care and influence.
 But after the children are reared
 and out on their own. this obli-
 gatiOn ceases. Then I think that an
 uncOngenial man and woman have
 right to do their own way and
 seek their own peace and happiness.
 l do not see where any good pur-
 pose is served by man and woman
 being tied together who have come
 to hate each other and who bring
 out all that is worst in each other. DOROTHY DIX.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-02

Answer: SoacTszv 6j&
 l do, indeed, l.. W. l can think of ifO other one fault that is such an efficacious first aid to unpopularity as the fa- tai habit of telling every woman you meet just exactly what you think about her. That is some thing that human vanity cannot stand.

The people whom we like, whose < society we enjoy and whom we choose for our friends are the suave, the diplomatic, those with finesse, those who say pleasant and gra- cious things to us, who put the loud pedal on our virtues and the. soft pedal on our faults, at least when we are face to face with them. The people whom we avoid, and with whom we associate only under com pulsion, are the uncouth, the con versational blunderers, the 6ru- tally frank, who tell us the things that we would rather die than ad- init even to ourselves.

ness. There's nothing girls loathe like having a man patronize them.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-02

Answer:
 Nonsense. Women like men with kindly eyes. No woman wants to be scowled at and dominated, and any chap who tried glaring at . a flapper would be more likely to get a hit in the eye than make a hit with his eyes.

She is the old-F Fashioned Girl.

Olive is mid-VictOrian in her ideas of propriety. She spends q long time debating what is the correct thing to do and then goes ahead and does it.. She is deliberate and weighs everything she does.
 Dickens and 'Thackaray are Olives favorite authors. She rarely reads an ynp-to-date novel, She thinks they are all copies of what has been written before. If you tell her the plot of a new novel she will tell you it's counter part in an old classic.
 Airplanes are dubious quantities to Olive. She does not take to inventions or progressive ideas readily. Even now she prefers horse and buggy to an automobile. She loves to drive a slow jogging horse and quietly absorb the beauties of the country. She not only dislikes but disapprOves of the city. She is not necessarily cOunry girl, but her amusements are simple.
 Olives room bespeaks her person ality. It is furnished with lovely an- tique furniture and old prints and en- cravings. She is quite an authority on antiques and is never happier than when she is delving into some old book store or curiosity shop. She is fa- miliar with rare laces.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-02

As for a mans expression cutting any ice with his popularity, that's too silly to discuss. The only difference Tn expression that girl ever notices IS whether a man looks wide awake and intelligent, or like q fatuous fool. So my advice to you is to quit studying your. reflection in the mirror and turn your attention to your characteristics to-seek the cause of your unpOpularity with girls.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-02

Boys do not pay much attention to Olive. Sine has few very good male friends who appreciate her excellent and wholesome qualities. She is shock ed by the freedom and good fellowship between boys and girls. She is formal in her bearing which makes her appear to be older than she is. She likes to cook, sew and engage in thOmely house. hold duties. She will make a good wife and mother, though perhaps a lit tie strict. R

Are you tightwad? When you take a 0irl out, do you choose the cheapest place you can go to? Do you invariably order half portions at restaurant and the least expensive drinks at the soda fountain? Nice girls are not gold diggers, but they like to feel that a man values their company at more than 30 cents an evening.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-02

Plain-spoken people always account plain speaking unto themselves Tor righteousness and accuse those who are not guilty of it as being hypocritles, Dut this is very lopsided way to look at the subject. If you are asked your opinion of a subject, truth c0mpeis you to give an honest answer; but when YOU are not asked what you think Of a thing it is no part of your duty to volunteer a criticism.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-02

You will have to cure yourself of saving unpleasant things to women if you want to be popular with your own sex. l.. w., for there is this pe- culiarity about the plain-spoken woman Sine never feels called upon to say nlce things to people or call attention 10 their virtues. She never ruBs> the fur inc right way. She always claws.
 DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Dorothy Dix: am n young man of 24, but am not popular with the girls. I dance nicely, have pleas, ant manners, try to be agreeable ana am about average good looking. asRed an older man why didn't make hit with the girls, and he said it was be- cause I didn't have a dominant expres- sion about the eyes and mouth. He said my eyes looked too kind. Do, you think he is right? A. M. Il.
