ties to which she can go with care
provided for her children while
she is gone, no clubroom open to
her where she can for a few hours,
get away from the demands of her
family.
She is warm, and by careful
planning and skimping has
enough to eat But she is tired
worried, lonely, bored. Day after
day, week after week, month after
month, she is left alone with her
problems.
WIVES NEED HELP, TOO
Is she going to be able to smooth
out the troubles Of the returned
service man when he comes home
to her, unwilling to pick up his
family responsibilities at first, tim
id about going ahead with the Job
OF earning a living? He may be
bitter, perhaps, because he has
Jagged behind while the men who
have stayed at home have been
making money and getting ahead.
If she is, she has superhuman
patience, TACT, understanding and
an abundance of unselfish love.
But Il she is as human as most
wives, she is going to end up the
war as physically exhausted, as
bitter, and as poorly equipped tc
face the problems of starting life
anew with her husband as he is.
Yet all the help she is getting
today is the constant warning thai
she will have to guide her mar
through his period Of readjustment
to civilian life, and that whether
or not her marriage stands the
strain is largely up to her.

If society were really interested
in seeing that marriages inter-
rupted by the war stand as good
a chance as possible of pulling
through the period of postwar re-
adjustment as much would be
done for the morale of service
wives as is done for their men.
The wife who is left to sit alone,
tied down by a child or two or
three, with no organized social life
open to her and no one to listen to
her problems, is the wife who is
going to find the going hard. She
must cope with the problems OF a
returning service man who is ILL
adjusted to fitting in with family
and civilian life.
Take a look for a minute at Mrs.
Brown (who happens to be a true
case and is typical of thousands
of service Wives). Her husband
is a private in the army. She has
been left with three small chill
dren. the oldest only seven, to care
for and support on such a small
amount of money that haircuts fol-
the children at 60 cents each are
a real problem.
She has no car and she can't
afford a baby sitter. So she never
gets out, except to 60 down town
once a week to run necessary err
rands. You can hardly call thai
an outing, as she walks several
blocks to and from the bus line,
two children tagging at her side
and one in her arms.
Does the community do anything
for Mrs. Brown? Absolutely moth
ing. There is no service to drive
her to town once week, no par
