Women Love To Hear Them: Men Hate To Say Them

DEAR. MISS DIX: I've been engaged for two years and plgn 1,, be married this summer. ,When we began going together. my fiance told me he loved me. but since then he'll never say it. if I ask him -he just says. "You know I doi" He's in the Army now, coming lm-n.' on week ends. In his letters he tells me he loves me. but never will he say it when he sees me.

if he doesn't tell me now. I'm sure he won't Iay it after we're married. He is a very shy and re. served person.'I-ie never shows any emotion, even anger. There's never a scene it something dig. pleases him; he Just. doesn't talk. We're both in our middle twenties, so I don't think I'm being

childish about this. CALAMITY JANE

It has been suggested that a tax be levied on overwelghts in proportion to their degree of ov- erweight. While this suggestion comes from Denmark, it could quite properly become law here, that is. in cases -where no reason- able elfort has been made to re- duce weight. At the Central Hospital in sveudborg. Drs. Krarup and C. J. Schwensen have undertaken an analytical study of the weight of patients treated in this hospital in i948 and 1849. After the eliniina- tion or dismissal of 569 patients under the age of 15. and 147 om- er patients, they were left with 2,429 patients over the age of 15. They were classified according to their ages and weights. and the normal weights at different ages were based on the figures of a life insurance company. As these fig- ures were not considered ideal. especially for elderly people, the patients were allowed a lo per cent margin above these normals before being included among the overweight cases.

According to this staiidard 310 (12.8 per cent) oi the 2,429 pa- tients were overweight. About two-thirds of these patients were over 50. A study oi 242 overweight patients showed that on the av- erage each oi them had spent nearly five days more in hospital than the average for all the hos- pital patients. These 242 patients had been admitted to hospitals for reasons directly or iudirectly,part-

ANSWER: Frequent declarations of affection are, I know, what a girl in love craves most. But alas. they are also what most men hate to make, A man feels that if he has once asserted his love. it can safely be taken for granted from that point on. And the one thing a woman never takes for granted is her beloved's devotion. It's just a rim, of a woman's sentimental nature contracted with a man's practical one.

DEVOTION GOOD SUBSTITUTE

You rightly assume that if you don't hear the three magical words now, you won't hear them after the wedding. As a substitute you will have day-by-day devotion, affection and consideration. You'll just have to learn to make them do. A husband who doesn't make constant ver- bal declarations of love, but shows his feelings with loyalty and fidelity, is surely to be preferred to the man who violently asserts his love. then stay: out every night spending his salary on himself.

A reasonable man should realize how much importance women place on such seemingly small things. and make an effort to please them by saying the sweet nothings. making the affectionate gestures that spell romance. Why they are so dense is one of life's mysteries. Until a magic formula is devised to turn every man into n hard-work- ing, domesticated husband with just the proper dash of Don Juan, wives of unromanflc males will have to be satisfied with the crumbs of demonstrative love.

Your fiance is apparently one of those strong. silent men who can be a considerable problem. Learn early when it's safe to ask questions, and when it's better to be silent. Respect his silent moods. but don't overlook surllness or sulkiness. Diplomatic handling is called for in dealing with self-contained people. They are well worth the trouble. however, as they're greatly to be preferred to the nagging. haggling, over-curious type.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have been accused of not having a sense of humor. but do you think it's funny of my mother-in-law to tell our little boy that I am not his mother and that he doesn't have to mind me? She is always saying things like that to him and the child is getting very confused. If i complain. she tells my husband she's only joking. Then he becomes angry wiili me and says I shouldn't take her so seriously.

The little bush in this garden has been here for many years and it,is the D. Menereum variety with purplish rosy blossoms that come before the leaves and it is the most fragrant early shrub.

Have you ever walked around the garden in the rain looking for color and fragrance in early spring? It is a satisfying pleasure if the rain is warm and gentle and you have an umbrella over your head to keep you dry.

Sweet Peas have been planted and also new Phlox and new Roses. These Roses are the Hybrid Tea varieties and are all very fra- grant. It is necessary to take care in their planting. and if the roots are kept in a bucket of water while planting they will not dry out which is fatal to all newly planted stock.
