Is it too soon to asE her to be my wife? Is a, year and 6 half too long for an engagement? I fee as though I cannot wait another day to pop the question.
 EDWARD c. B. Answer:
 Go to it, and heaven bless you, my children! A year and half is the ideal length of time for an en- gagement. It gives you plenty of time for love-making and to really get acquainted with each other, and not enough time to wear out the romance. DOROTHY DIX.

and then she will be filled with un-
 availing regret for the happiness
 she lost and what might have been.
 I think that the woman who marries for anything but love hos no reason to draw her skirts aside from her sisters of the street. She has sold herself just as much as they sell themselves. No mockery of wedding ceremony sancti- fies mercenary marriage.
 think that the girl who marires
 just for a hOme-just for shelter,
 cheaply. Any intelligent, industri-
 ous girl can earn for herself and
 keep her personal liberty and her free heart besides.
 If I were { girl going to marry a man didn't love, he would have to en- dow me with palaces and yachts, and Ias many millions as Mir. Rockefeller has. Giving up the chance of love and TO- nance is worth that any day.
 Also, think that the girl who
 marries just for a home makes a
 dishonest bargain with the man, un-
 less she tells him frankly just why
 she is marrying him. Not many
 men want a wife who cares for
 their pocketbooks instead. of them.
 Your parents evidently hold very old fashioned ideas if they think it neces- sary for a girl to get married in order to rid them of her support. In former times fathers and mothers with a house. full of girls tried to marry them off as soon as possible and saddle their sup port upon the first young man who came along. But instead of being liabilities, daughters are assets now, for they not only earn as much money as. the boys, but bring it home, which the boys rarely dos
 The great emancipation of women
 was the opening up of the busi-
 ness world to them, so that every girl can earn her own living and
 be free forever from haveng to mar
 " for a home. No girl now need
 sell herself in the matrimonial
 market place. No girl need enter
 into an unloved marriage. Every
 girl who so desires can earn her
 own board and keep and wait
 until the right man comes along,
 instead or naV1nS 10 Joke any man

 for that women should thank God

 Dear Dorothy Dix: have family Of seven, myself and husband included, to care for. I do all my own house. work, and try to help all can to make ends meet by raising chickens, milking cows, working in the garden, canning fruit and vegetables, and oc- easionally keeping boarders.
 Yet my husband complains of how much it costs to live. Do you think the budget system would help us to solve our problems and enable us to cut down. expenses? We own our own home and my husband is capable of making $7 day.
 It hurts me beyond words to be made constantly to feel that it is my fault that our expenses are so high, and if you can offer a solution for the above problem it would be Sreately ap- preciated by

AN ANXIOUS HOUSEWIFE.

Answer:
 It seems to me, dear lady, that any woman who does the house. work of seven and then raises chickens, and milks cows, and makes a garden, and cans fruits, and keeps boarders is such a su- per-human example of efficiency and thrift that she should be tour ing the country giving, lectures on how to solve the problem of the high cost of living, instead of asking any one how she can make a nickel go a little farther. Ger tainly she knows, from actual ex- perienee, all that is to be told on the subject, and if her husband fails to appreciate what paragon of q wife he has can only, make one suggestion to her.
 And that is to resign the job of keeper of the purse to him for little while.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-05-17

Let him wrestle with the financial problem for a space. Let him ascertain by personal experience just how much seven hungry mouths can eat, and what food costs, and how many shoes and clothes five growing youngsters can wear out. Let him deal with the butcher, and baker and candlestick maker. Let him tramp the streets hunting bar gains.
 He will find out that he cannot run the family on twice what you do.
 But of all the mean little things
 that q man can do, I think the
 very meanest is for him to per
 petually reproach his wife for the
 expense of supporting a family.
 Yet there are plenty of men who
 do this, and who act as if their
 wives had eaten every particle of
 food and absorbed every bit of
 heat and light for which they have
 to pay on the first of the month.
 If a man is so stingy that he be-
 gFudges the money that it takes to
 support q family, then he should
 stay single and nurse his dimes in
 peace. Certainly it is not the fault
 of the wife that she cannot feed
 her children on wind pudding and
 that feathers do not grow on them.
 As for the budget system, I doubt if it would save an economist like you any money, but it would do your hus- band good to see how the experts pro- portion out an income. Probably, though. it will give him heart failure to find out what they think wife is entitled to have for housekeeping mOn- ey. DOROTHY DIX.

COLONIAL STYLE
FURNITURE OF !.
8 TYPES
Scroll Colonial, Post Colonial,
and American Empire Have
Varying Designs

If it is elaborate and complex. 1t
is not Colonial style. Though the
origin of the style is somewhat
vague and complicated. the style of
furniture which we know today as
Colonial is strikingly distinguished
by simple forms. When one is
battling with natural forces for
home and livelihood, the tendency is
to get down to fundamentals, to
i've simply and plainly and directly.
Colonial furniture is simple in
form; its structure is straight.for-
ward and matter-of- fact; substantial,
nothing frail about It. There is
very little establishment in the
way OF carving, and what there is
VIII be found on a broad, simple
scale. The Colonial style. as we.
know 1t today, divides itself into
three more or less uniform group
lngs according to types, and by so
Classifying. an understanding of
the different style-points will be
slmpEfied. These are the Scroll
Colonial, the Post Colonial and the
American Empire.
Inc Scroll Colonial is so called be.
cause or the prevalence Of the scroll
form throughout the design. It is
broad, bold shaping, done on a
substantial scale and Is ingeniously
employed In all parts OF the design,
usually serving structural pur-
pose. It is a shaping Of the men,
Der itself, not a carved ornament
apart from the structure of the
piece. The scroll form is made to
serve as table feet, sometimes in
elongated form for the leg itself.
1t appears in feet for the bed, and
reappears in the scrolled head and
Dashboard. Sofa ends take this
shape, as well as the termination Of
arms on chairs and rockers.
The conspicuous feature of the
Post Colonial design is the presence
or the post employed as supports
and uprights both structural and
decorative. Perhaps the most ia
miliar type Of this style is the
post Colonial bed, with the four
posters rising several feet above the
head and base-boards. The post
may be square and plain, or plain
round in form. It usually has
decorative treatments. The most
common one is the small spiral turn
ing, somewhat like reeding. Rings
and collars occasionally are en-
ployed in turning, and the familiar
termination of the post Is a carved
pineapple final.
Strictly speaking the American
Empire is not Colonial at all; it is
our adaptation of the Empire style
established in France by Napoleon.
This did not take place till the be.
ginning of the Nineteenth century.
Yet today the American Empire
furniture is popularity known as
Colonial. II n
Duncan -Phyfe, a New York cabi.
net maker, Is probably responsible
for the best adaptations Of the
Empire style to the American
usage. Phyfe Is sometimes called
the. American Sheraton because Of
his good sense of proportions. The
concave leg found on chairs and
rockers Is a feature of the American
Empire style as interpreted by
Phyfe. Not only the legs, but
sometimes the arm supports pos.
sessed the same concave detail.
