Dorothy Dix Says go
Married Life Hardest First Year
Due to the Many Adjustments

DEAR DOROTHY D1x-My prob
lem has to do with the old saying
"the first year of married life is the
hardest" Why is it that the feeling
between husband and wife goes
through some sort of change during
that time that makes it different
from the love they felt for each
other before they were married? My
mother tells me that I will love my
husband, but in a different way from
the way I love my sweetheart now.
Does every couple go through this
change? A BRIDE-TO-BE.
Answer: The old proverb about the
first year of married life being the
hardest does not concern itself with
emotional experiences, but with the
hard, cold fact that every bride and
bridegroom have to adjust them
selves to each other. and it is one
of the most painful and difficult un-
dertakings in life.
1t is true that love does change
after marriage and that husbands
and wives do not entertain the ro-
mantle passion for each other after
marriage that they did during the
days of courtship. But this is not
because they care less for each other,
but differently.

such as mother and sister wear.
Jewelry is always acceptable; tiny
lockets, bracelets and pins are an
excellent choice. So are muffs and
purses, quilted robes and good -look-
ing sweaters. We've always favored
the idea of starting a good strand
of real pearls. You know, you can
buy the delicate chain and one
pearl if you choose. adding an addi-
tional pearl at all occasions such
as birthdays, Christmas and gradu-
ations. When she's old enough to
really appreciate it, she'll have a
lovely strand of pearls, and while
they're being accumulated she'll take
delight in watching the collection
grow.
The romper age: There isn't much
we can say here, except that cuddley
toys never have been more attrac-
tive. The rage for giant baby pandas
has brought them out in all forms
and they couldn't be more delightful.
Look at the llamas, too, for they're
long legged and irresistible. Little
suits, knitted or made of corduroy,
are grand for the small gentlemen;
all types of dainty frocks perfect
for the youngest daughter.
Cousin Mary: She's the travelling
type, so buy her something that will
be of constant JOY on her excur-
sions hither and thither. Fitted
makeup kits, either those with prep
arations already installed or those
with empty bottles and jars;
travelling atomizer that is leakproof
and holds enough perfume for
weeks; a convenient billfold and key
ring, the former with enough COM
partments to hold all her identif1ca-
ton and tickets.
Aunt Emma: She's the club
woman-type who will appreciate a
fine desk calender, a small, but
effective memorandum book for her
purse, or purse itself, preferably
with room enough for her many
papers and important notes.
Uncle Andrew: He enjoys his
pipe and would love a large can
of his favorite tobacco, a new pipe
he can't have too many-or a con-
venient tobacco pouch that will keep
the contents moist and fresh. Mag
azine subscriptions to his favorite
periodicals are always welcome, but
make sure that you don't duplicate.
And for all the miscellaneous gifts
that must not be too expensive, we
suggest books, cigarettes. handker-
chiefs, stockings or socks, money
or flowers. They sound prosaic,
don't they? But often, the simplest
gifts are those most welcome, more
often used and greatly appreciated.

Foot Comfort
Is Essential
Beauty
WhenLegs and Back
Are Tired and Ache
Try Exercises
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

1t was surprising to note how
popular foot exercises were with
the many people who watched the
famous exercise demonstration given
at the Denmark pavilion of the
New York Worlds Fair last sum-
mer. There Neils Bukh, Denmark's
pride and glory, demonstrated to
the masses how to grow strong and
beautiful through corrective exer-
cising.
Foot aches and weak ankles are
corrected with simple exercises in
volving f1exion of the ankle-the
stretching of the tendon of the
Achilles is contributing factor in
correction of weak arches. Here
is a famous series of Bukh move
ments, designed to give you greater
foot comfort.
For these exercises stand with
your feet from to 8 inches apart.
Raise the heels from the floor, con-
centrating the weight of the body on
the balls of the feet.
l. Roll gently packard and for
ward from the balls to the heels
to timber the foot.
2. Stand on the outer edges of
your foot, toes curled slightly in
ward. Walk forward six steps and
backward six steps, in this position.
1hen combine exercises one and two
and DO them to music rhythm. Five
minutes should be spent this way.
3. Rise on your toes and then drop
to your heels. Repeat this to a one
two count at least 10 times. Then
walk around the room several times
on tiptoes with perfect rhythm in
your pace.
4. Now place one foot diagonally
forward about two foot lengths. Dis
tribute your weight evenly on both
feet. Roll gently forward and back
ward by rising on toes and dropping
to heels without bending your
knees. Do this about 20 times and
then change position and put back
foot forward and repeat.
To get full benefit from these cor
receive exercises you must do them
in rhythm. Do them to a record or
music on the radio. Feel yourself
swaying as If they were dance steps.
Let your body swing as you roll or
walk.

