DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Woman Never Learned to Play and So Lost Her Husband—Advice to Father on Managing 18-Year-Old Son. AR MISS DIX: Tam a married woman with three children. My husband has left me and is living with another woman because I would not go to dances and partles with him. He takes this other woman out in his car driving, and they go to dances and showl together. My parents brought me up strictly and taught me not to play cards or dance. Now my husband wants to take the children can 1 do? from me. What CARRIE. Answer: The courts probably will give you your children, if your husband is leading a double life, so you need not be afraid of the added misfortune of losing your little ones. But I think, Carrle, that you have brought a good deal of your trouble on your own head by your narrow-mindedness, and that, to a certain extent, you are responsible for your husband's sin, as, from your own account, he tried at first to pal with you and include you in his pleasures, and you refused to go with him. Before you married him you must have known that he was of a gay and lively disposition, and that he craved amusement. You knew that he liked to dance and go to parties, and play cards, and if you were So austere that you were opposed to any of these diversions you should have refused to marry him and chosen a Puritan like yourself for a life partner. There is one thing, my dear Carrie, that every woman with a grain of sense in her head should recognize; sho has to keep up with her husband or else lose him. She has to be interested in what he is interested in and able to discuss it Intelligently with him, or else he will find some other woman who talks his language. She has to play with him, or else he will hunt up another playmate. And there is no trouble in finding one. The woods are full of women who are perfectly willing to substitute for the wife who refuses to trot along with her husband. The wives who keep their husbands are those wise dames who grab their hats and go along if they marry men who like to gad; women who never mention the rheumatism in their knees when their husbands want to dance; women who take lessons in bridge and learn to play a good game, if their husbands are card sharks; women who never ask the price if their husbands are spenders; women who boost along things instead of belng kill-joys. When you shut the door on everything your husband wanted to do you open it for another woman, my d That may not be fair and right, but it is the way the thing al happens. And let me warn you of this also, Carrie; if you are as strict with your children as you were with your husband—if you refuse to let them go to dances, and parties, and play cards, and go to picture shows—you will lose them as vou have lost him. Try to get a more enlightened slant on these matters and see that these amusements are perfectly innocent. £o long as they are not done in excess and in the wrong way. ~ DOROTHY DIX. R MISS DIX. D My son, who is now 18 years of age, is hard to manage. 1 find it almost impossible to make him go to bed early and equally imposible to get him up in the morning. At night he reads and fusses around and seldom retires before 11 or clock; and in the morning we have to call him about 10 times before he gets up. Then he does not have time to eat his breakfast properly and has to run to work. Lately he has started taking exercises, using dumbbells, and this takes still more of his time. 1 have told his mother to call him only once in the morning and then let him be late to work, and perhaps lose his job. It might be a good lesson to him. The boy is cross and cranky and it is almost imposible to live with him. What shall T do with him? JOSEPH. Answer: Good gracious, Joseph, were you born with whiskers? Weren't you ever a boy vourself? Don’t you remember how you hated to go to bed at night, and how you loathed to get up in the morning? Don't vou remember how irritated you used to get with your parents when they nagged you about sitting up of nights, and how you used to feel that you could cheerfully choke them when they solemnly quoted the old adage about early to bed and early to rise making a man healthy, wealthy and wise? And didn't you ever smuggle “Old Cap Collier,” or “Moby Dick,” or “Treasure Island” into bed with you and then, after your father and mother were peacefully snoring, light the lamp and read half the night through? And then be 5o sleepy in the morning that Gabriel's trumpet would hardly have aroused you? And when you were a spindly boy that had shot up overnight, almost, didn’t you ever look at your narrow chest and puny muscles and then at WITH A SQUEAK OF DREADFUL FRIGHT TIMMY JUMPED WITH ALL HIS MIGHT. there in the time you would take to wink your eve.

He had been so thankful for his escape that othing else had entered his head. But now he realized that never again would he dare sleep in that snug, warm home. “I can't go back there,” sobbed Timmy. “No, sir, I can't go back there.
