GEORGE H. Answer: ‘rttaiiu . ._ Diamonds are certainly s luxmy and not a necessity and their pos- smlon neither makes nor mars a real woman's happiness. aluliiiiie . Most women like jewelry, and if their husbands or sweethearts can ’; give it to them they enjoy it just as they would a. good car or a ilne dress 3 or a. lovely home. But it is not necessary to their happiness, and mil- §lions oi women go through iiie without even a diamond chip, contented t: and cheerful and with no sense oi being deprived oi one oi the good f.‘ things of life. Perhaps the gold-diggers, who only care for men ior what they can et out oi them, ieel that they are cheated when they are not given plat- ‘rginum-and-diamond wrist-watches and solitaires, but the worth-while zlwoman, who loves aman for himself, ieels that she is defrauded only f; when her husband iails to give her ailection and tenderness and con- 5: Jideratlon. - §l§n it mull a . . so dontthink that yom- sweetheart feels that you hold her cheaply f- or that she is put in an inierior position to other women because you l? cannot give her diamonds. 11 she cares ior you she would not want you mite go into debt to give her jewels that you could not aflord, and she is mfwllllng to wait ior her gems until you can pay ior them without sacri- EQ iicing yourself.

That alwayl llr-depeuds upon the individual case. but generally speaking, I think your ‘fgidea of a year as the proper length of a courtship is ideal. That gives s. young couple time in which to get acquainted with each others pecul- iarities and to find out how really companionabia they are and yet it is not so long that it rubs the bloom oii their romance. - oi Butifsyoungmsnisalwsysonhisgoodbohaviorhowisthegirl really to 11nd out his true disposition?

O O O O O O Dear Miss Dix-The average man hasn't enough courage. ‘ll-rat's what ails him. Listen. Last week I was walking along s. certain street when a. small car passed me, the occupant oi which looked at me twice, then drove out of sight. 1 walked on. In a. iew minutes some one accosted me in a kind voice. It was this same man. He had tol- lowed me without my knowing it, but all he said was: “Are you going to work?" I was so surmised I just nodded my head and walked slowly on, thinking he would overtake me. However, he didn't. If he had ' ' only said: "Come on" and opened the car door, I would have Jumped in, but he lost out and 1 lost out because I was timid and he didn't have enough nerve.