columns advice as final, and per-
haps some Of your readers will be
interested and care to offer their
suggestions.
by her own admission, my friend
is the type of girl who enjoys lavish
entertainment. I make a particular
effort to order the cheapest meal on
the menu, to suggest the least ex-
pensive movie, or to curb the ex-
penses of an evenings date in any
way possible. I do this continually,
both in consideration of my escorts
finances, and because I actually en-
joy these simpler things as much
as more luxurious entertainment.
my friend maintains that I am
giving young men the impression
that I am unaccustomed to being
dated. She also thinks I offer my
company too inexpensively. So we
want to ask you the following ques-
tons, all of which my friend answers
in the affirmative, while I give mega
tive responses.
Il. Is it wrong or indecent of a
young lady to suggest a Dutch treat
date If she knows her escort is
financially bent, or that his personal
expenses have made it impossible for
him to spend impressively? (My
friend believes this wounds a boys
dignity no end0
%. Shall we brand a boy cheap if
he does not show young lady as
expensive an evening as another,
who may have approximately the
same allowance or income?
90. Should a young lady take
offense if she does not receive a gift
or corsage upon occasion?
"A. Is it erroneous to lend an escort
money if circumstances should sud-
denly prove embarrassing? my
friend says the boy should not take
a girl out unless he is certain that
he can meet expenses
IS. Should we accept an expensive
gift from a young man whom we
consider no more than a friend. but
whose company we have enjoyed on
several dates?
Now, will you be good enough to
declare the victor?"
LILLIAN (the writer
and HELEN.
That's quite a quiz, girls! We
would need double our allotted space
to cover all the angles on some of
these questions, but we'll do the best
we can in few paragraphs. Here
are our answers:
l. Unless couple is engaged, or
going very steady" we don't favor
Dutch treat dates. Your friend has
the right bunch here, and we have
to decide in her favor on this point
2. Since when can the pleasure OF
an evening or the value of friend
ship be measured merely in dollars
and cents? It's not what boy
spends that counts-except to the
out-and-out old-digger-but the
way he treats you and the fun you
have on date with him. Oul
verdict favors you on this point.
3. Take offense? That's hardly
the word. She might be disap.
pointed or puzzled, or a little hurt
Corsages and other gifts are nice
gestures and we think most boys
should be little more free with
them when their finances permit
But we'd never consign an other
wise good egg" to the kennels
merely because he hadn't learned
that girls love to be remembered
with such tokens of esteem. How

ever, we don't believe q boy should
neglect these things completely, so
we'll have to give your friend
shaded decision on this question.
4. Lending money isn't a wise
policy for many reasons, and GER
tainly the boy who chronically bor-
rows from his date should be re-
garded with very dubious eye. But
in real emergency, why not? It's
better to lend Joe So to buy a new
inner tube than it is to abandon
the car and walk 10 miles home.
After all, no boy can foresee every
money consuming circumstance
which might occur on a date. You'll
simply have to use your own good
judgment on this point, but our ver-
dict favors you on the question as
you have phrased it.
5. No-and that's definite! Ex-
pensive gifts imply closer relations
ship than that of a mere friend
with whom you have had several
dates. No boy who knows his way
around would offer costly presents
under such circumstances. And if
a girl gives the impression that she
expects them, or would willingly
accept them if offered, she runs the
chance of labelling herself either as
indiscreet, or as gold digger. You
win on this count, without a
struggle.
Summing up. we find that you
have come out of the argument"
somewhat better than your friend.
But we think an attitude midway
between those which you two girls.
apparently hold, would come closer
to being ideal

