Should She Urge Husband to Better Position in Another City—How to Get Rid of a Woman With a Grievance. JDEAR MISS DIX: My husband has a much better position offered him than he now has, but it will take him to another city. We do not know whether he should accept it or not, because my mother and sister live with us, and if we leave it would deprive them of the home they now have with us. My sister works, and gets pretty good wages, and my mother has a pension, but still they are afrald to go by themselves. My husband is getting discouraged, as this Is the third good offer he has had to refuse because of them. Haven't we a right to look out for our own future? PERPLEXED. Answer: T do not believe that your husband should hesitate for a second You should urge him to do so. It is not right that his prospects in life should be sacrificed to your mother and sister. I am convinced that all of us do a great wrong by lacking the backbone to deal properly with the dependent relative problem. We make parasites of people who should be made 1o stand on their own feet, instead of burdening others. We make no-account loafers of those who should be doing good, useful work in the world. We make grafters of those who should be independent, and who would be a thousand times happler if they were earning their own living than they are being fed by us. 1 hardly know a family in which there is not one of these hangers-on who should be kicked out and forced to go to work and be self-sustaining, instead of being a burden on others. Your case, Perplexed, seems a case in point. As long as vou give your mother and sister a free home, they will take it and think it no more than their due. But if you go away and leave them to fight their own battle with life, they will do it and will win out, and they will be better and stronger for it. Nobody belleves more strongly than I do in children doing their duty to thelr parents, but about nine-tenths of the parents who settle down on their children to support them give up work 10 or 15 years too soon. Perhaps they were never very fond of work, or else they wouldn't need to be dependent on thelr children in their old age. But, anyhow, the majority of them assume the perquisites of age too soon. and are quite as able to earn their living as their children are to work for them As for the sisters and brothers who settle down on the family goat, and let George do it, they are human leeches that we should shake off, instead of letting them suck our lite blood. Generosity and sympathy are virtues that easily lean to vice's side. They do harm instead of good, when we needlessly sacrifice ourselves. Often we can do no kinder thing than to throw people out on their own, and force them to look after themselves, Instead of being babied. You and your husband have a right to your own life. Nobody will look after you when you are old, so make your hay while your sun shines. DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: 1 have a dear woman friend, who is unable to agree with her family, and has for many years been living by herself. She has made it a lonely existence for herself, as she does not show an inclination to afMate herself with church or welfare work, or to cultivate any friendships. Since our acquaintance she has come to me with her many differences with her family, and her woes generally, which are mostly imaginary. This mania for telling me her troubles has grown on her, until now it has come to the pass where she takes up hours of my time. She seems to have no conception of the demands of business on a man’s time, but comes to see me, and when I tell her I am busy she is much peeved. I hate to hurt her feelings, but .1 simply cannot sacrifice my time and work to her. What can I do? A MARTYR. Answer: There is no way in the world you can save yourself except by telling her the plain, blunt truth, and forbidding her to come to your office at all. If you are an exceeding great altruist, you might soften the blow by setting apart one evening a week in which you will go to her house/and assist_ her in her trouble. But you will have to barricade your office against her, or else you will find her camped In it, and you will be forced to listen to a perpetual monologue about all the 57 varieties of blues with which she is afficted There are no people in the world so selfish, so absolutely inconsiderate of the rights of others as the women with a grievance. They are ghouls who dig up their sorrows, and feast on the corpses of dead griefs. They live in an orgy of self-pity. They get drunk on their own tears. They are morbidly cost to others. It is nothing to them that they rob you of time that You cannot spare and that after you have listened to them for hours you must work extra late and hard to make up for the time they stole. It is nothing to them that th depress your spirits, and lay on you burdens that do not belong to you. They are having the time of their lives telling vou their hard-lugk tale. and the) should worry ubout how it affects you O e s Mo way L0 Suppress these pests, no way to get rid of them You can only shut your door in their faces, which is a hard thing to do. but necessary.

To be sure there is good ground for much of our worry, but there {8 more hope in the situation than some of us suppose. It is generally accepted as true that the children are the product of their ancestors. We are inclined to accept the statement that the germ of our inheritance fs born with our fathers and mothers. But somehow there is a leakage, a mixing, a new product and a new deal. If that were not so, we would be the same today as we were a million years ago, and we are not. That child of yours who looks so much like his great-uncle Pete is not really & bit Hke him. There is a shade of color in his hair, a gleam now and then in his eve, a hint of a familiar personality, but it is only a hint. This child is not great-uncle Pete. He is another and a far different person. There has been & new deal somehow. The life patterns have been shifted just a hairline and that makes all the difference in the world. So take comfort to yourself, if you have been thinking that the most un welcome of all your ancestral family has made another appearance on this earth. It is not true. It is not even as true as it might be, if you were not watching and teaching. You can teach almost any child al- most anything you wish to teach him if you begin early enough, keep at it long enough and mean it hard enough. Like everything else in the world, if you want to train the child in a cer- | tain fashion you will have to pay the bill for it in time and thought and self-sacrifice and energy and money. Then it can be done—almost every time. For our characteristics and our tendencies can be modified. Some of them can be allowed to die from dis use. Some of them can be strength- ened and encouraged. Talents that were not on the surface can be brought to light. Whatever equip ment the child brought into the world can be modified in almost any fashion you decree. But nothing can be added to that equipment. It is sufficient for his neceds. Instead of bemoaning the fact that he is a mathematician instead of | @ musiclan, & doctor instead of a | gardener, & builder instead of a| student, make the most of his inherit- | ance. He is to be made happy by it | and through it. Trying to graft an-| other personality to his will not be succeseful, and be assured, if it were possible to do, the child would not be happy. He would be a hybrid child and that would not do. He must be the best of his own kind to be of any use in this world. 1f the child seems to have inherited the undesirablé qualities of all his an- cestors take courage. Select those you would destroy and begin early. Surround him by :the influences that will set the stage against the unde- sirable traits and encourage those that are good. Give him good play- mates. Playmates are an educative force of incalculable value. Set him a good example. It is the best teacher of all teachers. Keep a cheerful and hopeful spirit concerning him. It is contagious. He will hope for himself when he finds you hoping for him. And always remember that each child is a new specimen, a fresh trial in the scheme of life. There is not 80 much to fear in his inheritance as there is ground for hope. (Copyright. 1925.)
