Dorothy Dix Says

Many girls write to this column
asking why it Is that they cannot
hold men. They say that boys
seem attracted to them when they
first meet and date them, but that
they play no return engagements.
Well, OF course, even the Bible
sets down the way of a man with
a maid as one of the insoluble
mysteries, so there is no authentic
explanation of why the lads camp
seven deep on one girls doorstep,
while they never cross the threshold
of the girl next door. 1t Is Just one
of the things that is. But. generally
speaking, when a girl Is a good
locker and carries an average line
/ Of attractions and she has to spend
her evenings going to improving lee
lures or symphony concerts with
another girl, instead of stepping out
with a boy friend to dance. it is
due to one or the other of the
following causes:
Sometimes 1t is because she is
handicapped by her family. When
a young chap calls on Marybelle,
they act as If he had come to ask
her hand In marriage, whereas his
only serious intention was to in
vite> her to have hot dog at the
corner drugstore. That gives him
q trapped feeling and makes him
flee for his life from that danger
zone. Or maybe the reason the boy
doesn't go back the second time is
because he has to spend the evening
in the bosom of the family listening
to papa's view on the mistakes that
the Army and Navy are making in
running the war. or to mama tell
what a cute baby Marybelle was
Evening star., 1944-05-02

Maybe the trouble Is with the girl
herself. She is not rnen-wise and
doesn't know how to handle them.
She is either too indifferent or too
pleased, and either attitude Is fatal.
The boy wants her to show subtly
that he has made hit with her
and she enjoys his society, but he
doesn't want her to throw herself
at his head, and If she does he
dodges. Worst Of all is for her. to
act grateful for his attentions. For
that is proof that she Ii passed
over by the other boys, and men
still have to have another mans
| O. K. on . woman.
Often the reason . boy Is not o
repeater Is because Q girl puts too
high q price tag on herself. She
makes her company q luxury that
only the sons Of milnonaires can
afford. She may be used to hopping
buses and to corned beef and
cabbage menu at home, but when o
lad takes her out she calls for taxis
and orchids and restaurants where
even the cover charge sends him
to a beanery for the next month.
So it is good-by, darling, and never
again for him. ~ s III,
And very often 1t is because the
girl thinks she enhances her value
in boys eyes by Dragging about the
number Of suitors she has and the
brilliant marriages she could make.
It doesn't initiate any boys ego to
think Of one Of these man-kiilers
Haunting his broken heart In public
so his first date is his last.
So look to your technique, girls, to
see why you have no No. 2 dates.
