Dorothy Dix Says

And the children nearly always
resent the older sisters authority, and
take all the sacrifices she makes for
them for granted, and without SO
much as a thank YOU
Two pieces of advice only have I
to give girls who take their mothers
places. The first is not to sacrifice
themselves too completely for their
families. They have as much right
to their own lives as their fathers
and their brothers and their sisters
have to theirs. Let the other chill
dren share some of the responsibility
and do some Of the work
And If love comes your way, take
/ it. Thousands of elder sisters have
thrown away their chances in life
for their younger sisters and BROTH
ers and then had them refuse them
even shelter when they were old and
poor and helpless.
Secondly, don't oppose your
fathers second marriage if he picks
out suitable woman. A stepmother
Is often an angel in disguise. She
will fill in place in your father's
life that you cannot fill and make
him happier than you can, and she
will leave you free to follow a girls
normal life.

Dear Miss Dix: I am one Of the
vast number Of motherless girls who
are trying to keep their homes to-
gether for the sake of dearly loved
fathers and younger brothers and
sisters. Will you tell us few Of the
things that you would want daugh-
ter of yours to do in such a situa-
ton? JANE H.
I think, Jane, that among all the
saints and angels and martyrs there
are none more deserving of our rev.
erence than those girls who try to
take their mothers places in their
homes, and lay at their feet my
tribute of admiration for all that is
the most unselfish and altruistic in
the human heart.
Their jon is hard one and gen.
orally a thankless one. Sometimes
even their fathers do not appreciate
how heavy is the load that has been
laid on shoulders too young and
weak to bear it. Father does not
realize how hard it is for a young
girl to give up her free time and her
playtime for the heavy drudgery of
taking care of a family, and that
only too often the girl who takes her
mothers place has to give up all
thought of love and marriage herself
because she cannot desert him and
the children.
