Should a Man Pay His
Wife a Salary?
Startling question? 1t.
John II. Plumb jr. of Fort
Benning, Georgia, evidently
found it so. Here's his an
swer:
Dear Miss Robinson:
~ ever have been so
stunned by "A controversial queS-
tiOn as l was by that one.
II expect to marry a lovely
girl when this war is over. l
expect To love her 40 deeply
and To be loved by her so deeply
that the only thing either OF us
cares about Is making life beau
tiful for each other.
Perhaps that's dealistic,
foolish and impractical. But III
bet you everything i posse~
that a marriage based on lovs
will last ten times as long as
one based on a salary, II IL eN-
lists or lasts at all.
'If there is woman who
would marry man she didn't
love I'm preference TO one she did
because the former could pay a
higher salary, then my faith In
mankind is shaken To the fOun-
dations. i think the whole idea
Is the product of mind which
has been shut out from love and
the finer things of life"

The way TO get 10 the rock
bottom of a people IS 10 study
their folklore. Folklore IS the
collective character of a peo-
pie. The most curious thing
about the stories, legends, tall
tales. traditions, ballads and
songs OF a people is that most
OF them are anonymous Once
created. they pass into the coll
lcctiVe soul and the creator dis
appears.

To make the dress street-wise, you

with drawstrings at the neck, and
on the short sleeves, too. Or you
can team the blouse with it's own

you can manipulate the neckline
to wear the blouse slightly off the

Dorothy Dix Says

+ do? If go to my husband. my
mothers heart will be broken. If ]
don't 60, my husband is going TO
feel hurt. I am nearly crazy trying
to decide what should do.
TROUBLED BRIDE.
ANSWER: There isn't any prob
lem about what you should do. The
right thing to do is as plain as the
nose on your face. You should go
to your husband. When you got
married you swore at the altar to
forsake all others and cleaye to him
and you will be making pretty bad
start as a wife if you renege on that
oath inside of two months and let
mother keep you tied to her apron
strings.
1t is perfect nonsense for you to
say that If you go to live with your
husband it will break your mothers
heart. She doesn't love you a bit
better than every other mother love:
her daughter, and you have never
heard of a single one of them dying
Va q b4ohGAA liSdA W Va hlahhAS iANA oGAi
miserable because her Evelyn OF
Susie or Mary has married and gone
to make a new life and a new home
with her husband.
In spite of your mother making
such q to-do over the matter, she
is showing herself very selfish ane
lacking in regard for your happiness
by making you feel like criminal
in leaving her. She is evidently one
of the possessive mothers who wreck
children's marriages and break ur
homes by trying always to be frs
in their affections and separate
them from those to whom they art
married.
Be sure of this-that the decision
you make now is crucial II yol
show your husband that you pre-
fer your mother to him and that
she is going to be the dominant in.
fluence In your life, you will lose
him. There is nothing that mar
resents so much as -in-lav
who runs him and his family.
