10 XOoMen T^pJntene-tST^ " THE SORT OF MAN TO MARRY By DOROTHY 1)IX. A young woman writes me a let ter in which she says: "I am engaged to be married to a young man, who, I think, puts too much value on appearances. He goes to cheap places to dine and cooks his own breakfast In his room, but he patronises an expensive tailor. He denies himself the pleasure of smoking because he cannot afford fine cigars, and he will not be seen smok ing a cheap one. He only takes me to the theater once a month, because lie will not sit in any but the best seats. What do you think of this kind of a man? What sort of a hus band do you think he will make?" Judging from the tone of my cor respondent's letter, I imagine that she does not approve of the system upon which her sweetheart has elected to play the game of life. Yet it Is a shrewd and worldly wise one, and one that nine times out of ten is a winner. This young man is putting up a bluff at prosperity, and Fortune is a whimsical jade that smiles sweetest upon those who woo her boldest. One of the problems that every poor person who desire.s to get along in the world liaß to face is whether it Is better to be comfortable or smart *nd fashionable —whether, in other words, it is better to spend your money for a square meal or good clothes, whether It 1b better to live In a big warm room and wear hand- Jne-down or to abide in a hall bed room and adorn yourself in tailor mades. SO (iOES THE YARIKD WORM). Different men decide this question in different ways, and according to their decision is their fate in life. Somatomes the impecunious youth chooses the succulent beefsteak, and the savory mushroom, and the flow ing mug and the comfortable old clothes—and he remains to the end of his days in the class in which he began. If he is a carpenter, for instance he stays a mechanic, contented and IMpFLOWERS^ for Your «>#CHRISTMAS GIFTS AT " Send Them by Wire SCHMIDT 313 Market Street FLORIST and Pennsylvania R. R.

MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 21, 1914. happy in the station of life to which he has been called. If, however, he is the kind who is willing to go hungry in order that he may dress Uko a professional man, if he is will ing to do without the necessities in order to have the luxuries, he has that within him that will make him rise above his class just as surely as water seeks its, level. He may begin life as a carpenter, but he will end It as a big contractor. Of course the unambitious people who spend their money on good food and warm flannels instead of show and who are satisfied to go plodding along among neighbors who do Just as they do, have the best of dally comfort, and perhaps get most of happiness out of life, but they never progress. And they never arrive. It is the desire for something bet ter than you have, and the deter mination to have it, even if It Is only a better house and better clothes that forces people onward and up ward. Contentment is not pro gress although some people con sider It a sort of hypocrisy for a man to spend his money in putting up "a front" instead of making him self comfortable, but this is a nar row and mistaken view to take of the matter. The man has simply had the sagacity to realize that his ap petite is a private matter between himself and his stomach, but that his appearance Is a matter between himself and the public, and in de ferring to the public Instead of to his own inclinations he takes a long shot at winning out. VOl' MUST I/OOK THE PAKT. For their is no denying the truth of the old proverb that nothing suc seeds like success, and if you wish to be successful you must look the part. To appear poor and needy and shab by and down at the heels is its own hoodoo of bad luck. It makes every body suspicious of your ability to do things. Why, asks inexorable logic, should this man or woman look like a hu man rag bag unless he or she is ; either lazy or utterly Incompetent? Surely if this man was industrious ! and clever he could make enough money to dress well. Certainly if this | woman had any talents she would j receive sufficient pay to buy her some | good clothes. I We unconsciously gauge men's and 1 women's ability by the way they are • dressed, and if their clothes are smart and up to date we jump to the con | elusion that they are the sort of alert, 'wide awake people whose services are worth good money. If a shabby man and a well dressed man apply for the same job, it is invariably the better dressed one who gets It. i A woman with a thirty-dollar hat and a hundred-dollar tailor-made and her hair done in the latest style can sell a busy man, who never reads anything but the newspapers. "The Lives of the Presidents in 97 Vol umes," whereas the shabby sister in a last year's bird's nest cad never get in telephoning distance of his office I boy. I Considering the way the world is : built, the wisdom of pinching on your stomach to spread on your back, and of putting your last dollar in fine rai ment, is beyond argument. A new "Sartor Resartus" might be written on the moral effects of ruffled tunic and creased trousers. Restaurant waiters defer to them, office boys open doors to them, customers are polite to them, even employers re spect them. i Nor have we any right to complain because the world judges us by our I clothes. It Is all that Is on the out- I side, and all that people have to go jby in estimating us, and they show pretty well the sort of men and i women we are. As to what sort of a husband a man will make who will eat at a cheap restaurant in order to have good clothes, I do not know, But one thing: I do know, and that is that if I mar ried a man who had that much grit, self-denial and good hard horse sense I would prepare myself to raise in the world with him.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have been having two young men call on me for some lime, and do not think it proper to receive attentions Irom both. I like them both, but want to make up my mind as to which one I prefer. One has a much finer position than the other, and has a chance of advancing. That doesn't make any difference to me. I want to be sure 1 am taking the right one. They know about one another, as they have met. . UNDECIDED. Which one of these young men do you feel you need to complete and round out your life? Which one do you understand and approve of? Which one gives you the most vital I sympathy and understanding? Which one doy you feel that you cannot live | without? That one you must choose and no one outside of yourself can help you. WHICH IS RIGHT? DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: My friend is twenty, and one who last year went to a dance almost every week, each time accompanied by a different girl. This year he is a member of a club, where he re newed an old acquaintance with a girl, and has been taking her out for seven months. He says: "I've taken many a girl out in the last year or so, and I always figured they would be good wives. Now, I'm going with Eva, and after a study of her chara cter I hope she some day will become my wife. I like her because she's re spectable. sensible, and above all she respects her parents. I'll stick to her until I'm old enough to marry." My friend is a smart and sensible man and in business for himself, but I claim he should not keep company with the girl now, for he Is too young and in time he will grow sick of the girl. DUBIOUS. I do not beleive in olng engage ments. On the other hand, a friend ship such as you describe may be simply friendship for years to come and then ripen into the best and san est sort of love and marriage—one founded on companionship. I do not think there is any danger of this young man's growing "sick of the girl"—if he does tire of her com panionship—think how irksome the marriage bond would become. I should he glad to hear from my readers on this subject. IT WOULD BE PROPER. DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: May I have the benefit of your ad vice concerning the propriety of ac cepting furs as a Christmas gift from the man I am engaged to be married jto? ELS A S. I Theer is no harm in your accept ing furs from your fiance as a Christ mas gift. But do not accept other ] wearing apparel from hliu.
