DEAR b11155 DIX-I sm a. woman of Z! with a husband and two children. all of whom I love dearly. Mv problem is this: I wasa working girl before my msn-lage and my fingers just ache to get. back 0n n key board. I mean I want tc do some work outside of my home. but my hus- band will not agree o: it. l-le says I should be satisfied to keep house and take care of my children. Hut I'm not.

So many mothers are working l owadays in defense plants and what not. and the government is calling for more women. I don't feel that I would be neglecting m chilldren if 1 took a, job, m; we uye 1n acwwd. ed district an tney wou d be well taken care of in a nursery school. Don't. you think my husband should consent to let me Sake gulch? m

PF‘! MUTE . > MOTHER'S FIRST DUTY T0 CHILDREN‘

M‘ swERml mink your husband is right in contending that your job is in the home and in taking care of the two little children whom you have brought into the world. That is the most imports/rim work that you can perform. Modern inventive genius has devised s. lot of useful house- hoéghgndgcts. bu: it has never mudc anything that was a substitute for s. m er.

When you say that your children would be as well taken care of in a nursery school as they would be by you. you either rate mil-self as a very poor mother or else you sire try to druz your conscience bv mak- ing yourself believe what you want to believe. And that is no reflection on the nursery school or of ‘rf-ie child centers that are being estab-

hd for jhe CIIIIOTEII of wor m; mothers. ‘ It is lust that it is one of the inexorable laws of nature that children can't be taken care of en massc as well as they can individually, and that no other person on earth can have the patience. the love, the in- tuition that a mother has. sndthat makes even the most stupid mother give to her child something that the most scientifically trained child-

specialist cannot give."

So from ever / ethical stand ‘int you should stay at home and do the job you wished on yourself-m lflll,‘ a home for your husband and child- ren and watching over your little ones. no matter how much you lon t0 be out rlrvheée there is excitement and noise and something new dgiflfl every m nu .

Your husband has all the argument on his side. but it is follv to r reason with a wmnan who has ihe workin mutside-of-yoin-home-bee in

her bonnet. The onlything to do is to let er go and try it and net the career ides. off of her chest. .

DEAR DOROTHY DIX-Three weeks ago I became the wife 0f a-h tuidertaker. We live at his Funeral Home. ‘That's where the trouble ' begins. He wll‘. swipe my cosmetics and my best clothes to use for his corpses. Then ‘he wul stand around and brag to me about how nice he makes them look. It is getting on mymeiwes and I can't stand it.

love this man very much. but I elieve he thinks more of his dead than he does of me. I don't believe I can stand another wflek of it. Please put yourself in my shoes and tell me what vou would do.

AN UNDERTAKEWS WIFE.

ANSWER-Well, if I were in your shoes. I would scram from such a morbid atmosphere so fast everyone would think I had on the seven- league boots. But maybe it is because I have not a morticlan bent. Corpses and funerals have no attraction for me. though I realize that I must one day ploy a star role in one. -

Evidently your husband is one of the men who is wedded to his pro- fession and who puts his whole soul into it. But it is tmlucky for you that h- also puts your cosmetics and clothes into it. ilifhile you might be willing to donate your rogue to beautifyinn the conoses. he 1100s i410 far when he CITOSSB‘! them up in your best frocks. No wife could be expected to stand that.
