Delightfully becoming to the

It falls gracefully in fluid lines which are most slimming. For maternity wear, it's also sultnl>ie— the softly falling collar creating a particularly helpful feature. The dress may have. short or long sleeves.

Black jacquard satin-back crepe as the original is probably the most wearable and smartest choice for autumn. If you llkc contrast make the collar of the lustrous surface.

Dorothy Dix 's Letter Box

Once Married Men Have Broken the Ties Find There is Not the Old-Time Gayety and Freedom That They Anticipated When They Found the Marital Ties Severed

Dear Mix Dix—This is a message to married men from a mun W110 has been ihrough the mill. If there is anythinB that SW95 me 3 Pa‘? 1n the neck. it is the squawking of married men over the slavery of marriage and the joys of single life. It's the bunk. I have been married and divorced. and. b8-

» lieve me, I am getting married again as soon as I can afford it.

The trouble with these dissatisﬁed men is that they want their cake and t0 eﬂli 1i- too. They want the security and Slvifllllﬂl satisfaction of marriage without the reslwn- sibility of 11 home and having to SUPWIF B wife. They think that if they were 511181“ again life would be one long gay party with a diflercrit girl every nialli. "0 801118 110"“? until morning and everything just whoopee.

I've tried both and it is the married life for me. EXJHJBBY‘

Answer:

There are a lot of other err-husbands whose expﬁlences much “his man's and who have found that divorce has not broushi Them the m4)‘ pines they expect. For whether a marriage is happy or unhappy. ii somehow unﬁts a man for single blessedness.

Maybe it is because domesticity tames even the wildest of them and takes some of the roving spirit out of them. Maybe it is because aft-Bl‘ a. man gets used to having his wife take care of him he loses the ability to ﬁnd a. clean shirt and think of what he wants to eat. Mnybﬁ it l5 be‘ cause after a. man gels rid of his wife he ﬁnds that other women have 11159 as many peculiar little ways as she had, are no more interesting 01‘ Bllur‘ lng and cost a lot more money. Maybe it is because after having Mhlev- ed his freedom he ﬁnds that it is dust and ashes after all, and that thcrc 1's no kick in staying out late when nobody knows or cares whether Y0" ever come home at all. >

Certain it is that many a man who has regarded his home as a 111111 out of which he was crazy to break ﬁnds after he his 51115-511941 111$ WW out of it and torn it down with his own hands that there is nothing he longs for so much as to be back again in its safety. 55919" 5nd °°mt°m

The trouble with most of the disgruntled husbands who have got fed up 0n domestic life, bored by their wives and children 8nd re-“venmll °l having to spend their money on supporting a. family is that they think that if they could only get free of their wives and their responsibilities that they would be gay, light-hearted. lads again.

Thcy think how blissful it would be to be able to have affairs with women and play around with girls half their age without livinﬁ in 5TB“ of their wives ﬁnding out about it and raising ructions. They think how much fun they could ‘have hell-raising around at nights and not coming home until morning with no penalty to pay in the way of a. Jealous Wife who would go around looking like an early martyr, no curtain lectureﬁv nothing but freedom.

But when they get their divorces they ﬁnd that aft/er the ﬁrst Wild rapture of freedom has subsided that the calendar hasn't been turned back

‘ and that they are not 21, but 31 or 41 or 5i, and that they can't go the

pace with the boys and the ﬁappcrs. They don't carousc all night and work all day as they once did, and they have to my for their fun with too many headaches. They ﬁnd that they have lost heir taste for hell- ralsing as a steady thing andihat the girls they thought 80 illlm°f°u51 don't look so good when you've only them to look at. And they begin to think regretfully of the homes they have wrecked, of the peace and quiet of their own ﬁresides where they weren't expected aways to be putting On a show; where they could slump in their chairs and rest. They think 0f the good home cooking and of the women who loved them and were faith- ful to then-i and who helped them save their money instead o! gold-diz-

ging for it.

And there are mighty few of them who don‘t wish that they hadn't

broken their marriage bonds. DORDTTTY DIX- U ' U U U I

Dear Miss Dlx—Will you please give us you: opinion of the long versus the short engagement. Should a girl accept a diamond i! the enzﬂﬂemlmt ls to extend ovcr u period of several years or longer, or should she Wult for the ring until she knows that she is to be married within a certain Deriod of time? THE GIR-Lsi

Answer: I think a. long engagement is a mistake; that it is very trying 0n the

in an tinnaturnl position. They are neither bond nor free. They have not the authority over each other that a husband and wife have, yet they feelthey have a right to control each other‘: actions. mirthermore, they are taking a. long shot on the future and binding themselves to do some- thing they may not. want to do when the time oomes.

Along engagement is particularly hard on the girl because it drives away all other suitors and deprives her of the chance to marry any other man, yet she has no certainty that he man to whom she is engaged will
