It you have had in contemplation for some time past a decidedly radical change in your surroundings, a breaking off of old and unsatis- factory ties and the‘formation of new and better associations, there could not be, according to the planetary aspects, a more propitious opportunity for doing So than that offered during the ecarly part of tomorrow. The signs denote that what has hitherto been complex will be understandable, and the vibrations will furnish the urge to take any step about the expediency of which you have been in doubt, but about the rightness of which you have always been convinced. The aspects later on in the day will be reac- tionary, but will not militate against the ultimate success of efforts made earlier in the day. In business only routine matters should. if possible, receive attention, and speculation or risk be avoided. The child born tomorrow is des- tined, despite the numerous ailments to whi¢h it will be subject during infancy, to develop along physically normal lines, provided it be properly nurtured, and surrounded with whole- some environment. Its disposition will be a cheerful one, and it will be gifted with a keen sense of humor. Its character, while not very firm, will be attractive, and it will have a very magnetic personality. Owing to the natural charm of its manner- isme, it will, probably, attain material success very easily. This will not be an unmixed blessing, as,the child will intultively acquire the habit of ex- ploiting its inherent gifts, without striving to give them a sure and solid foundation. Those who tomorrow colebrate the anniversary of birth are, for the most part, very forceful, extremely ambi- tious, and industrious, but your force- tulness often falls short of the mark, as a consequence of cocksureness and lack of judicial temperament. It is most unfortunate for the success of your many well conceived plans that you can see no other point of view than your awn, and neither seek nor listen to the well meant advice of others. “Too many cooks spoil the broth” is an adage both trite and apt. On the other hand, it must not be forgotten that “two heads are better than one.” In vour politics, religion, business and home you are, in your opinion, always right, even though this attitude forces you sometimes to THE EVENING STAR, \VASi:UNGTOI\', 3.0, UESDAY, DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Shall She Marry Her Homely Suitor or Look Further for a Sheik?—Tired of Living With Their Children. EAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a typical flapper with one of the angel faces that most men fall for, but fate has sent me a homely sheik. I really and truly love this fellow and know that he will make a wonderful husband, but my friends tease me so much about his looks that I feel as if I could not stand it any longer. Shall 1 marry him and tell my friends to keep quiet, or shall T go out and hunt for “Prince Charming?” T would like you to advise ma. CHERRY BLOSSOM. Answer: Well, angel face, inasmuch as you are the,onc who is going to marry the man, and not your friends, it scems to me® that you are the one to pick him out, and the only question involved is how he Is going to look to you across the breakfast table 365 days a year. Undoubtedly it is agreeable to have a life partner who is easy on the eyes, and most men make this the first requisite in picking out a wife. Women, however, have more judgment in matters of the heart than men have, and they are wise enough to know that beauty is the last thing to marry for, because it is the one count on which you are bound to lose out. Gooduess, fineness, brains, energy. a pleasant and agreeable disposition, nobility of character—these not only last, but increase as the years go b; Even money and social position generally hold out, and so men and women who marry for any of these things get a run for their money. But those who marry for beauty are foredoomed to lose out. A few years turns every living picture into a chromo. Age robs the loveliest malden of her peaches<and-cream complexion. It grizzles her hair. It converts her into a living skelefon or a tub of fat. And the man fares no better. Time snatches away his' ambrosial locks and leaves him bald-headed. It adds bay-window effects to his architecture. It puts spectacles over the most romantic eyes. And lo, your sheik is no longer a sheik, but old man Jones or Smith. Tt is foolish te marry for beauty, because beauty is bound to fade. Tt is also foolish to marry for beauty because the superlative good-lookers are almost invariably vain and selfish, and especially is this true of men. Beauty turns their heads even worse than it does a woman’s, and that is saying a lot. It is doubly and trebly foolish for a woman to marry a man for his 800d looks, because she will always present an invidious comparison to him and she will always have to hear people whispering behind her back, wondering what made such a handsome man marry a woman who looks Nke that. Also, other women will be continually trying to vamp him, and she will have a perpetual fight to hold her own. 4 There is great comfort and safety in a homely husband, so you had better marry one and monopolize the beauty in your family. DOROTHY JDEAR MISS DIX: A Civil War veteran, 80 years old, who has lost his wife wants to marry the widow of his buddy, who is 75. Both are well and spry and comfortably well off, but their respective children will not hear to the marriage. The children want the old people to live with them. The old people want a home of their own, and feel that they can be very happy and companionable together. They say that when they are in their children’s homes they feel like dried up old flowers that have been put in with fresh roses. What do you think of this? P YOUTH OF '61. DIX. .. Answer: I think that anybody who is 80 years old who has pep enough to want to tackle matrimony again should go ahead and do it. Furthermore, 1 see no reason why these two old people, who have been friends for a lifetime, should not be very happy together, and get great pleasure and MARCH 10, 1925.

They have the memories of a long life to talk over, and can spend many happy days reminiscing together. Young people know how old people bore them, and it is strange that they do not realize that they are equally tedious and tiresome to the old. Grandma and grandpa are no more interested in hearing them discuss the last cabaret show than they are in hearing grandpa and grandma tell about something that happened during Rutherford B. Hayes' administration. The most Insurmountable barriers of all obstacies is age. Not even love can scale that. We each belong on our side of the wall, and our interests are bounded by the things of our own generation The people whom we find congenial are the ones who have done the things we have done, who have thought the same thoughts, and have the same ideals and tastes, and that is why old people are sensible to remarry and get themselves companions who belong to their own age class. And children are wrong and foolish when they prevent these sensible unions. It a man of 80 and a woman of 75 wanted to marry somebody much younger than themselves, their children would be right to break it off if they could, but when two old friends want to walk hand in hand together the few last laps of the journey, nobody should interfere with them.
