Sage Advice on Getting Ones Man.

Wise Girl Who Spends Her Money for Travel DEAR MISS DIX I am a senior in college, over six feet tall, curlyhaired, athletic and very good-looking. I am desperately in love with a very pretty and intelligent young lady, and I am sure that she loves me devotedly, too. But there are two things that are wrong. In the first place, she is awfully short, much too short for my stately stature. ShouM I let that interfere with our future happiness? 't jn the second place, I am quite bashful and have been slow in pushing my suit.

I really should have proposed long before now, but I havent had the nerve, although I am sure that she will accept me; How do you go about this proposing business and how can I work up the courage to go through wit hthe ordeal?

Dont you realize, you funny old thing, that if I stuck to one kind of clothes all my life, yon would soon get so used te me that you Would take me for granted like you do a policeman, A postman or a fireman that you know by the clothes he wears Dont you realize that If you got entirely used to me, if you thoroughly understood me, you would soon grow tired of me because my novelty had worn off? Women know this about their men, so as soon as men stop commenting on our clothes and take the dress and the woman in it for granted, they begin to look around for some change in style which will again command mens attention! We want to be noticed.

We dont want the same thing to happen to us whieh happened to the mechanical pianu you pumped vigorously for a eouple of years and then forgot. It happened to the phonograph which you played all day and half the night until the novelty wore off. It happened to the radio which you kept going day and sat with night getting distant stations and which you never touch now except to get the reports from the ball game or a prize fight. dont want to become stale and be pushed into the corner where you shove the other things of which you have grown tired. If you are to the point now where you think I should have on a dress twelve inches from the floor, its about time I dropped them six inches more to make you howl and notice me and my ankles again; They are rather pretty-ankles and I like you 'to look at and comment on them.

As soon as you stop it, I shall do things to them so you will look again, no matter what it is I have to do. Thats why you are funny and Why I like you, too! (Copyright, 1930, McNaught Syndicate, Inc.) Answer: I dont see why the ladys stature should be any obstacle In the course of true love flowing smoothly to its destined end. Nor is your choice surprising. Big men nearly always have a for pocket Yenuses, whereas little men preter ladies of proportions. It is natures way of keeping the human race so It can wear ready-made clothes.

batic dancing by Dottie Sue Young, petite young dancer; with Lucille Young and Sara Jean Young. Unusual was the talent displayed by this little dancer and she was the recipient of prolonged applause from the audience. With nimble grace she executed some difficult work with the ease and suppleness of an older and more experienced dancer. Splendid numbers were also presented by Mary Guy in two solos the Toe Tap Specialty an intricate dance involving some skillful toe tap dancing, and Little Miss Acrobat which displayed unusual brilliance, and which was creative of much favorable comment. April Showers, a whimsical number, was presented with much charm of manner by Carolyn Sue Royce, and a brilliant bit of toe dancing was given by Margaret Welsh Poag in A gorgeous costume of amber sequins and tulle.

Valse Classique was a beautifully executed number by Mildred Cohen in a gorgeous costume of green satin and sequins. Each soloist displayed marked ability in the terpsichorean art, and each number bore the finish of an artist. A number of unique beauty was that given by Mary Guy and Sarah Elizabeth Randle in The Tapping Skaters. 'The specialty given by Virginia Lynch McNall was a brilliant number of dazzling beauty, and one that wds presented with graceful abandon and artistry. With a gorgeous costume with a short coat of sparkling sequins fashioned in bolero style and flowing sleeves, this solo rtas of unsurpassed beauty.

The dancing revufc of yesterday afternoon marks the last of the annual spring dancing recital, and the classes will be discontinued until So that disposes of difficulty No. 1. Difficulty No. 2 is equally easy to solve. All that you have to do is to grip your eourage in both hands, shut your eyes, commend your soul to its Maker and take the plunge.

Quit standing shivering. on the bank. Remember that faint heart neer won fair lady and that he eother fears his fate too much or his deserts are small, who dares not put it to the touch to win or lose it all. Therd Is no set formula for popping the question. Each man does it in his own particular way and generally when he leasts expects to do It and in words he had never thought to nse on such an occasion.

Airnjjicitij, ejJ ckbiyn McNiaght Syndicate. N. Y. Andrew and Imogens By ROE FULKERSON In olden times there was much formality about the affair. The enamo-ed youth approached his Lady Loves father with fear and trembling and humbly solicited the honor of paying court to his daughter and asked for her heart and hand.

