LivmgaSt Leisure /THE woman's REALMI,

Girl Oannot Understand . Why Man Sticks To Wlfl

DEAR LESS DIX: I sin desperately in love with a married man and know that he loves me, although he has never told me so. I nave done everything to force his wife to divorce him. I have flirted with him right under her eyes. I have called him up over the phone. telling her that he was having an affair with another woman, but she pays no attention. '

Shall I ask her to give him up so that he can marry me? Oh, vizhy (o some men have to be so noble? Why doesn't he just kick her out.’ MISERABLE ME

I ANSWER: I'd say the reason he doesn't. kick her out is because he prefers her to you. and the sooner you realize it the better it will be for you. Every foolish young girl who falls in love with a. married man believes that he is equally enamored with her and that he is Just dying to cast his wife aside and marry her.

VAMFS MISTAKE

This is where the office vamps make a fatal mistake. for while the middle-aged man may en- joy having an affair with a girl he works with who throws herself at his head and. while it flatters him and makes him feel young again to be having dates and proving that he is still a devil among the ladies. it doesn't mean Reno. It l5 just the upsurge in him of the some impulse that made him play hookey from school, and that is all that is in it as far as he is concerned.

Not many married men. even among those who are philanderers. want divorces. They prefer their true-and-tried Marias to the light-o‘- loves. Tlicy do not want to break up their homes. They do not want to be separated from their chzldren. They do not want to have to pay alimony as well as support another wife.

And they know that it does them no good in their business or socially to swap a good and faithful wife for an office wife. Many a man is mined by it because the wife has rich and important friends and family who turn the back of their hands i0 him whcn he casts her off without l'f‘ll>£lll.

You are wasiiiig your time trying to work your married sweet- heart iip to the point. of divorcing his wife and marigving you. Turn your guns on some likellcr grime.

DEAR MISS DIX: We are two girls of 17 and are both expecting babies. We are afraid lo tcll our parents because they arc of tho old- lashioncd type who will feel disgraced. Shall we fell our boy friends. who are in service, about this? Please tell us exactly what to do.

B. AND L.

ANSWER; All parents are old-fashioned when the little young girls, whnm thcv love so dearly and whom they have tried so hard fol protect, bring shame upon them. But the only thing you can do now, is to go to them at once and cast yourself upon their mercy and for- giveness and let them try to help you through your ordeal the best they can.

Certainly tell the boys and try to get them to marry you so that you will not add to your crime by bringing a fatherless child into the world.

DEAR MISS DIX: We are two girls of l6 and would like to know WHY people kiss? When our boy friends wanted to kiss us good- night, we asked them WHY and what was the sense of it. The oniy1 reason they could give was that we were their girl friends and that they thought they should. We kissed them, but it made us wonder

why people did it. a TWIN SISIIERB

- ANSWER: 1t is an unsanitary custom that seems to have little justification, yet it prevails mostly among civilized people, which peculiarity nobody can explain. Many savage tribes rub their noses together instead of their lips, which appears to be on the more esthetlc side. In Japan, kissing is considered more or less indecent, and one of the burdens of the censors is cutting them out of all moving pic- tures. Wlhen you see a girl with her mouth caked with red paint, you can't see why it would be alluring to any youth. Nor can you sec why any girl would ivant to be kissed by a man whose mouth was full of sneggled teeth and bad breath.

Kissing is no proof of love. for we all see women kiss each other who would much prefer to bite ii’ they had their choice. And Judas betrayed our Imd with a kiss.

So why do people kiss? It is the $64 question that nobody can

This batter somewhat resembles the brownie mixtures, in character and treatment -— but it is not so close-textured. The cake is moist and keeps well, if properly stflred, foi- two or three days. The marbled effect is not emphatic, but it does show; the chocolate flavor is deep enough for interest in the part of the batter to which the cocoa is added, yet the overall flavor is on the delicate side.

He spoke to Jamie. who re- turned yeeterday to continue as our house guest. at breakfast; “I guess it will be our choreto clear any rubbish out of that barn to have it ready for Mr. D. when he' comes. The rest will be hauling sand for the cement and then tl1ere'll be a few more sticks to be cut in the woods." So it was. that the two.

GOOD LISTENER. IS POPULAR

"One of the most. popular girls I know is one who laughs easily and lets her men do all the talk- ing," says singer Morton Downey. who is willing to tell us more. Although this girl knows enough business secrets to fill a book and is sought out by sqores of men who discuss their problems with her, says Downey, she never has been seen to take the floor away from a man, no matter how much she knew about his subject.

All of’ this brings us up to the point of this piece: that it's bet- ter-in one man's opinion -to be a good listener than a chatterer. Mr. Downey would also rather not see woman playing the role of quiz master. I-Ie insists that there are other ways of showing inter- est in people besides asking ques- tions.

There's danger, he warns_ in those wifely queries: "What did you do today, dear?" and "Whom did you see?" because they seem like jealous questions to s mate. Best cue for the little woman. in Downey/‘s opinion, is to wait for her man to tellsher about his day

DAY DRESSES 10-14 INCHE]

FROM FLOOR

NEW YORK - There is little an gument. about skirt lengths whey; they accommodate themselves w the type of costume and are ap- propriate for the occasion. In day. time costumes (suits and dresses) skirt lengths range from 10 to 14 inches from the floor, depending on the fabrics used and the pfopor- tions of the figure.

While daytime skirts are longer and the eye has already adjusted itself in most cases to this change, the tree use of fabric and clever- ness of design gives few instances of bihdlng. In fact, many of t he ;suit skirts are flared.
