Dorothy Dix Says
Foolish Wife Complains Husband Enjoys
Talking to Her Family.

RUT there is lesson and warning
- TO you in the fact that your hus-
band Is finding your father a more
entertaining companion than you are
In the days of courtship, gooey pro-
testations of affection take the place
of conversation and a thrilling eve
ming can be spent by the sweethearts
asking each other: loose duckie Is
oo?" and rs 90 awfully certain 90
loves me?" But the wedding ends
that. The petting party is over, and,
If a man still likes to talk to his
wife. she has to talk turkey instead
of sentimental twaddle.
So take the tip that is being offered
to you. sRead up on politics. Mem
orize the stock quotations. Keep up
with everything that is going on in
the world. Make yourself an inter-
esting companion TO your husband
and you won't drive him to other
people for entertainment.

NEAR MISS DIX: I am 10 years
~ old and complete washout where
BOYS are concerned. hardly ever
have a date and boys I do date are
dumb and unattractive. do not
know Just what is wrong with me.
I am good looking, have nice home,
pretty clothes, and have had an
exceptionally good education. can
dance, swim, play bridge. tennis, etc,
but I do not possess that certain
something known as cit" 1 have
always found it hard to carry on an
interesting conversation. Please tell
me what is the matter with me and
why do not attract men.
A DISCOURAGED GIRL.
Answer-If could do that I could
qualify as Mrs. Solomon. No human
being knows why men run after one
girl and run away from another when
both possess equal looks and intelli-
gence and general charms. But so
it is. One girl has dates to burn.
Another sits at home of evening with
papa and mama One girls dances
are cut into mincemeat. Another girl
papers the walls at balls. One woman
can marry a dozen times. Another
is an old maid. And why this Is
thus we cannot tell.
WE CALL this mysterious power
w some women have "sex appeal" +"
but that is answering one riddle with
another, for no one can explain in
what that consists. 1t is just some
thing a girl has, or hasn't, and if she
hasn't, it is just too bad, but there
is nothing she can do about it. No
one can say do this" or do that"
or don't do this" or don't do that"
and you will be WOW with the boys.
For we see girls doing thousand con-
Trajectory things, and some of them
win out on one line and some on
another, while the girls who under
study them fail.
We see pretty girls and homely girls
who are popular. Clever girls and
dumb girls that men flock around.
Vivacious girls and quiet girls who
never lack for dates. So 1t does not
seem to matter what girl does that
makes her a belle. 1t is just that
little gift that her Fairy Godmother
drops in her cradle or else withholdS
GO MY advice to the girl who lacks
- "it" is to cease wearing herself
out in vain attempt to attract men,
Let her forget them and center her
interest on something else. After ALL
there are a lot of things in the world
besides boys, and she can have a full
and interesting life, even II she
doesn't have some youth to drag her
around to parties ana up to the altar.
And here is a funny thing: Her
indifference often does for the un-
popular girl what her striving failed
to do. When she quits running after
men they frequently begin pursuing
her.
