Dear Dorothy Dix: I am a young man 9 years old, and am engaged to a girl of 9. Whenever I call on my fiancee and we stay at home her fla ther and mother bear us company. They always sit in the next room, but as the two rooms are all open together it is just as if we sat in one big group. We never have a minute to ourselves or say word that they do not overhear, and when we go out they are always waiting for us on our re- turn.
 They do not want us to get married until next spring, but we get so dis gusted with this treatment that we feel like getting married the next day. Do you think we should say anything to them or will it only make them worse? J. V. l..

"You are too proud to let people have the pleasure they desire-just as you would not dine at my cousins ou Thanksgiving-and would not let me arrange with her to meet you-and, as I said tonight would not let Dixon introduce his girl to you all because your pride makes you fear people are trying to be kind to you or patronize you.

It is still more of mistake to marry a woman who is your social inferior because in this country wives make the social position of the family. It is the wife who either raises her husband or drags him down in society.
 A safe matrimonial tip is to mar ry a woman you will have to live up to, rather than one you look down on, and never to marry any woman whom you do not believe to be the Only One.

have known mothers who boasted that they always help entertain their daughters beaux. They didn't have enough sense to see that pretty soon there weren't any beaux to entertain, because young men don't put on their stepping out clothes and go out to hear an old lady babble along about her trouble with servants, and what she did for .Johnny's sore throat.
 And I have known fathers who all ways sat in the back parlor and read the newspaper whenever boys called on Sally, and who snorted with disgust whenever some embarrassed youth made a particularly silly remark.

versationalist dumb. There can be no innocent skylarking and gig gling under a parents eye, and that is why the over-chaperoned girls have no beaux. As for lovemaking under fathers and mothers eye, it is not to be thought of. One of the reasons why there are 50 few marriages in these days is be- cause the modern apartment is not adapted to courting.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-16

Also a man makes a very great mis- take in marrying a woman who is his intellectual inferior because she soon bores him, and home is a dull place if one has to spend ones life narrowed down to the society of a woman whose whole conversational gamut runs from the kitchen to the nursery and back again. More than that, a dull wife is the hardest of all women to get along with because she is narrow and opin- ionated, and can never be made to see any but her own point of view.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-16

No one should marry without love. Especially no man should marry without being wildly, mad ly, passionately in love to start with, because mems affections cool off soon enough, anyway, and they should always start in on matri- mony at fever heat. Also the whole tendency of matrimony is to alienate a man from his wife. His business, his ambitions, thousand outside interests wean him away from her, and so he is apt to find matrimony a very disillusioning process unless he has gotten the woman of his desires.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-16

Answer:
 I certainly do. Every woman has an inalienable- right to her own home, where she can use her best china every day if she wants to, and place the furniture according to her own tastes. Why, to get home of her own is half what a woman marries for! She wants to get away fro mher mothers way of doing things just as much as she does her mother-in-law's. And any man who denies a woman this is guilty of inhuman cruelty.

really did not seem to be anything for me to do on that occasion but to slip him an extra bill on his weeks allow ance and worry for fear he'd got blood poisoning from the jags.
 And when he went on that all-day picnic and came home at a. m. It was not because he was idling around at dance halls as we feared-One of the boys had broken his leg and his folks were away and Willie had stayed at the hospital way over on the other side of town with him until he had quieted down and gone to sleep and he had been too busy with his good samaritan work to phone us. In the face of that, it seemed egotistical for us to rave about having our nights sleep spoiled {! When he goes to the beach swimming and doesn't get back until midnight it is because Kitty Foozle and some friends were there and Kitty was hav- ing trouble with her car and asked him Ito drive them home and way out some where near her home the car had in- ternal convulsions or sprung a leak in the left hem or something and what gentleman could desert a lady under such circumstances?
 "When he goes down town with per- mission to get a $60 suit of clothes and comes home with one for $9O, the req son is decidedly simple. It seems the tailor told him that most undoubtedly a man of his fathers penetration and business acumen would rather put a little more money into something that would last than waste goodly sum on something not quite so good. Nobody who knew anything would buy $50 suit of clothes it seems. Had not al- ways ding g-donged on the theme of sec ing that he got his moneys worth?
 And when he fatally snagged that suit on the second wearing, how was he responsible for the Gardners leaving nail sticking out at that angle where no nail had any right to be?

Why, Willie says the steer ing gear is all flooey and he could scarcely turn the car in at all, and as for the lateness of the hour, one of the fellows failed to show up and Willie had to take the fellows girl home and she lives way out in Jimtown.
