[DFAR DOROTHY DIX: Tam very much in love with a girl, but I hesitate to ask her to marry me because of her mother, who is the most "disagreeable creature in the world and never opens her mouth except to say ymething sarcastic and insulting. I canunot endure the sight of this old dy even now, and it is with the utmost misgivings that 1 look upon a future with closer relations between us. This girl has several sisters older than herself, all very fine women and all unmarried. Just what Is your opinion, please? WORRIED BACHELOR Answer: T do not wonder that you hesitate to ask a girl with such a mother to become your wife, for mothers-in-law are kittle cattle to handle at best, and such a one as you describe would probably raise many a rumpus in your home. But it seems a pity to penalize the girl for her mother's fault and doom her to old maidenhood because no man has the courage Lo ackle the old dragon’ that stands between her and happines ny girl who has such a mother has a terrible handicap, and a to consider it, for there is no denying that mothers-in have a way of settling themselves down on their daughters’ husbands, it takes a bold, hardy buccancer to get rid of them. Generally, nothing & of death does it, especially if son-in-law has a good house, and a good and sets a good table. But sometimes a woman is even worth pay price for Certainly man does we And oy just as high-te say ifling mothers make smart daughters” so upered, disagreeable mothers often make amiable and pleasant daughters. The girls have had to give in to mother s¢ much that they have learncd unselfishness, and they have heard so much quarreling and discord in their home that they are determined that when ehey set up homes of their own there shall be peace in them at any price. If I were you, if I really loved the girl, T think I would risk the mother. But 1 would have dn iron-bound pre-nuptial contract that mother was not to make her home with me nor pay extended visits.

Tt does no child any good to be beaten, and those who beat them are cruel cowards who take that method of venting their tempers on some one who is weak and defenseless and can't strike back. Believe me, friend, no man would be happy capable of beating a little child. What & man wants in a4 wife is love, and tendernees, and symp: understanding.

Her task need not be done at random, however, nor n. there be any inaccuracy about the result if accomplished in the fol- lowing manner: First of all, a line on the skirt should be marked evenly with chalk or pins at some point be- low the hips.
