r F hie e In peace nor Dor live without respect and love lose me ALL LOVE Answer I should say that both you and nd your wife would have to turn over a new leaf and try to look at marriage from a new angle If you I expect to get Iet a t any happiness out of It CertaInly no woman who goes on wild parties is is isI I doing anything to pour oil on the troubled troubled waters nor can you expect a wife to love and andI I respect a Jealous husband who abuses her ic The only thing for lor iou ou and lour 3 our wife alte Ire to do 1 is to toI t DOROTHY DI have a heart to heart session In which vou ou both bolh admit I vou OU have acted wrongly and foolishly and fot COl I gie ghe each elLch other olber au ana take a fresh start You must begin by controlling our lour jealousy and 3 our temper A man often forgets that Jealousy is us nothing but an Insult it It t is a declaration to a woman that you do not trust her and that you believe her capable of doing despicable things And you cannot wonder that any woman of spirit resents that Also a man often otten thinks that his wife forgets the things he bo says to her In anger but she doesn't They rankle In her memory and be be- be become become r come a festering sore Women omen have base a long time to think as the they so go about their housework and the turn over and over In their minds the cruel things that their husbands ha have a e c said to them and forgotten You can never make maka your wife love you by being Jealous of her and saying mean things to her Love Is Ie I won by gentle gentleness ness by tenderness by consideration not by brutality And 3 sour our wife must roust realize that a woman can never get even with her husband by treating her badly by doing dOlDs things that place her In a abad abad bad attitude and throw suspicion upon her She hurts herself more than she hurts him when hen she does wild lId things thines and goes to wild parties It Isn Ian t enough for tor a woman to be good She has to look good You cant can't build married happiness on a rotten foundation You have to erect It on the solid rocks of trust and faith and right living and mutual consideration Nor will Just love bring happiness You have to add to that faith and trust and an unselfishness that makes you put the good of the other before you ou own DOROTHY DIX I S S SItTY TY It Y D DEAR DIAR AR MISS MSS DIx Will DIX Will vou OU please tell me what hat vou OU think about My women wearing knickerbockers My husband and I 1 ale aie almost at swords points on this and seem unable to settle it Jt t without outside help belp DISTURBED D WIFE WIrE Answer Well lady I think that any woman who appears In public In knickerbockers unless she Rhe Is II about to scale the Alps needs to have her head operated on for the sillies Surely nothing but not DOt possessing a II mirror and having no friend kind enough to tell her the truth about how she looks In pants ever makes any female make such a figure of fun tun of o herself as she does when she appears In garments that make her resemble a to heavy beavy tur tur- turnIp tur- tur turnip turnip nip Last summer I was ns standing in the lobby of ot a beautiful hotel In Naples when one of ot these grotesque figures wide Ide the hips and small at the feet came toddling toward us and I heard beard one Italian gentleman say to he shrugged his shoulders What Is la It A monstrosity neither malt ma male nor female e Hideous And so said IThe I IThe The question of modesty does not enter Into wearing knickerbockers There be no more discreet garment In fact knickerbockers are about all 11 the chaperone one any girl needs because It does away with everything that is alluring and fem fern feminine mine about her It turns her Into an ugly and misshapen copy of a small boy and if there Is an anything that Is less leas ess attract attractive e than that you will Ill have haie ha e to search earch the world to find und It Any woman must be very sure of her own b beauty auty who do de throws away all the help she can get from lovely oC- oC colors from soft draperies from exquisite fabrics Swathe the homeliest girl In chiffon that flatter her and you can make her good looking Put a white muslin dress on any woman un under under under der fifty end ind nd she will look like a debutante But put even a pretty girl into khaki breeches or oress a fat woman of mid middie middIe middie die age Je in knickers ers and the he Is homely enough to put out your eyes All dress to please men and what hat men like in women Is the eternal feminine It Is tile tte women omen who ho are most womanly who ho hoare are the frillIest and fluffiest that men admire most It Is the women omen who a ho bo wear ear satin slippers who ho ft ho salk 11 ak all over men It Is the flutter of a that men pursue When a man wants to something that looks like a aman aman aman man he turns his attention to another man He isn't Interested In a poor freaky Imitation man thc who wasn't built by na nature ture to wear mens men's clothes DOROTHY DIX S S S S SD SEAR i EAR MISS DIX DIX- DIX W DIX v hat would would d vou ou au advise e my doing about the U tol-U ol- ol DEAR D
