DEAR COLUMNISTS: My sex
doesn't hold a monopoly on gold
digging. Some fellows are masters
Of the art. When girls invite them
to parties and dances they never
think Of reciprocating. That. to
me, Is stinginess, which comes
mighty close to gold-digging.
What's a girl to do about a boy
who is content to sit and talk eve
ming after evening? Once in a
while, in sudden burst of gen.
erosity. he'll consent to take her
Tor q short ride. I've been dating
such q boy for about four months,
and during that period he hasn't
taken me to movie or even to the
corner drugstore. He gold digs"
my time and expects me to do all
the entertaining.
When we're on double date, it's
even worse and more embarrassing.
If the other boy suggests a movie
or stopping somewhere for mex
pensive refreshments my friend
quickly vetoes the nice idea with,
'No-not tonight"
This fellow isn't always broke.
He has as much money rs other
boys; he can afford to spend a
modest sum once in q while. Al
though I like him pretty well, the
situation Is getting awfully tire
some.
Won't you drop a hint in your COL
umn? Then, perhaps. the manly
masculines who are willing to take
and take. but never are willing to do
their share, will wake up and re-
form. Bill.
We think B I. L. has the patience o.
a loving mother. Girls have some righ

For several months I've been see

Dorothy Dix Says
Mother Usually Picture of What
Daughter Will Be in the Future.

Said an old man to a young one: !:
Pick out your wife by her mother,
son. Before you ask any girl to &C
company you to the altar take a good,
long, careful squint at her mother,
for as the mother is at 45 or 50. so
in ninety mine cases out OF hundred

mother is a closeup Of daughter at
middle age. See If you like the pic
ture.
IF mother is fat, dull-witted and
tiresome. don't take on daughter IS
a life companion. or else you will be
bored to death. But II mother in her
forties is alert and up-to-date: If she
reads, is broad-minded, tolerant and
jolly good company, daughter is =
safe bet as a wife who will always
keep you amused and entertained.
"Also, observe mothers housekeep-
ing. II she is sloppy and slovenly;
If she is bad cook and a wasteful
manager; if meals are never on time
and the garbage can overfows, then
make a getaway while the going is
good. For daughter knows no other
sort OF housekeeping. She has been
bred to no traditions of neatness and
order and thrift. She doesn't know
good food when she sees it and she
will poison her husband on her bis
cult, and throw more out of the back
door with a teaspoon than he can put
in at the front door with a shovel.
Likewise take note Of how mother
treats her husband. If she hen -pecks
him, beware. II she shows him no
consideration or tenderness, pause,
look and listen. If she regards him
as merely slave to toll for her behoof
and benefit, fee for your life, for that
is the way daughter has been taught
to treat husband. But If mother
is still a sweetheart to her husband;
