Dorothy Dix Says
Woman's Age Is Matter Between
Herself and Her Dressing Table

Dear Miss DiX--I have been going
with a girl for six months, believing
that she was two years younger than
I. Now 1 find that she lied to me
about her age and that she is two
years older than I am. l cannot get
over the fact that she deceived me
and tried to marry me under false
pretenses. and 1 don't know what to
do about it. GEORGE.
Answer-Forget it. Two years
either way in age makes no manner
OF difference in the success or failure
OF marriage. Because women mature
earlier and hence grow old faster
than men, and because a woman who
is older than her husband always as
sumes maternal and bossv attitude
toward hlm, makes it a mistake for a
man to marry woman who is much
older than he is but any difference
under six or seven years is negligible.
There have been many happy mar
rlages even when the wife was more
than decade older than the hus-
band. Congeniality in marriage is
what counts and that depends upon
SO many other things than the
calendar.
1t is foolish for you to take it so to
heart about the girl telling you
tarrididdles about her age. Probably
there isn't woman in the world who
has never yarned about how many
birthdays she has had 1t is one of
the lies on which the Recording
Angel drops a pitying tear that blots
it out. Anyway, a woman's age is a
matter between herself and her
dressing table. and it is none of her
husbands business.
Dear Miss Dix-My husband and
I married when we were 16. He is
now %. He has not had any work for
nine months and we are living with
my mother. My husband won't even
try to find anything to do. He lies in
bed every morning until 10 o'clock
and when he does get up he sits in

very much when we married, but
am getting to have a contempt for
him. What shall I do?
GIRL WIFE.
Answer-As long as your mother
supports him he will never work.
Your only chance to save him is to
turn him out of the house and make
him shift for himself. When it
comes to starving, even a lazy man
will get busy.
Dear Miss Dix-A year ago my son
got married and he insisted upon my
going to live with him and his wife
l did not want to do it, but he over
persuaded me and now his wife and
do not get along we'll together. I
would like to make a change, but I
want you to tell me if 1 should do it
and if l am too old to try it. l am a
widow, At years old. Have held an
Office position for the last 13 years
and make $25 a week. I have no
money saved because I gave my son
