DEAR MISS DIX: I was . d.
vorcee with one child and am now
married to . man whom I love de-
votedly and who II IN ideal husband
except for one thing. He u net
willing for me to have my child
With me. I left her with my parents
when I married, never doubling
that he would be willing for me to
bring her to our home and. do .
mothers duty by her. But he posi-
lively refuses. Says he can't bear
to have her around. I work and
support my little girl, but want
to have her with me and give her
q mothers love and care. I love
her, but I also love my husband
50 much that I would not even want
to live II I couldn't be with him.
What can do about the situation?
MAYBELLE.
Answer-The trouble with your
husband is jealousy and there Is
nothing that you can say or do
about 1t that won't make 1t worse.
II you represent to him how cruel
1t is to separate mother from her
child and how unhappy you are at
being parted from her, you will only
make him more green-eyed than
ever because he will believe that
you love her more than you do him
and that she Is more necessary to
you than he is.
If you tell him how unjust and
unfair he was not to have told you
before you married that he would
not let you have your child live
with you and 50 have given you a
chance to choose between him and
the baby, he will say that his great
love for you made him deceive you
as to his feelings and intentions
about the child. And he will hate
the little one more than ever be-
cause she makes discord between
you and him.
So there is nothing that you can
do except to wait patiently in the
hope that time will mellow him
and make him broadminded enough
to accept the child as a welcome
member of the household. Or that
he may some day come to love you
enough not to be willing to torture
you by keeping your child from
you. Or that his conscience may

quality that one finds elsewhere.
Perhaps If the housewives made
more of demand for top quality,
the markets would feel they had
real backing when trying to fill the
order and be able to hold to the
standard which they earnestly de-
sire to establish.
Broccoli Is an example Of this
passing us by" business. For the
past few weeks all the New York
market reports have been stressing
broccoli from the Southern States
while here nary a sprig Of it was to
be seen. Now 1t has arrived in
Washington markets-and is coming
from New Jersey! What happened
to the southern shipments? Just,
obviously, that they didn't stop here
on the way north. to unload even
few crates. Caulifiower has been
handled in much the same manner.
Seems q pity, doesn't it?
I understand that watermelons
are to be featured this week-and
certainly they are sweet and juicy
this year. A new melon, called the
"Cranshaw," has been seen here
and there-it Is very good, and a
cross in flavor between a casaba
and a Persian. Larger than the av-
erage honeydew, 1t is a good buy for
. large family or party. Persians
are in, now, too, and are unusually
sweet and meaty. All kinds of ber-
ries, of course, including currants.
are being offered at attractive prices,
and the first of the yellow trans
parent apples for cooking are in.
Broilers and frying chickens are
good buys now and always seem to

day-whether Is picnic fare or to
be served at home. Ducks, too, are
plentiful and inexpensive. Rib
roasts and steaks will also be fea-

crabs and scallops hold the lime

Don't Divide
Tasks
Unevenly
Let Children Help
Each Other With
Small Chores
By ANGELO PATRI.

A mother writes IN to ask II q boy
should learn to knit. I would
answer by asking, why not?"
Fishermen make their own nets.
Sailors often knit their own socks.
Why shouldn't a boy learn to knit
his own socks and sweaters?
have small patience with the
notion of sex in work. I've seen
few jobs that excluded either SEX
I used to think that a woman could
not saw wood until I saw one take
one end of the two-handled saw
and, stroke for stroke with her hus-
band, get in the winters wood. II
she couldn't take her end she
couldn't have firewood. After that
I decides that the job was the thing,
and that sex didn't count too much
even In saving wood.
Knitting is good for anybody, boy
or girl, man or woman. It soothes
jumpy nerves and calms the erratic
mind. The rhythm of the needles is
fine for what ais us these days, and
that goes for boys As well as girls.
Nerves, occupation for leisure
moments, usefulness, are just as
essential for boys as for girls.
I would teach boys to knit If they
seemed to have the spare time. If
they have no more pressing Job and
have free time. knitting is as fine
an occupation for them as for their
sisters. A boy ought to knit his own
socks for sports wear and hard wear
Of any kind. When he is skillful
enough to knit in patterns Of color
he will enjoy that even more.
would teach him to knit sweaters
and gloves and mittens, too. He
needs all those things, and 1t hurts
no boy to be able to help himself.
II he is laid up, knitting is fine oc-
cupation for him.
With knitting goes darning. All
boys ought to know how to darn
their socks. Foot comfort means a
lot to boys and men who must go
long distances or stand long hours
on their feet. A hole in the sock
becomes a means Of suffering, but
punched wad that closes that
hole Is torture. A Scout who can
mend his own socks while on a hike
has the edge on trouble. He will
march along blithely while the un-
fortunate who has holes to wear
must sit by the way and moan.
BY all means teach boys to knit,
sew, mend, cook, make beds, give
first aid, rescue drowning people,
make camp, strike camp and take
care Of himself generally. No boy
can know too much, nor can he
learn to do too many things well,
The more he knows and the more
things he can do well, the surer he
Is In his way of life whatever that be.
And the same goes for the girls.
Teach them to cook, clean, wash,
iron, mend, nurse, keep a house in
order from plumbing to formal serv-
Ice, and teach them to have some
handwork like sewing, knitting and
crocheting to take up any spare time
they might have on their hands.
They can't know too much about
too many useful ways of living. Let
the boys help the girls and the girls
help the boys, and draw no sex lines
IN work. Such lines are false, useless
and 4 nuisance.

attention to inquiries from par
ents and school teachers on the
care and development Of children.

Father P. J. Francis,
Founder and Head
OF Retreat, Dies
Heart Attack FutoI
To Monastery Leader,
Native Of Maryland
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GARRISON, N. Y, Feb. 8.-The
Very Rev. Paul James Francis, II,
founder and father general of the
Graymoor Monastery and Retreat,
died today of heart attack.
He established the Franciscan
Friars of the Atonement whose St.
Christopher's Inn is open to all
men. There they may come and
remain as long as they wish, re-
gardless of religious belief.
Father Paul had been active in
his duties through last night,
stricken suddenly this morning, he
died an hour later.
He was born at Millington, Md,
and was educated at Burlington
College, Burlington, N. Y; st. Ste
phens College, Annandale, N. Y, and
later at the Protestant Episcopal
General Theological Seminary.
He served churches in Maryland
and New York and was head of the
Associated Mission in Omaha from
1895 to 1899. In 1899, he established
the Franciscan Friars of the Atone
ment at Graymoor.
The Sisters of the AtOnement had
been established the year before by
Mother Lurana Francis and on Oc-
tober 80, 1909, both congregations
were corporately received into the
Roman Catholic Church.
Father Paul founded the Mission
ary Association of the Union-That-
Nothing -Be-Lost and was editor Of
its organ. the Lamp.
Associates tell the story that the
inspiration for the union came to
him one day after he had read the
tale of Christ feeding thousands
from five barley loaves and two
fishes and after the miracle had
been performed admonished His
disciples to pick up the fragments
that nothing be lost.
An associate of Father Paul's said
he decided that many missionaries
could be maintained on what is
wasted and a program was
launched. Graymoor served as a
point of distribution of aims under
the plan and more than s6OO0,OOO
has been sent to missionaries
throughout the world through his
efforts.
Father Paul inaugurated the
Church Unity Octave January 18,
1925, which now is observed through
out the Catholic world. This oc-
tave is based on eight days of pray
er. starting January 18, each day
being set aside for its own intention
in his dream of the reunion of all
Christendom.
Father Paul was ordained a
F0man Catholic priest June 16, 1910.
