Thcy think how blissful it would be to be able to have affairs with women and play around with girls half their age without livinfi in 5TB“ of their wives finding out about it and raising ructions. They think how much fun they could ‘have hell-raising around at nights and not coming home until morning with no penalty to pay in the way of a. Jealous Wife who would go around looking like an early martyr, no curtain lecturefiv nothing but freedom. But when they get their divorces they find that aft/er the first Wild rapture of freedom has subsided that the calendar hasn't been turned back ‘ and that they are not 21, but 31 or 41 or 5i, and that they can't go the pace with the boys and the fiappcrs. They don't carousc all night and work all day as they once did, and they have to my for their fun with too many headaches. They find that they have lost heir taste for hell- ralsing as a steady thing andihat the girls they thought 80 illlm°f°u51 don't look so good when you've only them to look at. And they begin to think regretfully of the homes they have wrecked, of the peace and quiet of their own firesides where they weren't expected aways to be putting On a show; where they could slump in their chairs and rest. They think 0f the good home cooking and of the women who loved them and were faith- ful to then-i and who helped them save their money instead o! gold-diz- ging for it. And there are mighty few of them who don‘t wish that they hadn't broken their marriage bonds. DORDTTTY DIX- U ' U U U I Dear Miss Dlx—Will you please give us you: opinion of the long versus the short engagement. Should a girl accept a diamond i! the enzflflemlmt ls to extend ovcr u period of several years or longer, or should she Wult for the ring until she knows that she is to be married within a certain Deriod of time? THE GIR-Lsi Answer: I think a. long engagement is a mistake; that it is very trying 0n the in an tinnaturnl position. They are neither bond nor free. They have not the authority over each other that a husband and wife have, yet they feelthey have a right to control each other‘: actions. mirthermore, they are taking a. long shot on the future and binding themselves to do some- thing they may not. want to do when the time oomes. Along engagement is particularly hard on the girl because it drives away all other suitors and deprives her of the chance to marry any other man, yet she has no certainty that he man to whom she is engaged will GORDON FIFE, Soldier of Fortune City Shh no, ruenzs 01111.1 ROOM FOR ONE“...
