Tom Marriage Never Alters Man or Woman It Only InUntifitM Virtues, Magnifies Faults, Says Dmrothy Dix Men Furnish PUnty of Tips, in Courting, About the Kind of Husbands They Will Make la lly DOUOTIIY DIX. A- young girl Is engaged, to be married to a young man who CQmea to see her nearly every evening, but who never brings her a flower, nor a bos Xf candy, nor takes her to any place ot amuse ment, except very 'pccaslopally to tho "movies." This girl Is a nlco frirl. There isn't a bit of the grafter afcout her, and aho wouldn't know the first principle about how o g6 about "working a man." but she's ybung, and gay of heart, and she finds It a trifle dull to spend J1 ? her evenings con versing with even hQr sweetheart- . She would like a little diversion thrown In on tho side, and she wants to know of me if I don't think It "queer" that her fiance never takes her to a dance, or to the theater, or out - for a little supper. I think it .is more than "queer " I think that this girl's guardian angel la strictly on the Job looking out after her, and that she has received a solemn warning not to marry that man', and that if she doesn't' take the tip she will rue It to the longest day she lives. . . This, young man Is giving her before marriage a very small sample of the line bfconduct he would pursue after mar riage. If, when he's courting, he show that he's a tightwad, he will make one of the skinflint husband who expect a wife to run a house and keep a good tame on air, and who asKs a woman what she did with the quarter she was given jveek before last. If, before marriage, a man neglects the little delicate attentions that please a woman, after marriage he will be brutally dlsregardful of her feelings and tantes. The difference between having a hus band who remembers your birthday and one who forgets It is the difference be tween matrimony that Is angel's food and. matrimony that Is plain corned beef and cabbage, but the difference between being .married to a man who Is unxlous that you should always he pleased and happy and bplng married to a man who doesn't care whether you are happy or miserable Is the difference between heaven and hell. When a man Is wooing a girl he ordl- narlly wants to do Just what she wants to do or at least he pretends to and so. It In his courting days he Isn't willing to take aw about, but wants to in not In favor, bat be srtUJ ntay put In a comfortable chair in a placo where somebody , else Is paying Uio rent- and- the electric light bill, ha ,wlll make the isort cf 'a sh'lrt-sleeved and slippered husband -.that you, can't move out of'-hla corner? with' a blast "of dyna mite. . , ,i . Tho;'tr! who1 marries him .may bid adieu to all .social life andentertalnment at the allan He won't want-' to goto a concert, or'a lecture, or to.aee a-play, or to play a game .'of cards with a 'neighbor, or to any sort of diversion, and he- won't see whyvhls wife wants to bo, either. It will be.homa for hers, and tho society of a husband' who will spend his evenings reading- the paper, and who ' will - think that JtspteavBur enough for her just to sit up kweTlGoVTat him. In pkWnff.out'thelr husbands girls will do WBMi-tolriwiiber that when a man goes sWlUmc. .he always nuts his best foot fjirwtostf'and, lf that best "foot Is a cloven hoof, 'Jf they're wise they will take warning from It, and have nothing to do with him. Marriage doesn't change people. It simply brings out whatever Is tho strong est quality In thorn, Whether that quality ia good or bad. It Intensifies virtues, and magnifies faults. Of course, marriage la really the big gamble. All do not know what they are getting In a husband or a wife until they have taken the package they drew In the lottery home and examined It, but obser vation hands us a good many tips on a man or woman's character that enables us to give some pretty shrewd guesses. The girl- referred to hx the beginning of tills article, for instance, has been tip ped off that It she marries the man who never takes her anywhere, or gives her any pleasure, she will get a husband who will be miserly, selfish and a stick-in-the-mud. The girl who marries a man who comes to see her smelling of Itquor and maudlin with drink has been warned In time that if she marries him she will have a drunken husband, for whom she'll have to get up nnd open the door In the mid dlo of the night. The girl who marries a young man who has never been able to keep a situation or to make a living for himself, has been given a tip big enough to knock a house down with that she will acquire a loaf- Irg, no account husband that she will have to support. When a man in his courting days' Is grouchy and surly, and Ill-tempered, and a girl has to be always jollying him Into a good humor, she bus received her tip that It she marries him she will i-piid a mlserblo life walking on eggs 1 for fear that she will say or do something that will explode his Infernal machine of disposition. If a couple quarrel before marriage they She w (Aiders why the girls are iicHoiy, will quarrel ten times worse after mar riage, and they should have enough sense to break away before they havo to call In the divorce court to help them. If a girl observes that a man la fussy about. his eating, and likes to make his own salad dressing at tho table, he has been tipped oft that his wife will need to bo a good cook. If alio notices that he's always the hero of his own stories. and that he likes to talk about himself, she's got a tip that any wife who holds him will have to be an A No. 1 flatterer. By listening to tho things that a man laughs at you can. get a good working model of the kind-of a husband he will make. It he laughs at cruel speeches that stab like a knife, he will make his Tifo tho butt ot his sarcasm. If he laughs at coarse, vulgar stories, he will make the kind of a husband who has no delicate appreciation of a woman's nature. If the sight of other people's mlsfor tunes fill him with mirth, there's nothing on earth that, he will sympathize with except himself, but If he has tho kindly humor that can gild ever' misfortune In life, and lf his smile nt other's weak nesses Is full of tenderness and under standing, then he's a man to tie up with, no matter whether he rich or poor, or of htgh or low estate. He'll make the kind of a husband that'll keep a woman cn her knees thanking God she's got him. Oh. men furnish plenty of tips about the kind' of 'husbands they will make lf enly-girls" had the sense and the courage! to refuse-to play, the bad ones. I rr The.
