But the best DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX What Should an Engaged Boy and Girl Expect IFrom Each Other?—Advice on How to Deal With an Unsought Love. EAR DOROTHY DIX: Just what should an engaged girl expect from her sweetheart? What should an engaged boy expect from his sweetheart? AN ENGAGED COUPLE. Answer: An engaged couple should realize that an engagement is not marriage and does not give them the right to supervise each other's conduct. An engagement is a sort of optiun on each other’s heart and hand that may be foreclosed or allowed to lapse, but marriage is a binding contract that they cannot break at will. Therefore, while a husband and wife have a right to keep an eye on cach other’s comings and goings, an engaged couple have no such authority over cach other, and what they concede to each other is a matter of volition and not of duty. If they are wise they do not demand too much of each other nor do they object too strenuously to one or the other having a few dates with other people, because if there is any danger of either one wandering off after strange gods, it is much better for it to be done before marriage than afterward. As to what a girl should expect of her fiznce, I should say first that she should expect perfect frankness from him. He should tell her exactly how much money he makes, so that she will know what she will have to depend on and how she will have to cut her cloth. Many men deliberately deceive girls about how much they are making, and many other men unintentionally deceive girls on this subject by spending so lavishly that the girls think that they must have money to burn. It is a bitter awakening to many a young wife to find out that instead of her husband getting a fat pay envelope he has a thin one and that he is in debt for the presents and the flowers and the candy that he gave her during the days of courtship. A girl has also a right to know what her fiance’s views are on the allowance question and how much of his earnings he proposes to give her to run the house on and for her personal use. A girl has a right to expect her flance to discuss with her fully the plans for their future life and to open for her inspection the secret doors in his heart behind which he keeps his hopes and dreams and ambitions. A girl has a right to expect the man to whom she is engaged to talk over with her the things that will make or mar their marriage—children, the in-law problem, his idea of a wife's place in the home. whether he expects’ his wife to be & servant or an equal, & household convenience or a companion: whether he intends to be & fireside companion or thinks heme is a place where you eat and | sleep and change your clothes. A gir] has a right to expect that the man she is going to marry will tell her of his F!zmlll.( and shortcomings. This does not mean that he should tell her everything that has happened in his past life. It is a mistake for either a man or a woman to confess to those they are about to marry unless the wrong they have done carries over into the future and will affect the happiness and well-being of the wife or husband. What is done, is done. It is over. Finished. It cannot be helped by talking about it. but it can become a standing grievance 1n marriage with which the wife or husband will reproach the other in | But if a man knows himself to be stingy and selfish or every domestic quarrel. ¥ ! he should in ail honesty warn the girl about his high-tempered or grouchy, disposition.
