Answer:
I should counsel moderation in
calling on the girl. Go to see her
often enough to keep her interest in
you alive and prevent her from feel
ing neglected. but do not give her
an overdose of your society. No
matter how fond a woman is Of a
man, she does not want him per.
petually under foot.
And when you go to see d girl,
don't stay too late. No human be-
ing can be interesting for longer
than two hours at a stretch. Most
of us say everything we have to say
inside Of thirty minutes. Whenever
a girl begins to look at the clock, or
smothers, a yawn, or gets up and
walks around the room to keep her.
self awake, take the hint and beat
1T. You are beginning to bore her,
and boredom is fatal to love.
AS to how far man should trust
the girl he is in love with, l should
say all in all or not at all. There
is no halfway house in faith. You
have to believe that a woman is SIN
cere and honorable and discreet or
NADS
1 should certainly advise you not
to marry a, girl unless you have per-
feet faith in her. People who have
to be watched are not worth watch.
ing.
1t seems to me that neither man
nor a woman has a right to have
his or her own way all the time.
Certainly the bossing in a family
should be a fifty-fifty proposition.
No one individual has a right to ex-
pect others to make all of the sacri-
fices and do all of the givingup.
Generally speaking, woman
should have a right to do as she
pleases about feminine affairs, and
men a right to do as they please
about their own personal matters.
and they should compromise on
things that affect them both. If
you expect to be happy though mar
ried, don't let yourself be henpecked.
Neither be yourself a domestic ty-
rant.
Dear Miss DiX-My parents are
very fond of me and give me every
thing I want, but there is one thing
that they oppose very much, and
that is my going out with boys
alone. They let me go to dances,
but I must go with my brother.
Their idea is that a girl should be
twenty-five years old before she
thinks of having any beauX.
Now, [ can't see how | am ever
going to get married if they keep
acquainted with boys if I am not
permitted to have them come to the
house or have any dates? NV father
says I must do as he says, but l
think that at twenty-five l will be
too old to attract men. What do
you think? DOTTY A. T.
Answer:
At twenty-five a girl is at her
most attractive age. She is full
blown rose instead of the bud, and
she is generally more sought after
than when she was younger, but
that is only when she has been in
the running all the time; when she
has played about with men from the
time she was eighteen.
If a girl has never been permitted
to have any masculine attention up
to the time she is twenty-five, she Is
not likely to ever have any, and
nothing short of miracle Will save
her from being an old maid.
She doesn't know how to play the
love game. She doesn't understand
the arts and graces with which WON
en- attract men. She is stiff and
self-conscious in masculine society
and men pass her by.
Your parents are doing you
cruel wrong in not letting you live
the life of a normal girl of your
day and generation, and they are
certainly b1ighting your chances OF
matrimony by not permitting you to
have dates as other girls do.
Your father is a merchant. Make
him see that he can keep a daugh-
ter on the shelf too long, just as he
can the goods that he carries in
stock. DOROTHY DIX.
