Only Possible Advice to Give Lovesick Woman--Which of These Tivo Pouters Is More EAR MISS DIX--I am a woman of 37, craztly In love with a man who professes to love but frankly tells me that he has no Intention of ever marrying. He wants to be my lover, but not my husband. Of late the scarcity of his dates makes me feel that he Is trying to let me down 'easy. In fact, there are no dates except of my making. He never takes the Initiative.

The days that I don't sec him are such long hours of hope and fear and desperate desire that I am driven by something stronger than myself to call him on some excuse or other. Usually a results in my seeing him and the world Is right again. Must I stop calling him, knowing It will probably mean never seeing him again? Would I bp Justified In having an affair with him, or may I hope that what I desire Is true and that he IS In. love with me, but Is reluctant to give up his bachelor freedom? ALICE. Answer: Nothing elst en earth is more fathetio than the besotted fotty of a woman who In.

love trith a nan who Soet not tote her, for the refiuet to ute any Intelligence fn dealing with the catastrophe. She shuts her eyes to facts that are BO obvious that blind woman should them. 6he refuses to acknowledge defeat, and prolongs her agony by hoping against hope that eorae miracle Is going to happen that will turn a man who Is cold and Indifferent to her Into an ardent lover and make a confirmed bachelor lead her to the altar. When a woman allows herself to nse her head instead of her heart, she knows that love isn't thing that any girl can wish upon a man. She knows that It is not what she does, bat some mysterious force of Nature that a man to her and makes him want to marry her, or else repels him from her.

She knows that no possible effort of here will light the fires of passion In a man's son! unless the tinder was already there. She knows that, while an occasUnal woman does not inveigle or coerce a man into marrying her against his inclination, such marriages are Invariably unhappy. And sho knows that when once a man has tired of a woman and lost his for her. nothing on earth can ever revive It again or mzsc her Clamorous afaln In his Yet knotting all these things which Mother told her first daughter and which have been handed down In the minds of women ever since, when a woman Is In love she stultifies herself by clinging to the fatuous belief that her case Is different, and that somehow, some way, she can turn a man's liking Into loving and make him marry her, In spite of himself. She doesn't even try to patch up the crack In her heart.

She doesn't make the slightest attempt to cure herself of her love sickness. She Just goes on wasting her jouth and throwing away' her chances ot marrying somebody else on a hopeless Infatuztion for a man who has Just been amusing himself with her and who Is weary of playing around with her and wants a new partner. It doesn't make sense. But that a exactly what you are doing, Alice, and inasmuch as you arc an intelligent, modern unman, wkv don't lion haic the courage to face the truth and see the situation as it cr'sts. not as you Me it to be' Jittt ask yourself what you.

are getting out of it except misery and. tears. Evidently this man Is tired of you, or you wouldn't to Jiound him on the telephone to get him to make dates with you. A man Ls eager for his sweetheart's society and is always planning ways for them to bo together. He doesn't love you, or else ho would marry jou.

All this talk about, bachelor freedom is forgotten when a man sees a girl who sweeps him of! his feet. The very fact that this man proposed an illicit relationship to you Is all the proof you need to know that he didn't care enough lor jou to be tied to you for keeps. He intended to throw you alter the romance wore thin. Otherwise he would have married you to begin with and 'saved the scandal. Believe me, you have a lot less to weep RG a.

deserted sweetheart than you would as a deserted mistress. Ot all useless pursuits, the most profitless is running after a man who is running anay from you. Give it np and forget him. DOROTHY DIX. DOROTHY DIX-- My husband and I are constantly arguing about which one of us is the more spoiled.

We both pout. My husband pouts more frequently than I do, but he says that I pout longer when I do pout and that he alwajs has to make up. He Is terribly jealous and says It Is becau.se he loves mo so much that ho pouts when I am nice to another man, and I pout as an after-effect when we had a fuss over It. Wo will be everlastingly grateful to you if jou can settle our argument about which one of us Is the morn spoiled, and tell us how to overcome this pouting habit. MR.

