Answer:
 Inasmuch as you are entirely in the wrong, you should be the one to make the overtures toward a reconciliation. You are wrong because you had no right to force him to promise you to quit smoking because you happen to have a foolish prejudice against it.

Dear Miss Dix: Do you think that a mother should choose her daughters husband? My mother refuses to let me marry the man love simply be- cause he is not rich. She says she does not want me to have as hard time as she did. I do not desire wealth and I like to work. Do you not think that my mother is wrong?
 PUZZLED.

An anti-tobacco wife will fight her husband every day for forty years over his pipe without any result except Irritating him and alienating him from her. And this poor, foolish, narrow woman can't see that something infinitely more important than tobacco goes up in smoke and that is the peace of the home. While she doesn't break him of the tobacco habit, she does break him of the habit of loving her.
 Believe me, my dear girl, women make a great mistake when they try to force their petty tyrannies on men and when they make men give up doing the innocent little things they like. The wise woman interferes as little as possible with a mans tastes and habits. She gives him large liberty and as consequence he does not have to lie to her nor deceive her.

Answer

If the girl really loves you and has any conception of the duties of wife she will go where your inter- est lies. The man is the bread winner, and a woman who is a good wife and a good sport will follow his fortunes, even if it leads him into foreign lands and places where the living is hard.

sharp-tongued old lady or witty dowager, according to how much I might have. Dowagers and duchesses in books seem to be able to say what they please"
 T wish I were a duchess and could retire to my estate for the summer in- stead of going to a fishing town. Where are you going, Mrs. Lewis?'
 q know where I am not going" said Mrs. Lewis decidedly. That was what I was starting to say when I spoke of damages, first. Two years ago we went to a charming place in Massachu- setts for six weeks, the only unpleasant thing about the rooms being the broken wash basin in my sons room across the hall. He didn't mind, though, saying he really hadn't seen it at first, so we said nothing. When we left we paid the bill for ourselves, but found that an item on my sons charged him with the breakage of that bowl. We had an argument with the landlord, but the train was due and we had to hurry, so we paid it." '- ''

Motor camping, as a rule, consists
of "one-night stands,' and for this
reason it is necessary that all of
the equipment be of such nature
that it can be packed and unpacked
in few minutes time, says~E. B.
Stivers, local manager of the West
ern Auto Supply Company.
AS eating is one of the most inn
portant factors of the camping life,
manufacturers of camping equip-
ment have paid much attention to
the development of stoves, cooking
sets, cooking utensils, food carriers
and like equipment. Many motor
campers carry two types of stoves;
one a two-burner gasoline stove for
normal use especially for cooking
inside the tent in bad weather., and
an additional steel wire grill and
broiler for cooking over ~ wood
fire. The better class of gas stove
comes equipped with an oven that
provides means for baking OF
! roasting meats on the tour.

do no better than provide hlmscif

BUICK WILL not
RETIRE FROM The
MODERATE CLASS

One of the most significant facts
in the announcement by Buick this
week of its standard six models is
that Buick viii remain in the class
of Builders OF moderate price ears.
Speculation was rife previous to
this announcement as to the likli-
hood of Buick's s bringing out car
that would be considerably higher
in price than any it had produced
before--a car that might be com
petitor in what is known as the eX-
elusive "fine ear field.
Those who have followed Buick S
history carefully, however, were
more or less prepared for the launch
ing of this new car which is taken
TO be good evidence Buick will not
retire from this division of the six
cylinder field it has dominated for
so many years. One reason per
haps, why this rumor persisted 50
strongly was because Buick was
first among the large volume pro
ducers to equip its cars with four
wheel brakes as it did a year ago
and likewise to introduce many 9th
err improvements of chassis and
lnes-all of which gave its ears
greater value.
In addition to four wheel brakes
these new ears have many other
outstanding features that contribute
to their responsiveness at the wheel
and their work on the road.
That Buick is not blind to the en-
thusiastic reception its large six
cylinder ears have received during
the past year may be seen from the
line of master six models which like
wise are on display this week for
thn first time.
