DOROTHY DIX’S TALK ON
Training Girls for Wives
< BY DOROTHY DIX
The World's Highest Paid Woman Writer
THE great majority of mothers ’
want their girls to mary. <
They think, and rightly, that :
the career of wife and mother is the ;
foreordained one for woman, and the i
one in which she finds her greatest :
usefulness and content with life.
Naturally every mother desires i
that her daughter’s marriage shall
be successful, and that it will re
sult, like the old fairy tale, in “And
so they were married and lived hap
pily ever afterwards,” instead of end
ing in the divorce court.
This being true, the greatest mar
vel on earth is, that tne average
mother does absolutely nothing to
fit her daughter for the business of
wifehood. She teaches her nothing,
either theoretically or practically,
is married and has a husband, and a
home to manage. She sends her out
to tackle the most difficult, and the
most complicated job on earth, with
out having given her a single direc
tion about how to-even begin her gi
gantic task.
ko wonder that so many marriages
are failures! It speaks volumes for
the patience, and the forbearance,
and the devotion of men that more,
of them do not bundle back their ig
norant, untaught, untrained brides to
the mothers who have foisted them
off on unsuspecting men who wanted,
and thought they were getting, wives
who could do their part, as the men
do theirs, in the making of a home,
And the curious part of it all is
that these women, who send their un
fitted daughters into the dangers of
marriage, do not thus recklessly risk
their girls’ happiness through any
spite or malignancy, though hatred
itself could no no crueler thing. They
love their girls. They want them to
be happy. They want them to get
along with their husbands. They
want them to be good and thrifty
housekeepers, but they want these
things to be accomplished in some
mysterious manner without their
having to go to any trouble about it.
Yet every married woman knows,
from her own experience, that
the basis of a happy mar
ried life is bound to be
laid on the solid foundation of a
comfortable, well ordered, and well
run home. There is no romance that
will survive soggy bread, and wa
tery potatoes, overdone or underdone
meat. There is no sunshine in
house, where the wife has always got
up the rainy weather flag of tears
over the pies she has burnt. No man
can look forward to coming home at
night, after a hard day’s work, to a
cluttered house where the beds are
unmade, and the floor unswept, and
everything is at sixes and sevens. No
love survives the perpetual pounding
of the bill collector on the dor.
The first quarrel that the major
ity of young couples have is over the

Bond Shoe Makers, Dept. 371 Cincinnati, O.
wife’s incompetency to manage her
end of the joint matrimonial partner
ship. She can neither cook, nor keep
a cook. She has no idea of how to
buy, and runs her husband in debt.
His first disillusion comes when he
finds out that instead of getting a
helpmeet, he has taken on himself a
burden, and that the home that he
had looked forward to for so many
years is not the place of rest and
peace of his dreams, but a place of
turmoil where a hysterical bride
weeps over food that is first aid to
the undertaker, and sobs m-o-t-h-e-r.
In which wish she is fervently, if
silently, joined by the poor goat ot
a husnband.
Os course, in time, the young wife
generally does learn to cook, and to
keep house, and to keep the bills in
reason, but by the time she has ac
quired all of this valuable informa
tion, that she should have started
out with, she has brushed the first
bloom off of marriage, and its finest
rapture is gone. Her husband will
never more see her upon a pedestal,
but as a blundering amateur, who
didn’t know her job, and learned on
him at the expense of his digestion.
Every ihother might save her
daughter from this disastrous ex
perience if she wo)uld, for no matter
what other advantages or lack of
advantages they may have, every
mother can teach her girls how to
cook, and how to market, and how to
sew. And no matter what else she
does in the world she is sure to be
called upon at some time to have to
do these things.
That girls are reared without any
domestic knowledge is the mother’s
fault, because all gjrls have an in
stinctive yearning towards their
hereditary occupation. You can/ see
this in the way little girls always
play “keeping house,” and making
mud pies, and having their doll tea
parties.
But mothers are so jealous of
their own prerogatives, they are so
bossy and so afraid that somebody
else will have some authority in
their houses, that they keep their
daughters out of the kitchen and
never give them a chance to learn
the things they need to know.
Mothers wants her daughters to help
but she will never let them take any
responsibility, and. it is only by
doing things with one’s own hands
that one gets a working knowledge
of how to do them properly.
Nor do mothers teach their
daughters anything of the ethical
duties of wifehood. They do not
tell them that marriage means sacri
fice, that it means unselfishness and
putting of someone’s else happiness
before their own, that it calls for
patience, and self control, and un
derstanding, and tenderness, and
that when a woman takes a man for
bett-~ or worse, it means being a
g d sport who swallows the bitter
with the sweet without making
faces.
