Dorothy Dix Says
Successful Marriage on Small Income
Demands Grit and Character

EAR MISS DIX-A year ago
some one wrote you asking
how q boy of % could get
- married on SIS a week and
pay $24 = month rent, to say nothing
Of food, fuel. clothes and the other
expenses incident to running q home.
You thought it could not be done
without his family coming to the res
cue. Well, my wife and I have done
that thing and have just celebrated
our first anniversary without help of
any kind. We are still going strong
and glad we did it. We have escaped
all the pitfalls that you pointed out.
We have had plenty to eat. Much bet
ter food than had in any of the
boarding houses where I stayed before
was married. We don't get tired of
looking at each other. We 20 places
and do things, but we find that we
enjoy staying at home more than
anything else We haven't gone shabby
and we haven't had to ask each other
how are We going to pay the rent or
stave OF the grocer. Maybe We did
get married on q shoestring and took
long shot at happiness, but If we had
waited until all the risk of a financial
flop was over We would have both been
in our graves before the minister could
have united us. We have proven to
ourselves that any one who is healthy
and has the determination can marry
on SIS . week and make a 20 Of it.
PHILIP.
Answer: I am glad to publish this
heartening letter that shows where
there is will there is a way OF max
ing . success Of marriage. even if
there Is very little money in the pock-
etbook, and the cupboard isn't stocked
with filet mignon and truffles. After
all. this young couple who started out
poor In money but rich in love and
courage did only what most of our
fathers and mothers and grandparents
did.

MOST of them also married on
~ shoestring and went to live in q

Usually the tea service and nat
silver are given by a member Of the
bride or bridegroom's family, and Of
course the bride should be consulted

life, and should be what she wants,
within the price range Of the giver.
The tea services run from the very
fancy Kinks repousse, through more
simple Georgian and Colonial styles
to the perfectly plain, but smart,

different designs from which to select
They range from the very ornamental
to the absolutely plain "Wadefleld"
and "Old Maryland" There is also
the famous King" pattern which
has been popular for many years.
THE Continental pattern, product Of

new in design, and should be

The fiat silver is plain, made on

OF them made fortunes. People then
didn't wait to have a competence to
get married, and they didn't expect

but they are not. 1t isn't that times
are different. 1t is that boys and
girls are different. They are not will
ing to do the work and make the
sacrifices that their parents did in
order to marry.
That is why it isn't safe now for a
girl and boy to marry on nothing
but love. Their love doesn't last
when they have to do without car

Of today lack these qualities. They
are too soft. They can't take it.

Making Canapes

When making canapes, 1t Is ad-
visable to toast the small bits OF
bread first and then spread with
butter to give flavor as well Is to
prevent the topping from soaking into
the bread. Often canapes can be
spread Just before serving. Some
times they are spread In advance, then

Old Year Out and
New One In

A loud and noisy welcome was ac-
corded by Henderson to the New
Year 1887 last midnight at the same
time roaring a farewell to the old
year 1885.
There were a number of private
parties that lasted until after the aa-
vent of the new year, and many peo-
pie sat up to await the hour of the
coming of 1887 There was no formal
celebration, however, and no set
dances or public gatherings of any
kind, other than the event at the Hen
derson high school, which broke up
al out the hour Of midnight.
With the striking of the hour of
midnight, whistles cut loose in many
parts of the city, and church bells
were rung. Automobiles raced through
the streets in many instances, with
horns footing and other noise-making
devices in action.
From shortly before the stroke of
II until half an hour or more later
there was a din of fireworks in al
most every part of the city. Cele-
brationists had either saved a supply
from their Christmas purchases or
laid in new stocks from the fireworks
stores in and near the city. At any
rate, there appeared to be plenty of
them.
In many homes the radio brought
in the noise and shouting of New
Years eve celebrations in New York
and many other cities throughout the
country.
Citizens watched the old year die
with gratitude in their hearts for the
good things it had brought, and well
coined the new one with hope and
optimism of better times still to come
in another twelve-month period.
