DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

right to wait for the man | love.
But my mother thinks differently,
and we are at war over this. She
says / will waste my time with this
young man, and that by the time
he is ready to get married he will
fall in love with some one else and
leave me flat.
Undecided.
What do you think?
Answer: J. think your mother is
entirely wrong, and that she is do
ing "a cruel and wicked thing in
trying to persuade you to marry one
man when you love another.
No man is Il good chance for a
girl, no matter what else he has, if
he does not possess that mysterious
something that inspires love in her.
He may be able to give her pearls
and ltmOusineS and a fine house and
all that money can buy, but he can
not give her happiness. He can
not buy contentment forsher.
The idea that marriage puts some
sort of conjure on woman that
makes her fall out of love with the
man she cares for, and transfer her
affections to another man just as
soon as he becomes her husband, is
perfect folly 1t never happens. On
the other hand, it is quite the other
way about. Blessings brighten as
they fade. The thing that we can't
have is always the thing we crave
the most, and the man you don t
marry is always the ideal husband
with virtues and charms that the
one you possess never has.
OF course, mothers all think that
they could make a better choice of
husbands for their daughters than
the daughters could themselves, but
this is not true. Love is d matter of
individual taste, and the whole hap
piness of Il woman depends on her
getting the man she fancies rather
than the one that mother likes.
Those who have to live with hus.
bands and wives have d right to pick
them out.
Certainly at nineteen a girl has
plenty of time to wait, but if she
was ninety [ would still say wait for
the man she loves.
Dear Miss Dix: l am a young
man very much in love, but | don't
earn enough money to support a
WIl6. wait 10 SET iIctll1Su 81 ds
to be sure of my girl, but ] don't
want any one to know about the
marriage at present. In order to dc
this l am planning on getting mar
ried under an assumed name. WoulC
such a marriage be legal? Under
the circumstances would the mar
riage be advisable? Would l be con
sidered a cad? And would it reflect
upon my character if ! married g
girl in that way? GEORGE.
| Answer: You said it, George. Gao
is the right word. SO is fool. A
secret marriage always reflects upor
q mans honor and integrity ant
sense and judgment. Don't marry
/ that way. No good ever comes out
| of it, and it will bring no happiness
If you cannot trust the faith anC
love of a girl before marriage, yor
cannot trust them afterward, anC
you will suffer the torrents of the
damned in jealousy when you SEE
men paying her attention, and dare
not assert your rights as a husband

At any rate, she will understand
just what she is doing, and she can
decide whether she loves him well
not. Certainly the man who mar
ries q girl letting her think that
she is to live on Easy street, and
then lands her on Poverty Flat,
isn't playing the game sQuarely. He
is taking a most unfair advantage
Of her.
Yet many men do this. In fact,
very few men ever make clean
breast of their financial affairs to
the girl to whom they are engaged.
Their vanity will not permit them
to come down to brass tacks, and
tell the girl just exactly the size
of their pay envelopes. SO they
speak in large and glittering terms
of always being able to take care
of her, and the girl puts Il generous
Interpretation upon what this
means. Also, without intending it.
perhaps, many men lead a girl to
believe that they are far better off
than they are by the lavish way in
which they spend money in their
counting days, The man always
has money for presents, for little
dinners and takes and flowers and
candy. He never seems to count
the cost of things, and the girl
jumps to the conclusion that he
will always be able to give her
these Injuries.
So she gets sad jolt. as she
often does, when she finds out
after marriage that the man was
making a plurge just to dazzle her;
that they cannot afford the movies,
still less grand opera. and that she
has to sweat out of the market
gave her, and for which he is still
in debt.
Considering that it is the wife
who has to handle the family finan-
ces, and who has to pinch and
economic to make a small income
coyer the high cost of living, you
would think that every girl before
marriage would demand to know
just exactly how much money a
man made, and what sort of a bust
ness partnership she was going into.
But most girls are not practical
minded enough for this. They have
not had enough experience with
money to know the Importance of
it. And, besides, they have deli
cate shrinking from the subject
They fear that a man will think
them mercenafy, or that he will
feel that such a question is a re-
Election on his ability to support a
family.
SO the man should volunteer the
information. 1t starts the couple
out with a clean slate, and it saves
many future denominations and
quarrelS.
Dear Miss Dix: I am nineteen,
very popular, and happy as a girl
could be. But here is my problem:
Two men want to marry me. One
is tWenty-siX, n good catch, and my
mother tries all the time to persuade
me into marrying him, although /
do not love him.
The other young man is not fl
nancially able to get married right
now, but I love him. He is studying
a profession, and will not be ready
to marry for three years or more,
and he wants me to wait for him.
