Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: have been mar
ried for IS years to good and fine
woman. l always have loved my
wife dearly and done everything in
my power to make her and the chill
dren happy, but she has absorbed
herself in the children and I have
existed only as provider for them.
She never hesitated to sacrifice me
to them.
Through the years I have been
very lonely. Now my two daughters
are married and my son is in the
Army and my wife is absolutely
lost without them. We have be-
come so alienated that we are almost
strangers to each other. l wish you
would advise all wives to make COM
panions of their husbands If they
want to keep them.
DESPERATELY LONELY.
AnSWer-There is no other error
that women are more apt to fall into
than that of absorbing themselves
so much in their children that they
forget that they have husbands to
whom they have any duty at all
Men almost invariably resent this
Because they are fathers they have
not ceased to care for their wives
nor to enjoy going about with them
and they cannot understand why
their wives suddenly have lost in
terest in them and prefer the COM
pany of children to them.
OF course, the explanation of this
is that in many women the ma
ternal instinct is stronger than the
love instinct. After the arrival OF
the first baby, they never think OF
their husbands again as men They

WEATHER-SUCH AS WE
HAVE BEEN HAVING for more
than a week-certainly plays havoc
with outdoor furniture. OF course,
the type that is not weather re-
sistant was stored away with the
first dark cloud, but owners of the
older style, all wood furniture un-
doubtedly, left it out thinking it
wouldn't be hurt. Maybe not, with
Just this spell, but after many like
it, this wooden furniture will show
the effects. We predict that in the
postwar world all of the furniture
manufacturers will make outdoor
pieces of sturdy, weather-resistant
materials Of one kind or another
but at present one firm seems to be
leading the field. Their furniture
only comes in one style, that shown
in the photograph. 1t Is built OF
cypress, a sturdy wood, and the
strappings are made of a new elias
tic plastic that defies all types OF
weather. At first glance the furniture
appears to be hard and uncomfort-
able, but actually. on the contrary, 1t
is very restful for the composition
material has a certain amount OF
give" To date, the colors are all
white, brown and white and yellow
and brown. The all-white, in our
opinion, is the coolest appearing, but
the yellow and brown the most eye
catching. Another nice feature
about this furniture is the fact it
can be kept clean by simply brush
ing it with a damp cloth.

something happens to our precious

their lasting for the duration, until

The Great Open Spaces

Two members Of Hitler's once
mighty and proud armies never
guessed that their superb rawhide
saddle bags would one day swing
at the sides Of two meek hired
horses, ambling through shady lanes,
with their riders picnic-bound. Yet
such was the case only last Sunday,
when a young officer friend Of mine.

for a horse powered day in the
open.
He had brought the saddle bags
back with him from Germany as
souvenirs. and saw no point in not
putting them to practical use. So
he telephoned his lady, ordered two

are only the children's father whose
sole purpose in life is to provide
the youngsters with food and clothes
and luxuries and they are perfectly
willing to work their husbands to
death to do this, If necessary.
Such women never make an ef-
fort to be attractive to their hus-
bands. They never dress up for
them or try to amuse them. They
spend their evenings watching the
baby sleep. They run their homes
and their lives TO suit the children
and not their husbands. And when
the children grow up. they make a
sort of closed companionship with
them that excludes the husband
In many homes the mother and
children are chums and the father
is made an outsider.
The mother is filled with self
righteousness and she never once
thinks of the injustice she is doing
her husband in having excluded
him from her life and in having
failed to give him the companion
ship, understanding and sympathy
that he has right to expect from
her.
/ But in the end retribution over
takes her, for in few years her
children are grown and leave her
Then she is left desolate because
she has alienated her husband, she
has lost touch with him and she
has nobody to fall back upon when
the children are gone. Just as a
matter of self-protection, a woman
is wise who spends more time on
her husband than she does on her

Wiring each piece of laundry out

Squeeze or wiring through loose
wringer and just roll up warm,
moist, sudsy for Is to 80 minutes
All the dirt is loosened. Rinse in
usual manner. Much rich sudS for
other clothes can be wrung out be-
fore rinsing-if desiredD BY this
method a whole family laundry can
be done with a bit of soap and one
bucket. Softening the water be-
fore sudsing is advised. Colored
things need be rolled only few
minutes. This method is especially
fine and any time for badly soiled
play clothes, etc, or when camping.
