The Husband Who Can't Take A Night Off-The Orphan Girl Whose Uncle Makes Love To Her-The Girl Who Doesn't Allow Good -NiQht Kissing

He makes love to me and kisses me
 and tells me that he will give me
 money and fine clothes and jewels,
 and that if my aunt dies he will
 marry me. He Is about 61 years of
 age.

 I do? PERPLEXElD. Your uncle is an unspeakable das- tard and villain, my child, and your only safety lies in immediate flight. Leave his house, if you have to go to the poor house. Any girl of 2V can earn an honest living for herself in these days.
 My advice is to tell your aunt the whole story, and get her to, send you to some place of safety. She is bound to soon sense her husbands attitude toward you, and the shock of finding out that you, to whom she has been kind and good. have acted traitor than knowing that her own husband has been false to her and to every principle of honor and manhood. For there is no other crime on earth equal to that of the man who takes advantage of the ignorance and the innocense; of the affection and dependence of girl who is a member of his own household, to win her heart and to lead her into a life that can bring her nothing but shame and misery. Flee from him as you would from some venomous beast! DOROTHY DIX. Dear Dorothy Dix: go out good deal with . young man whom I like very much. We get along splendidly | together except that, every time, the | inevitible squabble about the good night kiss arises. I hate to be dis agree able after the splendid time my friend has given me, but I can't seem to make vhim understand that right and wrong have been schooled l into me so well that I can't do what will belittle me in my own eyes just because no one else will know. This young man does not believe
 that there are any girls who do not am stringing him, or trying to play | the innocent, He tells me it is be- cause I do not care enough for him. Why should he expect to kiss me? Also, why should tell him whether or not I care for him, just to satisfy
 his vanity? Tell me what to do about this fellow, as he has not
 called for some time. and I do miss him. SAD BLONDE. I think you are exactly right not to kiss the young man. A chap Is a | good deal of a cad who makes a girl l pay for his attentions by doing a thing that both he and she know
 brushes the down from the peach. For a girl who let's every man kiss
 her and paw her gets to be shop worn article with none of the deli
 cate sensibilities, none of the fresh | ness and innocence that should be- | long to maidenhood. If I were a girl, I would rather pay out my own | good, hard money for theatre tickets
 and automobile rides than to pay for
 them with my kisses.
 The only man whos has a right to
 expect a woman to kiss him or to tell
 him that she loves him is the one | who has asked her to be his wife.
 Apparently this chap has not popped l the question. He wants you to kiss
 him and to give him your heart for
 the poor price of taking you out a ] few times, which would be a bad
 bargain on your part.
 Let him go. He isn't worth worry
 ing over. And of one thing you may
 be sure. You may have lost his so-
 ciety, but you have won his respect
 and if he had any intention whatevet of proposing to you. your attitude l will bring him to the point, for the
 that every man would like to have. | DOROTHY DIX. l Copyright. 1924, by Public Ledger Company)
