"I don't understand how you came to man-y her." a man remark- ed to a friend whose marriage had failed. "You admit that you didn't particularly care for her — then how did she get you?"

"Well," came the dry rejoinder. "It's not something you can explain very easily. but I suppose it must have been because she wanted me worse than I didn't want her!"

That was the only place he knew to write, and at last. he had to write her about the property. “I'm terribly sorry, Lydia - having been told

Girl Seeks Definition Of, ‘l Recipe For. Popularity

\f~/\P\Pl\ -

i DEAR MISS DIX: What is your definition of a popular girl? What makes a girl popular? Is it necessary for her to be lag/dutiful? . E.

ANSWER: A popular girl la one who is liked and admired by her own sex as well as the opposite one, She is the girl at whose coming every eye brightens and who makes every party complete. She is the first one thought of when any sort of pleasure in arranged and the boys flock around her like bees around a honey pot. She has always plenty of dates and lots of cut-ins at, dances.

BEAUTY NOT ESSENTIAL

Of course, it helps a girl to be popular b be _:. beautiful, because we all like to look at pretty and l “'6' attractive things, and there is nothing lovelier in na- ture than a beautiful woman, but beauty is not essential to popu- larity. Indeed, in a way, it is a hindrance to a girl's popularity with her own sex. because it rouscs envy in their bosoms. and so it has to be offset with a lot of sweetness and amlability. Nor does beauty make ll girl popular with men if her good looks cause her to be arro- gant and haughty. Many of the most popular girls are those who have not a single good feature to bless themselves with, but who are so kind and genial and pleasant to get B10118 Willi lllfll- BVEFYDOdY 10"?! them. I should say the things that make a girl popular are for her to be amiable and good-natured, to have the kindness dhat comes from a lender heart, for her to be willing to take the trouble to make other people happy, for her to have the gracious tact that keeps her from saying or doing the things that hurt and mortify others, for her to be wide awake and intelligent and able to,lalk enbertainlngly and for licr to bc'able to (lo the things that make licr always welcome in society-for licr to be able to play games and dance, to cook a little. play the piano a little and sing a little, to do the things that make her fit in any picture. Nobody can tell you, my dear, just what beauty is because there are no fixed standards, and what one person thinks ls beauty another doesn't. Some people admire only blondes. Others rave only over brunettes, In our own country the accepted type of feminine pulchri- tude is the living skeleton, while in Oriental countries the fatter e woman is the more of a living picture she ls esteemed. It has been said that beauty lies ln the eyes of the beholder, and that is true. We all see beauty in those we love, whether they are really beautiful or homely.

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband and I are 39 years old. We have been married sixlccn years and have two girls, one 14, one 10, and my husband's mother, who is an invalid, lives with us. We have nl- ways been happy, even though my husband has a mean quick temper, until now, when I have discovered that he is unfaithful to me. I own our home, which is a very nice one, and have encugh income of my own to pay the taxes and insurance, which I have always done, but would not be able to support the home alone. I have told my husband that us he was not happy with me I would give him his freedom, but he doesn't want a divorce. What would you do under the circumstances? I. T. K.

ANSWER: I think a case like yours is one in which no human being can judge-or has the right to iudge—for another, It is purely n matter of how you fccl toward your husband, and what you know of his character.

Sometimes a woman cares enough for a man to make it worth her while to shut her eyes to his infidelity. Sometimes a wife knows that her husband is a born philanderer, that it isn't ln hlm to be true to any woman for long. And every wife is wise to recognize the fact that men from 40 to 5O or 60 go through an age of lndiscrellon when they do foolish and irrational things and need to be treated with patience instead of divorce.

Of course, in your cane there are the young girls to be considered. They are almost grown and divorced parents and a broken-up home do not make the best background for them. Also. with the husband contributing to the family support you can live in a style you could not. afford if you had to earn the upkeep for the family.

Certainly the plight of a woman with an unfaithful husband la u pitiful one, but she does not always better it by fleeing to the divorce court.

DEAR MISS DIX: A young man just graduated from a medical school wonders ns to the relative advantages and disadvantages of im- mediately marrying.

DOCTOR

ANSWER: Unless the young doctor has money of his own or is marrying a girl with money it would certainly be foolhnrdy for hlm to get married, just as soon as he graduates from a medical school. It generally takes several years for a young doctor to make enough to live on. and he would certainly stand a fine chance of starving or having to give up his profession in order to support his family, if ha rushed into a precipitate marriage.

heated windows were our: to- day. and weather that was un- gqgunnlh/ chill. Stars lllnled coldly in the deep blue of the night sky when we were out. about by lantern-light with James this evening. And returning _us memories of Fall and earLv Win- ter nights of the long ago. when market wagons and carts rumbled home past the dusk along frozen roads. a greet truck with lights that spread widely ahead lumber- ed noisily up along and over the hill, and was presently ion to sight beyond Pat's maples. James would be npt to chuckle over it if we were to leave an impression that our work had detained us out of doors. once the darkness had fallen. since the present season has reduced the feminine chorifl 1e its minimum. Even the mill- ing is down to a pair, and by com- mon consent these fall to James’ lot to attend to, though there are those mornings when masculine burdens incline to press, and we pick up a pail to come lo the un- der-ground stable to help, by way of hastening the farmers off to some approaching endeavour.

We still amulet Jamel at his calf-feeding, though this too, ‘at present is down to the lowest point ofdhe year. We believe that. James requires this of us not so much for our help in bearing a drink to one calf, as to kccP muscles well limbered. l-Ie is one who puts much store in the pro- verb: “Better lo wear out. than to rust out!" Before a-ttemptiiiil l" reach the high door-sill. of the stable which houses a half dozen of these lesser lights of ours, we sometimes pause for breath we have lost. in following him across the yard. Until he reminds us to "Hurry now, Ellen" with an add- ed "now find your own!" with due modesty we may say we have successfully solved many a prob- lem. that was considered complex in our day, to realize now that any of these were as child's play com-pared with siniliflfl W! 1m"- smallish red and white animal from among a number of these. Problems at. last stay put and one . may return over and over with| ease to the starting point. But hungry calves mill about. They ' are no respecters of toes, and frc- I quently upset pails with annoying - results. In the face of this. and all for the glory of this farm of ours. a feminine blood pressure mounts to incompatible reaches, we are sure. until quesis ended. muzzles find corresponding ra- tions, and all is serene and an- other dsy's feeding secure. O O O

The “your own" which in the stress and strain of the moment James has let fall inadvertently is of course not to be taken literal- ly, no matter how high hopes may climb. But we find a nice satis- faction eveniually, similar to that we experience when one whom we have known has risen to a posi- tlon of importance or fame and we are able to say with some pride: "We used to know him when. . . " So we are pleased to have had our small share in it. when through the Summer, James looks over his glasses at us. af- ter scanning a tabulation of weights. to comment: "That ox beat them all, Ellen -— he weigh- ed like lead! You remember him surely. the one you used to feed as a calf, the other Winter!"

And what were we doing out about in tonight's frosty star- light? We were dispatching the turkey-bird destined to grace our board on the anniversary of Jamie's birthday. We caught him, the only one lc-ft in the high quart- ers in the orchard, then gave him ovcr to James, and turning closed
