Schoolgirl Whose Patents Are Too Strict. DEAR MISS DIX: Tam 22 years old, a flapper, but am tired of flapping and am going to enter matrimony, I am engaged to two boys. Taken from the standpoint socially, physically and financially, they rate about the same. No. 1 is desperately in love with me, would and does anything in the world for me, and has helped me out of tight places for the last three years. I am fond of him and marriage with him would not be a hore by a long shot. Boy No. 2 must love me pecause he has asked me to marry him, but in this case I am the one who does the loving. My wants, likes and feelings don't cut much fce with him. In fact, he seems to feel toward me just as I feel toward No. 1, but I am desperately in love with him. Now T am a spolled only child, used to having my own way and being waited upon. Do you think I will be happier marrying No. 1 and playing the t of the heloved, or do you think the few passionately happy moments spent with No. 2 will atone for the unhappiness I know he is bound to | PERPLEXED. | bring me? Answer: Of course, the ideal match is where the husband and wife love equaily, but this seldom happens, and when it becomes a question of a woman ving the man she loves or the man who loves her, I think she does when she takes the man she loves. For a woman not to be loved is a misfertune, but for a woman not to love is a tragedy. 1t is eternally more blessed to give than to receive in spiritual as well as in material things. There are many reasons why it is better for a woman to marry the man with whom she is passionately in love tham it is for her to marry the man who is deeply in love with her. For one thing, she has what she wants and is saved from the gnawing jealousy of the woman whose heart is unsatisfied. Hell has o greater torment than the woman knows who spends long hours brooding over what might have been, and finding that absence merely feeds the fire of her love for the other man. A man who marries a woman who does not really fire his fancy has a hetter chance of becoming content with her and being reasonably happy | than does the woman who marries a makeshift husband, because the man has | the interest of his business or career to occupy his thoughts, and in the vealization of his ambitions he can find solace for much that he misses in the domestic relationship. But a woman's interests and her happiness center | in her home, and if she does not find content there, she does not find it at all. The woman who marries a man she does not care for is bored to tears. She does not_enjoy his companionship. She gets no kick out of trying to | please him. His caresses are repulsive to her. Life is just one dull round | of doing her duty. But the woman who marries a man with whom she is desperately in love is eternally on her tiptoes. She is always breaking her neck to try to keep her husband fascinated and amused. She is forever putting forth every art and cajolery to try to hold him, and while this may be wearing at times, it keeps her pepped up and on her mettle. Life may be full of tacks for her, but it is never monotonous. It is one long thrill. And finally such a woman has her great days, when all her world is full of star dust. They are not a continuous performance. Between them there may be aching voids in which she sheds barrels of bitter tears. DOROTHY DIX. D . AR MISS DIX: A girl asked me for advice and the case is so puzzling T feel incompetent to advise her, so I am passing it on to you. The s a high school girl of 16. Her parents belong to a very strict religious sect. She is not permitted to attend any parties. They are horrified at her desire to go to the movies. She is never allowed to. go anywhere except to church and prayer meeting, and at home they are always praying for her, though the girl has always lived a perfectly innocent life. They delve into all ber studles at school for fear she will be taught “infidelity.” Mary loves her parents and is loyal to them, but feels that she is being deprived of her girlhood and made old before her time. What can she do to get a little joy out of life? 1 WONDER. Answer: Nobody can tell a girl how to deal with parents who are fanatics. They are immovable because they conscientiously believe that they are doing right. The only thing Mary can do is to submit, and study hard so that she can fit herself to make a living away from home. Then she can enjoy the innocent pieasures to which every girl is entitled, and which make her a better balanced woman. DOROTHY DIX., (Covyright. 1027.) status, study. .
