the domestic misery that we see ee i Jm tC about us Is the direct result of people having DOROTHY DIX made mistakes In this important subject They interpreted their symptoms erroneously They thought that a passing fancy was wa a s deathless passion and by the time they found out their error they were married to the wrong wrone one The danger of mistaking near love genuine arti arti- article art art- article dc cle Is one to which womankind is peculiarly liable since women spend their lives in seeking love lov and they thy are ar so anxious to find It that they are apt to pick up any sort of a pinch pinchbeck article and delude themselves Into the belief that it is the real thing love lov than to be beloved beloved b To a woman It is far more Important to loved because as long as al a woman loves enough she can forgive every fault and shortcoming In a man Her HT affection makes a halo through which she sees him glorified nhI Y CORRESPONDENT does well wel therefore not to waste her time My asking as liS most girls eirls do Does this man love me with an tion that will viI last through a n lifetime but hut Do I love this man with witha witha witha a love that will never falter or In six months will I be Wondering what oi on earth I ever saw In him that I even Imagined to be at- at at attractive e But by what acid aciel test shall a girl try to find out whether it is pure gold or merely plated gold-plated First I 1 should say by the amount of a mOin mans man's company she can stand stanel without yawning A A I POET has said Unless you can muse in iii a crowd all day on an anA A AI absent face that has fixed you never say you love ove Rats Anybody c can can ca'n n muse mute on all an absent face Its It's the present face Cace that ir IF lithe the trouble Unless you can spend say SOlY a long summer day in Joy Joyous Otis ous conversation with v a man and still stilt pin pine for more of hi his society when it is over instead of f feeling eling that you are ar a can can- candidate candidate for a rest cure then you may be very sure lure ure that you are not in love HI second test lest Is to 10 call a halt on the making love and see If THE THI T you'll youil like likE- tho the mil man nan as well wen hell he is discussing a a political situ sItu- sItuation situation atlon or the outlook as you do when he lie Is telling you that you are the most beautiful creature crE on earth with the tir most Ice lug Ing was wa's ways and that lie he fell In love e with you at first sight All of us little sister warm up to a man while he is ii i flattering us as a kitten snuggles up to a hot brick Unfortunately Unfortunately Unfortunately however the language of matrimony i it is not couched In complimentary terms and the question is whether a man has a charm for you that will make you hang upon his utterances utterances utter- utter has has i ances tio no matter what what- what what-he he says or whether you merely enjoy him hint because he ho jollies you A L THIRD test of o love is to bo be found In whether the th man roan alone I is isi A sufficient to you ou or 01 whether he be has lias to be perpetually Offering a chromo with himself to get set you to tako take him If you prefer spending the evening with him quietly conversing you may be very sure sur that you are hard herd hit bit for kee keeps PS UT If you like him best when he Is taking you to the theatre or BUT B out for supper or doing something else for your amusement you are arc not genuinely In love You care more for fol the good times he gives E you y than you OU do for the map man Finally little sister remember that the supreme test o a orall alt II love I is sacrifice Consider well how you paint the future to yourself If when you think of marrying a man mOin your mind dwells only on en what he could do for you and what he can give you and how happy and comfortable ho he h can make you you do not love him But on the other oth r hand if you think of what you can do for him what you can save sav him of how you can help him then th n that Is LOVE THE ITHE real test ot of love Is not whether you 30 would like Uko to wear a mans man's 1 tiarA and rIde rido In III his automobiles but whether a gas fa range ranee and anda a two four flat lat looks good to you OU If It only sow sope particular HE llE U Is sItting across a little table spread for fog two If you love a man better than you do ease luxury and Ind pretty clothes and nd gay times then you have hav got the kind of love that is a chronic complaint that lasts from the altar to tile the grave Otherwise you have h v only a slight attack of chili chills and fever that will soon pass pan and leave you none the worse wone for it DOROTHY PIX MX CopyrIght by Public Ledger |
