ready in the single girls family TiT5 Would
you advise me to get in the family, too?
What would you advise me to do with
these two women? They also smoke
DEAR DICK P: I would advise
- you not to marry any one at
10 years of age Spend the next few
years looking all the girls over until
you find one who hits you so hard
that no other woman has a look-in.
While think it is quite possible
for man to be in love with two
women at the same time, I doubt if
one as young as you are is in love
with either of them. You're in love
with the idea, not the women.
At 10 young mans fancy natur-
ally turns to thoughts of love.
Gradually he has been building up
an imaginary picture of woman
he one day will meet and marry.
The first woman he meets who re-
minds him in the least of the ideal
he has been building intrigues him
no end and he thinks he is in love!
Nine times out of ten he endows
the woman with graces she does
not possess. He has not learned to
analyze character. Your job right
now, Dick, is to establish yourself
in business. Are you able to support
wife and perhaps a family? Can
you pay the bills Of a household
without tearing your hair out by the
roots with worry? Think long and
hard before you load your young
shoulders down with burdens which
should not be yours for many years.
Enjoy your youth while you have
the chance. Look all the girls over
before you decide. And when you do
choose one, pick her for her good
sense and companionable qualities
rather than what she looks like.
However, have no hope that you
will take my advice. Unfortunately
for you I can't put my head on
your shoulders, and youth claims
the right to make its own mistakes.
If you simply must have one of
these women, give the married one
the air. If she cheats her hus-
band, it is a fairly safe bet that
she'll cheat you.
Concentrate on the 18-year-old
girl. She's near your own age and
she's free from ties. You'll do her
a favor to win. her away from the
drunkard.
So they also smoke! Well, what of
it? Does it change the color of their
eyes and hair? Does it make them
kind of unkind, interesting or dull,
faithful or tickle? In what way does
smoking affect their looks or char
acter? That is what you have to
consider.
Dear Jane Jordan: Have gone about
with a man for more than two years
| He is an especially interesting type
extremely intelligent. Due to a streak
of moonlight told him that I loved
him, thinking that he loved me, too
He hadn't said so, but the things he
did were the things a man does for the
girl he loves.
He told me the truth-that he didn't
love me at all. but he liked me. Hurt2
Well, rather. We decided not to see
each other again. Now 1 find that I
want him dreadfully. I would avoid the
subject beautifully. It's a first-class
cinch I'll never mention it again after
having a bucket of ice water poured
right on my palpitating left side organ.
Tell me, do you think it would be all
right?
DEAR ROSEMARY: For heav-
II ems sake, let the man alone!
Men are determined to do their own
pursuing and nothing makes them
take to cover with greater speed
than an overanxious female. My
dear child, why did you tell him you
loved him? This is an admission
which all except the most timid
men should hear from a woman with
the aid of a pair Of pliers. The
more reluctant the woman, the
harder the man struggles to win
her.
The next time your emotions trick
you into demonstrations of .affec-
ton in the moonlight, say some
thing like this: well, well, what in
the world makes me act like this
when I am not the least bit in love
with you?"
Repeat this at occasional inter-
walls if it kills you, and the next
thing you know he will be trying to
change your mind for you.
