Beware the Male Parasite, the Man Who .Would Marry You and Insist That You Go On With Your Job So That He Could Live a Life of Ease Thereafter

DearM.l.uDlx——Amn.nhasbee.ncoini.natoaeeme for yean,wit.!i ver n word about marriage. but with rnany words about the Joys of a love. I am a school teacher nearing my fifties. with a very good

aid up. Now that owed to retain their teaching jobs after marriage he has suddenly made up his mind to_ ‘propose to me. with the understan that I wil go on teaching after marriage. It sine like convenience to him. I like him. but I like security better. If he had really loved me, wouldn't he have asked me to marry him before. when I would not have been able to be a wage earner? Please advise. DONEOME. B’U'I‘ WARY FORTY.

er:

You do well to be wary of this man who never discovered that he. loved you or deve an en- thusiasm for e until he found out w t a good meal ticket you are. far he bodes you no good.

If he really loves you he would not. have waited to pop the question Jlllll he was assured of your belrg ab_le to hold on to your job. He xouul have been glad that you &.\.!i0fn8l.lCBllV gave up teaching when you :narrled, and that he could take care of you and save you from the grind- iig labor and nerve strain of that most a.rdu0us oi alli professions.

_ or course, there have always been fortune hunters, men who married rich girls for their money and who thereafter a igaged in no more strenu- ziis ucciipution than wheedling checks out of neir wives. But heretofore ;he number at these domestic panhandlers luv; been small, most Ameri_ zalrieisiien preferring to get their living by work mstead of by selling them-

Now, liowever, since women have gone into business and have become money earners we seem to be developing a breed of male parasites who are so incredibly cheap and low that they make the old-time~fortune hiinler seem almost like a dignified and self-respecting human being. These are the men who marry women for their pay envelopes and with the deliberate purpose of getting wives to support, them,

_ Possibfy it may be no worse for a man to take money from a shop irl. who.~e every dollar is wet. with her very life blood, than it is to take L from a rich girl who has inherited her millions, but it seems so.

That it is becoming very common for men to marry not for love but for a. mung is not to be doubted. Ly ery day i get letters from wives who tell me their husbands have forced them to go out and get Jchs as Soon as they are rnari'ied; from wives whose husbands refuse to let them give up their positions even when they are sick; from wives whose husbands have never done a lick of work since they were married; from wives whose husbands _make them pay all of the household bills out of their E8l3.l'lBS; from wives whose husbands take all of the money they earn away from them and spend it on drink or “other women.”

It is a shock for sentimental women who think that they are marry- ing for love alone, and who dream of getting 3 strain: arm upon which to lean in a husband. to find out that theg are being married for their rarnms Capacity and that they have to o the supporting instead of being supported. But such iinhappily, is the modern set-up, and every girl who has a good. steady job does well to keep a weather eye on her suitors and try to get a line en ‘their intentions.

Don't Quarrel Over Pets in the Household

, Dear Miss Dix—My wife and I have always believed ourselves in love With each other. l-Lt now we have come almost to the pa.rt.i.ng of the ways because of her cat. I don't want the cat in the house and think its place is in the kitchen or the cellar, where there are no rugs. but every time I put out the cat she calls it in. though she knows I don't like it. and

Don't buy fruit for Jelly-making direct from a farmer following a heavy rain. The fruit is apt to be watery and you will have great trouble making your jelly firm and your preserves thick and rich. Buy your fruit for preserving during a dry spell.

GROOMING aa<TiNs WITH -rim FEET

Perfect grooming should start with the feet—-not with the head, as so many folks are apt to think Unless your feet are comfortable. you won't stand or walk in that “queenly fashion” which sets your clothes and figure off to the best advantage. And a. great d’.&l of the charm of the loveliest colffure,

Millinery shown at the couture openings avoids extreme height. cir- cept in trimming. Shallow. boat- shaped toques, often slightly vic- torain, are well sponsored.

There is much fur millinery mainly toques. but there are some brimrned shapes entirely in fur, as a leopard fedora or II. Persian canotier.

Don't borrow books from a fellow traveller: he is certain to want the book before you are finished with it and will be sorry he lent it to you.

FUR-TOPl’ED COATS

when I make a fuss about it she says I don't love her. When I find the cat on the bed I also it and try to teach it that that is not a place for it. and she immediately pets it and says that I should be ashamed to treat an animal that can't defend itself so cruelly. And it all ends in a quarrel. Bom es I lose my patience so far as to kick it out and then hell be- gins. Do you think a cat is worth breaking up the harmony of 3, home Over? ~ A HUSBAND.

Answer: Certainly not. I get your point and sympathize with your having to lay seconi fiddle to Minny or Tom, as the case may be. But, in all airness, you will have to admit that there are two sides to the matter and that it is your wife‘s house as much as yours and she is as much en-

titled to have a cat as you are to object to it

So‘ there you are, and that is what makes it so difficult for husbands and wives toladiust themselves to each other. for they have equal rights in assert their tastes and when these don't jibe what are you to do? But Eon wouldn't believe how much domestic trouble pets unbeknowingly stir
