kind. l am not unhappy; l am jrst
tired. / have a dear, good husband,
who is willing to do anything he
can for his babies and myself. But
the trouble is they won't stay with
anyone. He has tried to keep them
and let me get rest, but each time
they cried from the time 1 left till
got back. which was several
hours. They are not bad children
and are contented as long as l am
near. ! love my babies dearly, and
would not neglect them for any
thing. but II looks like there ought
to be a way for me to get little
recreation. ] am in constant
nervous strain. j feel as If l Will
give away IL l have to keep on
going in this way as II has been
for the last two and a half years.
hope this letter is not too long
and you will give me some advice,
and perhaps some of the young
mothers will tell how they man
age.
A 24-YEAR-oLD MOTHER.
First and foremost you need a
change. l don't care how simple
a one it is, anything in the nature
of q diversion would help you.
The very fact that you wake in the
morning as tired as when you
went to bed, indicates that your
nervous system is in depleted
state.
First, you should turn over a
new leaf about your children. 1t
is not necessary for them to be
with you every moment and it is
very wearing for you. You would
be a much better mother, to say
nothing of being a happier and
healthier woman, if you could
have occasional periods away
from them.
don't mean to criticize, but l
fear you began wrong with them
You yielded to their insistence on
having YOU about all the time and
you are paying the penalty. No
matter how difficult you find 1t,
you must be firm with them. The
first few weeks will be the most
difficult but they CAN be trained
so that you may have the Tree
dom and recreation you require.
Let them yell their heads off while
you are gone and don't let IT worry
you. II isn't hard work that
causes "nerves," it's the worry
about hard work, or children, or
anything else. know 1t isn't
any e1sy prescription, but you
won't feel any better until you
force yourself to relax, mentally
and physically. II won't do you
any good to be away from your
children for few hours II you
worry about them all the time you
are away. Let me hear from you
again.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

noticed in your columns letter
from a person signing himself G.
II. H., and which was rather inter
esting to me. as I have often won
dered if the young men of these
days cared for any kind of girl,
but the type he seems to take eN-
ception tony experience has been
in nay several years OF office work
that men prefer the kind that
dresses freakishly and paints. /
myself believe that the men are to q
great extent to blame for it-that
is-by noticing and giving attention
to that kind of girl, they encourage
others, who perhaps would not
otherwise do such, to think that
men care only for that type.
have often thought that If men
would look a little more in the
homes and maybe as far as the
kitchen for their wives, instead OF
the streets or dance halls, there
would be fewer divorce cases.
have never been in dance hall
in my life, and don't expect to. l
can find just as much enjoyment in
a walk, a good book, or an hour In
the kitchen as I believe any girl can
hnd in any dance hall that was ever
erected, and think that II this
Young man. and perhaps some Of
the Older, ones. were to look in the
right plabes they would fnd there
are hundreds of women In this great
beautiful world OF ours who put the
home f,rst, and do not like to be
Judged by what others may do.
S. S. S.
HUCH Of what you say is en-
MI tirely true but no one has
AVA ever been able to convince
young man that rosy checks and
twinkling toes might not be all
sufficient requirements for wife.
They are attracted by fragile,
flower-like girls and after mar
riage are highly indignant that
such a girl is neither capable nor
strong enough to do housework.
They rave over q girl because she
dances divinely and think they
have a very real grievance when,
after marriage, they find her
kitchen mechanics are sadly lack
ing. What they don't realize is
that marriage, as Mawruss would
say, is something else again, from
moonlight walks and dreamy
waltzes. The business Of being a
woman is the most difficult and
complex thing in the world. She
must combine all the wiles OF a
siren with all the skill Of a do
mestic economist and there are
mighty few such all-around wo-
men. Therefore unhappy mar
riages and dissatisfied husbands
and neglected wives.
