in EIGHT POUGHKEEPSIE NEW YORKER WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1948 Dorothy Dis Letter Box TEEN-AGER'S WOES DEAR MISS DIX: I am a girl of 15. My math interest in life is boys, Can you tell me how to attract 'nem and influence them to pay me attention? I am an honor roll student In high school, have nice clothes. Am not good-looking, but not what you would call bad-looking. But the boys and girls ignore me and act though I am not around. I am little bashful when with boys.

I find it hard to start a conversation and don't talk much. Please tell me what to do. LONESOME. ANSWER: My dear child, there is nothing the matter with you except your age. You are still child and you want to act like a sophisticated woman of the world, and you are breaking your poor little heart becatise you can't turn the trick.

You will say, "Sally and Susie are no older than I am, yet they gO around with; boys and have steadies that they kid around with, and who take them out to parties and the movies, but no boy even walks me home or buys me soda at the drug store" That is true enough, but girls don't age alike. Some girls mature earlier than others. Many girls at your age are as much grownup and have as much education, and as much sense, or lack of it, as they will ever have. But you belong in a different class. You are a student.

You are developing slowly and you will be in full bloom when they have begun to wither. Scared of Boys All of your troubles are age troubles. You are at the homely age when you have pimples and bumps, and you are all awkward legs and arms and bones. You are so scared of boys you are dumb in their presence and can't think of word to say, the boys overlook you because they, think you are mere babe. But in a couple of years your skin will clear up and you will have lovely complexion.

Your figure will have rounded out so your clothes will look like a style model on You will have gained self-confidence because you have worked and studied and made yourself interesting. Everyone will be saying, "What beautiful girl Mary. (or Sally, or whatever your name is) has developed Intol' I know, my dear, because every woman has been through, the hobbiedeboy stage and knows how trying it is on 4 girl who wants to be grownup ahead of her time. But don't let it get you down. Just have patience and it will DRAS and you will be so glad that you bided your time and.

waited for your day to came. DEAR MISS DIX: We are two young girls of 16, very much in love with two boys who are both in college. We are in school, too. They want us to marry them and stay with them and finish our schooling. which we are thinking of doing as we are ready to settle down.

Our Iroblem is: Should we marry them, or stay at home with our parents, who are very good to us, and finish school and marry the boys Inter? Please give us your advice. PUZZLED TEEN-AGERS. Answer: My earnest advice to all gris of 16 is to put off marriage until you are at least two or, three years older. That is the danger age for girls when they are passing from childhood into womanhood- and when they are filled with all sorts of dreams and fancies that change from day to day, and when they don't know what they want of life nor what life has to give them. It is the time of life when every girl in so, sloshing over with romance and so in love with love that she can believe herself enamoured of any passable-looking lad who comes her way.

wish that every girl of that age would learn a lesson from the tragic fate of the boys and girls who made war marriages when they were mere kids that the divorce courts are now trying to undo. And when was 16 ever ready to settle down? No playtime. No chance to shop around and look the boys over before you tied up with. one 10p good. No experience with the world.

Not even time to learn how to cook and keep house. It makes one laugh at such childish view of marriage. If one doesn't cry over DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My busband and I love each other very dearly, but we are always arguing and fighting over foolish little things never over big, important things. But in the end we always kiss and make up. I have been on the point of leaving my husband many times, but I have stuck it out for the sole purpose of holding.

my home together for my two little girls. What do you think of my situation? FOREVER GRATEFUL ANSWER: Dubious. Any marriage that depends upon the mood and temper of and wife who are forever quarreling and making up is held together by a very flimsy string that may snap at any moment. You may think that a kiss blots out all the animosity that underlies domestic brawl, but it doesn't. Long after you have for-' gotten the kiss the memory of the cruel things that you said to each other festers in your heart.

In realIty, there is no such thing as forgiving and torgetting. So if you can so easily make up after the fight, why have the fight? Why not live together in peace instead of always patching up a quarrel? think a woman who has -small children and who is dependent on her husband for their support should endure great deal of harsh treatment from her mate before she gets a divorce. She owes that much obligation to the helpless creatures she has brought into the world. DEAR MISS DIX: We are two identical twins, 16 years old, and we are both in love with the same man. This man leads us on, One day he acts like he.

loves one of us. The next day he declares he loves the other one. Neither of us feels she can drop him, yet our sisterly love continues. What shall we do? SISTERS ANSWER: You are 60 young you don't know what love is. You are not in love with the man, you are in love with love.

The sooner you drop the illusion, the better tor you. He bodes you no good.

To obtain a copy send 10 cents (coin preferred) and 1 a 3-cent stamp to him, care The Poughkeepsie New Yorker, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. (Released by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Ruth Millett We, the Women The Women's Bureau conference on "The American Women" held in Washington recently brought forth lot of weird ideas. Such as: "Ten million women making ten million baked potatoes is absurd.

Hot meals should be delivered as they are to airplanes, every night." But there was some truth, brought out at the conference. for instance: "Home is the only part of the whole American economy where one person has to do everything." In homes were Papa works on eight-hour, five-day week and Mama -with several small children to care for -works 14-hour, seven-day week, things are pretty unequally divided. But women probably don't want the American home completely changed to cut down on their hours. Any over- worked housewife in the country would probably settle for this simple solution. Take the leisure time of the husband and divide it so that the wife gets half.

Share the Leisure If the husband gets Saturday and Sunday off, how about his taking over at home one day and giving his wife a day of rest and relaxation? To even up a family's work wouldn't take anything more radical than for husband to acknowledge the fact that a family's leisure ought to be divided up. But come to think of it, maybe that is a more radical idea than any proposed at the conference. Eileen F. Hauver Celebrates Birthday Elleen Frances Hauver, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
