C, TUESDAY, [How Can a Wife Rekindle Her Husband’s Dead l Love?—Advice fo the Mother of Two [ DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX | Grown Boys. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Two years ago I met ‘a man, fell in love with him and married him. Three months later he informed me that he was tired of me, that he had found out that he didn't love me any more and advised me | to go back to the job I had before I married, which I did. He finds no fault with m> In any way. Says that I am a nice kid and was a fine wife in every | way, but he just doesn't love me and doesn’t want to live with me, so I am shipped back home. . 4 What am I to do? How am I to make my husband love me and win him back? BROKEN-HEARTED WIFE., Answer: Alas, my poor child, there is absolutely nothing that you can do Iy which you ean revive your husband’s fancy for you. There is no resurrection for dead love; no magic by which you can kindle ashes and blow them into flame again. | We do not know why we love. We do not know why we cease to love. We cannot tell why the things that ravished our fancy one day bore us the next, | any more than we can tell why the dish we relished suddenly palls upon our palate The old colored woman who gave as her reason for wishing a divorce from her husband that she had “just lost her taste for him” condensed this great human tragedy into one short phrase. | | Evidently that is just what has happened to you. Your husband has lost | his taste for you and there is no arguing witn that, no combating it. You were with him and when he wearled of whatever charm you had ihat piqued his interest in you, it was all over. | There are many men like that. They are born philanderers and no woman, | no matter how beautiful, how amiable, how intelligent she may be, can hold them for long. They must al s have novelty. They must always have adventure. They must always be pursuing some new face, and when they have once caught it and held it between their hands. they throw it away as a child does a broken | | toy and are off again following the flutter of another skirt. The pity of it is | that these men ever marry. | ! So face the fact that you were unfortunate enough to marry that kind of a | man and that your brief love dream is over. He will never come back, and the wise thing for you to do is to waste no time ror thought in trying to revive his dead affection for you. Forget him. Pack your little romance away in lavender and clamp the lid down on it so hard that you can never open it again. Make yourself see the man fairly, not as the hero of your girlish dreams, but as a cad who was base enough to take a young girl's life in his hands and break it; who was a coward and a quitter: who did not have enough manhood in him to stand by his bargain. If you will think of him that way, your contempt for him will kill your love for him. just a passing fanc: Then go to work. Get so busy doing something interesting that your | thoughts will not even stray toward your troubles during the day and you will ! be so tired at night that you will go to sleep. There is no cure for love sickness | cqual to work. " DOROTHY DIX. | DEAR MISS DIX: I am a mother with two sons who cause me a great deal of trouble. One is 23 years old and the other 21. The one who is 23 was married last week without my consent and went away and left me. The 21-year-old boy is always nagging at me because he wants to leave home. | What can I do? A TROUBLED MOTHER. | Answer: Let them go. That's what every mother has to do in the end, because it is the law of life. | ‘The young must cut their mother's apron strings and go out into the | world to seek their fortunes. They must live their own lives. They must stand on their own feet. They must make their own mistakes and have their own | experiences. They must stumble and fall and hurt them: try it all over again. s, and get up and | And it is bitter hard for mothers to accept this and to realize that their | children are individual human beings and that they get to be grown-up men and women, entitled to lead their own lives. Mother would like to hold them by the hand and lead them about as if they were babies until they were old men and women themselves. At 23 your son had a right to marry and leave you and set up his own home Let him do it in peace and with your blessing instead of making a row about it and alienating him and his wife from you. And at 21 the other boy has a right to lcave home if he so desires. Let him go and try his wings. i DOROTHY DIX. R | DEAH. MISS DIX: I am a young man who has never been in love and to me i love-making is silly and disgusting. Because of this attitude I find that I| am gradually being pushed out of the social life of my community. I am | | considered a good entertainer in a crowd, but a poor sweetheart alone. Therefore, ¥ rarely have dates and am missing the good t'mes that the other boys of my age are having. Do all girls like to listen to this mushy talk? If not, what do they like to talk about when alone with a boy? CHARLES J. B. Answer: Well, Charles, of course no girl is really averse to hearing a man tell her how beautiful and wonderful she is and what glorious eves AR | that, somehow, there is something different about her from all other girls and that the first time he saw her he knew that she was the one woman he had been | looking for, and so on and o forth, ad infinitum. Flattery always “listens good” and any girl is willing to lend her ears so long as you will pour it in. So I think. if I were you, I'd cultivate a nice and nifty line of jolly if 1| wanted to be a “Wow” with the fair sex. But. as & matter of fact, soft talk isn't | apsolutely necessary to make you popular with the girls. There are just loads of them who like to talk about sports and books and what's in the newspapers and all the other topics in which an intelligant human being is interested. Try | them out along these lines and see if you don't make a hit.
