Unlikes Attract-mud Live to_ Regret it it They Marry, Says Dorothy Dix-Would- Be Suicide Needs to Look Facts in Face. What Girls Think of Married Flirts

Dear Miss Dix-In the world of physical nature unlikes attract and likes repel. Does this phenomenon of physical nature occur in human nature? Do people of like or unlike personality, temperament and char- acter attract each other? Do people of like 0r unlike character, once they are attracted, hold to- gether longest and best? What about people of different characters with similar tastes or avoca-

tions? What about different nationalities? W, A. W. Answer:

Nature, which is concerned only with the good of the race and not with individual happi- ness, often ordains that the law of the attraction of opposites shall work in human nature as well ls in physical nature. Thus we see big men marrying little half-portion women; blondes crazy about brunettes and vice versa; quiet, staid little maidens falling in love with dashing rounders; college professors choosing Dumb Doras for life companions, and closc-ilstcd, penny-pinching men espousing wastcrs and spenders.

Otherwise we should develop a race of giants or pigmies, of morons or highbrows, of go-getters or loafers, but-and this ls one of Mother Nature's cruel little jokes on humanity-the attractions of opposites that drew a couple together before marriage nearly always rends them asunder alttr marriage, and the men and women who picked out their mates be- cause they were something different find when they get them home and look at them at close range, that they don't like them simply because they ARE different.

'I'hl.s is the basis o! the complaint that you hear oftenest from mar- ried people, that their husbands and wives do not understand them, or sympathize with them, and that they have nothing in common. This is true, but it‘ is not. the fault of the party of the other part. 1t is simply lhe result of having married their opposites.

The tender, loving, warm-hearted girl starves for the demonstrations Di affection that her cold, reserved lill-sbflnd Cannm? 8W9 1191' 599M159 11¢ but bull-f that way". He is frigidaire instead of a furnace. ’l;‘lie lute!- lt-iiuzll man is bored to tears by the stupid little wife who never even reads a sixth-best. best, seller. The gay, pleasure-loving man soon wearies of the lectures of his prim, puritanical wife and leaves her at home when he steps out of an evening.

And so it goes all down the line. Happiness in marriage depends n-uire upon congoiiinlil-y; than upon any other one thing, and congcniality Every family’ quarrel is the expression of con- flicting opinions. All domestic harmony is the result of two people think- lng alike, looking at things from the same point of view, having the same tastes and habits.

Two people can have a beautiful time together staying at home of evenings or going .10 night clubs; playing golf or pushing a pcrambulator; going to symphony concerts or to hear a jazz band, if they both enjoy It is when one wants to be a fireside fixture and the other yearns to dance; when one longs to go places and see things and the other desires no livelier amusement than watching the baby sleep that trouble begins. '

So if you want to be happy though married, pick out your double for q lllfllC. It is the one best bet.

And the same thing holds good of friends. We are often attracted to 3 prilliant and entertaining stranger whose whole range of experience l1. entirely, different fmm ours and whose beliefs and theories and opin- ions are diametrically opposed to ours, but such friendships rarely last niui have no peace iii lhein while they do.

Argumcntation is the death of friendship and we soon grow weary of the society of those to whom we cannot even say it is a. pleasant day Kvllhout starting something. Nor do we enjoy the company of those who ncvcr soc cye to eye with us about politics or religion or books or yilajys. m.» frlmlds we grapple 1o us with hoops of steel are those who laugh a! the same jokes and like the same style of cooking and hold t0 the same uieorles that we do. _

All national loyalties and prejudices are the result of like calling to

like. _ We fee! that our own people are always right because their way ,

ls our \\‘:\_\', and we distrust foreigners because their ways are different. Fcw international marriages are happy because after the glamour of strangeness has worn oil.’ a. man wants a wife who is a replica of the women of his own people, and the woman wants a husband who treats her according to the code for husbands to which she is accustomed.

If I were removed from the scene, I am sure that my wife would ultp. a man in such work as I have undertaken and which is getting me.

What do you think?

