IDEAR MISS DIX: Every accopted by school girls who beg for a ride. children, " They are practically grown. Do you not think that this is a very bold and unladylike thing for EIrls to do, and very dangerous as well? They have no means of knowing Whether the men they ask for o ride are decent and respectable or mot. They are quite as likely to strike a villain as a gentleman, and once in the car ‘they are absolutely in the man's power. He can take them where he will. ‘What do you think of it? INTERESTED READER. day I, and every other man who drives a car, am . ra These girls are not little Answer: 1 also have observed girls doing the same thing, and I have wondered what mort of mothers these girls had that they did not teach their daughters better manners and warn them of the perils they run in Joyriding off with any stranger who happened along. i Much might be said of the utter lack of good breeding, of the absence of all delicacy and refinement, and maidenly reserve of the girl who stands on the street curb and shouts like a hoodlum to every motorist to give her a 1ift. The very foundation of all decent manners consists in waiting until you are asked and not thrusting yourself upon others, or asking favors of them, and it is hard to imagine how any woman who is herself a lady can bring up a daughter who has so little appreciation of ladylike conduct. But It is not a question of manners but of morals with which we are chiefly concerned in this matter. It is the terrible danger that the girls themselves run when they “hop the cars” of men of whom they. know nothing, for, unfortunately, the first name of all the men who drive motors is not Joseph, and not without reason has the automobile lived up to the appellation by which it was first known when it was called a “devil wagon. To- begin with, any girl who accosts a strange man and asks him to give her'a ride in his car lays herself open to insult. She has adopted the approach of the woman of the streets and she has no cause for just resent- ment if men believe her to be one and treat her as one. An even greater danger to the girl lies in the fact that it is very seldom that the right sort of a man will heed the cry of these girls who are begging for a ride. The gentleman speeds by because he realizes the gravity of the offense against the conventions, even if the girl does not. He knows the construction that the world puts on a “pickup” on the streets, and the cynical smile that his frlends would give if he attempted to explain that he was merely giving a echoolgirl a lift home instead of having a chicken out for a spin. And he knows that the girl's father or mother would be more likely to meet him with a club than a vote of thanks if he delivered the girl at her own door. It is the men without morals, without principles; the men who prey on ignorance and youth: the sports, the chauffeurs out with their masters' cars, who answer the call of the girls who beg on the street for a ride. And once they have their silly little passengers in their cars, who knows where they go? Many and many a tme they start down the path of destruction. Only the mothers can stop this pernicious custom, and they can only do it by putting the fear of God in the hearts of their daughtérs and by making them realize how great is their danger, and that they literally take their lives, and more, in their hands when they enter the car of a stranger. DOROTHY DIX. « e e e TNEAR DOROTHY DIX: Will you please tell me why all mothers are partial to their sons? Also how do you think an estate should be divided between the children? C.D. B. Answer: Mothers deny that they are partial to their sons. They say they love all their children just alike and that their daughters are really greater comfort to them. But every outsider can see that a woman has a tenderness for her sons that she never has for her daughter, and that she spoils her boys more than she does her girls. Scientists say that th biological urge, founded on the attraction of the sexes, and that mothers can't help it. It is just nature. Anvway, it is true that mothers are partial to their sons and get along with them more smoothly than with their daughters. And there are many reasons for this. One is that the son's and the mother's interests never conflict, and the mother's and the daughter's do. The boys never want to take a hand in the housekeeping or change the way the parlor furniture is arranged, or interfere in any manner with the way mother runs things. The girls do. They come home from school with new ideas and new theories, and want to make over the home, and unless mother is an exceedingly meek and self-effacing woman, there is a perpetual conflit between new ideas and old in the home. One of the chief reasons that girls want to get married is to get a home of their own in which they can do as they please, and the reason that mother wears the smile that won't come off at the wedding is because she is going to be left in peace to do as she pleases in her own home once more. Mother concedes personal liberty to her sons. She doesn't try to boss them, or expect them to furnish an alibi for every hour they are away from her. She doesn't arrogate to herself the right to tell them | what they shall wear, what hour thgy shall come home, whom they shall | marry. whether they rhall go into business or not. But she feels she has | a perfect right to supervise every detail of her daughter's life, and unless they let her do all of their thinking for them she feels hurt and is estranged | from them. When a mother savs that she is “disappointed” in her daughters it merely means thet the girls are not an understudy of her as she was at their age Lastly, a_mother is prouder of her sons than she is of because she hopes that they will do great things and be eve, but she trusts that her daughters will marry happily Pheard of again. I think an estate should be equally divided between the children. 1f more money has been spent on one child than on the others it should be deducted from his or her part of the estate. DOROTHY DIX. S IDEAR MISS DIX: I am very much in love with a girl who, T think, cares | for me. But I cannot her to marry me because of my health, which has been on a decline for two years. Should T tell her of my love, and my regret that I cannot ask her to be my wife, or keep silent? FATE. her daughters in the public and never be Answer: Tell her by all means. It is best not to bind her to you by a definite engagement when it is uncertain if you will ever be able to marry. aithough many people Who are thought to be seriously sick do get well, you know. w2 In any case, the woman has a right to the happiness o vi you loved her. That will be a preclous secret for l;:’“_ to hzgk:x:::l’;gfi:::g as long as she lives, and will keep her from the shame of feeling that she zave her love unsought. It will save her from the bitterness of thinking that she gave her heart to a cad, who used it as a plaything and flung it away when he was tired of it. DOROTHY DIX.
