Don't Be Rushed
Into Marriage
Against Will
Many Servicemen
Object to Girls
Pursuing Them
By Dorothy DIR


Dear Miss Dix: I am a boy In
the Army. Am engaged to a sweet
girl and I want to marry her when
can make enough to support her
and be situated so that we could be
together. But she insists on getting
married right now. She hounds me
about it all the time and cries and
says don't love her when 1 tell ner
we've got to wait. So I don't know
what to do. l don't want to lose
her, but I can't marry her now.
Do all girls do all the insisting
about getting married? We boys
would like to do the persuading, and
we don't want to be rushed into a
marriage before we are ready for it.
What should 1 do?
A WORRIED SOLDIER
AnSWer-Listen, soldier, and take
my advice. Don't let any girl beg,
entreat, weep, threaten or other
wise coerce you into marrying her
before you are ready to do it and
against your better judgment. Say
nay, nay, Pauline, and have the
backbone to stick to decision that
you know to be the wise one.
When a girl marries boy in spite
OF himself, instead of because he has
persuaded her into doing it, that
marriage is doomed from the start
for failure, and the marriage license
might just as well have a divorce
coupon attached to it. There isn't
a chance of such a couple being
happy together or of their making
a go of their marriage.
Because, in the first place, the
husband always resents having been
jockeyed into doing a thing that he
knows is bound to have disastrous
consequences for him. And because,
in the second place, the girl by her
lnslstence upon marriage for
which they are not ready shows
that she not only lacks common
sense, but is a bossy, selfish little
creature who is determined to have
her own way at any cost to the man
she processes to love- And because,
in the third place, no marriage can
be success unless it has an ade-
quate financial backing, and unless
it has the proper environment in
which the domestic virtues can take
root and flourish.
In other words, for a marriage
to be a success the husband must
be able to support his wife, and
when they are first married they
must be able to live together in the
crucial years in which they are
getting adjusted to each other. The
marriage this girl insists upon has
neither of these qualifications. You
haven't the price of a wedding ring,
and if you married the girl now you
would be almost Immediately sepa-
rated from her. And when you
came back you would meet as
strangers who would most probably
have nothing in common, not even
a desire for each other.
That is why it is so unwise for
boys and girls to rush into war mar
riages where they face all the dan
gers of marriage and have none of
its safeguards Don't do it.

have been around the other evening
when we met Corpl. Robert Allen
Davis of the 3Oth Engineers. Bob,
who is stationed at Fort Belvoir, is
busily engaged in his free time in
doing pastels of the Earle Theater's
10 Roxyettes. but he sneaked into
the fashion column because Of his
past, rather than his present.
You see, before he enlisted in the
Army last March. Corpl. Davis was
an instructor at the famous Fashion
Academy in New York. He has
taught great many girls who have
gone places" in the style world,
snatching off positions as stylists
and what-have-you. At the mo-
ment Bob is more interested in
blowing up bridges and building
roads-or whatever engineers do
than he is in feminine fashions
However, he does say that he likes
simplicity in clothes and thinks that
most hats are terrible. AS for
Washington girls, he has met only
three true Washingtonians and he
says, politely, they're tops"
After the war is won, Civilian Da-
Wis wants to concentrate entirely
on portrait work, although he still
feels that teaching is fine career.
AS for his portrayals of the Roxy
cites, even the girls think they're
wonderful.
You can tell that the fashion de-
partment has been getting around
in theatrical circles this week. For
instance, we have just received word
that the costumes for Katherine
Cornell's play. The Three Sisters, -
were designed by Motley of London.
This. as you may or may not know,
is the trade name for the Misses
Peggy Harris and Elizabeth Mont
gomery, talented designers who, be-
fore the war, originated highly sue
cessful fashions in their studio not
far from Trafalgar Square.
For the past two years, they have
been busy in Hollywood and New
York, working for the stage rather
than for the fashion world. How
ever, when the Chekhov play opens
at the National next Monday eve
ming, fashionists will watch the
costumes closely. They should in
dictate how working in America has
affected the designers known as
Motley of London.
One of the smartest ideas seen in
many a day was originated by a
well-knoWn store in Manhattan
when they opened their store Door
Canteen." Stated by so members
of the AWVS, who aid the service

games, postal cards, out-of town

for the boys-plus a "tin-type" man
