Is Strong Physical Attraction Enough to Marry on? - Worth Chancing Marriage When There is Love Plus Two Good Jobs —- Attentions Without Intentions

phjisicatl attraction, no matter how great it is? My fiance and I 10W!

each other and it would be hard to break up, but mentally we haven't a

thing in common and never agree on anything. MARGARET.

Answer: Sex attiactlon draws a man and woman to

them. Probably three-fourths of the unhappy marriages are the result of people mistaking phy- sical lure for love.

Many people contend that physical attraction is the most important thing in marriage, but in this I think they are mistaken.

Passion dies of satiety and when that is gone nothing is left if the husband and wlic have not the bond of congeniallty Physical attraction 1s the most unstable of all things because it 1s dependent upon youth, upon health, upon good looks, upon personal daintincss and fastidious- ness, upon a thousand little things that can vanish into thin air at a moinrnts notice. '

lt cit-pends also upon novelty and it is always seeking fresh sensations so that you are never sure of holding it for any individual, and when it i..- gone it is gone forever. ‘Nothing you can do will revive it. When you have lost your taste for some one, you have simply lost it, and that's nil there is to it, and there is nothing you can do about it. You don't know why it is yourself that the man or woman who lured you one day rcpulscs you the next; why the person at whose touch you thrilled leaves you cold; why you would give your lifc for kisses one time and to have to kiss the same lips another time would be a chore.

So physical attraction is a poor thing to marry for because, for one thing, you cannot be sure of its lasting and because, for another thing, ii. makes up but a small part oi nfe, and because the only love that endures bctwccn a. man and a woman must be based on congeniality;

‘l he only people that we enjoy as companions are those who think as we think; who like the things that we like; who have pleasure in doing the same thing that we do, who like to read the same books, play the same games, go to the same places that we do. The friends of whose society we never get enough are those with whom we can hold amicable

discussions, not those with whom we invariably get into a quarrel because _

our ideas are diametrically opposite on every point.

You can start out under ideal auspices for an outing. Perfect wea- ther, a good car, fine roads, lovely scenery, but your day will be ruined if some one is along who didn't want to go or who wants to go a different road or who hates autoinobiling or who is a. perpetual fault-finder and grout-h. And that is the way it is with marriage.

Many a young couple start out with every prospect in the world for happiness. 'l‘hey are both fine characters, they are high-principled, they have money, o. lovely home, everything that should make their marriage a. success, but it is a failure because they are not congenial. The man wants to go one ivay, the woman another. One is a spender and one a SRIVCP. One lil-zcs to read and the other doesn't. One is agolf fiend and the other hates games. One wants to step out and the other to stay at home. And so they quarrel and fight over everything and their home becomes a place of discord.

'l'\vo people can have a beautiful time together if they can agree, but they will liorc each other to death if they have nothing in common.

DOROTHY DIX. I I O I

Dear Miss Dix—My fiancee and I are submitting to you our problem and ask you to help us. Mine is: l’. have been engaged to Jane for more than u. year, but it will be some time before we have enough saved to buy furniture, etc. Even when we have attained our goal 1 don't make enough to support us both and she is used to having things that I could not give her. 1 hate to take her as my wife and for her to go on work- ing. And there is ti; risk of one of us losing our job when we need it most_._ Mltflis agony to think of waiting for an indefinite number of years, but I am afraid to chance it. JERRY.

l ain Jane ,a.nd hero is my side: I love Jerry and while he alone couldn't support a home, together we can.. I am efficient and capable, and why shouldn't I work as well as he? Can't two people who loveand understand each other as we do make a go of it and be much happier than we would be waiting until we could do it right? Surely he should know that he moans more to me than tliclittle luxuries I shall have to give up when we start out. What do you think best? JANE.

Answer: b '

Between you, you can make a comfortable living. You both have jobs and I don't sce ivhy you shouldn't take a sporting chance at happiness and get married at once.

It is taking a foolhardy risk for young people to marrywlth no way of

..1l'l8l>§lX'i§ a living, but you don't have to have luxuries in order to be happy. You don't have to have a fine house and period furniture. A couple of rooms with a few chairs and tables bought on the installment plan can iiiiike a real home ii love and happiness abide therein.

1t is a tragedy when young people have to put oft marrying too long and when they drag an engagement out through so many years that it just sort of wears itself out and loses all of its thrill. The romance fades. the wonder and the glory of young loves pales and grows cold, wom out with the kind of waiting and hope deferred that makes the heart slck..

Bo I think the young are wise to take their courage in both hands

_ and storm the gates of Paradise. , It is something to have known Eden, even for a little while.

Of course every man who loves a woman dreams of making life soft and beautiful for her. He would like to give her the world on a silver snlver. And it hurts his pride not lo be able to support her, but I bc-

‘ lleve he takes the wrong point of view on all of these subjects. -

In the first place, it is no kindness t.o take all work away from a. woman. She is far happier in having something to do than she is in idleness. The bright, alert, interesting women zvho are on their tiptccs are all busy women who arc rushed cvcry minute ol’ the day, not the loafers who spend their time lying on couches eating chocolates and read- ing novcls. Sc the first recipe that 1 should give any ‘man for making his wife happy ls: Keep her busy. Work her hard. Make her pull her weight in the built.

Then I think it is false pride that makes a man object to his wife working outside of the home when the money is needed. He wouldn't object to her cooking and scrubbing and sewing to help him along. Most men expect that of their wives. Then why make an issue of it when she can best rclp by working for him less hard in an office?

That is the modern point of view and it. is a sensible one. For in the future it is going to be Just as commonplace for a girl to keep on with her job after marriage as it is for a man.

Your Hands __

PROTECT THEM FRDM T!!! BTINGIN GWINDS 0F MARSH The end of winter weather is hard on your hands. This year it ls g time when you should take even more cars than usual. For with shorter sleeves, with the new cos- tume rings and bracelets and the perky, quaint-locking hats to help you create the portrait of a. lady, your hands show up most dramati- cally. Do you use a hand cream? Well, you should. They not only help keep your hands bleached nicely, but they soften the skin and refine its appearance and protect it from March winds. The size and shape of your hands really doesn't matter. Big hands can be tremendously handsome and appealing. It is the care you give them that counts. I Massage for your hands should take place just as regularly ‘as fa- cial message. Bcglii at the finger tips, stroke down each flnler, then gently in rotating “ , massage the backup! your hands and the palms, way up onto the wrists. For this massage, you should use a rich cream. Leave it on over night. If your hands are rough, cream them. liberally and. wear gloves at night, loose ones are best. This will soften up the most ob- stinate case oi chapped hands; or hands roughened by housework. Brittle nails are a foe to beauty. if you are bothered with breaking nails it. is an excellent idea either to use an oil r any kind of grease, every single day. This really does wonders toward correcting this handicap.
