ute would have to be hell-bent on
matrimony. A woman marries to get
a husband who loves her so well
he is tender of her and feels so
chivalrous toward her that he de-
sires to protect her and stand be-
tween her and the hardships of life.
If a man doesn't feel that way
toward a girl, if he doesn't want to
roll up his sleeves and go to work
for her, and if he doesn't love to
give her things, he not only doesn't
give her what she expects of mar
rage, but also he gives her rotten
business deal.
Your hard-boiled lover, for in
stance, has warned you that if you
marry him that you will have to
support yourself, and in addition to
that he will expect you to do the
cooking and housekeeping and
washing and ironing, all of the work
that the domestic wife performs.
And you will be lucky if the tight
wad doesn't expect you to pay all
the grocery bills besides.
The only thing in favor of your
boy friend is that he seems to be
honest. He has given you fair warn
ing that he will make the worst hus-
band in the world. and so If you
marry him your misfortune will be
on your own head. Marriage with
him won't be lottery 1t will be a
gyp game in which all the cards will

Puzzled" wants to know about
tipping the servants in the home of
your weekend hostess. She had
read somewhere that young girls
are expected to give the servants a
dollar apiece, and that adults are
expected to come across with two
dollars per servant. She, as hos
tess, is inclined to think it an
insult to her and burden to her
guests.
She has something there. My
feeling is that the rule as she has
quoted it is not for the likes of
most of us. It's geared to weekends
where the guest arrives on Thurs

drawn. his evening clothes pressed
and laid out, and his shoes shined

but experience only in hotels.
But of course I don't mean that
we should never tip, even if the
homes we visit are simpler. When
the maid does something special for
us, or when we are steady guests,
a gift of a dollar once in awhile
shouldn't upset the hostess too
much-and I'm sure the maid would
appreciate it. JEAN.

these practical, moderately priced
garments with that casual feeling.
More feminine and fragile are the
slipper satin robes with dainty pulled

choice for a trousseau or for those

'does things" for your figure, this
is a type that is not only new and

long searched for something start

Even the young matron who is 5

usually eliminate the need for alter

We're in favor of these rather than
the familiar boudoir styles, except
for those rare moments when you're

You will also recall our recent
letter from Canadian soldier. ask
ing us if we couldn't do something
about the attitude of contempt
which he believed many girls held
! toward a uniform. Later we dis
cussed this matter with a Reserve
officer who is also the editor of a
newspaper located in a city near a
large military base.
Its true that many girls in this
city won't have anything to do with
enlisted men," he admitted. There
are two reasons for this situation
and I don't see how much can be
done about either one of them.
The trouble is that in small city
located near large Army post or
naval base. uniforms are a dime a
dozen. Suppose you turn 10000 OF
$4,000 soldiers or sailors loose in a
city of 100000 population. How
can you expect girls to think there
is anything unusual or glamorous
about a uniform?
IT'S different when an enlisted
man visits a town far from a mill
tary concentration point. Then his
uniform is distinctive, and you won t
find that attitude of contempt.
THE second reason for the situa-
ton is the sharp social cleavage be-
tween officers and enlisted men
Girls in this town, If they have
any social ambitions at all, won't
go out with enlisted men because
if they do, officers won't go out with
them! And since it's every girls
aim to get to a dance at the officers
club, she's not going to ruin her
chances by making friends with the
boys who don't have commissions. "
Those explanations throw a good
deal of light on the problem brought
up by the Canadian soldier And
we agree with the editors opinion:
There isn't much that can be done
about it. 1t would be difficult to
maintain discipline if officers and
men mixed too much together. and
discipline-not social equality-is
the key to military efficiency.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Man Will Not Change His Traits
For Better After Marriage

Dear Dorothy Dix: A man has
asked me to marry him, but he
has such queer ideas of marriage
that I am in doubt as to whether
or not his love will last. He says
getting married is like buying a
lottery ticket. 1t is all luck whether
you draw a prize or blank. He also
says that his wife must keep her
job and work after marriage. I re-
fuse to do this, as I think that if
a husband is in a position to support
his wife he should do so. This ag-
gravates him and he says that his
wife had better not ask him for any
thing because she won't get it. She
won't have anything unless she
works for it. What do you think of
this man as a possible husband?
K. M.
Answer don't think he is pos
sible at all as husband, because he
seems to have none of the senti-
ments that should animate a man
who is asking a woman to be his
wife. We expect the would-be BRIDE
groom at least to put on an act and
assure his lady love that he shall
spend his life adoring her and pro-
tecting her from every harsh wind
that blows, and that her lily-white
hands shall perform no task harder
than soothing his weary brow. And
when, instead of doing this, he bru-
tally informs her that he will as
sumo no responsibility for her, and
that she will have to rustic her own
grub, it makes us wonder why he
wants to marry and what led him
to believe that any woman would
want to marry him?
Certainly no prospect could be
less alluring. and any girl who
would even consider it for a min

ChildFrOn
Studying
Parents Should Be
Cooperative to
Full Extent
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Louise was studying for tomor-
rows test in history. She must get
high mark to make the honor roll
and being on that list was a matter
of pride with Louise. Hurrying in
from school she changed her dress,
did her chores and went to her
room, closing the door for greater
privacy.
Mother soon missed her and al
though Louise had told her about
the need for study, she opened the
door and looked in saying, Did
Honey call this afternoon?"
Louise looked up with dulled eyes,
her mind set on the causes of the
World War and shook her head, not
in answer, but in protest. Mother
did not notice the protest and went
on: Should have thought she
would, wouldn't you? She hasn't
been in for a week. I wonder if
the baby is all right? Think maybe
you'd better run over and see?"
my goodness, mother, I told you
I had to study this afternoon and
tonight. How can I get anything
done with you constantly interrupt
ing me?"
Goodness, don't fly at me for
nothing. How did I know you were
so cranky? Can't a person speak
to you? My goodness"
you saw my door shut and that
ought to be enough. I can't con-
centrate on my work with people
popping in and out of my room for
no reason at all. Please let my door
stay shut when I shut it,"
Cali right. Next time I speak
to you you'll be glad of it. I never
would have thought that a child
of mine would talk to me as you
have today and when your father
comes home I'll certainly tell him. ~
That's too bad When children
seek privacy they should be per-
mitted to have it. 1t is impossible
for some children to study when
people are moving about and talk
ing to them. Study needs concen-
tration as Louise pointed out, and
surely they should be offered every
help possible to obtain it.
Some parents and relatives seem
to think that a child is overstep-
ping his limitations when he closes
the door of his room. 1t is quite
all right, of course, for adults to
close a door upon themselves be-
cause they need quiet and privacy
and freedom from interruption, but
children, why should they need any
such protection? Aren't they young?
They are young and youth has
many a trial, many a tear and has
much need of peace, privacy, 81
lence. They do not ask too much
when they ask that when they
shut door, it remain shut until
they open it. That seems to me
to be exercising a right that any
human being may justly expect to
have respected.
