EAR MISS DIX: Tam to be married to a young man who makes enough to keep me moderately comfortable, but not enough to lay anything aside towhrd buying me a home. I am a business girl, and I want to keep on with my work, ving my salary for the home. My mother disapproves of this, <« she save that If a girl works after she is married it spoils the man, and when he hes to support her he regards it as a burden. I would agree with this if we did not have a definite end in view, but we have, and it {s under- stood that T will stop work when we move into a house of our own. What do you say? A DAILY READER. Answer: 1 think you are quite right, and that you are doing a very wise thing to keep on with your work until you save up enough money to buy yourself a home. We must recognize that economic conditions have changed, and that nowadays it Is often impossible for a young couple to get married unless the wife continues to be also a money earner. In your case vour working for two or three years after marriage will mean a different status in life not only for yourself and your husband, but for your children. On his salury alone you could barely make ends meet. You would have no chance to save up anything for a rainy day. Yeu could not hope to own your own home. But with vour combined earnings you and will stand every chance of making se, there are men whom it ruins to have a self-supporting wife, and on her own feet, and buy her own clothes, they let her do it, but this is by no means the general attitude of men toward their wives who are really working partners. Every worthwhile man wants to take care of his own family, and likes to feel that his wife is dependent upon him. But one thing I urge upon vou. If you keep your job after you get marrfed, don’t try to keep house and do your own housework. No woman has the strength to perform two jobs adequately. It breaks her down and makes her cross and peevish and disagreeable to live with. Moreover, she is bound to slack up in her work, when her mind is on what is in the fireless cooker at home, and she is wondering if she forgot to set out the garbage. Also she is a poor housekeeper who ruins her own and her husband’s digestion by eating delicatessen messes and things out of paper bags and tin cans because she hasn't the time or the strength to do real cooking, which is a slow and laborious process. And, of course., when the bables come you will have to give up your job because while a woman may be both a good business woman and a good wi°s, no woman can combine successfully motherhood and a career. DOROTHY DIX. \ o EAR MISS DIX: Since leaving college I have been employed in a South American hureau of a very wellknown firm. For 10 vears I have supported my mother, giving her all the comforts and luxuries of life, and while she has always been ready to accept them, she has never offered me the slightest appreciation, and her desire to dominate me is frequently commented upon by others. Recently my mother has joined cult whose forms and ceremonies are most obnoxious to me, and she has made our home their rendezvous. One of thelr ceremonies consists of a habitual talk about death, and my mother | harps upon this theme continually. After a hard day's work at the office, to | have to listen to an evening's monologue on this gruesome subject makes me 5o nervous that 1 have decided to separate myself from my mother. 1 shall, of course, provide for her. Do vou think I am dofng wrong in leaving her? A PERPLEXED YOUNG WOMAN. Answer: Self-preservation is tie first law of nature, and you have a perfect right to leave your mother in order to save your peace of mind and bodily health Perhaps, when she finds out that superior meal ticket you represent if she does not give up her new cult will see a great white light and abandon her cheery little faith. she is in_ danger of losing the very she Personally, I believe that there is no more mischievous and foolish superstition than that which makes so many of us sacrifice our lives by | continuing to live with disagreeable people just because we happen to sustain | the relationship to them of Gaughter, or son, or sister, or brother. We have | certain financial obligations to them. We should see that they are fed and clothed and have a comfortable shelter, but beyond that we are not bound to live in daily. contact with them If they get upon our nerves. A famous neurologist told me not long ago that his most efficacious | remedy for nearly every sort of nervous trouble was separating families. He said that he would find people living In the same household who antagonized each other in every possible way, and that just as soon as these could be parted and put In a more harmonious environment they got well. Certainly I can think of nothing more horrible than to have to live with one who holds the death thought over vou all the time, and who literally brings a leton to every feast. You cannot possibly live with that and keep your sanity, so get away from it as quickly as possible. And try to get your mother converted to some of the nice, cheerful Pollyanna religions. DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: I am @ younz man. moral. upright, sober and industrious, and have a prosperous business. 1 am in love with a darling girl, who is also in love with me. We want to be married, and I could givesd her every comfort, but her parents refuse to let her marry me because I am a widower. My first wife lived only 2 few months after we were married. She has been dead four vears. Do you think we would be right in zoing along and marrying in s her parents? DAV Answer: Of course. you would. Dave, A zirl should listen to her parents’ advice about marrying a man when they have reason on their side, { but when they are idiotic enough to object to a man for no other cause than that he is 4 widower, they are too silly to consider, and their daughter should not allow them to ruin her life. Why, a widower ls the preferred matrimonial risk, and any father and | mother who know what's what in the matrimonial line feel like burning joss sticks to their luck when their daughter gets one for a husband. The widower is nearly always better established in business than the | young man, and can give his wife a better home. He knows better how to get along with women than a bachelor does, and is kinder and more con siderate than a boy husband. And, best of all, he is house-broken, and willing to stay at home of an evening instead of chasing around to places of amusement.

The chances are that you are buying a shampoo without any idea whether its formula is good for your kind of hair or not. There are three types of hair: normal, oily and dry All hair is not alike. It falls into these three main classifications, based on the amount of oil secreted by the scalp. The chart describing the various types of hair will readily show you why each condition should be treated in an entirely different way. Hair in normal condition is healthy hair. It requires a protective shampoo only, to cleanse without stimulatin, it. Oily and dry hair are abnormal an: unhealthy conditions. They need cor- rective treatments. These can only be accomplished with shampoos expressly designed for the purpcse—GForrilox Shampoos. The only specialized shampoos in the world Glorilox Shampoos—a new inven- tion—are the first and only shampoos ever made in three formulas scientific- ally suited to the three conditions of hair. These formulas are known as GloriloxN,GloriloxOand Glorilox D. Glorilox N is for use on normal, healthy hair. It clcanses gently and thor- oughlly without affecting the secretion of oil. Glorilox 0 is for use on oily hair. Tt dis- courages the excess secretion of oil, removes dandruff, and opens up the clogged pores so they can function properly. Glorilox D, for dry_hair, stimulates the secretion of oil to a normal flow. This prevents harshaess and brittleness, and checks abnormal falling of hair, and dandruff.
