Don’t Make Tragic Mistake of -Taking Widow. ed Mother Into Your Home, Dorothy Dix

Counsels Loving Children. - Youngr est Child‘ Need ‘Not be Family

_ Goat _ t

Dear Dorothy Dix-My father and- mother had been married a, long time. A month ago he died. What happiness can she, a women 5mg- lug her sixties, have without the man she loved? What Joy can be hoped

- for when One Wishes to sleep and never wake up? What pleasure out of life can a woman set who has not been trained for some absorb- ing profession and who has only been s house- wife and mother and enjoyed that and the suc- cess of making countless friends, It seems as though childish laughter, the beauty of sun, sky and earth, everything one shared with the man one loved, will be like a knife thrust in a broken heart. My mother is only partially independent. She is coming to live with mu and that moves her a long distance from her old home and friends and leaves her nothing to do to fill in the time. I ask you again, must all of her future life be empty and men- - ingless and miserable?

4 A READER. Answer: .

You are about to make the tragic mistake that so many loving and, dutiful children make, of breaking up their mother's home when their‘ father dies. 'I‘he sons and daughters are so overflowing with pity for poor Mother; they feel that she will be so helpless without the man on whom

she has leaned for so long; they cannot bear to think of leaving her alone in the house that will seem so desolate with Father gone out of it that they snatch her out of the home, which has become part of her very life, they sell the furniture that is interwoven with her every memory and Balloti- fled to her by countless griefs and joys, they separate her from her old lfriends and take her away into an entirely new environmnt in their own homes.

"Mother, you must come and live with me. such a comfort to you and my house is so much more comfortable than this old- barn." “Mother, you have worked so long for us, now you must t never do another band's turn as long as you live." How many devoted 5 sons and daughters have said these words to their mother as they stood by their father's ;cofl'in. How many sons and daughters in all filial duty have made the terrible blunder of sacrificing their mother and themselves by transplanting her from her own hmne into theirs,

For in taking Mother a/way from her own home they have taken from Ber the only thing that could really comfort her in her first grief over the c loss of her husband. As long as she can stay in the familiar rooms in which they have lived so long she is 11m alone. He is still with her. His presence fills the place as it never can her children's strange house. There is comfort for her also in the fan\'ar things, and the greatest comfort of all is in having something in do, the old routine tasks that must be done Every day, and comfort in the old friends whose sympathy must come from

It is a cruel thing to take an old woman out of her old home and put her to live in another womdifs house even if that other woman is her own daughter. guest to her ln-laws. The children worry her. She has no friends and is lonely beyond belief. Her hands ache for the work to which she is ac- customed, and she is miserable and makes those about her miserable. For lfarbetter for her children to make up a little purse and support mother in her old home than to try to move her. _

Your view of death is both morbid and cowardly, and if every one met it in the craven spirit in which you do this would be a world of mourning filled with the lameniations of the bereft. For death comes to us all and no one is so fortunate as not to have lost some one near and dear. i

At first we all feel that the anguish is too intolerable to be borne, but if we have a brave heart we brace up and bearour suffering with what fortitude we may, knowing that all about us are those who have also trodden the way of the crucifixion and yet turned a. smiling lace upon their fellows. And then 'I‘1me, the oonsoier, the healer, does its blessed work and the wound ceases to ache so angonlzingly and slowly slowly it heals and we take up the threads of our lives sgalrr and begin to d pleas- ure in the things we once enjoyed. "Weeping endureth for the night, but joy cometh with the morning," is the merciful law of nature, or else we could not endure life.

This healing will come to your mother, but it will come the sooner in

her own home. DORUHIY DIX, I I I I I I

Dear Miss Dix-I am a. woman of 28, going to be married soon, and my fiance and I have planned to have a. home of our own, but I am the last child of my family to get married and my mother is not. willing for me to leave her, although my father is living. I have helped support the family for many years longer than the other children and I now feel that I have a. right to my own home and to live my own life. My mother mar- ried when she was very young and left her mother. Why shouldn't 1 have m same privilege? What would you suggest we do? WURRJED.

swcr: ' .

Pay no attention to your mother's selfish desire to keep you with her, but go along and establish your own home. That is best for you and your husband, and in the cud it will be the best for your mother also because‘ it will save the inevitable conflicts and misunderstandings that are sure to ourur when two families try to live together,

You have sacrificed a. great deal to your family and it is time for you to quit being the family goat. Let. the other children chip in and help

the whole burden upon you and upon your husband, as will surely happen if you live with Mother and Father.

There are many reasons. aside from the joy and interest that every bride has in going to housekeeping, why a young couple should get up their own home instead of going to live with their parents.

One ls that it domesticstes them. In one of Dickens‘ stories two young men set up a. kitchen in which. nothing was ever cooked because oi‘ the moral influence it would have upon their characters. And it is true that pots and pans and tables and chairs do anchor people to-thelr own. fire- sides. Many a. bride who would put on her hat and walk out on him sfter g. spat with her husband. stays because she can't bear m give up he; wlghen curtains and‘ the new divan they are paying for on the installment And 6898015113’ every W113i‘ ¢°1ll>l€ should be by themselves during the lirst year in which they are getting adiusted to each other, so that, they ‘can have all their fights in private without either of their families stand- lng on the sidelines hearing and sicking them on each other.

And still another reason why Percy and Annabelle should go to b- usekeep‘ lg as soon as they are married-and stay by themselves. for that matter-is because what Mother doesn't know about her in-lewg deems; hurtmiier and neither (an it hllldft grey and Annabelle,
