Penny-Pinching Wife Who Can’t Learn to Enjoy Prosperity-Is a Girl 0f 19 Old Enough to Care for Her Infant Sister?

Discarded Wife

Dear Miss Dix-My wife and I were married when we were young and poor. We both worked very hard and saved, looking forward to the time when we would have plenty. That time has arrived. I am wealthy and

_ ready to enjoy life. I want to travel, to entertain, to belong to a nice social group, but my wife refuses. She has grown economical to the point of stinginess and is not willing to spend a penny that can do avoided. I had even to buy a home secretly without telling her until all the jaapers were signed, because she would never have agreed to an expensive house. Now we have the lovely home but my wife will never go out with me because she is busy with the house and the children, although I hcg her to hire servants. I give her more money than she knows what to do with. but she banks it all. Is there any possible way r 1o make her spend enough money on servants and clothes su that she will enjoy llfc and entertain and have friends?

JACK.

Perhaps if you will make your wife understand that you are going to get some good out of your money by traveling and entertaining and you tell her that she must either keep up with you or be left behind, she will loosen her grip on her pocketbook. Possibly she may love you more than she does money. but I doubt it. for the passion of the miser for his horde trans- cends all human affections.

I know of a case in which a father worth millions let his only son die for want of the medical attention that would in all probability have saved him and who let his only daughter, who was married to a ﬁne but poor man, literally perish for wnnt of the ordinary comforts of life.

Women run to extremes, and when they are stingy they are incredibly tlghtﬂsted. They get a mania for saving and pinch every nickel until the buﬂalo howls in agony. The highest joy that existence offers them is the entry in their bankbonk and to see this get bigger and bigger they are will- ing to sacriﬁce themselves and their families.

Evidently your wife belongs to this group of feminine tightwads, and the hope of ever changing her is slight, because spending has become a pain to her. She cannot endure to part with a dollar. You will never be able to make her realize that preserving intact the bond between husband and wife is more important than buying another Government bond nor that giv- ing her children the right sort of environment and social contacts will be worth more to them than any inheritance she can leave them nor that pre- ferred friends are better than preferred stocks. She is like a dead woman with her eyelids weighted down by dollars.

It is one of life's little ironies that we can turn good into evil if we overdo it and that often our virtues develop into vices, andthis is never more vividly illustrated than when we let thrift grow into miserliness. » This is the easiest thing in the world to do.

It is obviously the duty of us all to live well within our incomes and to lay up something for the rainy day and the old age that are bound to come to us all if we live. In order to do this it is often necessary for us to drny ;oixrselves many pleasures and luxuries and indulgenccs that we crave. But we should not push this too far, Doing without things gets to be a habit just as spending does. We can do without the things we want until we atrophy our desires and we come to the place where we no longer want any- thing. -

So there should be moderation in saving even as in spending. It is folly to put oil‘ all enjoyment until some distant future because we may never reach it at all. Nothing is truer than the old proverb about getting nuts to eat after we have no teeth to crack them. Of what use to sit down to a feast when you have neither appetite nor digestion for it and the only foodthat agrees with you is crackers and milk? Of what avail to buy l. ticket around the world when your poor old rheumatic bones cry out for the home radiator and you are miserable away from your familiar sur- roundings?

It is just as much a duty for the rich to spend as it is for the poor to save. and no money ts better invested than that which is spent on making a beautiful and comfortable home, in giving children advantages. in the broadening of view that travel gives, in hospitality, in giving to those less fortunate than oneself and in generally making life soft and gracious.

Avarice is a vice that grows on one as insldiously as the dope habit. ‘ft is n vice to which age is particularly addicted, and it is well for prosperous men and women who have acquired the saving habit in their youth not to let it grow upon them and turn them into mere money-grabbers.

Dear Dorothy Dix—I am a girl just 19. I have-a sister of 7 and a bro- ther of 4. A few weeks ago my mother died, leaving a. nevr-born baby girl. I want. to keep the baby and raise it. but my father thinks I am too young and that it would be best to board it out for at least two years. If I were married and had a baby of my own I would have to rear it and I would be thought old enough to do it. Do you think I am too young to mother my mntherlcss sisters and brothers? My father makes good money and says he will not marry again. We have agreed to abide by your decision in this matter. IIELEN.

Answer:

I think you are a very fine and unselﬁsh girl, Helen, to desire to bur- den yourself at your age with your baby sister. It is a lot of care and worry and calls for a lot of work and self-sacrifice to rear a baby, and you will have to give up many of the good times that belong to your time of life to walk the colic and tell bedtime stories and run after restless little feet. But it’ you are willing to make the sacriﬁce there is no reason why you should not do it and make the best possible substitute to the baby for the mother she has lost.

As you say, if the baby were your own nobody would question your abil-

ity to take proper care of her. There are plenty of 19-year-old mothers whose youngsters take prizes in better-baby shows. Indeed, the modern young mothers’ babies are generally more scientiﬁcally reared than those of the nlder mothers because the young mothers pin their faith to some baby doctor's book as if it were the Bible and go by it. And you will be able to give your baby sister something that not the highest-priced baby specialist can give it. That is love and, queerly enough. it seems that babies cannot live without love. 'I‘hey.have to be potted and kissed and corldled into taking hold of life, and that is why they often live and thrive in dirt and squalor if they have some woman to cuddle them and hold them warm on her breast while they die like ﬂies inthl moat sterilized and antlrcptlc and scientiﬁcally run nsyiuma
