Unfavorable aspects appear to be strong for tomorrow, according to as- trology. There is a rule promising to persons who follow conservative lines of think- ing. They may have pleasant experi- ences in the course of the day. Thelr counsel may be sought by the world. Workers should benefit from confer- ences or meetings. Under this direction of the stars it is | necessary to refrain from criticism. Neptune is M a place supposed to encourage intrigue and deceit, and for | this reason the mind should be kept | steadfast where principles of any sort are involved. While this rule of the planets con- tinues many vagaries of the mind may be apparent, for suggestibility to de- structive thoughts is likely to be in- creased. Letter writing may be most satis- factory and all who are inclined to ex- press sentiment should exercise reserve, for love missives may be dangerous.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX | Plight of Man Who Has Married Club Addict. Aid in Making Decision—Helping to ’ Choose Wife. DIAR DOROTHY DIX—My wife goes out several times s week in the evening to her different clubs and leaves me to spend a lone! myself. I have no objection to her belonfun; to as many only they would meet in the afternoons, but I feel that she should be give me her soclety in the evenings. My idea of an en, game of bridge, a dance or the theater with my wife and fri suggest anything like this she flatly refuses, the excuse being that she ! tired and was out late last night at the club. I earn a comfortable salary, wife has a liberal allowance, which she may use in any way she cares, but as I do all T can to make her happy I think she might do something for my pleas- ure. I have tried to get her to see my point of view, but it is hopeless. She only cries and goes into hysterics when I remonstrate with her. Now I want your opinion as to whether a woman'’s club or a husband should come first, and just what you would do in my case? We have been married only two months, ALBERT. Answer: Your wife seems to have the club mania, and I do not know of any worse fault that a woman can have nor anything that one can do that is more _destructive of home life. Indeed, the club seems always to have been the archenemy of the home. Generations of wives have fought it and cm':flnma of the lonely spent with only the cat for company, while ir husbands were enjoying them- selves with gay companions at their clubs. Now women are developing the club habit and men are beginning to find out what it is to have their wives grab their hats as soon as dinner is over and fare forth to their clubs, leaving hubby to spend a solitary evening listening in on the radio or walking up and down the floor thinking up the things he is going to say to wifey on her return. A clubman is pretty nearly a total loss as a husband, but a woman with a bad case of club complex is even worse, bécause a man's club generally func- tions only in the evening, whereas & woman's club is a perpetual-motion ma- chine that never stops, and when they aren’t dining or banqueting or going to conventions, they are reforming or studying something and holding committee meetings. All of us know plenty of women who keep so busy with their club work that they have no time to do a lick of work at home. But clubs for both men and women, like everything else, should be taken in moderation. They are a vice only when they are overdone and indulged in to excess. It is a good thing for men to belong to clubs and to go to them, say, once a week, because it brings them in contact with other men, it stimulates them, gives them recreation and change and they often make friends that push their fortunes. It makes a man pleasanter, more interesting and more .f"' able to live with, and no wife should object to her husband going to his club on his night off, but she has a right tc object to his spending every evening there, leaving her alone at home. | Precisely the same thing may id about women's clubs. Nothing has done more for women than the woman's club movement. It has educated them, broadened them mentally and spiritually, made them more tolerant, given them something new to think about, turned their zeal for reforming things upon the general public instead of the poor men to whom they are married. Taken in broken doses, clubs are good for what ails women, and it is only when they spend their lives in an orgy of club going that their husbands should protest against it. Your wife is evidently one of these club addicts. She is one of the abnormal women who like the society of women than they do men, who are more interested l{a cuu;u than ln‘ l‘nmvxdu.lh. and who are so l::::h al in .e:nhn- ing up politics they are mot inf sweeping up own floors. a woman should never marry, for she never makes a good wife, ‘Whether you can ever cure your wife of her club mania or not is doubtful, but your only chance is to do it now, while she is still a bride. If you let it go on her case will become chronic and she will devote herself more and more to her clubs and less and less to you. 1If she has so little regard for your happiness that she is not willing to stay at home with you, I think you would be quite justified in presenting an ulti- matum to her of choosing between you the clubs, and mm one she cared for most. AT DO DIX. R DOROTHY DIX—Will you help me to decide between these two girls? No. 1 is high nnm: and wants lots of excitement. Kind hearted, very amiable and agreeable, and makes friends easily.

A neat s friendly, but with enough temper to tell you where to 2 as a confidant. Boys as a pal, but they would never think of flirting with her as they do with No. 1. A WONDERING BOY. Answer: Both girls seem paragons, and you could be happy were 'tother dear charmer away. I judge No. 1 has more sex appeal and No. 2 more good. hard sense. If you marry No. 1 you will be enter- mn:d u:lleu.muled. whereas if you take No. 2 you will be more prosperous and comfortable. But it is all a matter of taste. And, after all, that is the only thing that counts in marriage. As long as you have a wife that suits you, it doesn’t matter what she does. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1928.)
