First ‘Marriage ‘At 50. Lifelong Bachelor Urged To, Remain Single, As Habits Are Set DEAR MISS DIX: I am a bachelor in my late forties and feel‘ that lhe time has come when I should marry and have a family. What a e woman would be the most suitable for a wife? 1.14. n. ANSWER: ~I agree with you that if you are ever going to marry. year or two. you had better make it snappy and do so within the next A widower, who has been housebroken, so to speak, and who has learned from experience how to adapt himself to the whims and peculiarities of a woman, may safely marry up to three score years and ten, but not so the bachelol. Never having had anyone but himself to consider, he is almost sure to grow selfish. Never having to subordinate his own taste and inclinations to another, he develops "ways" and habits that make him miserable to have broken tup. I-ie becomes faddy about his eating and finicky about his belong- idngs. and a wife gets on his nerves and worries him to death. f A man who has remained a. bachelor until he is almost 50 years old generally does well to make the remainder of the journey in singlr hlessedness because, n‘o matter what good qualities a woman has, they 'do not compensate him for the breaking up of his routine of life, BAD PLAN . It is a had plan to marry just because you think the time has arriv- ed when you should. Don't get married unless you are enough in love with some woman to feel that life will be dust and ashes without her. ‘,As_for the age of the woman, anywhere from 30 up is suitable. DEAR MISS DIX: I have been married for two years and my hus- band and I are always arguing over the question of saving money to buy 0a home. save up our money and buy a home. I think we should have good times and he thinks we should Which one of us is right’! A HUSBAND AND WIFE. . ANSWER: I think your husband is right. If you don't begin sav- ilng when you are first married. you will never save. and you will go (through life one of those shiftiess couples who spend as they go, who live up to every cent of their earnings. Little as you think it, the first years of your marriage will deter- lmine what your future will be. If you start systematic saving and put your money away regularly, by the time you are middle-aged you will be independent. So begin today tucking away s. certain Saving is just as much a habit as spending, and when once for a home. you have acquired it, you will find . percentage of your income that it. is just as thrilling and ex- citing to make a deposit in a hank as it is to pay on account for some foolishness you have bought. And in the one case you have something {to show for your money, and in the other case you have nothing. DEAR DOROTHY DIX! I have been engaged to a man for two years. I-le has always come to see me two or three nights a week and always on Sunday nights.. Lately he has been going off to the country Ind says that it bores him to have to keep regular dates. Don't you think I have a right to expect that he keep his dates with me? ANSWER: WONDERING You have the right, but to what end? Evidently he Zhas wearied of the engagement and wants to break it off. Better beat him to it and refuse to let him come to-see you at all. That might ktimulate his interest in you and make him regard his dates with you II a privilege, instead of obligations that he tries to shirk. Modern A Etiquette lylobertelae 0%C Q.

NEVER-ENDING JOB Every hour day and night in Canada fifty cars are loaded with Ellen ’s - Diary I! ea Hand hrmafa Wise We have been listening in tore delayed broadcast of part of one of therecent meetings held in the city in connection with Island Far- mers’ Week-a period when from Island-over farmers who can, for- kather in conferei-ice over the in- terests of our various husbandries. Some farmers there are whose in- clinations follow a specialized line. while more generally, as at Alder- les. though I may say in an only ordinary endeavour, we dabble with a mixed program. We listened closely to this interesting and gift- ed speaker, from the National Fed- eration of Agriculture, James in his old armchair allowing his reading to slip neglected to the floor and I in the rocking-chair near by toying with a piece of knitting. Present- 1y. Jock. who had been out at the barns, at some late feeding, or per- haps only looklng in on the stock to "fatten" them with his "eye" came in to set down his lantern and join us. The speaker dealt with many of the current farm-problems, and his talk contained much in the way of statistics and all, that was most informative. O O There was the matter of the high cost of living, which can not be blamed upon the-farmeF-poor fel- low! no matter how much he may be suspected, for it is a matter of common concern both to rural and urban dwellers. Prices of food- stuffs are high, in most cases we agree among ourselves on the farm, too high. But on the farm, the source of many of the necessary staples of the consumer of cream and milk, of meats and vegetables. which find their way into the mar- ket stream. the cost of production has increased to high proportions. Seeds, fertilizers, machinery, feeds, twine, insecticides, pails, baskets- longer and longer the list of cost- ly incidentals can continue, without any mention of the farmer's time, of his help, or of the foods he must buy, for long gone is the time when a farm was self-sustaining for the family-though we do find ourselves in the midst of an abundance of many of the basic foods. I I O When we stop to consider things, it is only natural that the farmer should and does expect a fair re- turn for his work and his capital expended—one which will grant him operating costs and a living for himself and family. Such a living as will allow him to educate his family, and to assist sons o in- clined to purchase properties of their own, should they wish to re- turn or remain on the land. This a farmer would ask. and besides through dint of his own industry a bit of money saved as‘ security for his westering years. For farmers are human, in spite of being at times bound long hours to their duties . . . human. and interest- ing, and well-informed. They are likeable chaps, Ynostly modest and kind . . . and proud . . . persons of vision and dreams. Q O I But the urbanita has no quarrel with the farmer over the high costs of food. He naturally only wants the latter's wares as cheaply and as pulpwood, pulp and paper. good as possible, a fair desire.

Pat-"Ii/s a swell trick. You should hear the witnesses contra- dlct. each other." The two men hadn't met for years. ‘ "And is your wife still as pretty as she used to be?" asked the first. "Oh, yes," replied the. second. "but it takes her much longer." under the present sylsem of mar- keting between the two——the pri- mary producer and the consumer. there is a wide gulf, which begs to be bridged to bring a better eco- nomlcal state to the two. As it stands it is bridged by a structure of selling and buying which re- quires a toll at both ends, and which must presently Rive way to more satisfactory methods. This. then—looking out from an old farmhouse on a wintry night-ls n current and pressing problem: Is- land farmers need a better, a fair- er way of marketing their pro- ducts, and as well, considering the vast flow of purchases which must flow back to the farms in present- day agriculture. the spread be- tween factory and farm should be lessened, so that here too we may buy as cheaply as possible, and as good. O I These things will be remedied in time, doubtless by the farmers themselves, when they unite in an organization, united and staunch to the last member, with common aims and for the ultimate good of all. Yes, I thought, listening in to the broadcast, we have our problems on farms but. and it is strange the things that crowd to mind, when one pursues a line of thought any distance . . . But, "Ellen!"

They held low-voiced, absorbed conversations while the duenns. knit one, purled two. In hardly suppressed excitement Deb re- ported to Cricket. “There's been an awful row at the Alhambra." “Was Ned Trent in it?" “Yes. He called Judge Purvis out of his name. The Judge fired him." "Is lae going away?" asked her friend, privately hoping that he was. Although she was coming to like the gambler, she felt that his departure would be the safest thing for little Dob.
