Dorothy Dix Says go
Husband Definitely Responsible
If He Is Constantly Henpecked

Dear Miss Dix: When a bride
groom carries his bride over the
threshold of a domicile he is just
installing a new boss, for within a
very few days he will learn that
everything about the premises be-
longs to his wife, and that he must
obtain her permission before even
using his personal clothes, tooth
brush and comb. Thence forward
the wife will refer to the home and
its entire equipment as my this"
and my that" The average Amer
lean husband would not dare to ask
any of his family or friends to take
a meal in his "wife's" house. Nor
would he be bold enough to even
take a glass of milk in her" refrig-
orator without first obtaining her
permission. The poor sap of hus-
band is just nincompoop, tolerated
because he pays the bills. He must
eat whatever his wife puts on
the table or go without. He must
listen to the radio programs she en-
joys, not what he likes himself. If
she wants the doors Or windows
open or shut, that is what is done,
regardless of the husbands comfort.
She even regulates the light by
turning on or off the lamps to suit
her notions.
It is no wonder that husbands go
out nights to get away from their
tyrants, and that they die years be-

written on the subject since each

more savage WITNESSES.
I might, of course, mention shoes,
but what the blank? The effect
undoubtedly would be the same.
One word say in criticism of wedges
would bring something worse than
today's web-footed spectacle: maybe
a cloven hoof shoe style which would
make woman more terrifying
creature than she now is.
Truth to tell, Miss Vogt, if may
be impersonally personal, q bit OF
space in this ungracious guest col
umn might be filled with a tale of
shoe tastes in which you play the
role of heroine. 1t concerns the
first time I ever laid pair of fright
ened eyes upon those air-cooled
wedges.

perate need of reinsurance, 'is

lists from crinoline whom I know

lists, you we're among the first five.

Battle for Relaxation

The before-bedtime bath is very
important in summer no matter how
many times day we bathe or show
er with soap and water to keep clean
and cool.
At the end of a long sultry day we
often find ourselves tense and nerv-
Gus. We hold on hard, trying not to
fly off the handle when the least
little thing goes wrong.
A lazy, luxurious bath helps to
break down this tension. The warm
water calms our emotions while a
good lathering with soap removes the
sweat glands sticky secretions and
the dirt and bacteria they collect.
Fresh towels for drying, clean
night clothes and bed linens are the
logical finish. After this nightly pro-
gram we stand a good chance Of
drifting off into dreamland and
waking up in q happy, optimistic
frame Of mind.

that offers foolishly to write guest
columns-I concede the possibility
that civilization, led by its women,
may march to new pinnacles on
wedges. But, when and If it does,
there will be any number of die
hards who long for the good old
days when it took something other
than a brave Haunting of the es-
thetic sense to look at a woman's,
shall we say, feet.
In the matriarchial establish
ment in which I am sort of asso-
ciate member, there is a kind of
permanent blitzkrieg to convince me
that there is deadly logic, an ir-
refutable wisdom, in every fashion
development for women.
That may be true, but it has not
been so deadly that many a husband
and father is not still alive to burn
with indignation. Yes, even in guest
columns which should be polite
things-and might have been really
had not the day been so hot and the
guest columnist so irritable.
Now I shall go back to my own
job to be haunted by the fuzzy vision
of what Garbo would look like in
wedges.

is that you love each other devot-

Even money? Don't you have to

"The one thing necessary is that
you love each other more than you

that. You can be poor, hungry, sick,

Answer-This is indeed a gloomy
picture of domestic life, and it may
go a long way toward explaining
why observant bachelors are loath
to stick their necks out for the mat
rimonial yoke.
For it is only too true that many
women do elect themselves supreme
dictator of the home as soon as they
are married, and that they proceed
to monopolize it and everything in
it for their own behoof and benefit.
But, after all, whose fault is it
when an able bodied and presum-
ably intelligent man permits him.
self to be bossed out of his life by
the little woman?
Isn't the man chiefly to blame
for his subservient state? Isn't it
because he is a weakling who didn t
have the backbone to stand up for
his own rights or the courage to

coward she can boss.
