.When a Man or Woman Talks About De- manding Ideal Mate Let Them do a Bit of Self-Analysis and Ascertain Just How ‘Ideal’ They Are Themselves

A man who says that he is lonely and desires to marry and settle down acks my assistance in helping him find the girl of his dreams for whom he has been searching in vain. He says that she must. be Z0061-

_ looking and have a pleasing personality: be Wlll.l'I\8 to wait on him hand and foot. as his mother and doting aunt have always done. she must also be understanding. affectionate and modest, but B.l£o I modern maiden who can smoke and drink like I gentleman and who will allow him an occasional night out, with no questions asked.

Furthermore. she must be a good housekeeper who can manage a home economically without cut- ting the corners too short and entertain graciously- She must not interfere with his work. in which he is passionately absorbed. nor get peevish over hs irregular hours and having to keep meals waiting. And preierabl the lady shall be an orphan with no rela_t§V‘els. so at the in-law problem may be &V0l e .

1 am afraid may, not even a Sherlock Holmes could find a girl who would rate 100 per cent on all of these specifications. and, if located. the question would be what would such a paragon of Peffectlon want. With the choosey young man? For it is observable that he does not mention any of his qualifications as the sort of husband who is the answer to a inaldenls prayer.

Ls he so easy on the eyes that his wife will enjoy looking at him for tliirty or iorty years ? Will he pamper and indulge her as her adoring father hfls, always done? Has he an agreeable personality or is he given .to grouchlng?

real.7.c that a. wile must have some diversion and take her stepping once or twice a week? Will he pav_l1er bills without sq-uawklnaz and he like a gentleman about her hats bemg becommg? Alrld will he also be an orphan, so she. too. may be saved from the in-law problem? It is an ironic thing that. while all men and women are seekl the perfect. mate, very few of them ever think of trying to be one tlhemse yes. They demand every imaginable charm and virtue in their husbands and wives. but the)’ do not even consider offering a fair exchange for these qualities Perhaps that is me reason so many men a d women are disappointed in mar- riage. They have overreached themselves in their bargaining and the ‘alter has got bitten.

: Of course, in reality no one ever gets his or her ideal husband or wife, because there isn't any such animal. and that is fortunate. For. while an imperfect mate is often hard to stand. a perfect one would be unendurable. The vanity by which we all live could not survive if a poor, weak, faltering human being were brought in daily contrast with a go:iliIl_l1% who never stumbled, who never made a mistake. who was always R.IG .

While a wife may grumble over her hus- band strewing things around the house and never being able to find a ;lean handkerchief. she wculdn't have him changed into a model of order and precision on a bet. For that would deprive her of her need to mother him.

Dan‘t Force Youth to Go to College

Dear Mls Dix—My trouble is dbcontent and restlessness, Mv mother and father are forcing me to go to college and I hate it. My heart lies in 8, home of my own. I dearly love housework and children. I am in love with a boy who is tied fast to an invalid father, a iealous mother and five younger brothers and sisters. He loves me. but encourages me to go with other boys because it is lrcriirwoselble for him to think of marriage, so there I am. And I am so tlr of classes and studies I feel like I can't stand it another day. But When I tell my father how I hate college he says I have GOT to finl=h. Isn't there some way that I might be more content and patient? And isnt there anything 1.]-mt can be done about the boy I love? R.U'I‘I-I ANNA.

Answer:

I think your father is making a mistake in forclnz YOU to go to co]- lege when you hate it so and are getting nothing from it. There is an old saying that you can lead a horse to water. but you can't, make it ilflrlnlg. gtrllid Ehfit applies equally Well to girls and boys who have no thirst

or a n .

They are not college material and they not only do not learn any- thin’ ‘at college, but they acaulre idle habits and waste money that their faml les can often ill afford here ls nothing morehpathetic than to think of the poor old fathers and mothers who are inc ng pennies and going shabby and doing without the medical care .t they med in order to send boys and girls of! to college who come back with nothing but a big head and a college yell.

Your father will be well advised to give you a business training in- stead of a scholastic education or to let v$ specialize in domestic scienre inasmuch as flour taste runs along the mastic lines. For vou to at

urseli to to ow some occupation by which you can earn a living will ealgeyou solve your problem about the young man also, 11 you can help in the living you can marry‘ . . I 0
