Erikson entered the office of
Doctor Hawley September 2. 1919,

also pointed out that his wife is

Justice Hoehling held that in this

Shall She Marry Her france While He Is Poor Or
Wait Until He Becomes Successfa l?-The Small
ToaOm Girl Who Cont Scare Up A Beau-The
Girl Whose france Won't Marry Her For Years

So unless you wish to have spin
ster" engraved upon your tomb
stone shake the dust o. this Adam
less Eden off your feet as soon as
possible.
There is nothing like getting away
from home to enhance a womaa's
chances of ma.rimony anyway. Men
like change. They fall for the novel
and the unknown. They are taken
with fresh face even if it is not half
as pretty and attractive as the old
ones they know. They pay no at-
tention to Mary Jane with whom they
went to school, they don't even notice
her prettiness nor her Ncharms. They
take it for granted that she dances
well and is good sport, but they never
think of falling in love with her any
more than they do with their own
sisters.
But let Mary Jane go off to some
strange place and she suddenly be-
comes belle. Men discover that she
is easy on the eyes, that she is bright
and entertaining, and a fine dancer.
The line of attractions that she car
ries is new to them, and before you
know it Mary Jane is wearing an
engagement ring.
Most men and women marry COM
parative strangers. This should be
top to women, and when they find
themselves unappreciated at home
they should hike out to some place
where they will have the charm of
novelty. DOROTHY DIX.
Dear Miss Dix: | have been en-
gagged to man who tells me he loves
me devotedly, but that he doesn't want
to marry for. years and years be-
cause he feels as though he had not
sOwn his wild oats. He says he wants
me for a wife when he settles down,
but he is not yet tired of the company
of wild women.
think that if he loved me as much
as he says he does, he would be will
ing to give up the gay society of other
women, dOu't you? Anyway, my
pride and vanity revolt at the thought
of wasting years of my life waiting
while he goes on enjoying himself.
What do you think? LILLIAN.
Answer: 1 think the man is one
of those who never loves any one but
himself, and that he is fundamentally
self-conceited and selfish to even ask
you to wait for him while he in
dulges his taste for wine. women and
song. Why do you not break with
him? What have you to look for
ward to? A philandering husband
is curse to any wife, and surely
no woman could have more appali-
ing fate than to have to help blase,
worn-out husband harvest his wild
oat crop. DOROTHY DIX.
