DOROTHY DIX TAKES THE GRABBED
GRANDPARENTS SEVERELY TO TASK

Who Oppose All Progress, and the Sane Sensible One Who
Never Shut Their Minds TO New Ideas

These few words are addresAcd TO
the old, and TO those who are growing

question:
How do you make life for the mem
bers OF your family?
Are your children and your grand
children waiting with what patience
they can summon for you to die. SO
that they may be free to do as they
please about their own afrairH7
Are YOU a burden and an afflictlon
that IL takes the courage OF martyr
to bear?
or are you gentle. and, mellow, and
tolerant and wise, a benediction on the
home wherein you dwell?
You are one. or the other. In the

Or perhaps you will hear n woman,
who is herself mAidlc-aEed. say: The

spend the winter In some big city,

You hear people make remarks such

But II is our own fault II we have

people do by their whirns, and their
