AR MISS DIX: Iam a young man who has lived a very gay life. About efght months ago T met a beautiful and wonderful girl, not of the dance- hall, wild:woman crowd that I had been running with, but a noble, splendid woman. We fell in love with each other, and she stra’ghtened me out. I had been conceited vain, lazy, and didn’t care how I made money, but this girl made me sec what a worthiess fellow I was, and I went to work and we were very happy. Last week a fellow invited me to a party and I went back to the old crowd. They made a_ great fuss over me. I got drunk and had a wonderful time. Well, since this party I have had no peace of mind. What shall T do? If 1 marry her, do you think 1 will settle down and be content with a quiet life? JULIO. { Answer: No, [ don't, and I think under the circumstances you would be doing the girl a very great injustice to marry her. ‘ The trouble with men is that they make the mistake of thinking that { matrimony is a sort of cure-all for whatever weakness ails them. They labor under the delusion that it will work some sort of a miracle that will change their whole natures: that it will make a Jauzy man industrious; that it will quench a drunkard’s thirst, and make a man with dancing feet want to put them in slippers and sit by his own fireside every evening. Nothing of the kind happens. A man’s tastes and hablts and desires | are not altered by a march up to the altar. The things you enjoy doing before marriage you will enjoy doing after marriage. The places you like to go to before marriage will still attract you after marriage. The crowd that allured you before marriage will draw you to them after marriage. That is where the trouble begins, because after marriage you are not free to indulge yourself and follow your inclinations as you were before marriage. You have a wife to conslder and you will make her very miserable if you do the things of which she doesn't approve. No man has until he is done with dance halls and dance-hall girls, until the very sigit of a wild oat fills him with loathing, until a home and a good woman look better to him than anything else on earth. i You can’t run with the hare and hounds at the same time, Julio. You have to choose between them. Idon't marry until you make up your mind which one you really want. DOROTHY DIX. AR MISS DIN: Wil you please tell me why my son almost never writes to me?

Anxious Mother, that wien many a man goes up to blackest score the recording angel will have charged him will be, “He didn't write to his mother.” For there are thousands upon thousands of sons lik have gotten so absorbed in their own affa selfish, that they have forgotten their old mothe yours—men who It isn't that they have ceased to love their mothers. O, Mother has a shrine fn their heart where they worship in secret. | But they are busy and tired and rushed w.th work and burdened with anxieties, and so they put off from day to day writing to mother. dear, no. They forget how lonely she is back in the old home, from which all of the children Lave gote; how long are the days in which nothing happens: Low | dull is the life that has no longer in it any hopes or plans or aspirations for itself. They forget that to mother they are still ch.ldren, unable to take care of themselve and that she is always worrying about their health, and whether they remember to change their shoes when they get their feet wet and if they have right things to eat and enough covers on their beds these cold nights They forget that mother's life is me theirs, and that there i3 no | detail of thelr lives in which she is not vitally interested and which she would not love to hear ubout. They forget how she watches for the postman’s step of a morning. how hope springs eternally in her breast that this day will be a red-letter day in | which she will get a letter from her boy, and the despalr and the leaden | heart with which she turns away when the postman passes her by and leaves | her still looking for the letter that never comes. | 1t is only after mother has gone where no letter can reach her, and no ! remorse or repentance can avail, that many a man remembers with bitter | tears the lotters that he forgot to wr.te to his mother.

Forthwith she constructs a dark plot—a plot in which she throws him down completely, makes a fool of him, disappoints him just when he's expecting her to be nicest to him. She arranges the details of her re- venge, carefully, determined that there shall-be no slipup—no escape for the wretch who has dared to be rude to her, or unfaithful to her. And on the appointed day at the ap- pointed time, she springs her un- pleasant surprise on her victim. Perhaps, for a brief five minutea she enjoys his disappointment, his mortiffcation, his chagrin, while she tells him what she has done and why she has done it. Peraps, she revels in the confusion she’s made—in the way she's de- stroyed his peace of mind, and made him miserable by refusing ever to se2 him again. But it's all over in 8o short a time. Her five minutes of sweet triumph vanish. 1 The punished wrongdoer slinks away with her flnal command ring-| ing in his ears, “Don't ever speak to | me again. 1 don't want to see you | again in my whole life,” and the righteously indignant maiden is left alone. what has she now to be happy over? If she really loves the man she sent away so dramatically after hav- | ing_punished him so cruelly, she must feel pity for his suffering. She must long to take him back, and tell kim she didn’t mean a word of it.. | She must wish that she could make !amends for the nasty blow she just {gave him. Yet she can do none of these things. | Her pride won't let her. There is nothing for her to do but wait—and that’s a hard occupation for an anxious girl, who's uncertain as to whether she will ever see her man again. She must wait and worry and suf- ter, just as she made the man suffer. She must do this because she chose to indulge in that most brief and eeting of pleasures—revenge. It's a temptation to do something nasty to him because he did some- thing nasty to you, but if you'll stop and figure out how much enjoyment | per square inch you get out of aveng- ing yourself, vou'll realize that there's | q0thing In this revenge stuff. Far better to go to him, talk to him plainly, demand an apology, etc than to retire in a cold fury to think up an elaborate scheme of revenge | which may wreck your happiness for- | ever. If he has been' mean, give him a few of the hard, cold truths about himself, which you have saved up for him—that may clear the alr. But don’t meditate deeds of vengeance. What good will it do, in the end? (Copsrieht. 1926.) [ g imi will bo wlad to anewe: Hamped, sddressed envelope in helosed. THE DIARY OF i A NEW FATHER BY ROBERT E. DICKSON. | i | Friday Night. ¥!
