EAR MISS DIX: I have
been engaged for two
years to a young man and

~ several dates nave been
set for the wedding, but each time he
postpones it because his mother can't
bear to have him leave her. Whenever
he mentions getting married she cries
and talks about her poor, weak heart
and that it will kill her if he leaves
her. incidentally, the mother broke
of her daughters marriage in the
same way. The mother is wealthy and
has this daughter to live with her, as
her sweetheart has married some one
else. My fiance has a good position
and earns plenty to support family.
love him very much and I think
he loves me. OF course. I could wait
another year, as his mother has made
him promise to, but I am afraid she
will talk him into postponing our
marriage again. I have done every
thing to make her like me, even to
joining her church, but it does no
good. What shall do?
BEWILDERED.
Answer-Have a showdown with the
young man and tell him it is now or
never and that he will have to decide
which he cares most for-you or his
mother. 1t is no good stalling along
from year to year waiting for her to
be willing to give him up. She will
never loosen her clutches on him.
All that will happen will be that
you will waste your youth in the
weary waiting that ages a girl before
her time, that rohs her of all her
good looks, sours her disposition apd
wears out romance. Then, when you
are too old and unattractive for any
other man to want you, he will tell you
that he is terribly sorry to break the
engagement, but that mother has got
so old and feeble he can't possibly
leave her.
AAVE yourself from this fate by
- forcing him to make a decision.
II he is such sissy that he hasn't

Cooking in the Open.

For cooking in the open, two fires
often are more convenient than one.
One may be used for the coffee and
the other for roasting corn or frying

To Add Flavor to Tea.

Add a little grated orange and
lemon rind to iced tea for a delicate
flavor. A few chopped mint leaves
placed in the tea when sleeping also
give subtle taste.
