izing me to the point where I feel
I will 60 insane. Each time I
break down my nerves are COM
pletely shattered. Will I some day
harden to this, just as I have
hardened to many other things in
my life? And, If I do, what will
become Of us and our little child?
My husband Is writing his side OF
the affair to you. Please help us If
you can. MRS. l.. ]. S.
Dear Dorothy Dix: I am q young
man of %, with a beautiful wife
and baby, and I love them just
about as much as one human being
can love another. My marriage has
been very happy and very sad-the
sadness the result of the bitter
quarrels between us, which have
arisen from her violent temper and
my not being able to stroke her fur
the right way. I think that q man
who tries to pacify his wife by Civ
ing in to her tantrums is not helping
her, and that she should use her
own will power to control herself. I
love my wife dearly and would not
hurt her for the world, but this
smacking q mans face just because
you can't do as you want is not
making for q better home. My
wife read this letter before I sent 1t.
Can you help us? L. S.
Answer-You seem two very in
telligent young people, so why don't
you bring q few lobeS of your brains
to bear on settling your troubles?
1t seems such q pity for you to
have youth and love and home
and a baby, all the materials for
happiness, then to ruin 1t all by
your senseless quarrels.
You say you can't stop them,
but you can II you. will use only q
little common sense and determine
ton. You both know the subjects
that you quarrel over. Keep of
of them. Don't drag them out on
the carpet any more than you would
. poisonous snake. Don't argue.
Mrs. s. admits that she has .
high temper and that when she is
riled she says terrible things and
RACES until she becomes historical
She says she can't control her
tongue. Maybe so, but before she
loses control of her legs she can
get up and walk out of the room
before she says any OF the things
that are killing her husbands love
and respect for her, and before she
does herself an actual physical in
jury by INDUCING in q debauch Of
anger.
Knowing his wifes weakness. Mr..
s. can, in the interest of peace
and harmony in the family, deny
himself the pleasure of stirring up
the animals in refraining from bait
ing her and teasing her. He can
even help her to master herself.

Baby Face
Not Great
Handicap
False Sophistication
Is Poor Substitute
For Naive Charm
By Kay CaldaceH and
Alden Harrison
Dear Miss Caldwell and
Mr. Ha arrisnn

Dear Miss Caldwell and
Mr. Harrison:
What can I do to minimize the
misfortune of having a baby face?
I'm In my oath year, short and in
clined to be plump. At the very
moment when I think I'm managing
to look sophisticated, one of my
friends will come out with Gee
you have a baby face" or Doesn't
she look cute?"
I'm. certainly not conscious of any
attempt on my part to be either
babyiSh or cute. I think It's stupid
for people of my age to try to be
Can you help? MARY B.
We can't agree, Mary, that a baby
face is necessarily misfortune
Nor do we think being called cute is
any cause for worry-since cute
Is so widely used as general term
of approval.
Your biggest mistake is in trying
to look sophisticated. This sophisti-
cation is a very much overrated
business. anyway. And unless you
look that way naturally, trying to do
so is only apt to make you seem silly
and artificial.
However, it might be well for you
10 consult a hairdressing expert in
a good beauty shop for suggestions
on a hair-do that would minimize
the babyishness of your face. 1t
would also be we'll for you to steer
away from girlsh, frilly dresses. On
the other hand, wearing "sophisti-
Gated" clothes would be definitely a
mistake, since you're obviously not
the type for them.
We suggest that you also watch
those starches and sweets. Un-
doubtedly, your tendency toward
plumpness intensifies your childish
look.
But honestly, we think you're
making mountain out of mole
hill. Wouldn't it be smarter to
capitlize on your youthful appear
ance-which many young women in
their middle 20s would prize-than
to try to appear to be something
you aren't?
Well agree that "put-on" cute
ness or babyiShneSS is an abomina-
ton. But so is phony sophistication.
Dear Kay Caldwell and
Alden Harrison:
I'd. like to give my daughter. a
surprise birthday party. She will be
16, and I'm planning on having a
crowd Of 16 young people. Should I
send the boys the invitations and let
them ask their girl friends? Would
1t be improper for her dad and me to
remain at home with a few of our
friends, or would they have a more
enjoyable time if left to themselves?
MRS. E. S. A.
It would be better to have all the
invitations come from you-to the
girls as we'll as the boys. If neces-
sary, ask the boys for the names of
the girls they would like to bring,
then extend the invitations yourself
You and your husband can be in
the house during the party, but not.
necessarily in the same room or on
the same f1oor-except perhaps to
get the affair going and to help with
the refreshments. Unless your
house is very large and you can
keep your own friends entirely sepa-
rate from your daughters, don't try
TO combine two parties on the same
night. Better let this be your
daughters celebration exclusively.
