Answer: Marry your man. He
shows very beautiful spirit and
is evidently worth having. Moth
ing gives a generous man more
pleasure than to give pretty clothes
to the woman he loves. So, under
the circumstances there is no hui
initiation to you in accepting the
things he wishes to bestow upon
you. Meet your big-hearted fiance
with a generosity of soul equal to
his own. DOROTHY DIN.

One of the most pathetic things in
the world is the way in which men suf-
fer themselves to be made the victims
of their grasping female relatives, who
find it easier to work dear brother than
they do to work a stranger. All of us
know dozens of men like you. Lone
some Bachelor, who, either through
the death of their father, or because of
fathers being failure, had the fam
lily dumped on their shoulders when
they were boys, and who had to stagger
along under the crushing load the bal
ance of their lives.
For when the girls grew up they
lacked the unselfishness and the
honesty to say to themselves, Brother
has already done more for us than he
should have done and we will relieve
him of our further support"

No. They didn't like the idea
of working in store of an office.
The prospect of going out and
fighting their own way in the
world cowed their coward souls,
and so they just piddled around
home doing nothing worthwhile
and let brother support them.
Yet they were bound to know
that they we're bleeding brothers

ing him from having the normal

Dear Dorothy DIX am a contented
wife and care enough for my husband
to be interested in him and to make
him a good wife. But do not love him
as a wife should. Before l married
my husband 1 loved a poor boy, who
loved me, but he had no mony on which
to get married. We would have had
to wait for many years, and my peo-
pie persuaded me that it was better
to marry the man who could take care
of me-
AS / have said, 1 am a contented
wife, and l keep myself happy just by
thinking of this other boy and that
makes my heart sing for joy. Is this
right? l am only twenty-three years
old now. MRS. A. b.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-10-16

To begin with, my dear lady, YOU
do not know what true love it, because
if you had really cared deeply for your
boy sweetheart, you would have waited
for him. The thought of giving him
up, and marrying another, would have
been so repugnant to you that nobody
could have persuaded you into doing it.

town, and catch his wife in the front
hall with her head tied up and wear
ing the apron she put on when she got
up in the morning, and get away with
it alive, why, the whole proceeding
lacks zest.
where as, if he was dead sure she
would tell him what she really thought
of him after the company was gone he
| might get a thrill out of it. She
might even be furious enough to pack
ND and go home for a week or So. You
see, a peppery wife gives man some
thing to think about in dull minutes.
Nobody ever could understand what
made Lummox Greene act SO and carry
on so scandalously when he was mar
ried to such lovely wife. Everybody
said that if there was a sweeter wom-
an on earth than Sally Green they'd
like to see her-so kind, so patient, so
agreeable when Lummox broke off the
| TIPS of her pet fern or let the canary
get away, or sat on her new hat, or
asked the Pecks to dinner when he
knew all the time the Bushels were
coming and the entire world with may
be the exception of Zanzibar knew that
the Bushels and the Pecks hated each
other like poison. Lummox might get
up in the morning and ask: What
the heck was the matter with the
darned coffee and why couldn't they
ever have something besides eggs and
bacon or Goldfish balls or sausages or
waffles or girdles cakes? Why didn't
she get some variety? Seemed to him
that when a woman had nothing to do
but plan meals and few other little
things she might have a little variety
in the menu! And here was button
off the front of his shirt Just dropped
off Why didn't she keep the buttons
sewed on! Look how this handker-
chief was ironed! And here he'd
missed his train-why didn't she see
that he caught trains when she knew
he wanted to?
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-10-16

Answer: No. When you are
married to one man it is certainly
most disloyal to keep thinking
about another one. More than
that, it is as dangerous as if you
were playing with dynamite. Soon
er or later the sentiment you are
cultivating will explode and blow
your home into smithereens.

Answer: 1t is your duty to
support your mother, but why do
you not rid yourself of your parasi-
tic sisters so that you can go along
and marry the girl you love, and
who has evidently loved you and
waited for you all these years?
Unless your sisters are bedridden
invalids, there is no earthly reason
why they should not support them

But such knowledge was never
enough to send them out to look for

rather than be the bar to the happi-

martyrdom, nor does any good come

off marrying for two years, as haven't
the proper clothes, and want to work

And so l earnestly advise all
bachelor brothers to rid themselves
of clinging-vine female relatives,
and marry and set up homes of
their own instead of running easy
money institutions for their sisters
and their cousins and their aunts,
who would be much better off and
happier if they were forced into
an honest independence.

TnIIlg 10 10.
Any woman can think herself
in love with a man. She can mag
Nifty her heart throbs until she
honestly believes she is experience
ing a grand passion, and this is
particularly easy to do about the
man to whom you are not married,
with whom you do not have to
live, and who does not vex you
with his peculiarities.
Better use some of your excess
powers of imagination on your
husband. Hold the love thought on
him for while. Idealize him a
little and forget the other man.
That way happiness lies.
DOROTHY DIX.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-10-16

You would not have traded love for
bread and butter and shelter
Now you are gratifying your fond
ness for romance by imagining yourself
in love with love that you never truly
experienced. You are dramatizing
yourself, but believe me, it is a perilous
thing to do.

JOHNSON MAY GET PLACE.
Colts Death Leaves immigration
Post Vacant

Senator Colts death leaves vacant
the Craftsmanship of the Senate i'm
migration committee. and may result
in the elevation to that post OF Sena-
tor Hiram johnson of California,
prominent figure in the recent fight
for Japanese exclusion.
Ranking next to Senator Colt
among Republican members of the
committee was Senator Sterling OF
South Dakota. but he has been de-
feated for denomination. and if he
takes the craftsmanship he can serve
only until next March 4.
Senator Johnson, who ranks after
Senator Sterling, is chairman of the
committee on territories and fnsular
possessions, and may not desire to
give up that place in order to become
head of the immigration committee
In that event the immigration chair
manship probably will go to Senator
keyes of New Hampshire.
Senator Colt, although active in the
discharge of his congressional duties.
seldom participated in debate on the
door. AS chairman of the inmlgra-
ton committee last session he yielded
to Senator Reed of Pennsylvania the
conduct of the immigration bill upon
the floor because of his opposition to
the basis for future immigration,
which was enacted into law. and also
because of his lack of sympathy with
the total exclusion of the Japanese.
