Feminine Grievances

Feur tilrls Express Selves 0: Beys Vile Renal: Aleel

DEAR. MISS DIX: We are four working girb who hold good of- fice Jobs. We are single. of average means. looks and personalities. Range in age from 21 to 25. We are not looking for sympathy or ad- vice. Miss Dix. We Just want information on why the boys of today treat the girls the way they do. Here are a few of our pet grievances:

ti) Fellows of today make promises to call a girl for a date and either they don't call. or when they make a date they never show up. (2) What prompts a fellow who is going steady with a girl and taking up all of her time exclusively for a year or two, to drop her like a hot potato for no appar- ent reason? Certainly he can't be so thick-headed that it takes him that length of time to make 1p his mind about how he feels about the girl.

t3) Why is it that on Saturday night, a night that is considered almost exclusively a date night. so many boys go out stag? (4) We realize that the majority of boys are veterans-a lot of them going to scl1ool—and we do not expect t-hem to shower us with gifts. or take us to exclus- ive places of amusement. We would be satisfied with cheap dates but we don't get them. Why?

EVEN FOOD FAILS

ts) We have tried inviting the boys to our homes and feeding them on Mom's cooking and even that doesn't get us anywhere. They don't reciprocate. and we are still left wondering: why?

FOUR. DISGUSIED GIRLS

ANSWER: Alas, I am as unable to unriddle your riddle a: you are, for the way of a man with a maid is one of the mysteries tihat no one has ever solved. No one knows why some girls have date: to burn, while other girls Just as pretty, Just as intelligent. Just as attractive to the casual eye, have to flock with girls.

The only explanation that has/ever seemed tenable to me is that boys do not seem to have much confidence in their own Judgment about girls. They have to have some other man's O.K. on ‘Mary or Sally before they begin stepping out with her. Then they Join hhe throng that hover about her like bees about a honeypot. But they didn't have the nerve to go to it alone and see for themselves how pretty Mary was, or how entertaining Sally was, or what a good dancer Susie was.

Allpthat any girl needs to be a belle i: to have somebody start the procession down her alley. It would pay any group of girls who want to have a good time to hire a press agent.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: What i: the solution of the thousands

of hasty kid war marriages? Bill and I were Just two silly youngsters who got married when the war hysteria was sweeping the country and a girl felt that she was left out if she didn't have a wedding ring to show off. We hardly knew each other to speak to but everybody was marrying and we married, too.

Now he has corn: back from the Army and now we have had g chance to get acquainted with each other. wo find oursetlvs: a: far apart as the poles, without : thought or a habit or a taste in com- ‘mon. What shall we do?

t EDI-WAR BRIDE

ANSWER: Your cue i: one o! the great tragedies of the war and one to wthlch no one knows how to giv: a happy ending. Thous- ands upon thousands of returned servicemen and their wives. who find that they have lost their taste for each other, are trying to solve it b! divorce. but you Just can't return a. marriage license and call. it off a: you could a couple of movie tickets. - , There is the wife with no means of support. There are the babies whose fathers don't want them There is the young wife who has to go back to parents who are old and often can't afford to take Qflfe u! her. And the wthole heartbreaking mess is Just the result of the folly of children who married before they were old enough to know what they were doing.

DEAR Mlsfi DIX: I am the mother 0f four children and my hus- band wants me to go and live with his mother, and I don't want to do it because she and I can't get along together. He says if I do not go to his mother's he svtill leave me and take the children away from me. What can I do? ‘ UNHAPPY MOTHER.

ANSWER: Stick to your refusal to go to live with your moth”. in-law if you are not congenial. Two women who cant get along to- gether in one house can make more misery to the square inch than any other combination on eath.

Your husband is Just bluffing in threatening to take the duldren away from you. The law wouldn't permit him to do it in theflrst piece, and in the second place he wouldn't know what to do with the dzildren with nobody to take care of them, and he really doesn't want to bother with them.
