JDEAR DOROTHY DIX: Iam a youns man 21 years old, in love with a girl 10 years older than myself. I did not fall in love. I walked in with my eves wide open and have been in the same state of mind for three years, although T have known her under conditions calculated to kill romance. Do you think there is a possiblity of a happy marriage with this difference in years? Q. E.D. Answer: There are exceptions to all rules, and although, as a general thing, it is a mistake for 2 man to marry a woman 10 years older than himself. now and then you find a couple who are ideally happy, even though strikin and u coat of geor- gette or chiffon, which adds hardly at all to the warmth of the frock, but does tone it down and makes it seem entirely appropriate for the street. metimes the frock beneath really consists of nothing more than a slip and the “over coat” of georgette or chiffon is not intended to be removed. Sometimes, too, the under frock or slip is of plain color while the chiffon or georgette coat shows the figured printing. The sketch shows a simple frock of printed silk, navy blue with color- ful printed pattern. The coat is on navy blue chiffon which covers the frock entirely save for a narrow pan- el down the front where the unveiled silk is allowed to be seen. (Copyright, 1025.) Shrimps in Aspic. Shell one pound of cooked shrimps, rinse out some small molds or one large mold with cold water. If the aspic jelly you use is not very stiff add one-half an ounce of gelatin to one quart of the jelly. Dissolve the zelatin in the aspic. then coat the mold with it, leaving rather a thick layer at the bottom. Let it set. If small molds are used put two or three shrimps in each, then fill up with aspic. If a large mold is used put in the shrimps in lavers with aspic be. tween each layer. Each layer of aspic must set before adding more shrimps, and the top laver must be aspic. A large mold takes a little more time. When set turn out and garnish with cress, chervil, boiled egg, beet or the skin of cucumber cut into fancy shapes. Keswick Salmon. Flake one pound of canned or fresh boiled salmon. Add one taBlespoontul of grated onion, two green peppers chopved fine and salt and pepper to taste. Mix with two cupfuls of cream sauce. Put a layer of this mixture in a buttered baking dish, then a layer of sliced hard-bofled eggs. then an- other layer of fish. Sprinkle with fine bread crumbs and bits of butter. Cook for 20 minutes in a moderate oven, or until nicely browned. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS itting on them and dreaming beauti- | ul dreams. When she left them to get her meals she took more care than ever to keep from being seen. Never had she felt so safe. Never had she felt that she had so little to worry about. Few ever came on that side of the old road, for the brush was| thick Now, Mrs. Grouse had rmade her nest not far in from the old road and an automobile passed, which was seldom, for that old road was little used, she could hear it plainly.

Mrs. | Grouse dozed contentedly. But soon her eyves flew open with a start. A great uneasiness took possession of | She didn't know why she felt uneasy, but she did.

Age is not always to be measured by the number of one's birthdays. There are persons who are senile at 20, and others who are cake eaters and flappers at 80. It is a matter of temperament. and it may be that you are old for your age and the girl is young for hers. And so vou meet on a common’ plane. T think, however, that 21 is too young for any man to make a final declsion about a wife. Especially in your case, where you are taking some- thing more than the average matrimonial risk. T would urge you to wait until you are at least 25 before you marry a woman 10 years older than yourself. If at that age she still looks better to you than the debutantes, go to it Before you marry a woman who is 10 vears older than you are, there are tiwo things fo consider, and they appeal just as much to the woman us they 0 to you. ‘The first is that the disparity in age increases every year. Ten years' difference isn’t much when you are young and good-looking, and both enjoy doing the same gay things. But 10 vears is a lot of difference when the man is 40 and the woman is 50, and it is an appalling difference when the man is 50 and the woman is 60. The man of 40 is still a boy. Generally he is better looking than he ever was in his life, and he is keen about amusing himself. The woman of 50 is & little past middle age. She has lost her good looks. She is fat and grizzle- haired. and she would rather spend the evening with a good book than Jazzing At 60 the man is still young, still good looking, still fond of stepping out but the woman of 60 is an old woman, and it tires her to death to keep up with a young husband and bores her to tears to try to keep him amused What she wants is to let out her corset strings and he comfortable and eat what she likes, instead of havinz to work like a slave trying to be a vamp and keep as voung as her husband | The second objection to marrying & woman much older than yourself is that she cannot help being eaten up with jealousy. She can never see her young husband with young girls who are a suitable age for him without | imagining that he is tired of her and regrets marrving her. And a wife who | sees every other female green-eved is no soothing life companion | So there you are, Q. E. D. Think it over. DOROTHY DIX EAR MISS DIX: I am a young woman, secretary to an official of a large firm. This man is married and has an extremely happy home life, but he can't resist making love to every good-looking girl he meets. Now, aside from the fact that a married man's attentions are not welcomed by me, I feel that he might spend a little money on me occasionally in the way of a luncheon invitation or a box of candy, but it doesn't seem to occur to him, despite the fact that he will help himself to any candy he sees on my desk. My problem is this: How can I get him to be a little less stingy with me? SECRETARY. Answer: The way to & man's pocket is even harder to find than the way #0 a man's heart. Millions of wives spend their lives trying to find some method that will induce tight-wad husbands to loosen up. but without avail The man who is stingy is deaf to hints, entreaties, suggestions. The only thing he ever hears is the jingling of the nickels in the purse which has a Yale lock on it. Since, however, you feel that You are entitled to some material reward | for enduring this cheap skate's philandering, why not make out a regular tariff for your favors? Surely a kiss is worth a good dinner, and listening to | his love-making should entitle yYou to a couple of pounds of chocolate creams, particularly as you throw in your self-respect and jeopardize your good name when you do so. ; suggestion is that vou quit flirting with your married employer and roung chap who will consider it an honor and & privilege to buy luncheon and candy for vou instead of having to be held up for them. A stingy philanderer is certainly the limit. DOROTHY DIX EAR MISS DIX: Iam a voung girl 24 old and am keeping company with a nice young man. I love him very much-and am sure that he loves me, but he is so bashful that he cannot find the courage to ask me to marry him. Several times he has nearly popped the question, but at the last minute he shied off. Please advise me what to do LONELY ONE. lame dog over the stile, my dear. . If you are o propose, take the Answer: Always help a initiative and pop the guestion yourself. There is nothing but a silly custom. that should be thrown into the discard along with hoop skirts, and fainting, and other obsolete feminine handicaps, that keeps a woman from asking the man she wants to marry her Women have lots more sense in matters of the heart than men have, and are better judges of men than men are of women, so when the time comes | that women pick out their husbands and select the men they want, instead | of having to take what they can get, there will be many more happy marriages than there are at present If you hesitate to ask your young man if he doesn’t want to be vours, propose to him by letter. The worst he can do is to say “no”: and, at any rate, it will clear the situation and let you know where you stand and what you can expect. DOROTHY DIX.

I was certainly prepared, having slept with my clothes on, like a fireman. After looking over the three sleeping bandits in my room last night I decided to stay as close as possible to my clothes.
