do with her, and hat I feel that cannot afford to let this opportunity slip, but she will not listen to reason and declares she will never go. What do you think I should do? I want to be fair to my wife, and yet I do not want to throw away the chance of my life. JOHN.
 Answer: The courts have de- cided this matter for you, John. They have ruled that the husband has the right to choose the domicile and that a wife must go where a husbands interests call him. This is fair and just because the man is responsible for the support of the family and he should not be hampered in. his efforts to succeed by the prejudice of his wife.
 Of course, kind and considerate husband takes his wife's desires into consideration, as you are doing. He does not wantonly ask her to go and live in a place that is distasteful to her. Also a good wife puts her husbands S interests and his career above her own wishes and she goes with him willingly and gladly wherever fortune calls him.
 When man is unlucky enough to have a wife who is not willing to put aside her own inclinations for the sake of his career, but who is so narrow and selfish that she is ready to sacrifice him for CT own pleasure. think that he should be man enough to go along and do what his judgment tells him is the best thing for the fam fly, regardless of her feleings in the matter, for he has his children to consider and their welfare is at stake.
 I have known many men who let their wives shut the door of op- portunity in their faces. I have known women who made their husbands stay in little towns where they could bare ly make a living because they didn't want to go to city to live where they didn't know people. 1 have known city women who nagged their husbands into giving up prosperous business in small towns. I have known women who made their husbands turn down gooG offers to go abroad, or to a different part of the county, because they didn't want to leave their mothers.
 But I have never known one of these women who was satisfied with the failure she made of her husband. Every one of them wanted the money and luxuries she kept her husband from mak- ing. So my advice is to tell friend wife that you are going where fortunes beckons, and that she will have to pack her trunk and come along or else lose you.
 DOROTHY DIX. Dear Miss Dix-Are men or womer more appreciative? NANNY.
 Answer: Women, I think. Men are more apt to feel that they are the lords of creation, and that no matter how much love and devo- tion is given them or how many little things are done for their comfort, it is no more than their
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-18

just due and what is coming to them. But neither men nor wom- en are appreciative enough.
 It is lack of appreciation that is at the bottom of half of the domestic misery in the world. It is so easy to do things for those who appreciate them and so hard to do them for those who never even say 'Thank you. !"
 DOROTHY DIX.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-18

They are too dull and blind to vision their father as he really is. They have not eyes to see the genius, the strength, the intelli- gence, that a man must have to start with nothing but his bare hands, not even an education, and wins his way to success. They have not soul enough to realize the weariness, the self-denial it takes for such a man to make fortune. They have not heart enough to think how often he has toiled be- yond his strength to make things easy for them, or how many things that he wanted himself he has done without to give them.
 And the most pitiful part of it all is that nine tenth of the self made men in America have that kind of brood of vipers for chil- dren.

DISCOURAGED FATHER.

There is no more tragic figure than that of the father who raises his chil- dren above himself who gives them the education that he had no opportunity to acquire; who lavishes advantages on them that he never had, and who knows that they look down upon him and are ashamed of him.
 Nor are there any other such con temptible snobs as these children who mock the hand that feeds them; who deride their father for money grub Der, yet who wiring the last cent out of him that they can get who live in ease and luxury on the money he has won with toll and sweat, and who do not even ask him to share the cakes and ale he is paying for nor ride in the i'm ported cars that he has bought.
