Career Wife

Relatives Claim Her_JoB is Disgrace To Husband

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband is getting along well, but has not yet reached the goal he has set for himself. I have a pleasant position, doing just the sort of work I love and we are both wonder- fully happy, but my relatives feel that I am disgracing myself and reflecting on my husband's ability to support me because I go to business. They claim that I am keeping some girl out of a position who needs it more than I. I claim that my husband comes first. and that it is my duty to help him all I can. Also, that the more money we earn, the more we can. save and the sooner we can afford a family. Am l right?

MRS. S. T. G.

ANSWER: 1 consider that you are perfectly right and that the way a wife helps her husband is her own affair. If she can help him more by earning money than by doing his cooking and washing and ironing, she should keep on with her job.

It used to be that men had false pride about their wives working outside the home. But husbands have come to take the modern view- point and realize that there is no more shame in a woman‘s making , I money to buy the bread for her family than there is in her making

3' the bread itself. Also, husbands have come to see that there are many women born with talent for some line of work, and that it is not fair to ask such women to give up tha careers in which they are successful to do labor for which they have no turn.

MANY REASONS

There are many reasons why a woman should keep on with her work after marriage if she desires and her husband is willing. The main one is, of course, that it enables young couples to marry ho would otherwise have to wait until the bloom and freshness had w rn off their romance. For the average young man can no more afford the luxury of a wife than he can a yacht, but with both working to- gather. they can marry and not only live comfortably but save toward buying a home, or starting in business for themselves.

As for the contention that a woman should give up her job when she marries because some other girl would like to have it, that is as silly as saying that every man should stop work as soon as he is assured of an income that would provide him with bread and butter. ' Business isn't run along these altruistic lines. -

Tell your relatives, Mrs. S. T. G., that they had better come up to date, for they may rest assured that in another generation women will no more think of retiring from business when they get married than men will.

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: Some years ago I married and had two Rrhlldren, I lost my job and had to take my family to live with my grandparents while I looked for work elsewhere. During my absence,

We rode away with James in the family machine tonight. through a shadowy dark, lit by far-away stars, and quietly enfoid- ing, to visit with a niece of the family. A number we have, in- cluding Ellen, our namesake- tenchers, nurses, gifted young ma- trons, co-eds and schoolgirls, in an interesting bevy. Our hostess is an ex-school ma'am, much tak- en up now with her busy life on the farm, though finding time from it to cnioy excursions "abroad" with her husband, us- ually in connection with some in- terest related to their extensive farming. She is not one to hide her enthusiasm for farm-life.

the white-faced line, browsing knee deep in a lush June pas- ture.

"Now there's n picture for you." and she chuckled, "I'd willingly go miles to see in the flesh?” She is a young woman still, but od enough to keep an ear train- e to the yard, tonight, to catch a first hint of her elder son's re- turn from an outing. He, another who enjoys much his herds and his flocks, has now reached those enchanting years of life, when for him, every day holds a fresh ad- venture in its folds and the. nights are those leisurely he- wiiching periods of time, to be thoroughly enjoyed and, we know. posted in the book of remem- brance, to make lovely recollec- tions and even to provide win- some material for dreams in later years.

O O I O

James can still "mind" those days, the slow-passing exquisite ones along the teens, and though progress in many a direction has vastly changed the scenes since then, thoughts easily revert to those of his earlier years. Even in dreams they come to him, as clear and as true as when lived. "It's a funny thing, Ellen" he re- marked with a smile at breakfast this morning “that when I dream, time takes me back to my younger days. Now last night. . . but it's strange where dreams come from, isn't it, Ellen? I was driving along the road, not in a car as one might expect but with a horse nnd buggy." "Alone, James?" we must ask, not al-

INWARD CONFLICTS RAISE OUR BLOOD PRESSURE

Because high blood ‘pressure can be the cause of such serious dis- eases as coronary thrombosis (heart sirokei and apoplexy tbraln stroke). anything that can cause a reduction in blood pressure or pre vent an increase in blood pressure is important to both the patient and the physician.

That certain drugs control blood ‘pressure is known but drugs that actually reduce blood pressure once the blood vessels have become hard- ened are not. available as yet. liow- ever. just as insulin controls dia- betes, and liver and ilvcr extracts control pernicious anemia, these drugs that control blood pressure often prevent heart and brain strokes.

However, the patient: himself can often prevent attacks of coronary thrombosis if he is willing to "take it easy," not get excited. not cat too much at one time. If he cor.» trols his daily habits of life-lives on a. lower level of physical and mental activity-he can. to a great extent, control his blood pressure.

As mentioned before, even those with non-rial blood pressure get ex- cited and upset at times and this upsetment increases their blood pressure, so it can naturally be ex- pected that those who normally have high blood pressure will have an increase in blood pressure when

The Wizard's Ring

A Tole 0|.’ The Selkirk Settlers

(By/F. W. MlcArthlll‘)

The years sped by. One morn- ing Hector and his uncle came upon the dead body of the old shepherd. Near it lay the faith- ful dogs, ever ready to guard their master in death even as they had watched over him and the flocks when he had roamed the hills. What had caused Old Niel's death even the doctor could

not say, though he did hint it might have been some kind of poison.

The following day the shepherd was la d to rest among the scenes he had loved so well. A wee patch of heather beside a lone tree was all that marked the lonely wind- swept grave.

This was the first funeral Hec- tor ever had attended; and, needless to say, the death of his old friend affected him visibly. When the last shovelful of clay had fallen across the bier, Hec- tor's tears flowcil freely and he know that never, never, would he hear the wondrous tale that the old man of the hills had promised to fell him one day.

After the death of the shepherd young Hector was sad and lone- ly. Thoughts of his own dead parents often filled his mind, and at such times he would seek the seclusion of his attic room, open the box and with loving care handle the locket that contained their picture.

o O O O

What memories that little box held! What tales lay behind the silver hand!

Finally, one day, he put; aside the locket, picked up the ring and slipped it on his finger. For
