"Yes," interrupted a. quick-brain- ed student. "Then 288 will build it in one hour, 7,280 in one minute and 1,036,800 in one second. And I don't believe they could lay one brick in that time!"

While the professor was still gasp- ing, the smart "ready reckoncr" went on:-

"Again, if one ship can cross the Atlantic in six days, six ships can cross it in one day. I don't believe that, either; so where's the truth in arithmetic?"

A-the Week,

Sage Advice to Man iWhose Fiance Won’t Let Him Break Engagement -- ls a M811 Really in Love if He Still EIIJOYS Eat- ing? -- Can a Bad Temper Be l Cured?

Dczlr Miss Dix-I have got engaged to a elrl- I dill“ 1m" ll" °l' why because I don't love her and don't want to marry h" llld 1 lull" that she would not make me a colnpsnfonsble wife st all. Besides. I don't wan to marry and I'm not in a position to many if I did want to. I have told the girl this and she threatens to take some very drastic steps if I break the engagement. Can you suggest any- thing to do? M. H. D.

Answer:

A girl who is that determined t0 marry is eer- taillly u formidable proposition and she will get you ii you don't. watch out.

However, l think the woman who threatens to sue a mun for breach of promise if he doesn't

marry her isn't half as dangerous as the one who weeps over the lover who has lost his taste for her nnd tells him how it will break her heart if he leaves her. For the woman who holds the club of the law over g man's head rouses his fighting blood, whereas the one who turns on the weep simply melts down his back-bone and softens his sales resistance into a mush of pity, because no man can resist sympiithizlng with the lady who is about to lose him.

There are few things in the world more powerful than hydraulic prel- sure and when this is brought to bear on a. man's resolution not to marry it nearly always gives way. Thousands of women have got their man in this way. Thousands of men, who in the sober light of the morning after permitting some crafty woman to invelglethem into proposing, have realized that they were not in love with these women and didn't want to marry them and have gone to the said women and told them so, have fallen victims to the water treatment.

Little Sally or Sadie or Sue began to sob out that thei. lives were ruined and they couldn't s-s-stand it and they would never l-i-love again and before they knew it the poor men were sunk and they married them and lived miserably ever after.

So, son, be thankful that your fiancee is merely going site. you with a law suit or a shotgun and not tear duct; But, anyway, stand firm. Don't let her bulldozs you into marrying her if you don't want to, he- ccuse marrying is no picnic even st its best 1nd it is a. hell on earth at its worst.

And certainly its worst phase is when ‘a. man is shunghaied intolt against his will by n woman who evidently regards him as merely a. meal ticket. Because no woman of any delicacy of ‘ “ ,, would be willing. to marry a man‘ against his will or drag an unwilling bridegroom to the altar.

I should say in your case the best. thing for you to do would be to play a. waiting game and simply wear her out. You do not heed formally to break the engagement, but you can make it so uninteresting to her and so hopeless of any results that you can make her break it. As long as you are not married to her slle has no jurisdiction over you, so you can run around with other girls as much es you please. Nor has she any power by which she can compel you to make dates with her, so if you just quit cold and never go to see her any more, what cur [she do about it?

Always you have the perfectly valid excuse that you are not finan- cially able to marry and are in ncposition to support a family. The de- pression ought to be good for something. Perhaps it will be your sal- vation. DOROTHY DIX. O O O O Dcnr Miss DlxLIs the kind of love when one can't est, sleep and so forth absolutely necessary to make marriage o. success? In most mar- riages don't you think that love is stronger on one side than the other? Can a. marriage be a. success if the girl's love is stronger than that. of the young man's? He loves her very much, but cannot say he loves her des- perately. Wou‘cl it be taking a chance for her to marry him? A READER.

Answer: _

If no one got married except those whose appetites and ability to sleep were affected by the tender passion, there would be a. terrific slump in the matrimonial market.

It is only in novels that people in love cease to take arhlnterest in food and sit up all night star-gazing. thinking upon the beloved one and go hot and cold and have palpitations of the heart as the sound of a footstep. Ilrrcal life men. and women get just as hungry when they are in love as they do out cf it and are just as much interested in going to places of amusement and in their business and getting pretty clothes and the ordinary affairs of life as they were before they discovered the Great and Only and become engaged. ~

But it is a pity that the poets and fictlonists have set up these im- possible and neurotic stlmdnrcls for young people to check their lovc by, because it makes hlfllly level-headed and common-sense young people doubt the state of their affections. They know that nothing has happen- cd to their appetites or their ability to put in eight hours of sound sleep

, at night if they get the chance and that they are not just one prolonged

thrill in thc others presence. They are perfectly aware that they would not die of a broken heart if they lost the other and so they doubt the good holiest love that; would take itself out in trying to be a good husband or wife.

Of course, in every love affair one cares more than the other, because one is capable of n. deeper affection than the other. We have not all the same emotional capacity and we are no more to be blamed for that than we are not all being the same stature or having the some amount of intelligence. There is nothing truer than the old French saying that in love one kisses and permits oneself to be kissed.
