_Can a Husband Be SpoiIedZL-The Son Who is Ruining His Mother’s Business for Fun Separation as a Preventive of Divorce

Deer Miss Dix-J am a married woman and f agree with what. you sly

w us. Weshould make, the home peaceful and comfortable and live within our means andkeep ourselves neat and tidy and so on. but whit about the ' ' ' - men folks? What about our husbands trying to please us and keeping themselves neat and attractive looking? Don't you believe that you can spoil a man by catering tn him too much‘! MRS. 0-

Answer:

If I write more to women about making their lfomes comfortable and peaceful and keeping their husbands varuped than I do to men it is not because I consider it more their duty but because I think they are more amenable to reason than men on this point.

._ . Also, because it: is so much more important to a woman to keep her home together than it is to a man and because it. is so much more necessary to a woman's happiness and well-being for her to keep her husband eating out o! her hand than it. is to a man to keep his wife crazy about him. We women may not. like it. We may think it is unjust and unfair and all the rest of it, but it. is the truth that when we are married we are ten times as much married a: our husbands are.

If we break up our homes we are the ones who have/tn go back and be dependent on father and mother or else take boarders or hustle out and get a Job to support our children. If our husbands tire of us there are plenty of prettyyoung girls who will be glad to step out with them no matter how fat and bald-headed they are. .

If the home is broken up husband can always ‘go to some nice, comfort- able place to live where tie will be a star boarder. But if we tire of our nus-- bands, after we are fair, fat and 40, no bandolined young cake-eater comes along to make dates with us unless we furnish the tickets and the automobile and pay for the gasoline.

Hence a. woman's prosperity, as well as her happiness, depends to a large extent on‘ her keeping her husband satisfied and keeping him thinking she is the great and only woman in the world. , . It is never a cinch and often it is just about the hardest job that any woman can tackle, nevertheless it pays her to do it. It is a. good policy, as well as giving husband s. square deal, for, after all, it is no sinecure to make the money to pay the bills. Husband has troubles of his own in the business world and when he comes home he is entitled to agood dinner, a comfort.- able chair by the radio and to be generally treated as the household pet.

_ So far ashls duty goes, lt is certainly up to him to do 50 per cent of the smiling and to be Just as much of a. little ray of sunshine in the home as the wife is. lt_is pretty hard on a. woman to nail on her face a. grin that won't come on when, goodness knows, she has nothing to laugh about when she is marriedtq s, grouchy, gloomy Gus who never speaks but to find fault and whose one domestic gesture is kicking.

It wouldn't do husband any harm to remember that if a slovenly woman is disgusting to n_ man, siovenly man is even more disgustlnfl lo a woman. because women care tar more for appearances than men do. No woman would fall in love with a man who came to see her with a. three days‘ beard on his face and who slouched around in a dirty shirt without a. collar on and sat. about in his stocking feet. Nor would any girl have ever fallen in love with a man ivholspent his time telling ner of her defects and calling her down every time she made a statement‘.

No wife can take much interest in dolling herself up for a husband who never pays her a compliment nor does sue feel it worth while tn work her- self to deathcooking for a. man who is going to gulp his food down without ever-apparently noticing how good it is. And why should a wife pinch nickles for a husband who is going to howl over the biilsanywsy?

Of course,‘ you can spoil a. husband Just: as easily as you can spoil a baby. A wornancanstay at home until her husband thinks it. is a crime for her to go down town. She can do without things until he thinks she doesn't want a new dress. She can wait on him hand and foot until he can't nnd a. clean collar himself. She can let; him taikback to her until he thinks he has a right to insult her.

_._..,_ Every wife decides just exactly how her husband shall treat her and how much he shullgive her and she gets what she demands. So a young wife does well to bring up a husband in the way he should go and pamper him, but. not spoil him. DOROTHY DIX. , O Dear Miss Dix-I have a very dear friend wheee busfiess is going to the dogs as a result of the carelessness of her son, who runs the business for her. The woman does not know the status of affairs and as no one will tell her she believes the decline is due to general depression in business. I do busi- ness with her office and in going there so often have learned Just how things stand and that it is a Joke how the son puts it over on his mother and how the salesmen playthe races and spend theirtime discussing the pretty girls they pick up on‘ their up, ‘ly business errands. 1 can't possibly tell my friend that her son is playing truant and the business is on the road to fail- ure through his incompetence, so what can I do to try to save her? , E.O._K. \

Answer: l _ _ . If you tell the mother of her son's fault you will probably only make an enemy and do no good. Nevertheless, she should be warned.

_ ‘It has always seemed to me a pity that. in such cases we cannot write a kindly anonymous letter telling a ‘friend of some danger that threatens her-or of some fault that she would be glad to correct it she only knew about it. In this case 1 think I should venture it. 1t m..." wake the woman up in time tossve her fortune. It may even make the boy recite what s foolish elourse he'll; pursuing in neglecting his work for piayfAcanyl m. you will have done whet you can to help your friend without the duller of alienat- ing her aflectionsfrom you. ‘ ' ‘ _
