DISCOURAGED.

Dwlly.

?_<._-- B

Answer=

I think your wife is a rotten poor sport not to be willing to divide as

generously \vith you in your hour of need as you did with her in your

day of prosperity-

When you had money you lavlshed it on her and delighted in giving

lu and leasure you could possibly afford and the least she

her every xury p should do now is to make you as free of her pockctbook as she was of

ours I don’t wonder that you are hurt and disappointed when you find

y . her a little tightwad who begrudges you even the bread you eat when she

has to pay for it. -

Whether women are fundamentally stingier than men arc or not I

rl alwn s

don't know, but my observation has been that wives are nca y y less generous to their husbands than their husbands arc to them.

V' When a rich man marries a poor girl, for instance, he pours out money

and the things money buys on her with both hands. He gives her fine houscs. He decks her out in jewels and expensive clothes. He gratiflcs , licr every whim and taste and she, figuratively speaking, has dollars to ` throw to the birds. But when a rich woman marries a poor man she is nearly always very parsimonious to him. She lets him eat at her table and ride in her cars and she provides him with suitable clothes in which _ to do her credit as her playboy, but she often does even this with s. be- 3 grudging hand and seldom gives him as much money for his own as he ‘

could earn as a gigolo.

Perhaps all of this is the age-old tradition that man should be the

breadwinner and the purchaser and the dispenser of favors, and perhaps i women haven't been money-makers long enough to bc able to rea'lze that ‘ marriage is u partnership, financially as well as seiitimcntally, and that is _ why they still cling to the old feminine theory that what is my husbands ' is mine and what is mlrie is my own.

,______-

The hard times we have been going through have brought about

many strange conditions that have upset old relationships. One of these i is the reversal in the family in many cases of the role of brcadwinner. I Women have frequently been able to get jobs where men could not, and the result has not always been one that strengthened family ties.

For in many cases it has shown the wifc in hcr true colors as a gold-

digger, a grafter who only cared for what her husband could give her, not for him, and who had no use or affection for him when he was down

and out.

But, happily, such wives have been in the minority, Most women

have met the crisis with rare courage and fortitude. They have sym- pathizcd with their husbands and have dohc their best to buck them up and keep them from losing heart, and they have been thankful that they

can in some way repay their husbands' generosity to them.

DOROTHY DIX.

l l I O C l

Dear Miss Dix-My mother has an illness complex. Ever since I can

remember she has been riulning io doctors. She has never done any work. She always complained about how badly she felt and when we were child- ren we would come home from school and do all of the housework. Lately we have discovered that there is nothing the matter with her. Her in- validism is all fake. She enjoys poor health, but it drives her wild to tell hor so and she weeps and says her children don't appreciate her and will be sorry when she dies. It all got on my nercvs. I decided that I woulcln't be a further slave to my mother's imaginary ailments and mov-

I e her every evening and it is the same old story of

I do right in leaving her or didnt I? C. B.

Answer:

I think you did exactly right. There is no reason on earth why your

life should be sacrificed to helping along your mothers litt'c game, and I think that if all of hcr children would withdraw their support and put her in the public ward of a hospital for a. week that they would cilcct a per-

` There is nothing in the world more pitiful than the husbands and children who spend their lives tolling to pay the doctors' bills and the nurses' bilis and the sanatorium bills of women who hzivc nothing on earth the matter with them but chronic cases of laziness and selfishness.

` There are thousands of such women who take to their beds to escape work. They don‘t want to cook and sew and baby-tcnd and take care of their husbands and children and so they dcvclop mysterious ailments that excuse them from doing their duty in lifc. They ure alwayr. bcmoaiiing their poor hearts or their wretched nerves or their weak lungs or their bad digcstions and everybody has to walk on tlptoes around the house. And they always have to have the most comfortable room and dalnties to r-at and lovely negligccs and the family have to do without the things they want and need to pamper them and throw in tons of sympathy to boot.

lt is o great graft and thousands of women work this racket for ull
