Dutch Treat

Women Should Share Expenses Of Entertainment With Men

DEA!- MISS DIX: The women of today are just leeches. They have no mercy on a man's pocketbook. When they go out on a date they ex- ect to be taken to the most expensive clubs and to order dinners at a rice they never would consider if they had to pay it. And they rarely. if ever, invite the boy friends to nibble on even a chop in their homes. Now the practice of the man footing all of the bills when he takes a girl stepping is a hang-over from the old days when women did not work out- side the home, had no income and were dependent on men; but that ls all changed, and customs should change with it. Most girls are self-supporting. They have jobs and good salaries, and there is no more excuse for them being social deadbeats than there is for men. They should pay their part of the ex- penses of an evening out. It should be automatically understood that it is Dutch Treat. If we men had the courage to get together and organize a club for ‘the protection of men against the lady-grabbers, I would be willing to be president of the Anti-Leech Association.

FOOTE LE BILY SOCIAL ABUSE

ANSWER: Heaven send you success in your undertaking, brother. For if there is one social abuse that needs to be reformed more than

- another, it is women's propensity for grafting. No matter what other

virtues a woman may possess. fair play rarely is included among them. and she just naturally can't see that a man has any right to the money he makes. She feels that he should spend it on her.

So, somehow, she has been foxy enough to keep alive the old tra- dition that a man is a heel if he doesn't pay all the expenses when he takes a girl out on a date, even if her pocketbook is ten times as heavy as his is. Whe nthere is no man in sight, Angelina walks to save bus fare and lunches on a sandwich, but when some poor dub of a man is paying for it she rides in taxis and eats caviar.

Girls make a fatal mistake when they do not institute the 50-50 schedule in dealing with their boy friends. They would have twice as many good times if they would split the price of an evening's entertain- ment betwween them. Reciprocity is the key word to popularity. Try it_, girls.

DEAR MISS DIX: (I) Which is proper-Jor a daughter to visit her mother-in-law first out of respect to her husband, or go first to see her own mother? (2) Whose parents pay the expenses of an engagement, the girl's parents or the man's parents? Also, who pays the expenses of Ihe marriage?

r o. VITA

ANSWER: If you hage to be so all-fired formEl about the matter, the man's mother is expected to pay the first call on a prospective bride's family. This is merely a gesture of good will. After marriage there is no rule about whether a woman should go to see her own mother or her mother-in-law first. It is a cstch-as-catch-can arrangement in which convenience and circumstances play a part.

Engagement parties generally are planned and paid for by the bride-to-be's family. However, there is no reason why, if the groom's family and the bride's family have been friends over a period of time,

special party may not be given by the groom's parents in honor of is fiancee.

The girl's family is expected to pay practically all the expense of a daughter's marriage.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: At school, people make remarks about the gloomy way I act. I simply can't think of anything to say. Anti I don't use any tact. Is there any way 1 can develop a nice personality?

L. M. B.

ANSWER: Don't worry about not having anything to say. Most people talk too much and are tickled to death to get somebody who will lend them his ears. All you've got to do to make yourself popular is just to look thrilled and murmur "how interesting" every now and then.

You can cure yourself of looking gium by cultivating the smile that won't come off. Practice it before the mirror until you learn how to do it.

You can cultivate a nice personality by being kindly, friendly, simple and unpretentious and doing something to make other people happy. Quit thinking about yourself and concentrate on those about you, and you will be popular.

Ellen ’s Diary

Pat deserted us in holidu-tlme. One day I saw him at work, in the field on the slope beyond the pond, and the next I looked there in vain for him. Like the birds, the robins whose songs help to make the warm seasons at Alderlea and other Island farms so delight- ful, or the other songsters-the thrushes that sing at evening for one sitting idly on the old stone door-step, the song drifting there from the edge of the neighboring woodlands in the rose of the after glow. and whose departure leaves us lonely when the approaching Fall takes them to warmer cllmes. so Pat, good friend of ours and the rest of the community. has hied himself away to the city for the colder season to come. A fine fel< low is Pat. Gifted with the kind- iy.$ubtle wit of the Irish. honest and capable and full of a rare and fine philosophy. not gleaned ul together from books but picked up in a seemingly casual but really intensive study of human nature down the years. "And what is your opinion of him?" I have asked him of a mutual acquaintance curious to obtain his point of view. Pat would remove his pipe from his mouth. lamp (lawn the hot tobacco care- fully with o. broad thumb. the" replace it, obviously deliberating all the while.

HOLIDAY HELP IIUSBANDS

Make these concessions, wives, on your vacation trip this summer . . just for your husband's sake.

Don't pack enough clothes to last you six months if you are going on a two weeks’ automobile trip. Sure, it's a vacation and you hate to be hurried, but do try to speed up your dressing time, so that your husband doesn't feel like he is wasting half of his vacation waiting for you to get ready to do this or that.

Don't insist on looking up ac- quaintances in every town you go through, especially if they are friends of yours who have never even met your husband.

Do be systematic about your pack- ing so that you aren't constantly asking your husband to haul in half a dozen bags every time you stop for the night.

If you have left the children be- hind. ‘don't keep wondering oui loud if they are getting along all right. if you can't help woirying about them, worry silently.

Don't insist on doing everything and going everywhere the girls have told you that you mustn't ITIISS.

Don't let a single argumen‘ mar the fun of your trip. It takes two to argue so all you have to do to keep peace is keep still when things don't go just right.

But above all act as you're having fun. So many wives wear their worries on their faces even when they're supposed to EBCBUOIWHB to get away from i a .

MATCH 0B CONTRAST?

New York — Will the hat match the costume this year or will it contrast? ,Thst question is one that had to be decided by the fashion co-ordinators. -'1‘he answer again was in the spirit of fall clothes. Here you have freedom of choice. If you choose, you may select a hat that exactly matches your suits, or you may-and be perfectly cor- rect-choose one of the new colors in contrast or in harmony with your costume. The great ranges of color shown by Sally Victor, Howard Hodge, Lilly Dache, Madame Paul- ine, and Bragsard all point up the fact that women may do as they like in this field.

FEAR OF INFECTION

Many of the serious diseases that ravage Canadian homes could be brought under a considerably great- er measure of control if early diag- nosis and treatment could be brought to bear. In many cases people who suspect they have tu- berculosis or cancer put off having a medical examination for fear they will be found to be infected and be forced to leave their jobs and enter hospital. These people do not fully realize that by delaying the exam- ination they are merely prolonging the treatment and possibly en- dangering their chances of suivivaif
