_ fting Relations Are the Cause of Much Dissention and Frequently Rob 3. Hus- band or Wife of All Their Happiness. After All, Family Money Affairs ' Come First

a ll Dear Miss Dix—What can a wife do with a husband who has a fam- ~ complex? If a relative asks him for help he cannot. refuse. During twenty years that we have been married a large part of all that we

have hade has gone to the support of his kinspeople.

} l

Especially or his sister, who nagged her husband until he divorced her and who than settled down calmly expecting my husband to support her without her making a single effort to help herself. There are also var- ious cousins who are always borrowing mon- ey and who have to be helped out with the doctors’ bills, the groceries and a ton of coal.

Now I have worked hard to help make the money that my husband gives his family, I have scrimped and Dinched and Bone shab- by to help lay up a little for our old 689. 1 do not think it is fair for my husband to give away the money I have helped earn, and

on

V

i then to lie to me about giving it away which I reproach him for doing so.

I have to do without many things that I need because my husband has given the money to his relatives. This doesn't seem fair to me. because I worked as hard ior it as he did. A WIFE.

Answer:

‘.,,- It isn't fair. It is giving you a raw deal, but when either a. man or

1.’: rwoman is family ridden there seems to be no help for his or her unfor- Always such a one‘s father and mother. sl-Sioerfi

unate wife or husband. ' brothers will have the first call on his or her pocketbook, and the ‘Pa

htsoi a more husband or wife will get small consideration. I have seen this happen hundreds of times. I know women who have

ruthlessly sacrificed their husbands to their families. Their husbands‘ ambitions were blocked and their careers wrecked because they Oollid never save up any money with which to take advantage of some business -‘opportunity that presented itself, because every dollar that they made over and above their living the wives would spend on their families. Ai- ways there was the interest on a debt to be paid, or the rent wfi-S Ovefdl-lea or Mother had to have an operation, or a child's teeth needed straighten- ing, or pretty little sister needed a party dress, or a brother wanted to go to college. And the wives took the money for which their husbands had ‘failed and spent it on their people without a pang of compassion for the ‘husbands they were robbing.

And I have known men who treated their wives the same way. 1 think now of a man whose wife was the most frugal and industrious woman I have ever known and the best manager. she worked early and

-i late ,turning, twisting, contriving, making new clothes out of old, turning

stew meat into ragout that would please an epicure, saving every nickel to

. “ help her husband get a start in business because he was efficient. too, and

she was ambitions to make a better place in the sun for her children.

But always she was balked in her efforts to get along because of the ceaseless drain made upon her husband by his brothers and their famil- ins, who did not feel that they were cailed upon to work or economize be- cause they could always go to John with their unpaid bills and demands :or money and be sure of getting what they asked.

I often wonder if these husbands and wives who put their reiBtiV8-5 before the men and women to whom they are married, and who have worked just as hard as they have to make the money, realize not only how cruel they are, but how dishonest. It is a bitter thing for a man to KHOW that his wife is willing to work him to death for her family. It is 3. bit-

erer thing for at wife to realize that her husband is willing to take all 01 her hard work, all of her sacrifices. all of her doing without. the pretty things that women crave. and give them to his people whom he loves so much better than he does her that he prefers them before her.

A man with a wife who has the family complex can Protect himself In a great degree if he has the courage to fight her to a standstill and re- Inc to let her victimize him, because he hand'es his own money and he fin prevent her from taking it from him.

But a woman is pretty helpless when her husband prefers his family is her and denies her in order to give to them. The only remedy that I m mggest is for her to beat them to it and spend the money before he i .

a chance to be held up by his grafting relatives. DOROTHY DIX. V, I I I I I I I

A youthful reporter turned up at the office after being sent to write up a fashionable wedding.

"Well," snapped the news editor. “where's your copy?"

"Oh, that’: all right," retorted the young man. "I dn’t bother to do it. You see. the br degroom didn't turn up and the ceremony was cancelled. so there's nothing to report."

PAYIMENT IN KIND

During recent military operations in the Far East one side captured the othai-'s general. An envoy was sent to negotiate his exchange. “We will give you four colonels for him." said the officer.

The offer was declined.

Evsry erzpec-.Ln::t mother in Bri- tain_ however p:o:, will be able to ob‘ in the se‘vl:es of a qualified mid\.:fe. if the Ministry of H-salth‘s new Midwives’ Bill becomes law, says an Engli h paper.

The Bil‘, the text of which was issued lately. is part of the cam- paign for reducing the material mortality rate. It provides for:

A service of salaried midwives:

Instruction for all practising mid- wives.

A ban on maternity nursing by unqualified persons; and

Compensation for midwives left out of the new services or who re- tire.

Each local supervising authority is required to secure the whole-time employment of a sufficient number of mldwives—to act.also as nurses ——for attendance on women in their own homes during childbirth and for at least ten days afterwards

Fees will be charged for the ser- vice. but the lo:al authorities are empowered to grant remission or rebates where necessary.

THE TURN-UP PROBLEM

Men's trouser turn-ups are com- ing in for criticism on grounds of hygiene. The turnup, it is being said, acts as a receptacle for dirt. Yet. according to Mr. H. P. Price in “When Men Wore Muffs," the tum-cup was started as a “clean” fashion over 100 years ago to save men from getting their trousers muddy. The tailors adopted the idea, and thus the permanent turn-up was born.

Famous children are setting styles for young America this spring. From England's fair-haired Princess Eliz- abeth to youthful “royalty" of the movie world, they are launching frock and coat fashions for the rest of the juveniles. Princess Elim- beih's love for yellow has produced a. vogue for a daffodil shade in summer frocks, while the preference of her small sister, Princess Mar- garet Rose for pink has kept that in the foreground. English smock .’rocks of pastel crepe or soft flow- ered silk with the skirt falling from a brief yoke are shown by many childien‘s designers. "Princess" frocks fitted to the waistline and buttoned straight down the front, also are seen.
