Ought a Husband to Help His Wife With the Children on Sundays ?—Wh|( a Modern Boy of 17 Ia 01d Enough to Take a Girl To the Thearfe-Is the Man who Refuses to Support His Relatives a Miser I’

Dear Miss Dix-Don't you think a ‘ ’ should take his chars of responsibility in rearing children? Men seem to have the idea that if they support their familiq that is their share, but I think a man should help with the children when he ls at home, for the mother has the care of them all day. When mother wants to go anywhere she has to arise early in the morning and make preparations, while husband sleeps or reads. She must get breakfast, put up lunches, dross the chil- dren. and when she finally has everything ready she is too tired to go, whereas if he would help get the breakfast and dress the children mother would be able fc enjoy her outing. MARY mu,

Answer I

Well, Mary Ann, I think if a man supports his family he just about has done his share of the work. . Bringing homo the bacon-is his paririn the domestic Plrlmorshlp- ' Frying it and feodinx it to the 11mg Joneses or the little Smiths or the little Brownses is the wife's job.

Undoubtedly, having to rear a family of children is a. hard wk, 1g 15 no fun to cook and scrub and babytcnd. it is no lightsome occupation t0 be forever washing dirty little faces and wiping little noses and darning little little hands- It ls dull, tiresome, mon- out. and gets on any woman's nerves,

and it is natural that she would like to shunt part of her load on her hus.

band's shoulders.

But did it ever occur to you, Mary Ann, that your hirsband also ha; n hard job. and that his work is dull and monotonous and gets on m, ngweg just as your work gets on yours? He doesn't enjoy getting up at the tocsln of the alarm clock every morning and going down to his grind at the office

Fr factory. or store any more than you enjoy getting up and getting break- as .

He does the same work over and over just as you do. l-Ie sells cabbages or counts out money in a Imnk or examines patients and hours the tales of woe of sick people, day in. day out and there is no more thrill in it than there is in making a. pie or peeling potatoes. It is just work that is done patiently and faithfully io feed you and the kids, and keeps shoes on your feet and n roof over your head. 1t is just work to make the family comfortable. m; your cooking and cleaning makes the family comfortable.

And one advantage that your work has over his is that you do not have train all day to please a grouchy boss or cranky customers or clients, and you don't halve to stand for being bawled out when things go wrong, whether it is y fur fault or not. Nor do you have the anxiety for the future that wears your husband down. You don't have to worry about lasing your job or lie awake at night wondering where the money is coming from to pay that note in the bank.

So don't you think, Mary Ann, that the man who makes the living for c, family gives a pretty good account of his share of the labor of maintaining one, and that when he comes home, tired to the bone and nerve-wracked he should not be expected to do his wife's work in addition to his own? Don't you think he might be permitted to sit down and rest and relax instead of having to wash and dross the children or push the perambulator or get din- ner? Don't you think that inasmuch as he doesn't ask his wife to help him do his work, she should be fair enough not to expect him to help with hers?

.._.___..

Of com-so, if the wife is lick, that's another story. Then the husband should help all he can with tho housework, but any able-bodied, husky wom- an should shoulder her own burdens and not dump them on her husband.

._.,____

And just in a business way it pays a wife to coddle her husband. she sends him back rested and refreshed to his work, able to put more punch into his job. The man who has been up half the night walking to baby is no match in a trade with a man who has had an unbroken sleep. Think it over, Mary Ann, and see if you don't think I'm right. DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Miss Dix-As a mother of an only son, a boy nearly 17, I want to be s. real friend and not an unreasonable, ltcrn parent. He is in his third year in high school and I have no objection whatever to his going to social dances and parties in connection with the activities of the school, but he told ,me recently that he was thinking of taking a. girl to see a downtown play. Somehow it does not seem right to me allow a. boy of his ago to com- mence taking girls out. He is an honor student in school, and a wonderful boy, and I want to advise and encourage him in the right way, so what shall I do? MRS. E. P.

Answer: - '

If he is going to a decent show and taking a nice girl, what is there to object to in it? Seventeen seems young for a boy to begin stepping out a little, but remember that the children of this ago have been reared in a. forc- ing hous, and that they mature early. A boy of today of 17 is as old as a boy of 21 was in your day. ,

The schools, the movies, the books and magazines that they read have taught them more about life than we know when we were grown men and women. It has given them a sophistication that is often appalling, but that does act as a. protection to them. Even children nowadays are far more hardboiled than their elders.

All of this makes it n y for parents to change their scale of values and deal with their children on a. very diffircnt platform from that on which their parents dealt with thorn. It makes it neoeaary for parents to begin treating their children as grown-ups, for one thing, at a much earlier age than they formerly did. It makes it necessary for parents to recognise the new freedom of the young instead of trying tn keep them in leading strings as the older generation were.

And it makes it necessary for parents to recognize that their children belong to their own agmand that they are going to do what the other chil- dren do, openly and frankly if their parents will permit it, secretly and with lying if their parents forbid it. And it makes it necessary for parents to rea- li that children scoff now at parental authority, and that the only way in which fathers and mothers can keep a hold on their boys and girls to by keeping in afcp with them, and the only way in which they can control them gbyukingthingooiarwithtfiemaamantomanand womsntowmnan. and in that way forming their oplnionl.
