l am somewhere in California j:
about all 1 can say.
l have been having an easy time
in the service. 1 enjoyed a To-day
delay en- route, and have been get

l continue to receive the paper
and enjoy it more and more each
issue.
The days seem longer than ever,
now that the war is over, but /
am glad it is finished and l know
you feel the same. 1t has been a
long time since l left home-23
months, and that is a long time in
any language. But the paper and
the letters from friends have help
ed out a lot, and 1 expect to see
the old town again, this year per-
haps if everything goes well. AS
to points, 1 will have to wait
awhile for discharge, but 1 wouldn't
mind if 1 could get to the States
to spend my time.
1 read about Adolph Kamerzel

This will be all for now; 1 will

Two days are required for the pro-
cessing and discharge. 1t is more
work getting out than in, but there
has to be a lot of checking and re-
checking of records to see that
everything is in order. So Satur-
day morning I'll be a free man and
should be in Cleveland that evening.
They are just starting to dis
the fellows here, and they
don't know what it is all about in

now they are handling about 100.
The food is pretty good and we
don't have any watches or work.
The boots come and do all that, so
we live the life of kings.

Dorothy Dix Says

irritable, and particularly what his
views are regarding the status of a
wife and the claim she has upon her
husbands pocketbook. But probably
no man in the world ever told a
woman the whole truth about him
self. Maybe he could not, even if
he SO desired. because we are all so
lenient to our own faults. We make
such convincing alibis for them and
we see them in such different
light from the way they are going
to look to the men and women we
marry.
And 1t is the same way with a
woman. Angelina could call her
temper nerves, her unreason tenn
permanent, her shiftlessness she
could camouf1age as bad health, her
extravaganza could masquerade un-
der her love of beauty, and by the
time she got through making out
her list Of faults it would be like a
schedule of all the most desirable
virtues.
Nor would the lovers be warned
by even an honest confession OF
each others faults. The thing that
would later get on their nerves and
rub them raw would seem scarcely
a blemish seen from the far dis
tance of courtship Then, such is
the vanity Of lovers that they would
believe that they would be able to
work miracles and make him or her
into the perfect husband or wife
Of his or her desire. So I greatly
fear that the nte-matrimony con-
fessional would be barren of prac-
ticaI results
Evening star., 1945-09-26

Dear Miss Dix: Don't you think
that II young men and women would
explain their faults to each other
before marriage it would do a
great deal to avert unhappy mar
riages and prevent divorce?
BILL H.
Answer-If lovers were disillu-
stoned before marriage, it would un-
doubtedly avert unhappy marriages.
because it would wreck the institu-
ton of marriage altogether. Tom
would never lead Susie to the altar
II he had a closeup of Susie's tenn
per and tongue, nor would Susie ever
sign up in a life partnership with
Tom If she had the remoteSt idea
that he would grab all the profits
and emoluments of the firm, and
that she would never be able to COL
lect the wages of a hired girl for
her laborS as wife and mother ana
cook and housemaid and butler and
seamstress and nurse and SO on ad
inflnitum.
OF course, your plan is theoret-
ically correct. The honest thing for
every prospective bridal couple to
do is to laytheir cards on the table
do is to lay their cards on the table
nesses and give the party of the
other part a chance to take them or
leave them.
Certainly 1t is but common hon.
esty for a man to tell the woman
who is going to be in his power
whether he is industrious or lazy;
whether he is go-getter or an also
