Dorothy Dix Says
Every Girl Likes to Be Wooed
According to Her Moods.

who are fascinated by men who are
roues. and others who 60 down like
ripe wheat before preachers. There
are girls whose interest Is piqued by
a man having all the other girls crazy
about him, and other girls who prefer
q man they won't have to keep their
eyes on. And 50 it goes. Each girl to
her liking. However, although every
girl wound undoubtedly like to have
the type Of courtship she has always
dreamed about. she does not turn
a deaf ear on the other kind.
nEAR DOROTHY DIX-My hus-
band Is . morning crouch. Even
if there is nothing to crouch about,
he can find something that happened
days or months past to gloom over.
All Of us live in dread Of it. Even
the children whisper in the mornings:
Us Daddy mad today" After break
fast is over he begins to get over it and
cheer up and be amiable. But by
then he has upset all the balance of
the family. Naturally. am one who
connot stand by and not say word
back, so every day begins with a row.
Outside Of this my husband is one
of the best. Is there any way In which
TO cure this? A PUZZLED WIFE.
Answer-The remedy is in your own
hands. The treatment plainly indi-
Gated Is to administer cup OF good
hot coffee to your husband before he
gets up in the morning. The reason
he is cantankerous in the morning Is
because he has that sort of . gone
feeling that most of us experience
when We first wake up that makes us
want to kick the cat, spank the baby
and snarl at anybody who wishes us
good morning.
But brace him up with q cup of
coffee before the grouches get him
and he will feel so stimulated and
cheered that even a child can handle
him. Then you can safely tell him
that your mother is coming for .
good long visit and present him with
the household bills. In the highly
civilized part Of the country In which
I live the early-coffe -in-bed habit is
universal and the divorce rate Il cor
respondingly low.
Then the next solution Of your prob
lem Is for you to exercise some self
control and not talk back when your
husband starts his grouching. It Is
q temptation to give him as good as
he sends, but it Is dangerous pastime
for 4 wife.
Fight with your husband any other
time Of the day rather than at break
fast, because he goes from the break
fast table to his ONCE to be met by

- back was passionately in
love with one of the finest young
women that God ever created. She
responded SO spontaneously and COM
pletely that for more than eight
months We literally lived in Paradise.
Then, without any reason whatever.
she told me that she was no longer
in love with me and gave me the
air. The only explanation that I
could find was that I had probably
been too tender and consistently the
lover Later on I fell in love with
an equally attractive girl. but profiting
by my past experience I curbed my
emotions as tactfully as possible. yet
treating her tenderly and making her
sure of my affections. Instead of this
making q hit with her she accused
me of being cruel and brutal and
parted from me in tears. saying she
never wanted to see me again. So
my score is two attempts, two losses.
have tried all the plays know.
What can = poor man do?
A BEWILDERED LOVER.
Answer-Your technique WAS good.
but the trouble seems to be that you
used it on the wrong girls. Evidently
your first sweetheart possessed no
sweet tooth. 20 she soon got fed up
on soft talk. What she craved was
the caveman style Of wooing. 40 II
you had treated her rough and grabbed
her by the hair of her head and
dragged her of to your lair, she
would have been yours.
No 2, unfortunately. belonged to the
gooey school of girlsl the kind who
want to be babied, petted and told
over and over again how beautiful and
wonderful they are; how you would
kill yourself should anything ever
come between you: how when you are
married, they shall never do anything
but just wait for your coming home of
an evening, and 30 on ad infiinitum
and ad nauseam. They just simply
lap up all the hattery you can hand
them and ask for more. They think
you have ceased to love them and are
horrid brute If you ever try to get
down to earth and q commonplace
topic Of conversation.
So there q man is, when he goes
a-wooing. He has to adapt his line
to the girl to whom he is trying to
sell himself. There are girls who fall
for the lord-and-master type Of man
who orders them around, others who
want a man to be their slave. There
are girls who like men who monologue
about themselves, and other girls who
like great. silent men whe let them
do all the talking. There are girls
