‘Dorothy Dix Says-

WHY ARE LITTLE DUMBBELLS THE FIRST TO GET MARRIED 7

Before Marriage Men PFéfei- Nitwits, But Afterward It’s Another Story

DEAR NIIBS DIX-Will you please explain why tho Iirll who were the biggest dumibibells in school are the first to Bet married. Also. why do the eat majority of men prefer tp go out with and min’! 8m! with in erlor intelligence and character rather than the su or girls? Of course men assert that they admire and respect the supe or 81718. but they don't date them or show any haste to marry them. Why?

lmswuar-a lei-fiat on a rook and the way of a mm with n ml-id have been set down

Holy Writ as two of the inscrutable in stories of life; so we have to let: it go at that an can only guess the answer.

Certainl no one can deny that men. taldng them by an large, seem to relish feminine brains only when they are scrambled. It is a matter of record that a college degree Ls u definite mut- rimonial handicap, and that for n. girl to have B re utation of being a highbrow scares the men oflP quicker than would a. scandal. Nobody, in recommending a girl to a DOY. would be T001181‘ enough to tell him how smart and Well edlwflifl- she was. He or she would praise the outside o1 her head and descent on her beautiful eyes and peaches and cream complexion and golden hair. and say nothing about what is inside it.

Undeniably, before marriage men prefer nit- wits, but after marriage it is a. different story. ' Then. after having picked out a silly little goose for a wife, the husband expects her to turn into an owl and to be enough to entertain him and manage heir affairs with intelligence. And its because men marry little sillies and expect them to act like I-Ietty Greens that we have so many whining husbands going around complain- ing that their wives do not. understand them and that they are mismated.

EASY TO UNDERSTAND IF-

If all the little sillies were beauties and all the intellectual girls were homely, it would be easy to understand why the Dumb Doriis win out, but such is not the case. Nature is a pretty just old dame, after all, and. she distributes her supply of soulful eyes and naturally curly hair and Grec- ian profiles with an even hand between the smart and the dull. so that the giotlhwittl-i brains is just as likely to look like a bathing beauty as the 0X19 W OLl .

Indeed, if there is any favoritism, the girl who has brains gel-s the advantage. for no clever woman ever can be as ugly as i! Htllllid 0X18- There is always something in her face that redeems it, no matter what kind of features she has,

Hence, the mystery of why men prefer little F'iossie Addlepate to Miss Minerva can't be explained on the grounds of looks. so we have to fall back upon the theory that little Fiossie’s appeal is to men's vanity and that they choose her instead of her superior sister because they like women they can look down upon better than women they have to look up to.

Little Flossies vocabulary may consist of only one phrase: “Oh. how big and. strong and wonderful you are." but it's enough. It gets her man, and that's why she can marry all around the iniwlligent girl who knows as much or more than the‘ boyfriend. . .

COIVHLAIN ABOUT BOSS! MOTHER

DEAR MISS DIX—Will you give your advice to two sisters. 28 and 23. and a brother, 26 years old, who are tired of their mothers tyranny. We never have been p.rmitt.ed to have friends, or to ask anyone to our home, although we support it. We paid for an automobile, but are never per- mitted to use it. She requires us to tell her who is talking to us over the telephone and what he or she says. We uinnot E0 in 0i’ 0W 01 m6 lliilll-W at night without her giving us a tongue lashing. We have no real home. No pleasures, no freedom, no anything, and we are dglpiiDwe. What shall we do? TI-TREE MISERABLE BEN

ANSWERF-People in their twenties are no longer children; they are adult, and entitled to live their lives in their own way. When they have the misfortune of having a tyrannical mother, they are just as weak cowardly to let her dominate them as they would be if they submitted to

slavery.

The remedy for your case is in your ow-n hands. Just tell her that you have stood he rdominoliton as long as you intend to. and that you are going to put. her in a boarding house where you will pay her board and see that she has every comfort, but that you will not let her ruin your lives any longer by bosslng you. ' _ . '

OLD IN YEARS, YOUNG IN IDEAS

DEAR MISS DIX-Underage children are required to get the consent of their parents before they are allowed to marry. Do you not. think that average parents should be required to get the permission of their children before they are permitted to marry again? Our father is '75 years old. very well off, and he wants to marry a woman much hi8 ill-BM‘. who ob- viously marrying him for his money. We children are devoted to our father, and we would welcome him in our homes and give him every can and attention, whereas he can expect nothing from his Number Two wife.

I-IEADAOHZ% AND I-IEARTAOHES.

ANSWER-There is nothing more itlful than an old man being shanghaied into marriage by a little god digger young enough to be his granddaughter, who has persuaded him that she loves him for himself