Never a word to the girl first. But nowadays dad is the last person to hear about the engagement. The girl and the boy settle the matter between themselves and any old proposal goes so long as it is genuine and looks to have a fourteen-karat wedding ring at the ojher end. Naturally, men go about proposing to girl in different ways, according to their temperament The romantic ones wait for a background of a moonlight night with a band sobbing heart-brokenly in the distance, and they quote poetry and tell the girl that life means nothing without her and that they will go off and commit suicide if she refuses to be theirs. The practical and domestic man in apt to steer a girl around a subdivision full of bungalotfs with window-boxes or about a block of new fiats, and after calling her attention to the plumbing and the built-m electric ice-box, ask her how she would like to keep house in One of them with him.

i The business boy gets a pencil and figures on the tablecloth when they are having a bite to eat at a restaurant how two can live as cheaply i as one. The bashful youth la as likely to propose in a traffic jam as anywhere else, because he has worked himself Up to the proposing point and it is then or never with him. While the man with fie Inferiority complex writes his proposal, bacause he can never get up enough nerve to say it. But it really doesnt maW the slightest difference how the trick is done. The girl will say "yes if she wants yon and no if she doesn't.

Delegates from all parts of the United States and Canada are expeeted here June 7 and 8 for- thd 83rd annual congress of the North American Skat league. Skat has nothing to do with cats, as the name might indicate to those unfamiliar with it, but is a popular card game.

I dont interfere much about your clothes, but that dinky little skirt is just about long enough for an eight year old school girl In socks and bare knees! Myr but tyou are funny! exclaimed Imone, going into peals of laughter. Say, what are you laughing at? demanded Andrew, indignantly; The only husband I have, who is as funny as a Punch and Judy show! Imogene was still laughing. Whats so funny about my thinking thfit skirt too short? he demanded. It hasnt been six months since you went into tirades about me putting on the newer and longer skirts! reminded Imogene.

You fairly demanded that I stand out against the new and Silly fashions of long skirts and stick to short ones. Thats, exactly what i have done today. I didnt expect any one would come down and I intended to go around the place watering this and that, pulling a weed here and there. So I thought Id jut on this old skirt which wouldnt be in my way. Then the folks came before 1 had a chance to change; This Is the knee length skirt about which you made so many pro tests when I first began wearing The dance revue presented by Virginia Lynch McNalls dancing pupil; yesterday afternoon and last evening was a production of scintilat-ing beauty, vividly suggestive of an Arabian Night6 fantasy, with its exotic coloring and Its graceful dancing.

Act one portrayed an old-fashioned garden that was a symphony of color in pastel shades, with Its arbor of roses over the colorful panorama of pansies, tulips, golden bells, sweet williams, morning glories and sunflowers. A graceful portrayal of a Summer Breeze was given by Nibby McKenzie, and Mistress Mary with her dog was demurely depicted by Miss Gertrude Feazel in an old-fashioned pantaletted costume. Betty Rose Levy was adorable as a forget-me-not, and Helen Fernandes as a silver-winged butterfly. A group number of unusual beauty Was the morning glory dance in which participants wre tealistically costumed as morning glories and rambler roses. Act two opened With a beach scene with lovely girls in beach costumes seated underneath the wide parasol, and in the swihgs watching the antics of the bathers.

In this number remarkable acrobatic dancing was given by the smaller children. Among the solo dancers In the second act were Phyllis Kopp, India Stubbs, Mildred Cohen, Betty Fran ces Riley, Elizabeth Ann Gibbs, Rose Ann Reid, Mary Guy, Doris Beaman, Jane Rhymes, Hazel Mitchell, Margaret Welsh Poag, Adelaide Parker, Carolyn Sue Royce, Barbara Sack-efct, Mary Wilbur McGee, Patsy Slack.

The present museum building contains a wealth of rarities, but its three large floors are cramped, with many cases of exhibits standing back-to-back. The board of trustees has been obliged to turn down offets of many additional presents to the museum; Perhaps the most imposing of these preferred gifts is a complete Abyssinian room, offered by the Emperor of Abyssinia. The trustees have been advised that this room will be shipped as soon as thd museum can accommodate it. MUSEUM IN CANADA WILL BE ENLARGED Many Valuables Cramped In Close Quarters.

One truth is clear: Whatever is, is right! Men believe that whatever is right, and women believe that whatever is, is old fashioned. Men want the world of fashion td stand still, while the joy and happiness of a womans life is up in what is coming next.

THE MODERN RITZY OFFICE CALLS FOR A PRETTY CHIC STENO It probably was a mere coincidence, but there was the young woman at the information desk in a reception room that outmoderned anything yet observed in modernistic Office setting.

She was done in golden brown and shell pink. A coral tipped hand reached for a telephone, (French design). The telephone, my sisters, of the hard working gentry, was tinted shell pink with traceries of golden borwn working through to its nonutilitarian looking surface. Me and umbrella (borrowed from my kind hearted elevator man) made a dive for an obscure corner. We werent shell pink nor golden brown, either one of us.

We looked like a rainy day and felt like a whole season of em. So we took to the softly shaded niche. When got our ribs straightened out after a fall into one of the legless wonders known a chairs in modern arty coicles, we were led into an office that decided for me and me boneheaded pal that next time we went office calling we were going de luxe. Rain or no rain--were going In tints; if we have to call up ahead and inquire whether it should be gold and pink, lavender and gray, silver and black, or what?

Shes goin to need more pay to keep up with the house her girlish charm qualifies her for. Ive always contended, though that what we woikin gals needed was a more charming background to bring out our daylight graces.
