am really wrong? JUST-A-DAD.
Dear Just-A-Dad-I think your
own loneliness and need of feminine
companionShip has caused you to
idealize the fair sex. All women are
by no means the models of virtue
which you describe. Often they are
cold, calculating, selfish and cruel.
Good women exist, it is true, but in
your present state of mind you will
find it difficult to distinguish be-
tween the two. You are easy game
for a clever woman whose heart is
set on husband.
Do not be too sure that no wom-
an would marry you because you
aren't a good meal ticket. You I'M
derestimate the passion of the sex
for marrying.
I have seen women marry men
with nothing a year, not because
there was anything innately noble
in their characters, but because the
majority of women can not function
happily without husband. Get
ting married is the alpha and omega
of existence.
1t is perfectly true that men tire
of the domestic routine more readily
than women. From the earliest days
of mans cropping on earth, he was
the hunter, the fisher and fighter.
He paid little attention to keeping
the home fires burning.
Nevertheless, now do you account
for man like yourself? Here you
are, functioning as both father and
mother, breadwinner and house
keeper. 1t is true that you find
women doing the double role more
often than man. But at least you
are one man who didn't leave for
parts unknown when trouble broke,
and I congratulate you on your
courage.
Dear Jane Jordan-I go to Ripple

mother says no, because it's too far. 1t
would cost me less to go there and
have many better friends at Tech than

Mother thinks just because my brother
Brother won't change schools, because
he he thinks INKS i Tant to- He is very Selfish
Dear ri Marge-I don't think Your
brother is any more selfish in
wanting to go to Ripple than you
are in wanting to go to Tech. Each
of your family asserts his own taste,
and one is no more selfish than
the other.
There may be some advantage to
you in changing schools. If you
can prove this to your mother, she
will not balk you, for the average
mother is interested in the well
fare of her child.
The thing for you to do is to take
the question of the basis Of what
you do or do not wish to do, and
put it on a reasonable basis.
A good way is to write down on
a piece of paper a list of points for
and against the thing you want to
do. Be perfectly honest in both
lists, and admit the drawbacks as
freely as the benefits.
If the benefits outweigh the
drawbacks, show the list to your
mother. Do not act like a pouty
child when you do so, but show her
you really are growing up, and her
respect for your opinion will in
crease.
