He embitters her if she has to cork
screw every nickel she gets out Of him,
or If ne denies her all the little lux
urieS that go far to make life pleas
ant because he would rather see an
entry in bank book than to see her
happy.
OF COURSE, there are girls who
are grafters and who hold up
men for everything they can get out
of them, just as truly as if they were
pointing a blue-nosed pistol at them
instead of pair Of blue eyes. There are
girls who have two or three BIRTHDAYS
year and who are always hunting for
wrist watches and diamond rings: girls
who always have to go to the best
places to dance and who can never get
by restaurant without remarking on
how hungry they are; girls who always
manage to jockey man into hot spot
where he has TO spend money on them.
But there are also girls who are con-
Siderate of a mans pocketbook and
who even prefer to go places Dutch
treat.
And there are men who have such
Yale locks on their pocketbooks that
they never take girl out anywhere.
not even to the movies. nor so much
as bring her a bag of gumdrops or a
l0-cent bunch of flowers These are
the extremes which are to be avoided
in both sexes. Most men enjoy spend
ing money on the women they like
and most women are satisfied to go to
the places the man can afford to take
them and for him to bring them vio-
lets instead Of orchids.
Only a woman, whether she be
sweetheart or wife. likes to feel that
what the man gives her he gives her
generously and wishes it were more.
Every woman wants thrifty husband
but not miserly one.

YEAR MISS DIX-We are an able
bodied couple NV husband is
employed. making good wages. but We
think we could save a few dollars each
month If We gave up our home and
went to live with our son and his wife.
They are in very moderate circum-
stances, have two little children and
their home is small. Our daughter-in-
law is a sweet girl but would she Sc
cretly wish to be alone? Would she
object to taking us in? A MOTHER.
AnsWer-The few dollars you would
save by going to live with your son
and his wife would not compensate
you for the family row you will pre-
cipitate by doing so. You are on
amiable terms with your daughter
in-law now. Stay that way by not
going to live with her. 1t is easy
to loHe people whom we. see only occa-
sionaliy. but it is hard not to get
disillusioned with those with whose
every fault and foible We are brought
into daily and hourly contact.
Of course. your daughter in-law
does not wish you to come to live
with her and, of course, she wants
to be alone in her own house with
her own husband and children and
no outsider. Every woman in the
world desires that She regards her
in-laws and even her own mother.
as an inf1iction. That is Just nature
and no reflection on either lady.
The children will get terribly on
your nerves, no matter how much
you love them. They will be noisy
and troublesome and you won't agree
with their parents about how they
are raising them and there will be
trouble enough. So my earnest advice
to you is to stay in your own home
and live your own life in your own
way. DOROTHY DIX.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am 35
years old and. as am very lone
some, I would like very much to get
married. 1 have thought of adver-
tising in the hope that I might find
some one who would marry me Kindly
advise me as to what action I should
take. LONESOME.
Answer-Use a little common sense
and try to visualize the kind of a
man who would answer an advertise
ment for a husband Men who are
fit to marry don't get their wives that
way. 1t is a lot better not to be
married at all than it is to be married
to the wrong sort of a husband.
DOROTHY DIX.