financial considerations can be i'm

price tag on boy and girl relations

Mother: She's been anxious for
. lovely strand of pearls-not the
honest-to-goodness kind, but a
splendid string of cultured ones.
Be sure to see the exhibit of these
in one local shop; they even have
an expert to help you select the
best in almost any price range. She
has wanted a bed jacket, too. and
will probably prefer lovely quilted
one, perhaps with Upper fastening.
Buy her something nice and extrav-
agant-she deserves it.
Father: He won't mention it,
probably. but he has had his eye
on a good looking desk set. A lovely
pen holder, matching ash tray and
electric clock makes an ideal and
practical outfit. Then he can show
it off to the men in the Office, boast
ing proudly that his family certain
ly knows what a man likes. Don't
buy father gadgets.
Brother: He's in college and
wants to 60 back with some of the
snappiest presents of any man in
the frat house. A camera is a
splendid suggestion and he'll get a
kick out of taking it back to school.
A portable radio and photograph
is grand idea, and you can get
them in a variety of sizes and prices.
Talking with some of the college
age men about town, we found them
also in favor of wallets, but the long,
narrow type which fit into inside
coat pockets and fold into three
parts. They go for big rings, not
too ornate; pajamas and scarfs,
both wool and dressy silk types-to
mention but a few of the items.
Sister: She's a career girl, now,
all wrapped up in her duties as a
secretary. She'd be delighted with
a makeup kit to keep in the desk
drawer for freshening up after hours.
For her dating pleasure. buy good
looking engagement book-we mean
q really nice one. Naturally, she'll
adore such things as costume
jewelry, evening accessories, lingerie
and all the other luxuries.
Young Fry: Younger brother has
probably got his eye on ice skates.
Since the increased popularity of
the sport, this is one of the biggest
items on many a boys Christmas
list. Owing to a certain popular
team, no doubt, among the best
sellers this year are footballs and
their accessories. Small fellows like
all sorts q sports equipment, as well
as building sets and other ingenious
toys that help to develop magma
ton and initiative.
Little sister: Besides her games,
books and other toys, the younger
ladies are very very fond of articles

If you take a woman's size, and
want a tailored dress for everyday
wear that's at once practical and
youthful, you can't do better than
to choose this new shirtwaist style.
The bias skirt has charming swing
to it. The fitting is all by means of
simple darts-four at the waistline,
front and back, two on each shoul-
der, and five on the tops of the
sleeves to make them smartly out

After Moldine Dough

When yeast dough is ready for
molding, divide into portions for
loaves or rolls. Form each portion
into a ball and allow to "rest" for
10 to Is minutes. This rest period
improves the shape of the rolls and
loaves, because the dough RECEIVERS
its resiliency after being punched
down. The rolls, therefore, are easier
to handle and will retain their
shapes.

But If man and woman are of
the right stuff. when this romantic
love goes something million times
better comes in its place. and that
is friendship and a comradeship
that lasts to the end of their lives.
The man sees his wife's little faults,
but they are so far overshadowed
by her great virtues that they do not
matter to him. Her youth goes. Her
beauty goes. She may not have the
time or money to keep herself dolled
up. But in her old, bedraggled
dress, with her hair awry, with her
face lined with WEAKNESS and anxi-
ETY. some morning after she has bent
all night over his sickbed minister
ing to him, she looks more beautiful
than she ever did when he was
counting her.
The woman perceives her husband
as he Is, just an ordinary. common
place man without anything pictur-
esque or romantic about him. He
has his weaknesses, but she loves
them just because they are his, and
when she thinks of how good he has
been to her and how kind and how
he has stood between her and the
world, she wouldn't trade him of for
all of the Robert Taylors and Clark
Gables in the world.
And that is the change. my dear,
that comes over love during the first
year of marriage. It is when love
settles down from the froth of ro-
nance to the reality of friendship
that it is worth having.

TheCharacter
Of Child's
Family
Criticism Should
Never Be Made
Before Him
Family
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Children have an innate loyalty
for their parents that all good peo-
pie would do well to respect. 1t is
not decent to criticize a child's
father or mother in that childs
presence, and if one does so one
invites an angry ana forceful re-
Spouse, and deserves it.
There are people, who, when a
child offends them, hurl the family
black sheep at his head. Huh.
What can you expect? Old Man
Skinny will never be deai while
you're alive" Old Man Skinny being
the worst possible example of family
character possible to bring up.
There are other people, who should
know better. who say with an up
lifted eyebrow, 20, your father says
so, does he? And since when did
anybody care about what he said?"
Never mind what your mother
thinks. Her thinking isn't of any
account, anyway. What she doesn't
know would fill book" That does
no good and it does a lot of harm.
No child has any regard for the
person who talks that way to him
and he will remember with lasting
dislike the one who said it. A childs
loyalty goes deep, and it is a blum
dering person who offends it.
This question always brings the
picture of Abe and Tom to my mind.
They were two big handsome lads
about Is years old when they were
dismissed one lunchtime bit earlier
than usual. They waited on the
corner for the rest of the school to
come out and as they waited dis
reputable old man staggered across
the street.
Tom poked Abe and said, There's
your old man. The old bum"
Abe looked at the old and helpless
creature, went to his assistance and
set him safely on the far side of the
street, Tom jeering gleefully all the
while. Abe faced Tom when he
crossed the street again and said,
you called my old man a bum?"
Yeah. Want to make something
out of it?"
The two fists shot out simulta-
neously and the two were having a
royal battle when the yard teacher
arrived and yanked them apart.
whats the matter with you two
idiots? What's the matter, say?"

The two fell in step and headed

but you said he was, didn't you? And
