Lamb Is One of the Best Bets for Those Trying Stick Bulge
Dorothy Dix Says
Develop a Winning Personality
For Capturing a Husband.

~ EAR DOROTHY DIX: Please
tex me how can get myself
good husband. I am 18
- years OF age, a pretty blond
and have good disposition. All my
friends tell me I will make q swell
housewife for the lucky guy who mar
ries me, but haven't got the man.
What is the best method Of getting q
husband? ALICE.
Answer-f I could answer that
question, Alice. would rank among
the major prophets and seers and the
grateful members of my sex would
build me monument that would
reach the skies. For all women want
to marry, and what they want to know
more than anything else on earth is
how to get their men, but nobody
knows what to tell them.
There is no cut and dried, follow
this-rule-and-you-cannot-fail recipe
for getting man as there is for max
ing sponge cake, because so many
different factors enter into the hus-
band chase and the results depend so
much upon luck. The boy whom you
have grown up with and who has
never noticed you suddenly wakes up
to the fact that you are the only one
for him. Or you 60 on visit and
snare a perfect stranger. Or some
man falls in love with you because he
likes your new hat. Or any one OF
thousand other contingencies may
start you on the road to the altar.
Certainly it would be a great bless
ing to girls If they were free to 20
out and pick out their mates as boys
are. 1t Is terrible handicap to have
to work under cover and try to con-
vince some lad upon whom you have
set your eye that you are the girl he
has been looking for, instead of hav-
ing the privilege Of going to him and
giving him a knockout sales talk about
what a good cook you are and how
economical and how happy you will
make him.

RUT as things are what they are. the
only thing that girl can do who
wants to marry is to put herself in
the attitude. to receive the blessing, as
old-fashioned Methodists used to saw,
This consists in making yourself as
good-looking as circumstances permit
and in being pleasant and amiable,
agreeable and entertaining. For the
things from which men shy of most
are sharp tongue or a Dumb Dora
who bores them.
1t helps a girl lot If she has a
mother who will lend her a hand by
making the home attractive and CIV
ing the young people cordial well
| come. You have to tote the boys into
your house before you can snare one
out of the crowd. 1t is folly to fish in
stream where there are no fish, so
If you want to marry go where men
congregate. There is no better plan
| than to get job in q business office
where propinquity has chance to do
its deadly work.
If you have given the home town a
| reasonable trial without results, shift
your operations to a different en-
vironment. The men you have known
all your life are so accustomed to you
that they don't see you at all, but II
you go among strangers you will at
tract attention. Also your old bag OF
tricks will be new and potent. Observe
how often girls marry away from
home
However, at 18 you don't need to
worry about getting married. You have
lots Of time in which to turn the
trick. Moreover. in being a good cook
you have excellent bait. Just dangle
it before some overweight lad who
loves to eat, and you will catch him
