Dorothy Dix Says-

Foolish Marriage

I ill Ii Vi‘ ill I Tfl! u" “shrnlllrl Aral Maon - d’

_

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: 1 have been engaged to a girl for nearly two years and in that time we have put off our wedding ohrea times. First, because we could find no place to go, but now we have an apart- ment that we have been paying rent on for a coil?" d nwmhl. l-M Ill of our furniture is bought and paid for in full. '

Second, my fiancee decided that she didn't want to live in my homo town and would much rather stay at home. Third, she doesn't want to quit her job and her boss has promised her a raise if she stays on.

At times I don't want to get married, but feel

I have b0 3o through with it for tho girl's sake ba-

cause I fear if we broke off she would be hen-rt-

broken. Her parents were alwaya kind to me when

I was in the service and stationed here. I feel that I don't love her any more. What should I do? PUZZLE!)

ANSWER: Your situation is a perfect example of the kind of marriage that should never take place and that docs take place so often that it ruins innumerable lives. It is when two fine young people, who have only a pleasant friendship for each other, drift into an en- gagement through the sheer force of propinquity, but who find out when they have come to face getting married that they have no real affection for each other and are only being driven into doing the thing thzft will wreck their whole lives just because they haven't the cour- age to disappoint their friends and families and make themselves the subject of gossip.

y!

ONLY LUKEWARM AFFAIR.

So they keep putting off the wedding day, just as you and this girl are doing, as if it were the day of doom. If you will analyze your feel- ings. you will see that I am right. If you are so much in love with the girl that you feel you couldn't live without her, you would hustle up some sort of a place to live in. If she was in love, she would be willing to go to live where your lnteresis are. Any place would be home, sweet home to her if you were in it. And certainly a girl in love would quit her job before she would give up her bridegroom.

Finally, if your lukewarm love affair has entirely petered out; why be foolish enough to gc on with a marriage for which neither aha nor you have any desire? If you tell her that you are calling the ment off, you needn't worry about breaking her heart. Evidently she is looking forward to it with as much dread as you are, so make every- body happy by kissing and saying good-bye.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a girl of l5. I was married a few months ago and only lived with my husband five days. Since I left him I have met a sailor who loves me uery much and plans on taking mc to Ohio and our being married. But I am afraid that if he gets my divorce money and spends it all that I might find out that I. don't love him after all. So, if you were I, what would you do‘!

. CAROLYN

ANSWER: Well, if I were you. Carolyn, I hope and trust that I would have sufficient lard. horse sense to go back to my parents until I got grown up enough to use some intelligence in planning my life.

You are only 15, just a. child, and apparently very, unsophisticated even for that age, so you rush from one foolish deed into doing another still more foolish thing, and you are bound to come to grief unless you stop it. Go back home and try to behave yourself.

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: I am a man of about 50 and I go at times with a young lady of about 32. She calls me Pop and I don't like it. I have three nice sons who call me Pop and I think that is okay. but $352.“. iiflfifflilfi §§i’..“2§‘..li.i§’.’§ii“‘“‘."‘° "l" “ mm‘ m’ m“
