Certainly her environment will be a most important thing to her, and still more vital will be the kind of family into which she marries, for her hus- bands people will be her people hence forth, their name hers, and their blood will flow in her children's veins.
 Many city-reared girls can never ad- just themselves to small town or coun- try ways, and never cease to pine for asphalt. Many girls are miserable when>taken away from their own fami- lies and old friends, and many girls who marry the sons of plain, uncul- tured parents are ashamed of their in- laws, and bring trouble and discord thereby into their marriages.

Dear Miss Dix: I am engaged to a young man who is very fond of me, and who is very dear to me, but he did not give me a ring, as we wished to save money to get married. do not care for it myself, but our friends keep ask ing me where my ring is, and as my fiance does not want me to be embar- rassed, he wishes to buy me a ring. But if he does this we would have to put off our wedding at least a year, as the ring will take all the money we have saved up to get married on.
 Should he buy me a ring now, and wait for the wedding, or should we get married, and wait for the future when he will be able to buy me one?

Answer:
 I think the man is cad, and that it is a pity he hasn't somebody to discipline him and show him where he gets off. But think he has plenty of company. There are thousands of men who talk to their wives as they would not do to any woman who had a man to protect her, or who was their own size. There are plenty of men who do not seem to think that their wives are ladies and entitled to be treated as such.

Poverty is nothing if a man has energy and initiative, and is willing to work, but without these it is hopeless. Just love isn't enough to marry on, because you will find that you are just as hungry after marriage as before; that you have to have clothes, and a roof to cover you, and un- less you have these you will be mis- erable. You will care little for the state of your affections when your stomach is clamoring for food.

If a man really loves a woman, he hustles out and makes the money to support her, so my advice to you would be to wait until he gets the home for you. DOROTHY DIX.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-15

Answer:
 Have enough courage, Nellie, to live your own life, and spend what you can afford to spend regardless of what your friends say. An en- gagement ring is a pretty, senti- mental ornament, and one that every girl should like to have if her fiance can afford to give her one, but it is the wedding ring that really counts. With that on your finger you can laugh at the girls who are still unmarried, and whose sweethearts are still paying for their engagement rings.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-15

As for marrying a man who has nothing but true love to give his wife, that is a dangerous venture, unless he also, possesses, in addition to a heart, plenty of grit.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-15

Don't think that people will laugh at you for having the back bone to do without things you can not afford. They will honor and respect you for it. And, take it from me, the poor man who doesn't go into debt to buy an engagement ring is mighty apt, twenty years later, to be able to buy his wife a three-karat solitare, while the man who buys his sweetheart an en- gagement ring on the installment
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-15

It is the high cost of loving, and the fact that girls expect their fiances to spend so much money upon them, that accounts for the growth of the old maid crop. It costs so much to be engaged that a man has nothing upon which to get married.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-15

To get married without an en- gagement ring will be a sort of emancipation proclamation. It will serve notice on your friends that you are going to start out in life according to your own honest, common-sense views and that you are going to buy only what you can pay for, and live in the manner which you can afford, instead of running in debt trying to do all the things they expect of you.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-15

It is trying to keep up with their neighbors that ruins thousahds of young couples. They feel that they have to live in an expensive house be- cause the Smiths have one. They feel they have to have costly furniture be- cause the Browns have. They feel they have no have a car because the Jonses have one. And so they run into debt and are always trying to stave off tke bill collector. Before you know 1t they are blaming each other, and quar- reling and fighting, and their happiness goes on the rocks.
