Dorothy Dix Says—

(Continued from Page t’)

Pious thieves who rob widows of their last cent. Spurious lovers who marry widows for a. living. They are all there at the killing.

Perhaps the husbands think they are making an act of devotion \vhen they leave their whole estates to their dear blariiis; but. in reality, they are dooming them to the poor house oftener than not. Every hus- hand who isn't absolutely sure that he didn't get a l-Ictly Green for a wife should make a will that ties his estate so tight on his family that the men who marry for a home, the sellers of gold bricks and the pro- moters of causes cannot rob widows and helpless children of their rights.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am IS now anti have been going steady with .-i boy to whom I am not engaged. He tells _me that he will not IQ able to marry for tltrec or four years and wants me to go steady with him It“. that time and have no other dates. Looking at it from a practical point of view I broke off with him, because I did not want any man to monopolize me when I was not certain how it would turn out in the end.

But I miss him. Can you tell me how I can get over Iilmi‘

' ‘ ' PRACTICAL, BUT LONELY

ANSWER: It seems to nie that both you and the boy have acted with a great deal of common sense in calling your love affair off until the wedding clay was, at least, in sighting distance. I think the young zman displayed a lot. of character and intelligence in telling you flatly that he would not be ready to marry for three or four years. That "nit-ans that. he is not going to ask a girl to marry him until he has some definite way of supporting her. 1 think lie is worth waiting for.

On the other hand, I highly commend you for not tying yourself down to any one man ivhile you are still just a kid. You will have a far better chance of making s happy marriage if you have had your fling and are ready to settle down.

it‘, in the meantime, either the boy or you find out that wiiat you, lclt for each other was just calf love instead of the rctil thing, you can Iirr-ak the gossamer tic that binds you without anybodys feelings being hurt.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX; I am a common-law ivife. I have three children and want the man to marry me: but he claims he cannot take time off from work, nor hos he the money for blood tests in order to marry me. He tells me he loves me, but I have lo work to take care of the family as he never gives me any money to buy food or clothes.

I love him very much. What do you think I can do? G M

ANSWER: I am afraid that there is very little that you can do to solve your unhappy problem, for evidently the man you love so dearly has no intention whatever of marrying you. His excuse of not being able to take off the few minutes it requires to get married is absurd.
