DOROTHY DIX SAYS-

Marry In Own ‘Age I Range

Mon, 48, Should Think Twice Before Marrying Divorced Girl Of 32

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: You seem to discuss mainly the love af- fairs of young people, but what about we middle-aged men? Specifically me. I am 48 years old and am very much interested in a girl who is 32 Ind who has been twice divorced. My problem is twofold. (l) Is the nge difference to.) great for a happy marriage? (2) ls a girl who has

been twice divorced at the age of 32 a poor risk for any man? I command a very high salary in my profession and um in a very good financial condition. Because of this 1 question my Girl Friend's sincerity, and yet would she be likely to risk making another matrimonial mis- take? She comes of fine stock, but there is something unstable about her. ‘ l appeal to you for your opinion because to be truthful I lack the confidence I had when I was twenty years younger. What are my chances of success? THANKS

ANSWER: A mun of 48 does well to stop, look and listen and do a lot of hard thinking before he marries a giri much younger than him- self. For at middle age the cards in the love game are stacked against us. We are no’ longer pliable. We are set in our ways. We have been b the circus and ridden on the Merry Go Round and we want to settle down and rest our feet. And, above all, we have acquired habits and tastes that are nearer and dearer to us than our next of kin and that We can't bear i0 part with. ,

SERIOUS STEP

lilarriuge is a much more serious proposition at 48 than it is at 28, so put that fact in your cigarette and smoke it before you take the fatal step. To marry a girl who is 16 years younger than you are is under any circumstances a dangerous risk, for the nearer the same age a hus- band and v/ife are, the more apt they are lo have the same point of view and to have less to fight over.

Nor is it any recommendation for a girl to have been twice married and twice divorced at the age of 32. It indicates that she is a poor picker of men, or that she is fickle and changeable, or that she is a qultter who would not stand by her husband in any emergency and bat it out with him.

But, on the other hand, there is always the chance that the girl who has been married and divorced a few times has learned her lesson in the hard school of experience, and that it has developed her from being a playgirl into a fine woman. Of course, every rich man stands a chance of being married for his money. but that doesn't happen to the middle-aged man as often as it does to the boy. A man at 48 knows lots of things about women that he didn't know when he was a kid.

Anyway, marriage is a gamble for either the young or old, and per- haps a divorcee is as good a risk as any.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a girl of 19, a senior in high school and will graduate this term. I have never had a date and I would so much like to have dates and to go about as other girls do, but my father and mother keep me a virtual prisoner. My mother says she never even thought about a boy until she was 3O years old. My father says that as long as I am under his roof he has a right to control me. When I remind them that things have changed since their youth, they say that all the young people of today are going to hell and that I am going with them.

Is there any way I can make my lot less miserable?

. M. L. S.

ANSWER: It is no wonder we have so many delinquent children when we have so many tyrannical parents who use no sense or justice In dealing with their teen-age boys and girls. It is a pitiful thing for girls who wusnt to enjoy the springtime of life, who want to have pretty clothes as the other girls have, and have boy friends, and to dance and

o places, to have fathers and mothers who deny them all the pleasures hat go with their time of life.

The parents think that they are doing their duty by their daugh- ters and protecting them from what they think are the dangers of life, hut they are really throwing them to the wolves. For youth will not be denied, and the girls who cannot take their pleasures openly take them secretly and do thinks they would never dream of doing if they could talk their affairs over with Mother.

DEAR MISS DIX: ls it wrong to marry a man I met through the Lonely Hearts Club? I have been going with one for two years and have met his family and they are fine people. He makes a good salary and has a large sum saved.

MRS. D. M.

ANSWER: Certainly not. Many happy marriages have resulted In shy and lonely men and women, who had no social contacts, meeting at the Lonely Hearts Club. The danger in the Lonely Heart Clubs is that so often men and women who have their only contact through the mail marry strangers of whom they know nothing whatever.

LAND 0F PHANTASY

By Uncle Joe

If you never have troddan the crazy cow-paths that are its only means, of entrance and exit. never have heard the strange sweet music of its magic minstrels, if you never have dropped to sleep under the influence of its Morpheus-like spell. and have not dreamt of queer places and seen strange sights, then in- deed you have missed the magic touch that they say comes 1o all folk who enter the swampy, mossy region lying along the shore high- way leading to the fishing village of St. Peter's.

In bygone days the people called this spooky jungle the Land of Phuntasy, for once you crossed the threshold you found yourself in an- other world-—a World where all sense of direction was lost, and where one's powers of reasoning became a jumbled cross-word puz- zle. About one hundred and twenty years ago a white child strayed into this magic land, and though it often was heard mingling its voice with the voices of wild beasts it never again was seen by mortal eye.

The few settlers who were bold enough to enter the region, in search of the missing youngster. soon found themselves falling to sleep, lulled by melodious music and the aroma of some woodland plant that had about the same effect as a narcotic.

And those who fell asleep slept soundly. Days and sometimes weeks passed before they were able to shake off the effects of the wood- land drug and return to their homes.

Strange tales came from their lips-stories about fine castles oc- cupied by giants, and tiny abodes where dwelt fairies. in their dreams they also beheld castles of gold. and lakes whose waters were white us milk. Upon the bosom of the lakes sailed little ships filled with winged creatures that played, upon harps of silver, music that simply stole the heart away and seemed to transport the spirit to some un-

the JELL-O box.

While it has that the removal of tonsils will not prevent ordinary colds. it generally is agreed that where there are frequent sore throats and rheuma- tic pains. the tonsils should be re- moved between attacks.
