Advice to the
LoveIorn
BY Beatrice Fairfax

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I read your article the other
evening in the paper, entitled
Beautiful but Dumb" as
man described his wife. Well,
I am dumb but l fear a long
way from beautiful. When I'm
introduced to a man 1 never
know what to talk about and
Just stand there. And as I'm
not beautiful he doesn't tarry
long-what would you do for
that dumb feeling? DORA
Well, my dear Dora, as long
as you have the humor to take
this view of the situation. I
won't agree that you're dumb,
and doubtless you're probably
pretty enough. AS for talking,
read the papers. Read the sports
news in the paper in which you
read my column-talk about
baseball, all boys know about
that. Look over the "funnies."
The other day a very busy and

asked.
"Yes," the door opened an
inch farther.
"We want to see him, please"
The door invited them now,
and they entered the room. The
woman disappeared through a
door at the side, and the two
were left alone.
Tony sat down on worn
easy chair. A pipe rested on
the arm of it.
Out Of Place
The woman returned and an

ing, seated herself gingerly. Her
hands clasped and unclasped
nervously.
"Hot, isn't it?"
"Yes," she answered Tony
primly. It seemed as if he were
q stranger, someone she hardly
knew. He had taken a cigarette
from his pocket and was smok-
ing it quickly, flicking the ashes
into the empty fireplace.
What can I do for you?"
Dee started to her feet, a
flush on her face. and turned
toward the stranger who was
coming toward them, yawning.
He was in his shirt sleeves. and

that he had just been aWak'

She Looks Young
"The girl, here. doesn't look

"She's 81" Tony lied.
"You want me to marry you,
too?"
"1f you will. I didn't know

"Sure, I will, I've married

The questions were easy to

heart again, Tony grasped her
hand and held it. Dear Tony =.
With fingers that were not
quite steady she took the pen
Cymer handed her and signed
a paper. The letters she made
were shaky, palsied.
"Ready?"
Ready for what? Oh, yes. to
be married. Yes"
Cymer was hunting for some
thing in one of the desk draw,
ers. A book.
One of the witnesses
'Nellie!" he bawled, and into
the room came a stout red
faced woman, a big blue apron
covering her dress. Nellie was
to be one of the witnesses. She
was not in the least en-
barrassed. Indeed, she had
been present at dozens of
weddings before. She enjoyed
them.
where's your ring?"
Tony glanced at Dee, and
smiled. I'VE didn't buy one
but We thought we could-use
this" He slipped from his
finger big signet ring.
Cymer took it and nodded.
It'll do"
Then standing beside Tony,
her warm hand in his, Dee
threw back her shoulders, and
taking a deep breath closed her
eyes. This was her wedding,
hers and Tony's. A queer
wedding. Not like any she had
ever imagined before. She in a
sweater and skirt, her slippers
scuffed from the walk on the
beach at Put-in-Bay.

The Marry-Go-
Round
By Helen Rowland
Why Women Marry

Why Women Marry
When a woman marries a
man it is for just one reason
because the man WANTS her
to. Because he has made up
his mind to marry her!
Don't all speak at once! I
know that this is heresy. I
know it's against all the old
fashioned theories that woman
is the secret and subtle pur-
suer-the setter of traps and
snares, who "gets her man" by
a thousand wiles and gentle CO.
ercion.
I know that the great Shaw,
in his play, MAN and Super
man." has portrayed the vamp
and the man-trapper in her
most vivid colors. But Bernard
was all wrong
have watched the game.
from a distance and at close
range, and / have never yet
seen woman succeed in marry
ing the man she set out to
capture-NOT a real he-man.
In the case of a very weak
or very young man and strong
determined gel, the man-trap-
ping business may sometimes
succeed. And, sometimes, a
wobbly young man wakes up
and can't remember how or
why he married-except that
the girl suggested it.
But, while women will always
seek to catch men, the average
woman almost never captures
the man she sets out to eaten.
She always comes back from
the hunt with another "brush."
And finds herself trotting hap
PLY to the altar with a man

rying, until he broke the news
to her. put up the selling talk.
and finally broke down her
resistance.
Human nature never changes
particularly masculine nature:
There is a thick, hard-sheH
coating of resistance that covers
the masculine brain: and no
woman can convince" a man
of anything. Certainly, no wo-
man can convince any man
that he LOVES her. Or that
he wants to marry her.
A man often thinks that he
will marry girl, until he dis
covers that SHE thinks so,
too. Then his love promptly
turns to suspicion.
Nothing so encourages q
mans love as a little discour-
agement. And thing so
quickly kills his interest as too
much encouragement. Love Is
a minuet in which, when one
takes a step forward, the other
takes a step backward-and
vice versa.
I once wrote cynically, "ALL
husbands think they are prizes
but most of them are merely
consolation prizes" That is
not true, of course-because,
in spite of all our modern
cynicisn1, most women DO love
the men they marry. and be-
lieve that they have drawn the
Big Prize in the matrimonial
lottery.
But, in nine cases out Of
ten, it is not the man for
whom a woman has set her
cap that she marries; but the
man who happened to set his
heart on her, when she hap
pened to be looking the other
way. The man who was only
one OF the crowd, until he
picked her out and made up
her mind for her.
A husband is often a prize
but he is always a SURPRISE!
