“ . l: Eitiful Children-Who Are Victims of Parents 4 Divorced and Remarried -- Shall This Girl . Marry a Son of Rest?-- Single and ' Glad of it

Dear Miss Dix—I am one of those unfortunates-a child of divorced parents. I have a mother and a near-mother, a father and a near-father. I have two homes, between which I am thrown back and forth like a shut-

tlecock. and with all of which I feel that I have no real home and no real parents. I don't seem to be- long anywhere or to have anybody who belongs tome.

Mias Dix. we children didn't ask to be brollBht into the world, and when we are born I think our par-

ents owe it to us to stick together and make us a home until we are grown. And I think they are darn poor

sports when they don't do it, don't you? GERALDINE.

I

Answer: ’

1 certainly do, Geraldine. I think that when men , _ _ and women thrust life upon a poor, little. helpless baby tic} rc in honor bound to see it through and do the best the)’ W“ t° .'

give it thc right start in the world.

1 don't think that they have any right to consider their own happiness or their own pleasure or their own inclination. It is the child's good that should ‘be oi paramount importance to them and because marriage isn't iust the picnic they thought it was going to be or because the man doesn't tome up to all the woman's romantic dreams or the man gets tired of the roman doesn't give them any right to break up a home and half-orphan poor, helpless. defenseless little kiddies. Every child has an inalienable right to be brought up in a quiet, peaceful home. Every child has a right to a whole father and a whole mother, and to regular, genuine, blown-in- the-brittle parents, instead of synthetic parents that it acquires by second marriages. And the men and women who deprive their children of real honivs commit an unforglvable sin against them.

In cvury household where there are quarreling parents, in every case of divorced parents. the children are the victims. Psychiatrists tell us now that the reason why many men and women fall in life and many more have nervous laroalsdowns around middle life can be traced back to the fact that they were brought up in homes of discord in which the parents were perpet- ually wrangling.

One of our leading neurologists has made the statement that he has never known a man or woman who was reared in s happy. cheerful home to have a nervous collapse. That fact alone should be enough to make high- tempcrccl, selfish, irritable men and women control themselves just to keep their children from having to pay the price of their fighting.

And what happiness can children have in homes where there is a step- father or a stepmother, when they know that there is a real father and a real mother somewhere else? And what home influence can bind a child who spends part of the time with one set of parents and part with another set of parents? And how is a child to feel any reverence for a father, or mother on whom it sits in perpetual judgment?

No wonder the children of the divorced cry out against the injustice that has been done them. as Geraldine does. or that they have become hard and cynical little woridlings who believe in neither God nor man.

Door Miss Dix—I am a woman 30 years old and for five years have been

keeping company with a man who says he loves me very much. He is 40

years old. He hasn't any money and only works part of the time. but he wants me to marry him. Would you do it? L. E. ' Answer:

I certainly wouldn't. Any able-bodied man who has reached the age of 40 ivithout settling down to some steady Job isn't worth the powder and lead that it would take to kill him and any woman is an idiot who marries him.

such a man is a born loafer and idler. He is lazy to the bone and nothing in the world is ever going to make him work. His habits are form- ed and he is going to sit on the do-nothing stool the balance of his life.

And to a hustling, thrifty, up-and-coming woman, no other fault on earth is so hard for her to endure as Just shlftlessness. Nothing else fills She could forgive him for oping on energetic burglar easier than she can for just slumping down and fining nothing.

Many women make the mistake of thinking that they can inspire a lazy man to work and that their sacred influence will put vim and energy into him. They believe that as soon as a man realizes that he has s. wife and children to support he will get busy doing it. Fatal error.

lilarriilge works no miracle in a man and when a lazy man gets mar- ried he just simply folds his hands and lets his wife do it. It may shame him for her to take in washing or boarders to support him, but ‘he would rather be mortified than work.

Believe me, my friend, marriage with such s. man will bring you noth- ing but misery. If a man of 40 isn't making a good living, he never will. He has qualified as a charter member of the Sons of Rest and no mere wife can galvanize him into action. DORCYII-IY DIX.

Dear Miss Dix-Isn't it strange why girls worry about not finding hus- bands? When I look around and see the husbands whose favorite indoor sport is arguing, and the husbands who think that wives are made to work like slaves and the husbands who doll themselves up and go out shelking while the wives stay at home with the babies and the husbands who are gentlemen everywhere exdbpt in their own homes. I am glad enough I haven't got one. SINGLE AND GLAD OF IT. Answer:

It is a good thing to know when you are well ofl’, sister, and there is no denying that the lot of the spinster who has a good job and her own latch- kcy and hcr individual pocketbook and nobody with a legal right to boss her or remind her of her faults, is full of peace and happiness, if she only has sense enough to appreciate it.

There arc. as you say, husbands who are slave-drivers, husbands who are grouches, husbands who are tightwads, husbands who marry in order to get somebody to pick on. but, thank God, these are not the only brands of husbands.

There are also husbands who are good and kind and generous; hus- bands who are patient and long-suffering and understanding and sympath- ctic;' husbands on whose tenderness a woman can throw herself as she could upon the mercy of Christ. And it is because every girl hopes to get a good husband instead of a bad husband that keeps the marriage bells Jing- llng and the divorce courts busy. -

For you never can tell until after you get him what sort of husband a

Happenings of the Week’

When the meetings called to order, And you look around the room, You're sure to see some faces

That from out the shadows loom They are always at the meeting, And they stay until it's through- The ones that I would mention,

AAre the always faithful few.

They fill the many offices, And are always on the spot No matter what the weather, Though it may be awful hot; It may be dark and rainy, But they are tried and true The ones that you rely on Are the always faithful few.‘

There are lots of worthy members, Who will come when in the mood. when everythingls convenient They can do a little good;

They're a factor in the meeting, And are necessary, too.

But the ones who never fail us, Are the always faithful few.

If it were not for these faithful Whose shoulders at the wheel

Keep the institution moving Without a halt or reel

What would be the fate of meetings When we claim so much to do 7 They surely would be failures
