luxury-loving Maiden

Fiance Should Try T oEnd Engagement To Spoiled Girl

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am just an ordinary fellow of 21. mak- ing a small salary. I am engaged to a girl and have been trying to save up enough money to marry her, but here's the rub: My girl friend is not willing to help me save.

She is an only child and is badly spoiled. She demands that I take her to the most expensive places, send her flowers and give her gifts. When I try to explain to her that I can't spend and save at the same time, she pulls a tantrum and we quarrel violently.

I am getting fed up on this kind of thing. Do you think I am in honor bound to marry her?

DISGUSTED

ANSWER: I certainly do not think that you are in honor bound to marry this selfish girl. But if you have any compunction about the engagement. get her to do it. That, in your case, will be the easiest thing in ‘ the world to do, because her ‘iove oi.‘ lugiury will sooii make her tire of any man who cannot indulge her in the things she desires.

A few months of your refusing to take her anywhere except to a neighborhood movie, of treating her to nothing more expensive than an ice cream soda, will turn the trick, and she will pass you up for some man who is a better spender.

You may justify y urself in forcing your girl's hand by the certainty premises, but found nothing amiss; Not satisfied, Carl lighted a lan-l

that if you married er she would be utterly miserable as a poor man's wife, and she would soon leave you for some other man who made more money.

AC!‘ NOW’

Better make the break now before you are dragged through the hell i! a marriage with a whining, complaining, dissatisfied wife who is ai- wayl having hysterics to get her own way and raising ructions because Ihe hasn't all the finery she desires.

DEAR. MISS DIX: Can n girl tell whether she is immune to love? lrn 26 years old, well-educated. good-looking, and have a very ivonder- 1 position which throws me in contact with sortie very eligible men. A few of them have found me to their liking and have asked mc to marry them, but while I enjoy the society of men l can't bring myself to con- Didor marrying. Yet at the lame time I would certainly hate to be an old maid. What 1o you think about me? BETTY H.

ANSWER: Most. likely the reason you ha\en't fallen in love is be- ilull the man hasn't come along who possessed that intangible some. ‘hing that let your pulses tingling. What this mysterious quality is you Ho not know. but one day a man crosses your path who is no better-

THE HAUNTED HOUSE

Tho haunted house of this story has long since crumbled into ruin and decay’, but at the time of our legend it stood hard h_v the hank of the East River and was occupied by a Mr. and Mrs. Carl van Biiren. Although it was built nine years be- fore. it had never been occupied un- til the van Burens took over.

On their very first night there the couple were wakened by a ser- ies of tapping noises under their bed. but neither of them took it seriously, and soon dismissed the matter from their minds.

The next night. while they were iin the living rnom—it would be about eleven tfclockkthe taps came again. hut this time from the wall in front of the fireplace, nr about.

The tapping occurred so fre- quently during the six months the couple occupied the cottage that further details of the strange oc- currence would serve no purpose in this tale. as they were always lust the same and always happen- ed in exactly the same wtznv.
