THE PARIS NEWS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1950 Dorothy Dlx TODAY: Sharp-Tongued Fiancee. DEAR MISS The girl whom 1 am going with makes me so ridiculous that 1 have been made the laughing stock of my crowd. I love this girl, but when 1 tell her so we always get into a quarrel and it ends up by me getting the worst of the bargain. 1 am convinced that 1 cau win her love if I am patient and bide my time, hut is it worth the price I have to pay for being the goat of my crowd? Shall I continue to go with her or shall I find another girl who will treat me decently? J. L.

A. H. ANSWER: Very likely the girl is in love with you and her ridicule of you is just her defense mechanism. She may not want to marry and settle down right now, so she scoffs at love. Or you may not be just the type of man she thought she would fall in love with and she Js fighting against the attraction you have for her and won't admit it.

But whatever her reason for making you the butt of her jests, your technique in handling the situation is all wrong. Patience is not your play. Nor is submission. Neither is humility. What she needs is a dose of her own medicine.

Turn the tables on her. Treat her rough. Wisecrack about her hats. Make sport, of her dancing. Take it from me, son, and I've been a woman a long time and know all (he answers to the secrets of the feminine heart, no woman ever falls In love with a man whom she can make look ridiculous.

Anyway, don't you think that a KEEP YOUR PARTY MAVE SPEARMINT SI6HTJ girl who finds pleasure In tormenting you and holding you up as a figure; of fun before your crowd is a mighty poor bet as a wife? There is something essentially cruel in the nature of any one who finds pleasure in wounding the self-love of another and who is willing to stab to the heart one who loves her for the sake of getting a laugh. And if I were you I should not let I myself in for a lifetime of being my wife's stooge. 1 What a man wants in a wife is a woman who will put him in an attractive light before the public, not one who will make him something to laugh at. So I should advise you to pass up the humorous lady in favor of one who appreciates your good points instead of turning the spotlight on your weak ones, DEAR MISS DIX: I am engaged to be married to a very fine man who is fifteen years my senior, but here is my problem: He is very domestic in his tastes. Loves a home and Is especially fond of children and is always talking and planning the hon.e and children we (will have.

Unfortunately I have had to havs an operation that will prevent my ever having children. Should I tell him or marry him without telling him LUCY ANSWER: Tell him before you marry him. It is the only honorable thing to do. If you married him without telling him that you could not have children, he would never forgive you. In fact, the marriage would not be binding in law and he could have it annulled if you deceived him in this important matter.

To many men children are not a requisite to a happy marriage. They have no strong paternal instinct and arc rather glad than otherwise If they do not have to be bothered with babies. But there are many other men who adore children, who have a has the mother-heart, and to such men as these marriage without children Is cinders, ashes and dust. They are always more father than husband, and no woman would make them happy who did not give them children. ACROSS Z2.

BE PLUMB TICKLED TO JINE YE.WiSTOFER REOGEWOOD-- t'LL FETCH MULE AN' WACOM AT SUNDOWM, PROMPT YOUR BABY AND MINE Sources of Antagonism to Child Should Be Studied By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED One of the saddest home situations conceivable is when a parent feels and shows an antipathy toward one of his children. I have in mind a father who is openly anatgonistic to his son. This is the only boy in a family of girls to whom the father is quite loving. But everything this boy does is criticized harshly and when the boy defies him it would seem the father takes real pleasure in whipping him unmercifully. When a father finds wanting and seeking opportunities' to punish a child, he should asU himself some pointed questions awd try to uncover the sources of antagonisms.

It is possible that this father is imitating his own father who was harsh to him. At this late date he may be inclined to argue that he was the better for it, though he may not recognize his behavior as compensation for what was done to him and which he has never forgotten. MAY RESENT DEMANDS Sometimes men do not recognize the fleeting nature of much developmental behavior and feel that to make a good child they must not spare the rod. A father is ever more self-conscious about the costs of rearing a family, since presumably he earns the money. Unconsciously, he may resent the boy's demands upon him and decide that he must be an exemplary child to-repay him for spending, so much upon him.

This father may be in a sub- servient position to his own boss and so he comes home and his family because he is compelled to be a yes-man in his work- That situation always develops inferiority feelings which have to find expression in some way. OR IS HE JEALOUS? It is possible for a father to jealous of his son's relationship with his mother. If the father feels that the boy likes his mother best, he may express this Jealousy by punishment, wanting to hurt physically the child who is hurting him emotionally: It may be that his boy resembles his grandfather, thus reminding father of the man who was harsh toward him, or he may resemble some of the mother's family toward whom the father feels antipathy. In either case he takes it "out" on the boy. It is well for a father to try to analyze his own emotions or seek help from someone who can this for him, rather than to ruin his relationship with his son by continuing to be dominated by them.

It- pays for any parent tc- know what is the foundation for resentment and aggravation he feels toward any member of his family.