AND MRS. NEWLYWED. Answer: Instead of being married you should be In a kindergarten If you. are indulging in such a childish habit as pouting, and what you really need is the good, old-fashioned remedy that actermined and strom- armcd mothers used to administer to their youngsters when they swelled up with rage and stuck out their mouths and refused to speak when they ncrc spoken to. I have seen many a mother cure a poutins child and change It from an Image of wrath to a sweet, little angel by turning him or iier oxer her knee and applying a stout hairbrush where It would do tha most good.

No one, unfortunately, can five you two silly joting peop'e tho fpinklng you deserve, but if you go on as yon are, Life will do It, and with a big slick, too. You will go on being spoiled and quarreling time jour wilb clash, or jour selfishness comes in conflict. When you differ, of talking things out and one or the other being big enough and Ju5t, enough to ghc In to the other, ou will get raad and go off and sulk mid think mean, bitter things against each other. And before you know it. you will Ime killed your and broken up your home end you will be on your way to the divorce court.

That Is a pretty high price to pay for pouting, isn't it? Cf course, all married couples are bound to have diferenccs of opinion and little spats. When you. do, don't brood over then. Kiss Ruby Colson-Ruby made honor wnlch is believed to bo good. 11 during her entire high school rccr.

When ona would admit having formed an opinion, that he still had some of that opinion in his mind and that it would require evidence to remove it, Mr. Relly appealed to the court that the juror was not qualified. Judge Pack then asked more questions nnd some of the talesmen thus challenged told the court they could put any previous opinion entirely out of their minds and decide this case on the evidence yet to be presented. In this event Judge Pack the juror competent. This was particularly true of R.

B. Elbey, of Beat Five, who was Interrogated by Mr. Rclly practically an hour. Sixth Full Jury Panel. The twelve men seated in the jury box when court was adjourned Friday evening included: O.

Ellzey, Beat Five. John Steverson, Bsat Four. Earl Bryant, Beat Five. Whether any of these men would remain on the Jury when the defense finished Its examination was uncertain. This list shows a majority from Beats Four and Five, as far removed from the city of Laurel as possible to be In Jones county.

Proposed Night Session. Judge Pack proposes to hold a night session of court Friday In an effort to complete the Jury. He suggested, if It were possible to complete the jury Friday night, to recess court over Saturday to give the attorneys opportunity to confer with the witnesses and be ready to start taking testimony Monday morning. Defense counsel informed the court It would not be possible to complete the jury Friday night and Judge Pack rccesseil court until Saturday morning. Whether the jury could bo obtained on Saturday was a serious question.

After the third full panel had been accepted by the state Friday afternoon and tendered to the defense, Mr. Reily questioned D. W. Gunter and had the court him for cause. J.

A. Bassctt of Laurel was called to the 'vacated clialr and District Attorney Alexander Currlc had the court excuse him for cause.

Mr. Reily addicted tlie court i an eloquent plea for full latitude In questioning the Jurors--not to be limited to the bare a provisions. Curric Revpojids. Mr. Currlc that "Mr.

Relly hart made a beautiful talk and I enjoyed it." Then he insisted that questioning of the piospcctivc jurors be reasonable and according to law.

Currle. Jeff Collins of defense counsel spoke on the same line as Mr. He Insisted that the jurors hae! read the record of the Keeton case in full In the Laurel Leader-Call, and the same witnesses were to be used In this case, with one tlon. It was Mr. Collins' belief that some of them had "already tried" this defendant and that jurors dismissed at the instance of the defense had their minds already made up.

Premium On Ignorance. "To single out men who have not read the newspapers would be to put a premium on declared Judge Pack. "They ought to read the newspapers." "When a man says he read of the case and formed an opinion at that time from what he read," continued the Judge, "but who says he now has an open mind and would reach a verdict according to the law and the evidence, he should make a fair and Impartial Juror." The jury, which had retired about 3:15, was brought back Just a few minutes before 4 o'clock. Questioning Resumed. Mr.

Relly resumed questioning Mr. Ellzey. After being subjected to a most rigid examination for more than an hour, Mr. Ellzey retained his seat. E.
