How to Acquire Tact - Does a Woman Grow l\lore Foolish the Older She Becomes?

Dear Dorothy Dix-I am a young man aged 23, single.

lug for the other fellow. B0111 lﬂllllliei

of any kind. comes my way.

very much to marry her.

my position? UN DECIDED-

Answer:

that \\'ilS worth her taking and until I could offer lie: a decent living.

1g 1 loved n girl I would think too much of her to be Wllllllg for her to inzi:r_v a shiftless" itifcr-tlu-ivcll who cuuldnt kccp her in bread and butler and shoes.

so bagiti by putting the marriage proposition out of your head until pa, lptt») i'ill'li\‘(l the right to miii"i"y'. Let this girl be your goal. and tho any you luisale to get her will be the measure oi your desire for her.

Tl en. if I were you. I would sit doim and have a heait-to-heart session with myself. in which I would take stock of my abilities and try ti- decide on the thing that I had the most aptitude for doing. Next I would go to work and learn how to be an expert in that line. The day has gone by, if there ever was such a time, for the jack of all trades, In t. i. day (it ilrrce competition you must know how to do some one par- i ‘tr ti _ and do it better than the other fellow, if you hope to suc- r. ‘ll. l having ciccldcd on my trade or profession, I would stick iii it.

The men who are always changing about from one occupatlsn to an- other ziccomplish nothing and get nowhere. There is more to learn about (‘1l!'].'\‘lllf‘l'illg or the green grocery trade or law or medicine than any llllillilll Irving can ever master in a lifetime, evcn if he devotes his en- tire time to the study of that one su bjcct. So if you perpetually shift f: sin one job to anothcr you neve: acquire the skill or knowledge that is worth paying for in anything.

Nor do the uicn succeed who are always moving from place to place and who think they have riches waiting for them in some distant place. Opportunity knocks on just as many doors in Squedunk as it does in New’ York or London or Paris ,and just as many men make a fortune at home as do abroad.

I wouldn't waste five minutes looking for an easy job, because there are no casj: jobs that have a blue-ribbon tag on them. Every man who succeeds buys success with sweat and, labor, with self-denial, with weari- ncss, with die grim courage that made him hang on through anxiety and despair that atc out his very soul. Every dollar of every fortune is wet with hie blood of the man that earned it.

Noi- m. id I throxv up a job because I got tired of it and it ceased to iiitcie. t me and I thought I would like something else better. There is iii wii a in the world oi which you will not weary at times. Anything by v. eh you earn your living and which you do over and over again every (l4) gets to bu a tieaiily" grind.

n13" boy. your late is in your‘ own hands. You can go to work ‘of yUlXISUlf what you will. Five years from now you can be 1i.i;ip_v, prosperous and self-icspectliig. 0r you can go on as you now are and be nothing-a failure, a loafer, drifting about from ill-paid job to ill-paid job. The (lccision is tip to you. DOROTHY DIX.

General-Look here, my man, why don't you be careful?

never bring up unpleasant subjects. They never offer gratuitous critic- isms. They never say the tinintentlonal unkind things that cut you like a knife. They never get into arguments.

They bide their time and wait for the psychological moment to come when you will be in a mood to listen to their advice and suggiwtlons and will take them instead of being offended by them. They are always welcomed everywhere for their presence is as soothing as oil upon the troubled waters of daily life.

0n the other hand, the tactlcss person is always like a bull in a china shop. He smashes things right and left. He oiIcnds without intend- ing it. He hurts where he means to be kind and he stirs up strife wher- ever lie goes. The tactless woman can never resist talking about dishoncstyto a. woman whose son has defaulted or telling stories of faitliless men to a sviie, whose husband is a philanderer. She tells the mother of a delicate only child that it looks tubercular and jokes with the woman of 35 about becoming an old maid. She asks the fat woman if she hasn't put on ten pounds and tells the shallow woman how unbecoming her new green hat is to her. She can't even give you a })l‘€SC‘lll. without making it an insult and she asks her husband for money before dinner. She may be the best and kindest of women. but she is a human steamroller that ﬂattens out everybody in her pathway and she is feared and avoided accordingly.

Oi course, the best brand of tact is that which comes by nature, but anybody can acquire it. One has only to say to ones self, "Would I like seine one to do or say that to me?" ‘Would I like some one to tell me {hat my new frock is too young for me or that I am not rearing my children right or that they have heard the story I am telling before?" And if the nays have it, then suppress your candid opinion and keep silence. '

And, on the other hand, if there are certain things that you would like to have said to you, then they are the things to say to other persons.

Dear Miss Dix-I ant a girl of 18 and I am going to be married. They tell me that I am too young to many; that I dont know my own mind. I resent this, for in affairs of the heart there is no woman who knows her own mind, regardless of age. No woman knows but that to- morrow her heart may set her mind in an entirely cllllcrcnt angle from what it is today. In fact, I think that the older a woman gets the more foolish she becomes. I would like to know ivhzil l have to say along these lilies? CECIL G. T.

Answer: _

Perhaps there arc girls of 18 who have reached their full maturity who know all that they areever going to know and whose ideals and tastes wlll never change. I hope you are not one of them. Cecil, be-l cause to have reached the limit of your development at 18 would put you in the class of high-grade morons.

I trust that you are going on growing mentally, changing your view- point, getting a broader outlook, so that in ﬁve or ten years from now you will lok back on what you were at l8 with as much amusement as you do now at what you were a 8. And then you wlll wonder that you could have been so interested in playing dolls. .

And you arc mistaken, Cecil. in thinking that the older a woman gets the more foolish she gets. Just living is an education in itself. DOROTHY DIX.

PARIS August 5.—(U. P.)—A basket-weave spring coat in one of the lighter shades of green blue or brown has its attractiveness increased with the addition of a lei collar of soft fur that Schle- parelll slips over the head Just as an Hawaiian would its counter- part of flowers. The fur is twisted once or twice to give the nec- essary “different" turn.

More and more are couturlers making things practical for the society woman whose time always is so limited. This yeti!‘ they have made for her a teagown a dinner dress and a full ﬂedged evening model - all in one. A large triangular scarf attaches itself by the point to the center of the low back decolletage, comes up over the shoulders and loops in a soft bow in front. Over this a jacket ls worn with long sleeves and of a wrap-around variety at the waist. The skirt of the dress is about to the ankle, the new length decreed for dancing.
