H-as Onlooker Right to Interfere to Save Girl From Disastrous Marriage ? How Can iijYounger Generation Live “Own Life” When it’s Parents Who Pay for Their Blunders?

Dear Miss Dix-Is an onlocker justified in trying to break up an en- gagement in which the girl is headed straight for disaster? The girl is ittractive, a good cock, thrifty, sweet-tempered. Her dance 1s a pelted. ' well-io-do son of a. wealthy family who has never worked a day in his life and calmly admits that he doesn't intend to until it is forced upon him. He never has money to take her anywhere or make her a gift. -If she docs anything that doesn't suit him, he calls her all kinds of names which she ex- cuses on the ground that she likes masterful men. His one interest in life is gambling, for which he constantly tries to get her to give him some of her small salary to use in betting on horses or numb- ers. Yet this girl confidently believes that on their wedding day he will change into a loving hus- band who will be her heart's desire. Her mother is dead. She has no one to advise her. Should I take that ollicc on mYSCU? A WOMAN FRI-END- Answer:

l: would be no use. A girl that infatuated has taken leave of her senses and is blind to every fault the man possesses, no matter how clear- ly you point them out to her and deaf to all reason. no matter how logic- ally you try to convince her that marriage worlu no miracle in a man's character, and that what he was before marriage he will be afterward. Nobody on curth can explain why an otherwise intelligent woman can iieludc herself into believing that a man who is a lazy loafer who has IIQVCI‘ earned a penny before marriage will become a hustler and a gogei-ter as soo nas the preacher miimbles a, few words over him. Or how one can beiool herself into thinking that marriage will change a sot into a sober m-.in or a roue into a domestic one or make a gambler abhor games of chance or turn an abusive sweetheart into o. tender and con- ' ' siderate husband, but thousands upon thousands of women do stulify themselves this way and marry on this platform. Which is why we have so many miserable wives and so much divorce. It is very, very seldom that a man has either the subtlety or takes the trouble to deceive a girl about the kind of man he is. He doesn't bother to conceal his faults and his ureaknesses from her. Not once in a hund- red times does a girl marry a man who wrinks too much without know- ing it. Nearly always she has seen him drunk dozens of times. Nor docs a girl often marry a. philanderer without knowing he is a woman- chaser. Almost. always she has had her heart "torn into ribbons with jealousy time and again and has known she could not hold him even in the days of courtship.

Rarely, if ever, does a girl marry a man who is brutal or grouchy or stingy without knowing it. He has given her a taste of his quality by saying insulting things to her or being niggardly to her and by mak- ing her crawl in the dust before him and apologize to him for the things he has clone himself. But the poor deluded creatures. knowing the men for what they are, go on and marry them believing with childlike faith that marriage throws some sort of conjure over a man that changes him from what he is into what he ought to bc. And against this superstition all argument is in vain. Though you spoke with the tongues of men and of angels you couldn't convince a girl that the renegade she is in love with will not turn into a saint on her wedding day. Nothing but. hcr own experience will teach her the truth and then it is too late. ‘That is why people are so loath to interfere in a love affair, even ivhén they fcel it their duty to at least light a. red lantern of warning that might apprise a girl or boy of the danger ahead. I knew, for instance, of a splendid young man who moved into a community in which he knew no onc and who promptly fell in love and married a girl who went insane ivithin a year. Every one knew, but. nobody told him that for genera- tions the girl's family had been filled with lunatics and epileptics. I have known highly bred and cultured girls whose lives were embittered when they had to live among their husbands’ relatives and found out that they were coarse and vulgar and illiterate, with no social position whatever. Yet a friend knew this and kept silence. And the excuse of these people is that it would have done no good and only made them enemies. That the young man and the girl in lovc would not have listened to the voice of warning. And ninety-nine times out of a hundred this would be the case. DOROTHY DIX.

l I I Dear Miss Dix-My wife had an argument with our daughter the other day about marriage and among other things the girl told her was thin-that it was her life and she had a right to live it as she pleased, and what was more that she did not ask to be brought into the world What would you have answered her?

It gen- erally passes down the beck of the thigh, and may even affect the leg. _ Rest, in bed to begin with is sound treatment. Heat in any form-—hot. ironing, and hot water bottles-is of benefit and relieves the pain. Electrical treatment is metimes beneficial. Massage should be avoid- ed for this increases the inflam- mation. It is useful only in chronic cases where the muscles of the leg have become wasted from lock of use. It is important to keep the baw- els regularly open. The diet should contain plenty of green vegetables, not too much meat, and very little sugar. ‘ The teeth should also be examin- ed. An un ‘ absoessat one of the roots, even if causing no D1111. may be at the bottom of the trouble. 1

HOME COURSE INCLUDES "KEEPING HOUSE"

Home manageme t is not a. mere academic course of studies for girls taking the House Economics Course at Manitoba Agricultural College. For at least one month in each of their last two years girls have to "keep house” with all the myriad duties it entails. They take their turn at planning and cooking meals, mending, tending babies and Kflrlfiffllly making the home mach- inery run smoothly and make both ends meet. 36mm ms an experiment four wars ago. the students "homo" has developed into a pennaneng institution.

But with the spring winds 010M118. lust a. casual once-over morning and night just simply won't do the trick. There is nothing like good, bland soap and water, plus a wash rag, to get your face clean. Start with some cold cream, if your skin feels particularly dry and taut and tired. Cleansing cream will do if you aren't too dirty. Then wipe off all the dirt that you can, and you're probably con- stantly surprised at. how much comes off. Now start with your real washing.

ation. Hyper-sensitive, very vain or eccentric people are quite easy to offend. and often not easy to pro- pitiate, and in trying to set matters right one may often go dowel‘ 111w the mire.

The man or woman who makes a joke at a difflcult. mom- ent, however bad the joke may be, should always be blessed. For the joke always makes the moment seem less difflcult or helps it to pass more easily.

Edward Wags, a. retired London banker, who died recently aged 89, and was cremated at Golderk Green, might well go down in his- tory as an employer to whom the servant problem meant nothing.

For 50 yearn he had maintained a large staff of servants at his beau- tiful riverside home, the Islet. Ivibidenhead, and also at his Lon- don house.

New faces appeared in his ser- vants’ halls during those 5D years, but always the newcomer was pre- destined tc long service with "the man who kept his servants."

M Mr. VWagfs death his head couihman was still holding that position after 47 years.

His housekeeper, Mrs. Keats, is still living, at the age of 92, at the Islet, after 43 years in his service. For many years she has been an invalid, and Mr. Wagg has provid- ed for her in her old age.

Many other servants had been in Mr. Wang's employ for upwards of 25 years, while others were pen- sioned off.

A BACHELOR

"Mr- WEEK'S servants were not his servants but his friends," said an old friend to a reporter.

"There will never be another master like him. There were Qbaroe- ly any changes in his staff through- out. the years except those enforc- ed by age."

Mr. Wagg never married. For 50 years he lived with his servants, and in tho'cfmipany of his 11m long friend, Mr. J. K. Edwards.

Mr. Edwards was married last year at the age of '73, and was pro- sent when Mr. Wagg died in his sleep at his home.