There is only one person on earth
who can settle the divorce problem.
[ And that is mother. In her hands
rest the domestic happiness of the
men and women of the world, and
she doesn’ trouble to safegard it.
What a pity!

Syndicae, Inc.)
How to Be Thrifty and
Make Over Old Clothes
Here are a few suggestions that
the thrifty woman can use in mak
ing over old garments:
A ladies’ coat and skirt suit can
be made into a very serviceable one
piece dress. A separate skirt com
bined with a remnant makes a pret
ty one-piece dress.
Long coats can be made over for
one’s self, or a top coat for young
girl or boy.
A short coat can be remodelled
for a dress for a girl, using rem
nant for combination.
Waists can be tinted and reout
for a guimpe for girl, or a camisole,
or a baby’s cap, or a covering for
a woman’s summer hat.
From worn nightgowns, infants’
dresses, children’s petticoats or cor
; set covers can be made.
. If the gowns are heavier, the worn
! yokes may be cut off. Sew up the
, end, run a tape through the hem
and you have a slip cover for dress
or coat.
From menfe worn shirts, children’s
dresses, combined with remnants
can be made blouse waists for a
boy, bibs for the baby, or apron for
the woman.
Old neckties make beautiful patch
work comfort tops or couch covers.
Old sweaters may be washed, dyed,
unraveled, reiknit for women’s or
children’s sweaters, scarfs, caps or
; wristlets.
Keep ’all scraps of silk or velvet
for patchwork quilts, couch covers,
shopping or work bags.
Stocking tops or old underwear may
be used for bloomers, or petticoats
for bab’ s or little girls, bed socks,
dust rsgs or wash rags or for mis
cellaneous mending.
If possible, mend knit underwear
with knit underwear patches, bast
ing the patch over -'.be hole. Stitch
with machine, he n. ring down the
raw edge by hand.
Spreading Whooping-Cough
The germ of whooping-cough is
found In the sputum of persons hav
ing the disease. During the fits of
coughing this infested sputum may
be tbcewn a eeaaiderable distance.
Therefore the first thing to do in the
prevention of the spread of this dis
ease is to prevent the sputum from
the sick being taken into the system
i of the well. i
The sufferer should be provided
with a quantity of soft paper nap
kins. As soon as these are soiled
they should be burned. Everything
which has come in contact with the
patient should be sterilized before it
is allowed to come in contact with
other people or things which may be
handled or used by £ther people.
Bedclothing, napkins, table linen,
towels, and the like may be sterilized
by boiling.
The great agencies in spreading
whooping-cough are the human fin
gers, and, of course, things which
are touched by them.
Eating utensils should be sterillz
e dcarefully after each using.
If every household always prop
erly sterilized its eating and drink
, ing utensils with boiling water,
there would be a very great reduc
tion in the prevalence of the com
mon contagious diseases.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Dear Miss Mary: Will you please
help me, a strange boy. I am a
stranger to you but I am in trou
ble and I am coming to you for ad
vice. I am sixteen years old, and
am corresponding with a girl fif
teen. She says she loves me dearly,
but I think she is trying to fool
me fop she lets other boys go to
church with her right before me.
I love her but she won't let me
hug and kiss her. I think if a girl
loves you she will let you hug her
and kiss her. She is the kind of a
girl who cares more for older men.
Please tell me how I can make her
love me and how to make oYher
girls think lots of me.
Is it proper for a boy to eat din
ner at his girl’s house? Is it prop
er to kiss your girl good-bye? This
letter is rather long but I am a
troubled boy. Please tell me what
to do.
TROUBLED-HEARTED BOY.
The little girl is right to ob
ject to your kissing her. And
you ought to appreciate her at
titude. It is not gentlemanly to
insist on making overtures to a
girl when she dislikes it. And
besides you can’t expect to have
girls like you if you act that I
way.
She is too young to waste her
time oi) one boy and she is do
ing right to go with others while
she is young. I think you will
get over your love affairs
quickly and you don’t need any
advice in that direction.
As for making people like
you, first you must be a gentle
man in all you do and say, and
be polite. Be courteous to older
people and kind to dumb an
imals and you will always have
plenty of friends of both sexes.
Dear Miss Mary: I am coming to
you for advice as I have no moth
er to advise me. I am a girl of
16 years and go with a boy 21. He
comes most every Sunday. He says
he loves me dearly and I love him.
He asked me to marry him. I was
too young to marry yet. Am I
right? My mother died when I was
4 years old and my father married
again. My stepmother is mighty
mean to me and my father is not
as good to me as he should be.
