Old Maid . A

Niece Days Woman May Be Spinsler By 'Ov'm Choice

JDEAR MISS Dix: ls it a disgrace to be an oidrrnaldl Can an old maid be as great a woman and as much admked as her married sister?

I , Estelle. ' had fished out of the hair-trunk in the attic. I didn't suppose that any-

body nowadays even dreamed of its casting any reflection upon a wo-

. i W”" man's character or even won her attractiveness for her not to marry. i

In former times. when marriage was about the only gainful occupation open to women and when every woman's livelihood and podtion in society ' " , d ” upon her ” ” every girl married who could. Hence. for a woman to be an old maid led to the natural supposition that she was in some way inferior to her sisters, or else vhe would not have been passed over. .

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

But, thank goodness times have changed for women. They do not :have to marry now for a. meal ticket. They can go out and earn their own bread and butter and cake. They don't have to have a husband to protect them. They can take care of tlhunsclves. They don": naive to . guests in the houses of their relat- ives. They can set up their own homes.

And so now whether a woman marries or stays single is a matter - of her own personal choice and taste, and nobody thinks that it is any more disgraceful for a woman to be an old maid than it is for a man to be an old bachelor. No women are more admired or sought after socially than the smartly dressed, intelligent, ulp-to-date, humorous and philosophical spvinsters who would be highly amused ..It iihe idea of anyone looking askancc at them because they did not wear a wedding

As to your second question, as to whether an old maid can be as great a woman and as much respected as her married sister. Oif 43011116 she can, and is. The list of old maids who have achieved fame in liter- ature and the arts and who have headed causes is endless? Florence - Nightingale, Clara Barton. Susan B. Anthony, Frances Willard are only a. few of the old maids who have performed great mrvices to iihe world. There are iihousands of others who have given their lives to mothering humanity instead of their own ch-iidrcn.'

ANSWER: Keep silent and keep your hands out of the mess. No good yet bu ever been accomplished by meddling in an illicit love af- fair. There is nothing you can say to a married man and a married woman who are indulging in a liaison that ohey do not already know. i

And do not be cruel enough to tell the wife about her husband's un-favl.i'hfu'lness. There is nothing she can do to make him loyal and stop him from roaming. And if she knows leave her her peace and happiness as long as you can. She will have - long enough to endure her heartbreak. -

And if. as I strongly suspect. the already knows and her pretense of ignorance is just a bluff to save her face. pay her courage and her gallantry the tribute of respecting it. There are no women braver or more to be admired than those wives who suiifer the humiliation they cndaure from unfaithful husbands in secret, and who keep up the fiction ' of being happy and contented wives in order to keep their homes to- gether and to keep their dlildrren from knowing or the kind of man g

DEAR MISS DIX: The other day I told my mother I would like to do something great in the world and have a career. She said the best career 9. girl could have would to bye a wonderful wife and the mother of fine sons who wou'ld.do something great. Which career shall -

ANSWER: You can't choose to have a great career. That is as Fate wills and depends on the gifts God gave you. Neither can you decide that you will be the mother of geniuses. That is also luck. But, gener- . ally speaking, I ilhin-k women are happiest who follow woman's pre- destined career of wifehood and motherhood.
