A,‘ ~ l I? ' Life first and Think About it After- ' " ' ward — Only One Love

ear Miss Dix-I am a girl of 18, married to a boy of 21. We have arricd two months, but so far have never lived together, I live at . with my parents and he with his. He hasn't worked for some time, - . ' but I have been working right along. We don't get along at all together, always fighting. Do you think it is because we are ifot living together? I have a nice home and hate to give it up, but would it be rljrlit for inc to do so and get a little home that I would hare to support? Would I be starting, our life

out wrong by paving all the bills? DOT.

Answer:

l think you would, Dot. I think no woman ever makes a greater mistake than when she assumes the whole support of the family, unless it is in a case of

h) necessity when her husband is sick and unable to \'.".ll"i.(\-_Q_‘h£*ilf.‘il she should be proud and glad to take care of him, as he has I Lzlzfii car." cf lior in their days of prosperity. ' t

_,. _______ So don't make the mistake, Dot, of joining the brigade of husband- supportinc wirrs. It will get you nowhere except into a life of slavery, for

ions-your- husband finds out that you can make the living he will just sit l . d let you do it. And don't think that he will love you and be grate- ful l2); you for fining it. He won't. He will hate you for it because your working l7llEilllt‘\S lii< manhood.

gt‘ knows that all worthwhile people despise the able-bodied men who livcstm a WOllillll. and that makes him ashamed of himself. but not ashamed enough to go to work, only ashamed enough to take out his chagrin on you. .A_-; Iltspid, I have known hundreds of women who supported their husbands and F,’ have never" yet known one whose husband treated her decently. Always the parasite husband is-a snarling dog that bites the hand that feeds it. "

Iiitstead of setting up the home and supporting it yourself, Dot, why not iii" kc ymirsclf the prize that your husband will win by making a home for yq ? Tell him that you are willing to live plainlv and humbly with him in m i sort of a home. even if it only one room, but that before you go to him hi; must show that he is man enough to make a home for o. wife. And, beiievfl me, if you dont get along with him now you will quarrel all the more blttcrw when lie is placed in the false position of being dependent upon you. '3' _ DOROTHY 01x.

nélihiii... Dix-I believe that necking and kissing and petting is all right for girls to do because a girl must make herself entertaining to boys either by being (lccidediyi different, or by acqulesclng to the desires of her late-t crusliie. So I say let each person live and then think life out for himself. G-

Aiisiver; You have the cart before the horse in your philosophy, my dear, be- ciiuac the time to Qink things out is before you do them, not afterward.

Then it is too lute. '

Pondering over the mistakes we have made after we have made them is as useless as crying over spilled milk. What we have done is past our rcrull, and if we have taken the wrong turn of the road there is no way to retrace our footsteps and get back where we were before. And it is cold crunfurt to reflect. then on what might have been. Nor does any philosophy reconcile us to what. we have lost. '

So let me implore you to do your thinking now while there is yet. time to chose the better course instead of waiting to do it until you are a gray- liuirml old imman with youth and beauty gone. with your power to charm men yanislivrl. with your lace ravaged by a wild and passionate life. If you will look a.’ the bitter. hard faces of such burned-out old women, you will not cniry them their memories, nor feel that they xnd much comfort in their plifilcsopliy of llf"

The tlaizr; that always strikes mc as so queer about girls who look at b}, 1mm your fdflllflpfiillt is how cheaply they hold themselves, how poorly they think of themselves. Theirs is the worst form of the inferiority com-

And the next thing that aswnlshes me about girls with your point of view is that you sell out so cheaply. You put less value on yourself than a woman of the street puts on herself. For the sake of a date, for the price_ of a. theatre ticket. or even being taken to thé movies you give your lips to‘ every Tom, Dick and Harry and let him paw you over. What price modesty? What price innocence and maldenly reserve

The cheapest of cheap bargains. No wonder boys do not value what

costs them so little.

But at any rate take my advice about this. Think over life before you live it. Afterward it is too late. DOROTHY DIX.
