She Pays His Bills Now -So
Why Should He Marry Her?
By DOROTHY DIX
DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I'm a 32-year-old divorcee with a four-year-old
daughter. I have a home of my own and some money. For
the past six months 1 have been going with a divorced man whom I
love dearly. He has a lot of bills, and has asked me for money. On
several occasions 1 have obliged. He says he loves me but makes no
attempt to take me out. He always has some excuse for this, and also
for not taking me to meet his family. We have set a wedding date,
but 1 m wondering what he s interested in me or
my money. Do you think he might change his
mind about marriage? R.K.
DEAR R.R.: The hand that signs the checks
is not likely to wear a wedding band. Why should
it? If the gent can have his bills paid without as
much as risking a date, why should he jepardizc
his freedom and incur lifetime obligations for the
same effect? Your bank account is his for the
asking, and what else might you have to offer as
a special inducement? Mark "No more funds"
across your check book, and you'll soon find out
whether you or money is the attraction.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Shortly after I left a drunken husband, 12
years ago, I went to work for an undertaker. We soon felt in love.
He continually talked of divorcing his wife to marry me, but of
course, he never did. Now he says I can't keep my job any longer as
his wife objects. He refuses to help me at all. What can I do with
him? Althea
DEAR ALTHEA: Here's hoping he keeps better faith with the
dead than with the living. It a man can't be faithful and true to his
wife, whom has promised to honor, what can you expect? Salvaging
your self-respect is worth something, and it's all you'll have.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX: For a long time I have been friendly with
a girl ten years older than myself. She is a good neighbor in many
ways, kind, and has many fine points. However, she is also very
domineering and simply cannot stand people differing with her. If I
voice an opinion that she doesn't share, I hear, "Oh, you're crazy!"
or, "There's no sense arguing with you: you're too dumb!" Much as
I like her good points, I can't take any more of her insults. I'm not
the type to fight back, cither. I'm not timid, just peace-loving.
Josephine
DEAR JOSEPHINE: A chip on the shoulder is a sign of wood
higher up! And a person who refuses to acknowledge another's right to
have an opinion is as thick as a whole forest. The best intellects in
the world have always been argumentative, questioning, eager for
debate. You'd never And a Socrates, Lincoln or Einstein turning a
deaf ear to new ideas. Great men always listeen to what other people
think, even if they don't agree with them. Try these arguments on
your friend, if she'll listen!
DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Before I shipped out for service overseas,
my.girl friend promised to be faithful. When I returned, I found her
pregnant. She blames a moment of passion, and says she loves only
me. She wants me to marry her immediately. I love her, and can for
give her, but doubt if I could accept another man's child as my
own. Ferris
DEAR FERRIS: Don't do it. You've been selected to be the prize
fall guy. Let the other fellow take on his own responsibilities.
Send your problem to Dorothy Dix. Or write for her free leaflet
D-18, "The Way to A Boy's Heart". In all cases, be sure to enclose a
stamped, self-addressed envelope, and send request to her care of
this newspaper.
Almost every factory manager
in the Northeast prefaces his ex
planations with the approved
phrase: "Thanks to the selfless
generosity of the Soviet Union. . ."
But as a slight illustration of
the Chinese determination to fol
low their own path, the qualifying
words are added: "And under the
correct leadership of Chairman
Mao and the Communist party. . "
The hotels, or "guest houses,"
in all the industrial centers arc
packed with Russian engineers
and technologists. They are su
pervising factory construction or
installation of machinery, or in
structing Chinese workers.
I
In many plants the Soviet in
struction has been completed and
the Russians have moved out.
Many of China's top technicians
have been trained in schools in
Russia.
Peiping maintains an advisory
board of Russian technology ex
perts as trouble-shooters and in
spectors for the Northeastern fac
tories.
In south central China, where
the first bridge across the Yang
tze River is being built at Wuhan,
20 top Soviet engineers are super
vising the project, which was de
signed in Russia. A third of the
steel for the 25-million-dollar
bridge is being imported from
Russia.
The Russians, In their sloppy
bellbottom pants, deadpan expres
sions and carrying bulging brief
cases, can be seen on the streets
of any city here, either walking
with their families or speeding
past in black limousines with the
window curtains drawn.
This advisery invasion has
brought embarrassing and uncom
fortable results for other foreign
visitors to China.
In railway stations, schools or
even on the street, the foreigner
is often jolted by groups of passers-by
who form a ring and burst
into applause. No matter what the
visitor s nationality, he is inevi
tably taken to be a Russian, and
the hand claps follow him where
ever he goes.
But Ivan himself moves almost
furtively. In factory towns and
major cities, the permanent Rus
sian resident lives in his own
quarters, separate from the Chf
nese There is no Sino-Soviet so
cial life at all except at an offi
cial level.
The Russian sees only the eager
Chinese who gather around his
machine to learn technique, and
he is constantly accompanied by
one or more interpreters. Aside
from them he has few or no
Chinese acquaintances. He has
strict traveling papers. When his
job Is done and the technique
passed on he leaves.
In Peiping, the semipermanent
Soviet residents are assigned to
separate hotels from other for
eigners or the casucl Russian
visitors.
School textbooks are Russian
slanted, and students from 7 years
old on get a thorough grounding
in Russian revolutionary history.
Tomorrow A visit to a primary
school.
