Scientific Mote-Selection Girl Would Choose Husband ly Listing Faults. Virtues

DEAR MISS DIX: Do you believe that a girl should look for Ii Tusband in a purely scientific manner and consider only those qualities

hat would make him an ideal mate? Why would it be wron! for me o make an impersonal survey of all the men I know, sorting out their good and bad points and coming to a conclusion as to‘ which one is best Iuited for me? Need a girl fall desperately in love with a man to make l happy marriage? I believe a husband should be chosen like you buy t dress. Surely affection and may!" 1°" will Come afterinarriase-

I know that I can be a good wife and a good mother. too. Do you think I would be treating my husband fairly if I married him with the knowledge that I wasn't in love with him?

LOUISE

ANSWER: Theoretically the marriage of conveni- ence should be the preferred risk, for it takes into consideration all of the things about which most hus- bands and wives fight. John marries Mary not be- cause he is madly in love with her, but because she is of the same social status, belongs to the same church, is a good cook and has a nice dowry. And Mary doesn't marry John because he is her dream man, but be- cause he is a good, sturdy chap who will stay hitched and who will be n good provider.

These marriages oi’ convenience that are short on romance but long on practicality are \'ery common abroad. where they seem to work out satisfactorily; but they are not so popular in this country, where biarriage is more of an adventure and less of a life job.

NO SUCH ANIMAL

This ls what puts the skids under your plan of getting an ideal husband by piecing together the good qualities of different men. It can't be done, tor there is no such animal as n perfect husband. You have to take them as they come and shut your eyes to their faults.

Nor is choosing a husband like you would buy a new dress a safe het. No woman can know in advance how her husband or her dress is going to stand everyday wear and tear. nor how soon she is going to get tired of either. The one and only sure thing about marriage is how big n supply of love you can bring to it. If you have enough of that. you will be blind to your husband's imperfections and love his faults because they are his.

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband and I have been married for four ‘years. Last night he told me that he loved a girl who is only 1T, and lshe loves him. but he says he is afraid that if he gets‘a divorce he may cake a mistake, because he also loves me. He wants me and he also

ants her. and he doesn't know which one of us he loves the best. But while he is making up his mind about it he wants to go on liv- ni! in the same house with both of us until he can decide. Should get a divorce? I don't. want one. because I love my husband so much hat every time I think about it I die a thousand deaths. What shall I o? Wc have three children. BEWILDERED “IIFE

ANSWER: 1f there is one individual in the world more pathetic

han any other. it. is the woman who is all heart and no backbone, and ho lets a miserable cad of a husband flaunt his lnfidelities in her face. uch is your sad case. and it is adding insult to injury when he brings is current flame to live in the same house with his wife.

If you were a stronger woman, I would say take your children and leave a husband who has neither respect nor affection for you, as he phows by bringing his mistress to your house. But. as you are one of the women who is so obsessed by love that she has neither pride nor dig- nity left, I should say. do not get a divorce that will break your heart. Wait. That type of man will always be unfaithful to his wife, but in ‘the end he will come back to her.

DEAR MISS DIX: My sister is getting married in a couple of (weeks. All the attention is given to her trousseau and showers and I haven't been noticed for months. I am 16 and just as madly in love with a boy of 18 as my sister is with her fiance and I am going to elope with him before my sister's wedding. My sister has always done everv- tthing first and I have decided to beat her to it this time and get mar. ried first.

A FORGOTTEN HEART

ANSWER Evidently you are piqued because your sister has the limelight, but that is a bride's prerogative. It is her last fling and you shouldn't begrudge it to her, for when she folds away her wedding fin. ery she is no longer the center of attraction, she is just Mrs. So-and-So.

You will miss all of that if you elope. So don't you think you will [Ly a pretty high price for spiting your sister? .

Ellen 's Diary

By an Island Farmer's Wife

We visited the city today. com- ing there with our younger far- mer, who took a fat hog to market. -It is most comforting for a far- mer's wife to know as she rides along to a shopping trip that she is taking with her some collateral as well, if it be on the hoof! "Oh the poor man!" we have comment- ed to James before this of some farmer we have passed by car. as he journeyed to town less comfort- ably by farm-wagon. e e .

But James. who does have a fair- ly good point of view of, well, at least, a number of things, un- touch d by fancy‘: gentling hands woui say: "You can save your pityfEllen! He is the one to be proud on this trip. Didn't you no- tice what he has in the wagon? He's taking in a load of fat hogs. And have you considered what we're doing at the moment? We're just burning up gas," and James. always thorough in any calculation would be sure tn add, "and oil, to say nothing of the wear and tear of the car." n e o "No, Ellen," he would continue. “never pliy or look down from n car on a farmer on his way to mar- ket with stock or produce in a wagon. The chances are that the way is not over-long to him and in comparison the transportation is not costing him as much either. In- deed as old Mrs. Y. used to say in the long ago, and they were always pretty prosperous: ‘It's vcry nice to have a few crocks of butter un- der the seat of the buggy, when you're off to town on a buying trip'!" O O O

We had various items of buying to attend to today. not the least of which, from a personal point of view, was the purchase of wall- paper and paint to brighten the pantry and kitchen. an interest which is of no small importance to any rural housewife. - - - Only rc- cently one in writing enclosed a clipping of the design she had used. which I may say. brought me at once to the very door of her house.

