veys by the American Institute.
Cities of more than 500.000 in
habitants show a Democratic de-
lection of more than Ia percent
age points since 1896. The shift Is
particularly striking in New York
and Chicago. In Chicago. which
voted two TO one for Roosevelt
four years ago. the Institute poll
found Roosevelt leading Wendell
Willkie by a margin of only one
per cent today.
However, Roosevelt carried the
big city vote by such large mar
gin in 1896. even with the defee-
ton, he still runs ahead Of Will
kie in the large urban centers.
The poll was conducted on the
question. IF the election were held
today, would you vote for Roose-

Those living in cities Of SOC, 900

Dorothy Dix Says go
Sensible Girl Doesn't Want Boy
To Spend Too Much Money

Dear Miss. Dix: Isn't it heck of
q note nowadays that young man
has to spend thousand dollars in
order to win wife? A young fellow
of the middle class like myself must,
in order to get a wife who amounts
to anything, spend from $500 to S700
on car and the remainder of the
thousand dollars on gas and oil,
clothes and show tickets. Further
more, he must court her a couple
of years, and that is more expense.
! have known some very fine girls,
but l have never married because
/ have never been able to afford a
car. A man can win $50 wife
with a $500 car. but he can't win a
$500 wife with $50 car. Now what
I am driving at is that I wish I
could marry some one of the fine
girls that know without spending
my last cent in courting her. 1t
will be so much more sensible to
use the greater part of my savings
to set up housekeeping and trust to
luck in the future for luxuries.
Don't you thing so? JOHN.
Answer: I certainly do. But aren't
you putting the price of courtship
a little high? I don't believe that
the average girl requires to be wooed
with orchids. nor does she refuse to
go to the altar unless she is con-
veyed there in an automobile. OF
course, there are plenty of girls who
are gold-diggers and they hold up
every man they meet for all that
they can get out of him, but not all
girls are Miss Gimme.
There are loads of girls who like

a man for himself alone and who
are perfectly willing to ride on
streetcars and buses and walk to
the neighborhood movies, and who
consider hot dog and soft drink
swell evenings entertainment if
it is spent with congenial and
companionable chap.
These girls work themselves.
They know how hard dollars come
and they have mercy on a boys
pocketbook They are not selfish
and heartless enough to want him
to spend money on them that will
put him in debt or send him to the
cheap lunch counter for week.
Girls are not always to blame for
the high price of courtship. Nearly
always it is the boys own fault
when he spends more money on a
girl than he can afford. He wants
to dazzle her with the idea that he
is a big shot. He thinks he gains
prestige with her by throwing his
money about, by taking her to
sWanky night clubs and making her
expensive presents. And when he
buys an automobile on time, it isn't
to please her: it is because he wants
it himself. Men always blame women
for their extravagances. It is one
of the oldest alibis in the world.
I quite agree with you that 81 900
is too much money for a poor boy
to spend on courting a girl. She
isn't worth it, because if she had
any sense and any prudence and
really intended to marry the lad
she would want him to save it to go
housekeeping on instead of wasting
it on entertainments and payments
on a car. DOROTHY DIX.

water and teaspoonful of glycerin
will work wonders when applied
periodically with a soft sponge. A
little vaSeline rubbed in with your
fingers will do good, too. and any
of the book stores and leather shops
have commercial products designed
to feed your leather bindings so
they will live a long, long time.
With attention to these details
you may give your books protection
in their own environment. Such
blbliophobes as small boys and girls,
housemaids, puppies and mice you
will have to cope with in your own
manner, judging the severity by
your amiability and love for your
books.
Silver Fish Must
Be Eliminated.
Beyond that, paper cutters are
not expensive and far more efficient
than hairpins, knitting needles or
your left thumb for cutting pages.
Books wedged tightly into a book
case and removed by grasping the
top of the backstrip and yanking
will soon save you further trouble
by giving up the backstrip entirely.
Those little wiggly mites called silver
fish have no place in your library
and good summing, busting with
powdered alum and a whisking with
the small attachment on the vacuum
cleaner will help them on their way.
Just for appreciation, and because
you like nice things, polish your
books long and lovingly at least
twice year with a silk cloth and
enough friction to discourage any
mold or dampness that might get
into the bindings. Caring for a
library is responsibility about
which most of us are shamefully
negligent. Your books cannot take
care of themselves, so for the pleas
ure they afford and the decorative
value they give you. invest a bit of
your time in their care.

girls planning trousseaux and so
many bridal showers being given.
particular attention is centered on
exquisite lingerie. In one shop we
saw lovely robe and gown sets that
are moderately priced and really
beautiful. A very frilly style comes
in bridal blush," flesh or blue tones,
and consists of gown with satin
skirt and chiffon top worn with
chiffon robe. Both are lavish with
lace. Another set on the same
order uses chiffon and satin in
more tailored style that is equally
good looking. Hostess gowns dis
played here are suitable to wear for
dinner at home, or even for in
formal dining out. Our favorite is
a style that comes in many vari-
ations. One of the best is of sheer
beige crepe with a front panel Of
soft green, and is so well made with
its draped effect and short sleeves
that it could easily pass as dinner
gown.
