How to Make the Long-Silent Sweetheart Speak. | The Wise Business Girl Who Hesitates to Marry Her Jealous and Tyrannical Fiance. R MISS DIX: I am a woman 38 years of age, interested in a man of 40. Ve have lived in the same town all our lives and have been silent sweet- j hearts; for, although he gives me to understand that I-am the only one, he has never mentioned marriage. He has taken me to places of entertainment since We were young, but we were always accompanied by his mother or sister. _Now, there is 2 man in my office who likes me and wants to call on me. { Would you let him come and leave the other man to his mother and sisters? i DUMB-BELL. man If that _dumb-bell lover and make your silent etheart speak . I, and it will give you at least the advantage of knowing where { vou stand and what you can depend upon. To & woman there is nothing more aggravating than the pepless romance { that begins in her high school days and runs endlessly on through the years | without leading to the altar. Some boy who used to carry her books for her and bring her red apples attaches himself to her in her teens. When they are older they still continue to €0 together. Goesip links their names. Their friends speculate for a while about w hen they will get married, but they drift along without doing it. They are never s ually engaged. The woman has no real hold upon the man, nothing definite to look forward to, yet he has ‘orbed her vouth and kept other men away from her and narrowed her matrimonial chances down to him or nothing. - ,.The man doesn't intend to do the girl an fnjustice. He doesn't realize he is being selfish. In the back of his head is the vague idea that some time he Will marry her, but he feels that there is no hurry about it. It is something he can do when he gets good and ready, and in the meantime the situation is most satisfactory to him. He can 5o to see Sally whenever he feels like it, sure of a warm welcome nd her syvmpathy and interest in all his plans. She is always ready to pal und with him when he wants a companion, and be isn't afflicted with any | of the drawb: of matrimony, such as having to support a wife and having { te put up with her whims and peculiaritie in effect, that of the Frenchman who said His reason for not marrying is v was because he would have no pleasant place that the reason he didn’t mar: in which to spend his evenings. And it doesn’t occur to the man that Sally is wasting her youth and the freshness thereof, and eating out her heart longing for the home and the hus- band and the children that belong to her. There is only one thing to do in such a case, und that is to jolt the slothful lover awake. The woman has become 4 habit with the man, of which he cannot break himself, and she must break it efther by going away and letting him realize how much } s her and how necessary she is to his happiness. or else by setting and scaring him to death about losing her DOROTHY DIX. D R MISS DIX: I have been engaged for dlmost three vears to 2 man who has splendid principles but a disagreeable disposition, and I live in constant dread of doing something that he can find fault with or be suspicious of. Sometimes I think he is wonderful and at other times I almost hate him, but I can’t seem to break with him. My father died recently, leaving my mother and little sister dependent on me. I have a splendid position—in fact, make more money than my flance, al- though he has a good, substantial income. As things stand I will have to keep my position for the next 10 years if I want to be independent of outside help. Of course, no man would walt that long for me. My flance urges me to marry him, saying that he can support all three of us, but I know better. What do you think would be the best thing for me to do, considering that the young man's disposition has already made me doubtful of the wisdom of marrying him INDEPENDENT. Answer: The man who is tyrannical before ee of a4 hushand. The man whose mind is filled with petty jealousies and suspicion: { €0 evii-minded himself that he attributcs his own unw one else, will be doubtly and trebly suspicious of his burden to her with his spyinz upon he; marriage make u Simon Leg , who is rthy motives to every ife and make her life a The girl who has to be continually placating her sweeth trom taking offense at something will have to spend her day him. And, believe me, in time that gets on any woman's nerves. I can see no happiness in marriage with a selfish, jealous, grouchy man, and if anything comes up to keep vou from marrying such a one, regard it a8 the work of your guardian angel and return thanks accordingly. 't to keep him soft-soaping It is highly desirable, of course, that a maf should have good principles and be u go-getter, but the thing that makes or mars his wife's happiness is his disposition. That is what she has to live with, and whether a woman is happy or miserable depends upon her husband's attitude about the little, com- mon, everyday affairs; whether he tells her how pretty she looks in her new hat or knocks her for paying $25 for it; whether he is reasonable and human when she tells him about meeting Tom Smith or raises ructions over it.

FEATURES. BEAUTY CHATS Lotions and Accessories. A chat about dreseing table con veniences brought me several letters asking not for the usual fittings like brushes und combs but for a list of really essential ‘“extras"—Ilotions, creams, etcetera. I'd suggest a small bottle of per- fume, 1f you use it, if not a small bot- tle of toflet water or tollet vinegar. Either of these is good as a facial astringént, and it 1s handy to have something of the sort on your dres- ing table, ready for use. Or a small bottle of witch hazel; this is cheap, and if « little is wiped over the skin, using a bit of cotton, it will erase tired lines’ and make the face look much tresher and prettler. Whatever you use, Keep it in an attractive bottle, something colorful and decorative. A fairly large box for face powder should be something decorative. Other extras are: A small box of china or metal, for cold cream, this to be used for the face as well as the finger nails.
