I get the most nervous feeling and do not know if it is against my boy friend or if it is thought of getting tied for life. I think I love my finance, who is everything that is fine and good, and I can't bear to think of life without him, but I am afraid to try it with him. What shall I.do? Will I be happy if I get married? FRANTIC. Answer—Almost every man or woman goes through the same experi- ence that you are having on the eve of marriage. One gets into & panic in which one loses all perspective and which leaves persons uncertain of their own feelings and what is best to do. They are so appailed at the finality of what they are about to do that their very bones turn to water. THL'Y can see nothing but the dangers of marriage that loom before them. And most of all they feel the fetters snapping on their wrists and the doors of the prison banging behind them. The horror of losing their freedom becomes an obsession, and for the moment they feel that no man or woman is worth the-sacrifice that marriage entails. There are not many brides and uridegrooms who. if they told *he truth, would not admit that they spent the bridal eve in a blue funk, and that if they could have made a decent getaway they would have done so. But even greater than fear of marriage was the fear of gossip and the disap- probation of their friends, and so conventions drove them on to the altar. Once the marriage was an accomplished fact. ell of the bugaboos their imaginations had conjured up vanished into thin air and they started forth joyfully. DOROTHY DIX. . ee . IDEAR MISS DIX—Do you think a girl in the third vear of high school, 16 years of age, should go steady with a boy? My mother thinks so, and when any other boy me to go with him she refuses to let me. I am young and enjoy having a good time. In choosing a life mate I would like to have a variety to choose from and I can't know a boy without going with him. SWEET SIXTEEN. You are right and your mother is wrong in this matter. No girl of 16 should go just with one boy. She should have as many boy friends as possible, The reason for this is obvious. If she goes just with one boy, she narrows down her chances of marrying. THEN if a girl and boy go together continually. they are likely to think they are in love and they ere much too voung to be getting senti- mental. Most of the disastrous girl-end-boy marriages that wreck =0 many lives is the Tesult of voungsters segregating themselves from the balance of the crowd and going together until they got to thinking that their puppy love was the real thing. DEAR MISS DIX—I am depending upon you to settle my future Then. if & boy and girl go together a long time, people sssume that they are in love with each other and public opinion almost forces them to marry. even when they have no real feeling for each other. ‘The more boys & girl knows, the better chances she has of making a good match. DOROTHY DIX. When society folk were known as slon to smoke? | | J T is worse than idle to threaten a | child. Far better to keep still. A | threat usually stimulates a child | into action.

Didn't I tell you | not tc do that?” Yes, but you also told him that he had a good chance to get away with discbedience and his ears. Another form of useless threatening is the promise of dire consequences to follow some slight omissin. “All right Peter. You'll see. You'll get your feet wet and get a scre throat and the doctor will come and give you nasty medicine. ‘The doctor will fix you. You'll see.’ The inviting puddle draws Peter to it and he thoroughly wets his feet.

But part of our educaticn lies in the self-control our children teach us. When they tempt us to threaten and storm, it is our part to keep watch on our_tongues and to use our intelligence.
