A iiorothy iilx Says — (Continued from Page 2)

the truth. the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; but few of us have skins thick enough to smnd it. None of us want to be told of our faults and blemishes and reminded of our mistakes and, in reality, about the only time we are absolutely veracious is when we are so rip- rearing mad we don't carswhst we say.

The truth of the matter is that truth is strong medicine, to be handled with discretion. Sometimes a little pink lie leans to virtue's side. A little tact, a little praise. a little blindness-is there not more virtue in these than dragging out our skeletons and rattling their bones?

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My brother, who is 26, is desperately in love with s sweet college girl who is equally in love with him, but the girl refuses to marry him because she is afraid of marriage. The girl's mother was a very poor wife, made her husband desperately unhappy snd ho finally divorced her. and that makes the girl fear that if she married my brother she would ruin his life. She loves him so much that she would rather sacrifice her own happiness than run the risk of wrecking his life.

Do you think she is right?

' SISTER

ANSWER: No. she is absolutely wrong. She has broodedover her father's unhappy marriage until she has gotten morbid and lost her per- spective. Because-s girl's mother was a poor wife is no proof that she will be one. On the contrary, the chances are that she will make

sii the greater effort to he's good one. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: We are "two very troubled school girls,

sgss l5 and 16 and we are very much in love with two boys who are l‘! sad l9. We are thinking of getting married because we are tired of loing to school. What do you advise us to do?

SCHOOL GIRLS 1

ANSWER: I advise you not to try the experiment of jumping out of the frying pan into the. fire, because if you do you will surely sot badly burned. You are tired of going to school. Believe me. my children, you will get a lot more tired of matrimony if you undertake it st your tender age. School lasts only a few hours. but marriage is forever. unless you go through the horror of divorce. Your school hours are short hours, but marriage is a 24-hour-iob, with no holidays and off days for a wife and mother. "' -

Don't make the mistake of thinking that matrimony is a soft snap, and don't be foolish enough to ruin your life in its beginning by marry- in: another silly kid.