It was a soft green, the shade that is so easy to live with. in an all-over pattern that reminded one of lush Summer-growing ferns, and here and there tucked in fetchinti- ly was the picture of a farm-house. One could imagine the busy woman within, taken up with the affairs of her home, and almost see the welcoming lights twinkling forth in the stillness and calm of evening.

Ii; was a pretty paper, and we should like to have chosen one sim- ilar, but James is not at all taken up with that color though we do smuggle it in occasionally in furn- ishings or decorations, it is so restful and neutral, toning in ai- ways with any shade - - - as docs the grass which holds the colorful and many hued flowers, So we chose a paper in a marble effect in quiet colors but warm and inclin- ed to be a rich ivory or maybe more tannish in shade. e e o It ao happened that during the day, we came upon many another housewife intent and obviously wor- rled in making her selection. "If you've got your mother along, and she's bent on getting wallpaper," James laughed to our younger far- mer when we stopped o. moment in the machine to check our inci- dentais before leaving the yard. "you won't be back too early--your day will be pretty well taken up. I know, for I've. served my appren- ticeship at that!" Which statement like others we may hear, is only true in part. O O Because should we succeed in get- ting James to accompany us to the store he might he content to re- main during the early stages. though he would be apt to seize upon any excuse to leave us in fa- vnr of the outside air and sunshine. and his own pursuits. Or should he stay at one's shoulder. the sei~ ection would need to be brisk. "There-I like that," he would nod. within a few, n very few minutes. which of course would at once de- cide the purchase. O O

But if thoughts still centred on a matter still dear to our heart we should comment on the way home: “I'm not sure whether ur not I like all those flowers in that wallpaper," James would return in an absent-minded way: "Wallpa- per, Eilen - - - flowers? I don't remember any flowers in it! It'll be all right though. nice and clean and bright - - - and anyway you've got it bought" pnd with a long sigh of relief "and that means something!" We suspect that no man world-over can appreciate the importance of the event to n farm- wife when she makes a selection of wallpaper for her kitchen! - - - Moonlight steals in to ours and Tabby the old mother-cat pads to the door. Bed-time has come.

‘Pf-TIE dynamic force of an all- powerful and moving planet on this day. urges the importance of being prepared for a swift grasp of a aud- iien and quite unpredictable visita- tion-of radical and far-reaching influence on the life and its destiny. Sudden changes invoiiAng the very foundations of life, with inovs- tions. inventions, a compelling drive for new pastures and strange ad- venturas, should be unhesitetingiy embraced.

Some years ago the physicians and surgeons of Philadelphia made a determined effort to cut doom the death rate in appendicitis. Within one year they reduced it to less than half of v/hat it had been. How was the death rate reduced by more than one-half in this short time? ‘ These physicians had learned from their own experiences three definite truths First, that the soon- er the operation was performed the better; second, that no food should be given; and third, that no pain- kililng drug should be used until the cause of the pain was founo‘ not to be appendicitis, as this drug masked or hid the symptoms. When a pain occurs in the sib- dcinvin. even as high up as the stomach, many think that a dos» of castor oll or of Epsom salts is the best treatment, as it clears away poisons or wastes that may be causing this pain. This would be good treatment in most cases but for the fact. that appendicitis is such s. common cause of pain in the abdomen. We know that a slug- lish liver and gall bladder causes gas and gas pressure causes pain. Constipation whether from nervous spasm or from a lazy large bowel, is another common cause of pain in the abdcmen.

The reason a cathartic, like cas- tor oll oa- Epsom salts. is danger- ous, should appendicitis be causing the pain. ls because a cathartic stimulates so much movement in the intestine and. this extra amount of movement may cause the appen- dix io rupture. A ruptured appendix causes peritonitis, the cause of most deaths in appendicitis. Today, the advice of physicians is that when a palm oocurs in the right lower side of the abdomen (which pain may have started highcr up in the stomach a fcw hours beforei and "remains" in the appendix region for an hour with- out shifting elsewhere, to call a physician at once.

In previous days it was not. un- usual for patients to be transport- ed to a large city for an operation. which meant delay and a greater chance of rupturing the appendix. Today, the “néareslf hospital has surgeons capable of removing the appendix iin a matter of a few min- utes.
