Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: I am a secretary,
% years of age. Last winter, for the
first time in my life, I met a man
who meant the world to me- He was
brilliant with radical ideas about
everything from soup to nuts, and
if 1 married him would have had
to give up my religion. my politics,
my habits, even my diet would have
had to undergo thorough change.
I was afraid that I would not be
able to make such extreme changes
conscientiously, but I was willing to
try. But he needed money and he
met woman who offered to marry
him and support him. He married
her, although I know he loved me.
I am heartbroken and sometimes I
think was fool not to have grab
bed him while I had the chance.
Then I wonder if it would have been
worth the effort. I now have the
opportunity Of marrying a splendid
young man who will make a model
husband. but cannot say "yes" to
him. Yet I do not want to be an old
maid left with the thoughts of what
might have been. Neither do want
to marry without love. My friends
advise me to take the good offer I
have now and say love will come
afterward. What should do?
DISILLUSIONED.
Answer think that the first
thing you should do is to offer up
thanks to your Guardian Angel for
having saved you from marrying
man whose every thought and idea
was antagonistic to yours. No mar
riage can be happy that is not based
on congeniality, and no love can
stand the jar and fret of constant
friction between a husband and wife
over not only the big things, but the
little things of everyday living.
You may think while you are still
under the spell of this mans per-
sonal fascination that you would be

will be best In the long run. I like
good vacuum cleaner, as 1t keeps
sand and grit out of the backing SO
that 1t wears longer. A carpet sweep
er Is excellent for surface dirt. All
hooked rugs should be washed by
hand. You may send them out to
reputable shop to have this done at
a cost per square foot, or you may do
them at home with one of the prep
arations made for this. l recon-
mend that you have them profess
sionally washed at least once in two
years, as the equipment used for this
gets deep into the foundation of the
rug, where your home equipment
will merely skim the surface.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have a tiny home with living
room and dining room off small
center hall. 1 want to have a holi-
day tea but cannot figure how
can arrange the house and furniture
and accommodate all my guests.
Would it be possible to remove all the
furniture, and if not what should
keep? MRS. M. B. H.
You might make the party little
easier to handle by having tea tables
in both the dining room and the liv-
ing room. You may remove much Of
the furniture. Place the tea table
in convenient location, with chair
or two beside it for guests who would
like to chat with the one pouring tea.
In other corners of the room have
one or two chairs with a small table
between them, to which a few will
naturally gravitate, leaving your
main floor free. With a little inge-
nuity on your part you should be
able to keep things moving, so that
your little house will be quite ade-
quate to the situation.
Questions on household fur
nishings, interior decorations, ETC.,
should be addressed to Margaret
NOVEL; in care of the Woman's
Page of The Evening Star. The

umn as quickly as space permits.

willing to give up everything for
him. But you would soon find out,
if you tried it, that you would get
mighty tired of being made the
sacriflcial goat to all of his whims
and prejudices. Moreover, it is not
possible for us to make ourselves
over at another's bidding. If we
change, ithas to come from within
ourselves. You would discover that
after you had renounced your re-
ligion and politics to please him that
you still believed in them just as
firmly as ever When you sat down
to his freak diet your mouth would
still water for the food to which you
were accustomed.
You have nothing to regret in
losing him, and you fatter yourself
when you think that he loved you
since he was willing to sell himself
to the first woman who came along
and made him a cash offer. So
have enough sense to quit grieving
after your false lover. See him in
his true light and think of yourself
as lucky girl instead of a lovelorn
maiden, shedding silly tears for a
worthless man. Be glad that some
other woman grabbed him instead
of you.
You are only %, with long time
to look about you for a husband.
Don't get in a panic about being an
old maid and rush into a marriage
that will bring you misery If you do
not love your husband. With the
memory of the one you have loved
still fresh in your heart you will be
continually comparing him with
your husband and noting how dull
and fiat and without thrills is the
feeling you have for your husband
in contrast with the feeling you had
for your sweetheart. And it will
poison both your life and your hus-
bands,

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have drawing room which has
a very ornate paper on the wall
1t seems to be impossible to use
pictures or the usual wall decora-
tions without the room looking very
much overdone, yet the solid de-
signed wall space should be broken
up. Can you suggest some way to do
this and also what to use for a
floor covering? The wall paper is
deep blue with cream and beige
figure. MRS. G. H. F.
ANSWER:
1t is possible that you could use
pictures with small decorative space
and wide mates with narrow white
frames. A group of gilt or plaster
brackets with small figures, or one
small gilt framed mirror with
brackets at either side for candles,
lights, vases or figures might solve
the problem. Sometimes it helps
to hang a drapery on the wall OF
some plain interesting fabric and
hang mirrors, pictures or brackets
against this.
Investigate the beautiful new
sculptured rugs in the antique gold
and beige shades as a rug for this
room. The design is made by one
section being clipped closer than
others.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have brand-new hooked rug
which is 9 by IL feet and too large
to be taken up easily. Different
friends have warned me that
sweeping is bad for a hooked rug
that a vacuum cleaner pulls the
knots out-so that I am beginning
to wonder if it is necessary that
clean 1t with a dust pan and
brush. Can you give me some advice
as to the best methods of keeping
the rug clean and how should it
be washed when the time comss?

BY ANGELO PATRI.

have you a child who does not
seem to understand that you are
trying to help him and goes contrary
to all your hopes for him? Does he
sulk when you correct him, argue
when you advise him, rebel when
you command him? Most children
do as this one does and the best
cure for his disease, which is moth
ing after all but childishness, is to
love him.
Have you a little girl who seems
to think that all the knowledge of
the world is bound up in her light
head? Does she storm when you
caution her, weep when you pro-
hibit her waywardness, rebel when
you insist that she take the wiser
way? Many girls do and the best
cure for their childishness is to love
them. Love the girlish mistakes
along with the girlish loveliness.
Just keep loving her.
Maybe you have an ailing child,
sick for many days with little hope
for recovery? Maybe the doctors
have shaken their heads and looked
out Of the window while they talked
to you. Keep loving that child.
Keep holding on to him, keep know
ing that in him there is a power for
recuperation, for growth, for cure.
that is beyond all human under
standing and love might bring it
out. Love cures when all else fails.
just keep loving him, keep hoping,
Keep on trying. Love works miracles
Or have you a child whose mind
lives in the shadows. He does not
grow as other children grow, plav
as they play. Love him. Hold on
TO the truth in every child no mat
Ter now deeply hidden there is
some power for growth. No child
mas ever yet been as completely de-
veloped as his power for deyelop-
ment allowed. Hope for this one
plan for him, work for him with ali
the power that love, which is infinite
can bestow upon you. Love creates
as we'll as cures.
1t may be that the child of vour
heart has gone on and left your
arms empty. You can keep your
heart full with your love for him
Keep on loving him. Nothing that
was ever created can really die. The
child lives on in your thoug ght of him
he is In every lovely thing YOU see
or feel or know. All your life is
glorif1ed by your love for him. Keen

When children try your soul. as
they will; when they cause vo,,

your anger and provoke you to
wrath, as is their way; when thew
reouce you to tears and prayers. as
o1ten happens-love them. Don't
oother about anything at all until
you have first made clear to vour-
self that your love for the child in
question is holding firmly, swelling
warmly in your heart. Then. what
