DOROTHY DIX SAYS-

Heel of A ‘Husband

1' Mun Beats Wife, Repeats Aynd Then Cric He Lens Her

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: How can a wife tell when her husband loves her? I have been married ten years and all my husband and I do is to quarrel continually. He beats me and swears at me, and then tells me how much he loves me and cries over it all .

Now I would like to leave him and go back to my folks, but he won't let me go. Says he can't bear to be separated from rne. Please tell me what to do. Do you think he really loves me? '

UNHAPPY WIFE.

If your husband loves you, he certainly takes a strange way of showing it by beating you up. I do not wonder that you are slightly doubtful of the strength of his af- fection. Personally, I should not care for such love tokens, and I should consider that the tears that he shed over my bruises had a decidedly crocodile flavor.

It is nonsense for a man to say that he loves the woman he mistreals. Love is tender and kind and seeks the happiness of the beloved one. It doesn't strike her. ' It doesn't batter her up. It doesn't abuse and insult her

Words are cheap and lt doesn't matter what a man says. It ls what he does that counts. And the only way a wife can tell whether her hus- band loves her or not is by the way he treats her.

ANSWER:

TREATMENT COUNTS

If he is good to her, if he is considerate. if he is tender and unselfish. if he works to support her, he loves her. But if he is selfish to her. if he swears at her, if he beats her. if he does not provide for her, he does not love her. no matter what he says.

Nor do I think that any two people love each other who are con- tinually quarrelling. If they have a real affection for ouch other, they are willing to sink their differences and to give up their own wuys in order to make each other happy.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a man of 45 years old. Have been divorced twice and um now married to a lovely girl who is everything l could wish for ln a wife, and l would be perfectly happy except for one thing. My Father and my 14-year-old son have to live with us because I do not make enough money to support them in a separate home. and they get on my wife's nerves by continually telling her how Mother and Grandmother used to cook and how wonderfully they kept the house.

This runs my wife frantic and I do not know what to do about the situation. Should I forsake my family for the only woman I have ever been happy with, or should I let her go her way and I take care of my family?

WORRIED HUSBAND

ANSWER: No problems in the world are so insoluble as those that arise out of the domestic relationship, for they are complicated by so many issues that seem right, or wrong, according to the way you look at it, and that leave you heartbroken, no matter what sacrifices you make to try to settle them justly.

Your case is a tragic example of this. You love your wife and want her to be happy. You love your helpless old Father and young son and want them to be happy. But they cannot live together in peace and you do not make enough money tn establish them ln different homes. And, nnyvvayuyou are the bone of contention over which your wife and your family fight. Millions of lives are wrecked by in-laws having in live together. _

I, no more than any other dumb cluck know how to solve this prob- lem. The only suggestion that I can offer ls for you to have a heart- to-heart talk with your Father and your son and tell them that they are breaking up your every chance of happiness by interfering with your wife s housekeeping. and that they must have their tongues cut out rather than throw Grandma's cooking in the current wife's face.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have a fine wife and three daughters. I muke. a V91)’ 51111111 51111113’. lust enough to eke out. However, every winter my W355i 8151M. W110 11115 11 800d income, parks herself on us and never offers to pay a cent for her living. What would you suggest my doing‘!

Legends Of

P. E. Island

ONE DECEMBER NIGHT

1 B: Uncle Joe

Some forty years ego s strange occurrence took place in s - farm home only a few miles from where the writer was brought up. It was a December night. with a light snow covering the ground. Here '1 little girl lay dangerously sick-so ill that her doctors said she might slip away any moment.

For many days members of her family had stood watch beside he. bedside; and. when kind nelgkbwr‘ offered to relieve them, their offer was accepted with thanks and grati- tude.

On that particular December night to which we already have made reference, three neighbor wo- men volunteered to stay with the sick child. The three were mature married women with young families of their own. And they were not the sort of persons to get panicky over trlfles. Indeed. I do not be- licvc that any of the three could be classed as hysterical. Certainly they were not superstitious. At least that's what my informants said about them.

By ten o'clock all members of the home were fast ‘asleep. How they needed rest! The sick child lny in an adjoining room. Her mother lay beside her. All was peaceful and quiet.

The only 5...; ‘assigned the watchers was that of keeping the fires going rind administering the medicines. They talked in lowered tones.

At exactly five minutes before midnight two of the three women started for the sick room. The forms on the bed slept on. and the house was ivrapped in silence.

When they rc-cntered the kitchen the clock began striking the mid- night hour.

Suddenly a terrific noise fell upon their ears, u noise which none of them could ever rightly define. Qeﬂllllﬂy it was a new experience in their lives and one which they would never forget-never. It was like the mad rushing of “raters aft- er a spring thaw, or like the roar- ing of flames sweeping through dry timberland. But according to those who heard it. it was actually the strangest of sounds. something that you had to hear in order to fullyrealize its nwfulness.

This was followed. moments later. by a series of crackling sounds which appeared to come from ivlth- ln the building itself. The whole place rocked gently on its foumla. trons. and the walls grnnned and then appeared to expand and con. tract at frequent intervals.

Thoroughly alarmed and shaking ‘V1111 1PM‘. the watchers stood close together". Not a word passed among them. They just stood there and ivaited. Then all became as silent 8S PVC!‘- rhAfter s‘ time courage cnmg (a ‘ e1“ n58)"- 111111 1111')’ opened the tu0r_ lending fo the outside.

The experience was a bit too much for anyone who was no; possessed of nerves of iron. So all three fell to their knees and prayed.
