when they marry merry are In love with each tach other tenth of f the honest endeavor to make marriage a success that thai th they y do to make success In business or there would be almost Imort no unhappy marriages So If you and your husband honeymoon always t set et In yo lr sky realty really wish wl h to keep your It I Is perfectly possible to do so 60 Of Ot course some fome of o the glamour and the romance of ot the first davs da s im i et In of that married life are bound to t go In time bu n you get place that sense tense of o of trust and faith in In each other of being welded into ono one that IB Is the sweetest and the roost most precious thing on earth The recipe for making marriage a success Is 18 I as simple as athe the cook books say tel tel- fol follow the recipe for sponge cake and as aB low thus this rule and it cannot fall In three words It consists In Int iZ t f fall fair play politeness and appreciation Fair play In a husband and wife going fifty fifty-fifty In n everything j l This means that a man gives hIs 13 site fe her share ot the profits and perquisItes of their joint partnership and It also means that a woman does her share of the 1 ork It Is just as much her duty to make a comfortable home as It Is la his to make snake a Using living It likewise means that each claims that each shall give the other the individual freedom for or herself Politeness That means that a husband and wife shall shail re- re retarn re retain tarn tan the decent reserves after marriage that they did before marriage marriage It means that they shall keep themselves physically attractive and that they will retrain refrain from making rude speeches and criticism to each other just as much as If It they were nero ere strangers Appreciation This meart that they will not take the sacrifices sacrifices and the labor of each other for granted but will return thanks for blessIngs received with peevish die dis There would be no more disgruntled husbands a wives It if married couples would show each other a little ap- ap ap appreciation As to your last question I believe that just as many men starve for love as women and that a 0 wife s should show

keeps S S S C C S S EAR DOROTHY Does DIX DIX Does It make pup any difference It a girl Is five live DEAR D years older than her sweetheart I am that much older than mine and nd he does not know this secret as yet Shall I tell him 1 I M A J Answer Five years Is not a prohibitive difference In years when It is on the fhe womans woman's side though It Is always better for the theman man to be the tho elder i In the first place a oman noman ages so much faster taster than a 8 man does end In the second place when rhen en the woman Is la the older she has to have superhuman self control to refraIn retrain from bossing her husband around as asIt asIf asIt It If he sere acre ere her small boy because If It she Is older she always thInks that she knows best beat And In the third place when the woman Is the older she Is la always conscious of It and Invariably jealous She cannot ue see her husband with young girls without feeling eeling that youth calls calIs to As for fer telling your husband how old you are oh la Ia tat Ia Never A woman womans woman's birthday Is la a secret between her and tam fame A wise wife never Ily Bible and It Is la nobody else else's business tells her husband her age or where she ahe he gets her or v- v ether her hair Is her own or not All that he Is con eon concerned with are the tue results And If ehe ohe look good to him and seems Just the right age that Is all that matters matter DOROTHY DIX S S S S C S DOROTHY OROTHY Should DIX DIX Should a t girl work after she sha Is la married DEAR I am a business girl and have a good job jab that draws dOwn a good salary The young man to whom I 1 am engaged does not make as much muchas muchas muchas as I do but he be Is la Industrious and aId efficient and iq In In time will work up to a 8 good place It I continue we can be married at once Otherwise It tt will be he years of ot waiting before my nance fiance makes enough loT for us to Its lh e C on What shall we do STENOGRAPHER Answer I do not see cee any reason Teason why a business woman should not keep ke p on with her work after she the Is married until the babies come There are arc even many cases In which there I la Is a grand grandmother mother or an aunt w can take care of the children which makes advisable for her Fier still to earn urn money outside of the hom home and where whore the money thus made Is la of more value to her children than her personal attention would be In these days of ot the high cost ot of living many men have to wait walt so long lOllS to make enough to marry on that they waste all the sweetness ud and freshness of youth Often Otten they are kept from marrying at all aU and this state of ot affairs can only be obviated ob by the woman also aleo becoming a breadwinner DOROT DOROTHY Y
