Dorothy Dix Says go
Women Can Be Happy Only When
They Are Doing Useful Work

DEAR DOROTHY DIX-What
does a women do when her husband
is too good to her? Ten years ago
I was married to a man who has not
only given me love and kindness,
but has swamped me in luxuries-
fine houses, cars, clothes, jewels,
trips to Europe, everything. Well,
after 10 years of this harem- like ex-
istence, with nothing on earth to
do but to amuse myself, I am about
ready for padded cell. I used to
have quick fine mind. Now I am
so dull and stupefied with idleness
and easy living that I even bore
myself. I can't do things that
know are utterly useless. have
tried to knit, crochet. play golf, any
thing to while away the time, and
I am so tired of it all that 1 envy
every $l5-a-week shopgirl who has
something to do and the necessity
for doing it. My husband doesn't
want me to do anything but adorn
AAAc AAOlAAC u4AA dllO pC 0i1lIlSlllk
when he comes home. He doesn't
approve Of social work or anything
Of that sort, and he doesn't under
stand why am not singing paens
Of gratitude because he makes it
possible for me to live a life of COM
plete idleness. What must I do?
Shall I get a divorce or stay on and
turn into neurotic fool? I have no
desire to look around for romance
because love my husband, but his
pampering of me, his insistence on
making me live his idea of the per-
fectly happy woman's existence is
driving me mad.
CAESARS WIFE.
Answer-Since the beginning of
time mems conception of being kind
to women has been to keep them in
idleness. Virtually every husband
is working himself to death to keep
his wife from having any good, hon.
est, worthwhile work to do. He
thinks he shows his affection by
Shaving to provide her with. servants
SO that all she will have to do Is

to be like the lady in the fairy tale
who sat on silk cushion and sewed
up a seam and fed upon strawber-
ries, sugar and cream. Only now
she doesn't even sew up a seam. She
buys em readymade.
Every man knows that he would
go crazy If he had nothing to do
that was interesting and construc-
tive, and that made him feel that
he was doing a useful job that JUS
titled his living. He knows he would
scream if when he got up in the
morning he had nothing to do but
to think about how he would kill
the day. But he does not under
stand that an intelligent, healthy,
energetic woman feels just the same
way and that she also has to bite
her tongue to keep from screaming
when she has nothing useful to do.
This idea men have that women
should be kept in idleness is at the
bottom of half the trouble with
women and the messes they get
themselves into. They are peevish
and fretful because they have moth
ing interesting to do or think about.
They become neurotic invalids who
enrich doctors and fill sanatoriums
because all they have to do is to sit
up and think about their symptoms.
All of us have seen invalids who
were miraculously cured by having
to get up out Of bed and 60 to
work when some financial calamity
befell them.
And it is the idle women who fill
the divorce courts. Women who
have to do their own cooking and
washing and baby tending don't
have time to worry about whether
their husbands are their real SOUL
mates or not.
The best way to keep a wife happy
and contented is to give her plenty
of work to do. And that is the
thought I commend to all married
men.

Speaks on D. A. r.
Radio PROGRAM

The social aspect of democracy.

Of the deepest import for the age
IN which we live, DR.. c. Arthur Cor
nelson said yesterday in an address
for the monthly radio program of
the District Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution over station WMAL,
The speaker, who is doing private
research here on American history,
was introduced by Mrs. Edgar B.
Merritt, vice chairman of the D. A. r.
Radio Committee.
1t is necessary for the country to
think clearly and conscientiously on
two grave responsibilities now fac
ing democracy, one domestic and
one international, DR.. Cornelson
said. The domestic problem is that
of providing adequate home and
living conditions for all our people,
he asserted.
THE dictators rose to power be-
cause they were willing to assume
the responsibility of providing ade-
quate homes and living conditions
for all of the people" he declared.
Our foreign responsibility, he
added. does not require us to par
ticipate in Europe's wars, in spite
Of our sympathy with sister democ-
racies. We should stay out, he ex-
planned, because of realization
that our participation would pro-
vide no permanent solution of the
complicated international embroil-
ment.
Development of an adequate demo-
cratic culture is the best way to
make the individual alert and re-
sponsive to his responsibilities, DR..
Cornelson continued. Tolerance.
self-reliance and patience he named
as some of the attributes that must
be developed in order to make de-
mocracy success.