1 “link that .\'0urs is about the craziest letter that has ever come to this department and my earnest advice to you is to consult some good 311911159 Pfisibly there are conditions under which suicide may be justi- fied. but Certainly no man in your position has the faintest excuse for tak- ing his own life. And you are a. coward and a quilter even to think of such a thing.

As you put the ease, you are contemplating killing yourself merely

because you don't like the kind of work you are doing, and because you . think it; will upset the family for you to make a change to something that W111 pay less well. That is a fine and dandy alibi, isn't it, for a man to offer for committing self-murder? - ‘ Do you think that it will upset the family less to have a suicide in 1t ma" it “ill i0 have you elve 11D your 10b? 1t is rather a shocking thine to have father blow out his brains in the library or turn on the gas 1n the kitchen. Nor does it add to the prestige of children to have a suicide father in the background. People always suspect insanity.

And as for thinking that your wife can marry into the profession you seem to think she has set her heart on, that's highly problematical unless you are carrying a good life insurance. Not many men, are seeking widows with readymade famries. t

I'm betting dollars to doughnuts, Mr. X., that what's the matter Wm, you is that you-are afraid of your wife, and that is why you would rather kill yioursclf than tell licr that you are going to leave a distnstgfm 0c. cupaiion and do the kind of work you like to do. Brace up and be a man ' Give up the work that is driving you crazy and try something else p“; don't make the change via the suicide route. 1f you do you may find you have jumped out of the frying pan into the firc.

Dear kiiss Dix~Wlmt do girls think of the married man who filftfi

with them? Would they marry such a man knowing what he is? Do

they lliiy his wife? DISILLUSIONED.

Answer: _ ~ Depends on the girl. Sometimes she thinks the married man who

flirts with her is easy money and good for good times. Sometimes she “films he is i1 cmli-Bmbiible boas: who makes her putting up with his lovc- making the price of holding her job‘.

Many a girl marries such a man because her vanity makes her be- lleve that she can hold him even if his wife couldn't. Many other girls have seen so much of flirtatious husbands that they have lost all faith in

MADAME MARIGOLD

Grenoble was a man of quick de- cisions, and once he had made up his mind he lost no time in put- ting his pfans inio operation. It was an hour later when Rosemary and Nell Forrest left his office, but during that time contracts had been drawn up and signed, and Rosemary had in her bag more money than she had over in her life possessed before.

They went out through a. new crowded waiting room, and when they had safely passed the offciid- ed Tonklns, Rosemary turned to hcr friend with the solemn eyes of a child.

"I don't believe it, Nell, I sim- ply don't believe it! We're to go for a whole month to the Rl\i£‘l'1\, stopping only long enough in Paris to have our measurements taken. Then we stop in Paris on the way back to collect the clothes that will have been made to Grenobcs dc- sign lh the meantime. When we got back to London, Rosemary Mar- tin will have disappeared, and l\l:iri- gold, Madame Marigold, will lmvr arrircd. It's a fairy tuic come t1 life!"

Mrs. Forrest answered licr more practically.

"And so he should, Nellie!" cried Rosemary, warmly. “After all, you're making a. sacriiicc to do it. You're giving up your own work."

"Oh, 1m glad enough to lcavc the stage. I'm getting old, and shops were harder and harder to find. I shall enjoy giving Layton notice to- night.

A little shiver of premonition ran down Rosemary's spine but she shook it off.

And we're going to toast our futures in champagne! Then afterwards you are going to let Layton know that your understudy must take over your part from to-night on. Don't pack anything, for we're going to buy everything new, including a most beautiful outfit for your niece to be (lellvered at the Gaiety to- night. It's marvellous to be rolling in wealth!"

The garments she was to wear in her new home, however, were an unalloyed delight to her. There were evening gowns that sparkled like stars or in misty tones of mauves, blue or rose make her look like "Une Princesse lolntaine,” as the ecstatic mediate said. There were evening cloaks, too, in sable, ermine and velvet, with great upstanding collars o! fox and mink.
