Dorothy Dix Says
Modern Girl Entitled to Know
Mans Ideas on Matrimonv

and that nothing convinces him sc
surely that a woman is of high in
telligence. great discrimination and
unusual taste as for her to set her
affections on him and consider hin
superior to any other man in the
world.
Observation backs up this latter
point of view, for there are hun
dreds of men who marry women that
they didn't have the slightest inten-
ton or desire of marrying simply
because the lovelorn ladies wept
upon their breasts and sobbed out
that they would die if they didn t
get them.
And the final argument in favor
of woman telling a man that she
loves him and asking him how about
1t is that it gets out of her system
and clarifies the situation. If he
responds to her affection and has
only been too dumb to mention it.
we'll and good. If he doesn't care for
her and tells her fatty so, also well
and good. She knows where she
stands and does not need to go on
pursuing hopeless love quest.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am very
much in love with man who has
been coming TO see me regularly
for several years and who seems
to enjoy being with me, but 1 do
not know how he feels toward me
He has never mentioned love or
marriage. Sometimes l think he
loves me. because I see a yearning
look in his eyes, but 1 am not GER
tain. Shall l tell him that I love
him? PEGGY.
Answer-In the past one instantly
would have answered this question
by saying to a girl Be coy. Play
indifferent Run away from man
if you want him to pursue you. Men
crave the peach that hangs highest
on the tree. not the one that is
so overripe it is ready TO fall into
their mouths.
That advice still holds good in
many cases. There are yet pen
who get kick out of the love chase,
who want to marry instead of being
married and who are spurred into
action in courtship by being flouted.
Their ideal is Lady Disdain instead
of the girl who will fill a blind date
and whom they can pick up and
put down as they please. But, alas!
1t is only too sadly true that
in these unromantic days the ardent
Romeos who are willing to risk
their necks climbing to lady's
window for a kiss are very scarce.
The Weary Willies who let the
girls do all the petting are very
plentiful.
Besides this. woman's status in
marriage, as in all else, haS'changed.
IN the past, when husband had to
support his wife, it was. of course.
manners to wait until she was asked
before burdening man with her
board bill and shopping ticket. But
now, when a competent business
woman can not only provide her own
bread and butter, but feed her hus-
band on cakes and ale, there is no
reason on earth why she shouldn't
put the matrimonial proposition up
to a man if she wants him for a
husband.
OF course, there are those who IA
vor a girl hiding her love and letting
it gnaw upon her damask cheek.
They contend that when a man
knows that he has won womans
love he loses interest in her. That
the girls who have many dates are
not those who keep the telephone
hot and the postman overworked,
but the maidens who are hard to
get. Furthermore, that there are no
such Indifferent husbands as those
who are virtually dragged to the
altar by the hair of their heads.
But others, with equal logic, point
out that we just naturally love those
who love us, that nothing attracts
a man to girl so irresistibly as see
ing her eyes light up at his approach

Violante, Perrotti
 Years In Business
Popular Firm Marks Anniversary of Start in Local
 Business Fields, Enjoys Splendid Prestige

It was just forty years ago that Louis Perrotti and Michael Violante started in the meat business to- gether. Conditions in those years were considerably different than they are today. First quality meats were difficult to get but 1t will be remembered by the older persons that the firm which was named af- ter the two founders, Violante and Perrotti, and was located at that time on Bishop street.
 The store from the first proved popular and persons from all parts of the city would either take the street car or walk to the North End in order to buy some of the fancy meat cuts that made the firm of Violante and Perrotti so popu- lar. In fact business increased to such an extent that not many years later the owners were forced to seek larger and more adequate quarters.
 Thus 1t was that the firm moved from Bishop street and located on North Main street, where 1t still is.
 Recently the sons of Mir. Perrotti decided to have another store more centrally located than the one they had on North Main street. It was decided that the store should be located in or around Exchange place. After looking and checking over the central part of the city very carefully the brothers, Wil- liam and Edward, decided to have
