i An Inspiring Example of the Higher Type of Wom- anhood-should the Woman Who Resents Her Husband's Son Attempt to Bring Him Up

Dear Miss Dix-I am a woman 31 years old. I have been married ni- toen years and have twelve children. Twin sons l4, twin daughters I2, a boy of 11, twin sons 9, triplet daughters 7, s. girl 5 and one 4—nve boys and seven girls. When I was married my father gave me a nice. well-furnislied home in my own name. but for years on end my husband grumbled and grouch- ed becauss I wouldn't work outside of the home. He never considered that I worked, although I cooked,‘

(ept house, nursed. sewed, raised a garden and chick- ens milkedtwo cows, to say nothing of bearing and rearing twelve children and seeing to their needs.

My husband himself has never made any more than a poor pitiful little salary that barely fed us after he had bought his own clothes, his whisky and tobacco. '

Well, I got tired of being so poor and one Monday morning four years ago I took my S-rnonths-old baby and the other little ones under school age and left them with s. kind old neighbor who loves children and agreed to care for them. I got a job behind a counter for $15 a week, and. as I de- veloped s real talent for selling things, my salary is now four times what my husband makes. '

Besides that I carry on my former work at home with the help of the children, whom I have drilled into most efficient assistants. I have taught them to cook, sew and clean, so the house is as well kept as ever and my money buys clothes, good times and luxuries for them. Besides. I {eel that my work is good for me. It gives me new interest in life and it gives my children responsibility. A few hours‘ separation of mother and W516i 9M1‘! dfly 1S 800d for us all and how glad we are to get together at night!

Now, here is my trouble. Now that. I am working my husband is furious with m-s because I won't give him the money that I earn. alid because I have succeeded betetr than he has. I-le insists on my giving up my job and taking the boys out of school and putting them to work, He says parents do not owe their childrfen anything after they are l2 years old. I think that parents owe their children the very best education that they can give them. My 14-year-old boys are so clever that they will graduate from high school in two years. They lead their classes and I mean to keep them in high school until they finish.

Of course we are poor, dog poor. It is no joke to feed. clothe, rear and educate twelve children. but to take a little boy and put him to work at 14 when you could give him an education is criminal.

5o am I not right to hold on to my good job and rear and train and educate my children and make good men and women out. of them? I am young, healthy and strong and I can work for them and we do have such adorable years together. I feel that I am right, yet I was raised old- filshioned to “mlnd" my husband. I was only a silly young‘ idiot when I married, but Ir have to be wise now for myself and twelve others.
