.Wives Can Make Or Break Their Husbands By The Way They Talk About Them To Other People. Be A Booster And Watch Him Go Up The Ladder Of Success

near Miss Dix—Won't you lease say lofllelhlflg through your column to the wives who are continua y oelitt lng theor husbands? so many foolish women do that without seeming to realize that they c take no surer way of killing their husbands’ love for them and of ma 5: their husbands the failures they reproach them with ' being. I have Lwo examples of the effect of 9. _' \v‘ rd her husband in my own TM!!- ily. My diiutzliiui lli1ll'l'iE:d very young, 3. boy about her ovtn age who win; in-a.kiii.g 512 Ll week. She had many hB.l‘d5iLl})s to undergo, but never once has any one ever heard her complain or speak of her hus- band ui any but the most complimentary manner. She was always praising him, always boos him, and the result is that he has gone uD the adder by leaps and bounds. My son married ii. woman who took exactly the oppoutc way with her husband. she has llt;VCl' doiie iiiiyihlnz but whine and my uiid bemoan the liardsliips of her lot. and ro- claim from the housetops that he has no ess faculty and can‘; make money like other men. The result is that he is discouraged and brokenheartied and is slncki down. Yet to start with, he had much more ability and a better rhtiiit: than my daughters husbtinti. Bill one wile made her hus- band and the other one ruined hers. A ’l ROUBLEL) MOTHER.

"wet":

Amlf women had one liundredth part of the intelligence that th think they have, a wife would bite her tongue off before she said one in disparageineiit of her husband to even her own mother. Yet. so far from keeping silent about their husbands‘ faults and foibles, weaknesses and shortcoininga. thsv are the favorite topics of conversation where two or three women are gathered togmlici-,

They seem to have no conception llitll in thus blithely dragging out their family skeleton and putting it. through its paces that they are not only committing an act of gross disloyalty, but, also doing themselves. as well as their husbands and their cliildrcii, an irreparable wrong. r to 3 larger (Ktent than they (ll‘£'a.Ill oi, woincn write their husbands’ price- tags anti we take a man pretty iiiiich at his wilL"s viiluation, Nor is this unreasonable. We iiatiuully (;Ull(lllti(: that the woman who is married to a man and who kiiows him as iicbcdv else (:£1il,_ has a better line on him than we can posubly get. So Wllell Mrs. Smith tells us . what a wonderful busiric.~‘.s iiuiii or (l0(‘LOI' or dentist or whatnot. her husband is, we believe her. And we also believe her when she tells us that her hus- band is’ lackuig iii uidu.s'.i'y and energy and has no initiative or judg- ment.

Ccrtaliily it tvotild secin‘ili.it such being the case, the stupidest woman ul.\‘«.- uuulci kiiizw it would be to her advantage to tiy to sell her husband to the gt-tic-ral 1)U.l.)llC; that it was suicidal to run down her own wares. But. she doesn't. It is a. common thing to hear a wife oom- plaining that she can't. have 0. new automobile because her husband doesn't have the faculty for making money that some men have. Or she is lamenting that her liusbuiid is an old stick-in-the-mud that she can never get to try D. new thing. Or that the only thing he really thinks about is his golf. Or that he has such 0. terrible disposition that no- bsdy can get along vtiih him. Then she wonders why he doesn’t. suc- ceed. It never crosses her mind that she has killed his chances by mak- ing people believe that lie is lazy and incompetent and disagreeable.

It is equally fatal for a wife to kill the husband's belief in himself. He can only do as much as he thinks he can do, and when his wife slays his self-confidence lie is done for. It is often said that there is ll. woman behind the door of every man's success, and that wcman 15 an jnflatlon. ist who keeps him believing that he can do wliatever he sets his mind to do and that she is backing him to win out every time.

A man can't fail if he has a wife behind him who believes in him. No matter how many bumps he gets, he always comes back. But. the wife who belittles. her littsbaiid and makes him believe that there is nothing in him is licked before he start.s‘to light. ‘ . .

Dear Dorothy D'ix—I am 28 years old. a self-supporting divorcee with a scn ‘l years old. Do you thlnk I should be denied the right of having my own home again Just for the sake of conventions? My father and mother have violent. opinions about girls who live alone and no aniouzit of eflort on my part. can induce them to see the reason I want my own home. one reason is that I want a home for my boy. He has n morbid becnu e his father left. us. and 1 know that there are some things give L.,ini in these cozy evenings together that he won't get. at ‘is. Then l)O'.V will I ever have an ODliort.iinity of catching an- baiid if i iiever have any place to receive it. caller? My parent's house is very crowded. They go to bed at 8 o'clock and their bedroom

Answer:

You certainly make out a grand ca:e for yourself, and there is no doubt that you would be much happier and more comfortable in 9. little home of your own than you are living ‘in your parents’ sardine tin,

Likewise. you are quite correct in saying that before you can catch a husband you have to have the proper ciivironment. You wouldn't ex- pect to land ll. fish on it saiitlv field ll‘lll(‘S from H. stream. Neither can you expect. a man to come ii-’.‘(nUf".lll£! WllCl‘C there is no comfortable, cozy place with rt prcpcr l:itck.r:rot_in(i in which to do it. So if you ever do ex. put to marry again, you will have to set up your own little apartment. But—-and there is always a but you know in everything-—you musm-3, (or. get that divorced women have to walk twice as dlrcreetly as those who have never been married. They are a .«hiiiln;z mark for all the scandal. mongers. However, for all of that, I (lnnt. see why you should be tied to your mollicrs apron strings the I‘('ITl£lllld€!‘ of your life and have to listen to your uncle's snores. But think well and long and carefully before you give your little boy a stepfather. If you mart a man who is Jealous of your little boy and unkind to him. then you will know what. real trouble is for sure. DOROTHY DIX.
