I . [v Dorothy Dix Letter Bvox i ‘it Warning to Wives Who Neglect Their Hus- - bands for Their Children — Can Expensive Tastes be Overcome? Why Second is Usually Better Than First Sight‘ in Love .- » ~

Dear Miss Dix-I was very much interested in what you wrote about a wife sacriﬁcing her husband to her children, because that has been my and experience.

I have always loved my wife dearly and done everything in my. power to make her and my children happy. but ahe has absorbed herself in her children and I have ex- isted only as a provider for them. ._.. We have two sons and two daughters between 27 and 19 you: o! one.

HCVCI‘

Ever since the eldest boy was 15 years old his mother has made him her companion to exclusion. She has gone everywhere with him, and they were always out - together, while I was left out. Recently he got mar- ried. and his wife naturally needs him as a companion, _ and his mother is lost. Soon the rest of the children will no doubt marry and then their mother will be __ very lonely, for we have become so alienated we are r» ‘ almost strangers to each other. I would advise all brides to make companions of their husbands if they want to keep them. A LONEDY HUSBAND.

Answer: l I call this letter to the attention of every woman reader of this column,

and especially do ‘I commend it in the prayerful consideration of all young mothers with their ﬁrst babies.

It sounds a. notc of warning that they will do W811 to heed, for there is no other error that women are more apt to fall into than that of absorbing themselves so much in their children that they forgetthcy have husbands to whom they have any duty at all. Men almost invariably resent this. It hurts their vanity to have their noses put out of joint by the ,flrst squirm- ing, red-faced little infant that comes along. Because they are fathers they have not ceased to care for their wives nor to desire their society nor to enjoy going about with them. and they cannot understand why their wives have suddenly lost interest in them and prefer the company of n squatting brat to theirs. '

Of course, the explanation of this is that in many women the maternal instinct is stronger than the love instinct, and after the arrival of the ﬁrst child they never think of their husbands again as men. They are only the children's father, whose sole purpose in life is to provldethe youngsters

work their husbands to death to do this if it is necessary.

Such women never make an eﬁort to be attractive to their husbands. They never dress up for them or try to amuse them. They spend their evenings watching the baby sleep. They wear clothes that the babies can't hurt. They have the kind of food on the table that ls suitable for infan- tile digestions. They run their houses and their lives to suit the children and not their husbands.

And when the children grow up they make a sort of closed companion- ship with them that excludes the husband. In many homes the mother and children are chums and the husband and father is made an outsider. Mother and children go oﬂ on larks together and leave father behind. Mother always gets the credit for giving the children what; they want, though father pays the bill, because she impresses on thechildren that she is getting what they want out of father.

The mother calls this chumming up with her children, and is ﬁlled with self-righteousness because she does it, and she never once thinks of the in- justice she is doing her husband in having excluded him from her life and in having failed to give him the companionship and understanding and sym- pathy that he has a right to expect from her.

But in the end retribution overtakes her. for in n few years, twenty or twenty-five at most, her children are grown and leave her and then she is left desolate because she has alienated her husband, she has lost touch with him and she has nobody to fall back upon when her children are gone.

Just as a matter of self-protection a woman is Wise who spends more more time on her husband than she does on ‘her children, who gives him some of her caresses and petting instead of bestowing it all on the baby and who hires some one else to look after the baby while she pals around with him, for you can hire plenty of good, safe nurses to look after the baby. but no nice, trustworthy woman to look after your husband.

DOROTHY DIX. I O O I I I

Dem- Miss Dix-How can a person who has been used to lifxuryncquiro habits of thrift without feeling sorry for herself all the time? _I havebeen trying to ﬁgure this out tor the last ten years. Until my father died when I I was 18, I had everything my heart desired. Then, a ” ‘ , my mother; and I found ourselves with barely enough income to feed and clothe one of‘ us. I had to go to work, and I have finally got to the place where I earn n good salary, but no matter how much I get we can't seem to save, and I am beginning to lle awake at night wondering what would happen if some emergency should arise. Yet, on the other hand, ! would be very miserable if we didn't have a little car and a radio and if I couldn't go horseback rid- ing or golfling or wear silk underwear and smart-looking clothes and take a good trip once o. year. What's the answer? POOR PEG.

Answer: '

The answer is that you can‘ have your cake and eat it toe. Evidently your father belonged to the eat, drink and be merry today school of thought. and that was why when he died his sole bequest to you was the curse of luxurious taste! and nothing with which to gratify them.

And if a parent can wish any worse luck on n. child than that I don't. know what it is. Malice itself can invent nothing cauniar than to rear a. child up with habits that it cannot indulge, with desires that it must fore- go. What we havp never had we do not rnlsa. If we have never alept soft we do not mind a hard bed. If we are accustomed to plain food we do not crave subtle sauces. If we have never had anything but cheap clothes we do not wrltha at having to wear hand-me-downs. But if we have been accustomed to the elagancles of life, luxuries become necessities and we are wretched when deprived of them. ‘

Threfore. I hold that parants are criminal when they indulge their children in things that they cannot aﬂord and when they cultivate in them chiffon tastes and habits and leave them no money with which to buy ﬂurmri 1w. ‘

But. my dear Peg, ii. seams to me that you have tainted aothlnl from the bitter lesson that you have had. beeauaa you the an mending every- thlng you make and laying up nothing for that rainy ear which i auto in come. You have suffered from the improvtdenoa of your lather. You are preparing to suffer a second time through your own tmplovtdence, and this time your sufferings w1ll be greater became your power aa a mmiy-‘aarner will have ended and you will have no gay to rottaveyetar fortune.’ ‘Hun

as the homely old phrase goes, cut your pattern according to your cloth and bring your expenditures clown more within the limits of your income. No doubt you will miss many of the luxuries you now enjoy. but you will also miss the fear of what would happen to you if you got sick or lost your Job. And that will be a great compensation.

And, fortunately, human nature is more adaptable than we give it credit for being. Kings have been happy in exile. Millionaires have lost their fortunes and have got a kick out of counting their pennies. Every clay you see people who are maimed or crippled or blind or deaf who are cheerful. You even find people on a dict who have learned to like spinach.

And so you can find a thousand consolutions and amusements in saving Suppose you try it and suppose you deny yourself the greatest of all luxuries, which is self-pity, and adopt n brave attitude toward life and be thankful you can make a living instead of weeping over having to do it. DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Miss Dix—-Do you believe in long engagements? If not, why? How long would you suggest being engaged? Do you believe in love at. first sight? INQUISITIVE.

Answer: No, I do not believe in long engagements. l think they are too much

A long engagement wears

I think an engagements should be long enough for a. couple to gel. acquainted with each other and not so long as to get on each others nerves. '

I think that occasionally a couple full in love with each other and recog- nille each other as their mates at sight. but. generally speaking, the wise thing is for them to look each other over long arid carefully before they make up their minds. ' DOROTHY DIX.