Would you advise me to marry or
not? I am thanking you for your
best a&vice. Put an L on my letter
so I will know It. Please print this.
I am sure sorry for a girl who has
a stepmother. Bye-bye to all.
I am truly sorry for any girl
or boy who is so unfortunate
as to be without their own
mother. I can sympathize with
you as I know what that means.
Stepmothers are all very well
if they are unselfish and have
affectionate dispositions. Some
times they are pretty brave to
enter a family where there is a
large number of children or
I even one or two. Often it is
the children’s fault they don’t
get along together.
When a man marries the sec
ond time he is very seldom as
kind to his children as he
should be. It is true that the
wife can cause him to become
vastly indifferent toward them.
So, in cases like yours, I
think a girl Is better off lots
of times if she can get a good
man whom she loves, to look
aftdr her. Every girl needs a
home. She must be shielded
from the pitfalls of the outside
world, unless she is fitted to
combat with it.
I am a child of fifteen, the eldest
of seven. As I have no brothers I
only get to be a girl on Sundays.
I have to be a boy all the week. I
wear overalls and help papa work
on the farm. I like to ride horse
back. We have a fishpond and I
go in swimming in summer and
ride in the boat in winter. One of
my boy friends, nineteen, wants me
to entertain him alone on Sunday
afternoons, but I would rather play
with the other children. Do you
think I am likely to be an old maid
if I don’t begin to have sweethearts
now? Am I old enough to wear long
dresses?
“PET.”
No, I hardly think a girl like
you will ever be on the list of
old maids, I think you deserve
a great deal of credit for being
such a help to your father,, at the
same time I don’t think he should
The Country Home
BY MRfe. W. H. FELTON
CYCLONES AND TORNADOES
There seems to be some difference
between cyclones and tornadoes, ac
cording to those who have written
and published their opinions on the
subject.
Cyclones are said to be revolvihg
storms like < waterspouts in mid
ocean, while tornadoes are fierce
wind storms going straight across
the regions thus visited. The read
ers of The Tri-Weekly Journal have
been fully acquainted with the de
vastations bf the storm of Sunday,
the 28th of March, where LaGrange
and West Point were the greatest
sufferers, although other places, like
Macon, and Washington (Wilkes
county), were seriously affected.
My first personal experience with
such a tornado occurred in 1866
the year after the surrender—on
either the 18th or 19th of April. We
had been to church in Cartersville
during the forenoon, and the storm
came on about nightfall. My hus
band came in from the barn, after
the stock had been fed, and said’
“I wish You would go to the door
and look at the cloud that is coming
over us. It is as black as night,
with incessant lightning.”
Just then we both noticed a pecu
liar wailing sound. The wind was
moaning—a very peculiar moan that
I always noticed in the approach of
other storm clouds like the one
which I am now recalling. We be
gan to barricade the doors, and di
rectly we were in the midst of It.
The grove of large native oaks in
front of the dwelling attracted our
notice first. The trees were green
with young leaves, and we could
hear the crashing as they were up
rooted. Then there came a big
crash. We were almost certain
that the long “L’’ In the rear of our
house had been completely crushed
by a fallen tree. We were in a
front room and had all our united
efforts could do to keep the inside
door closed.
The big oak in the rear missed the
dwelling and destroyed the “meal
house,” where we stored wood and
meal and such like. It made a stun
ning noise, and as there were more
oaks in the backyard we expected
more to fall every second.
There were five of them prostrate
when we were able to look out, with
a lantern, about midnight.
The wind was heavier about a
mile from us. It passed through a
big orchard—and cut a path clear
through—leaving nothing green as
it went on. *
In February, 1884, we had another
experience. The day was exactly
like last Sunday. Torrential rains,
blasts of wind and lowering clouds
—too black to read print in the
expect you to do the work of a
boy or farm hand. You are old
enough to get some enjoyment
out of the society of other girls
and boys. You show a whole
some, healthy disposition and I
admire you for not wanting to
entertain the young man alone.
It is so seldom I get letters like
yours it is quite a pleasure to
•answer them. I am fond of swim
ming also, and it is a very health
ful exercise. All girls ought to
get out in the open more. They
will have better health and more
wholesome thoughts. I don’t
think you should wear your
dresses too long, they are not so
stylish this year.
Here comesboy of eighteen
years to get advice from you. I* am
in love with two ladies, one sixty,
the other thirty. I have been going
with the sixty-year-old one about
a year. She says she loves me
dearly and I know I love her with
my whole heart. She asked me to
kiss her the other day. Would it
be all right? I don’t love the thirty
year-old one quite as well as I do
the sixty-year-old one. Which one ;
would you advise me to marry?
LONELY BLUE-EYED LEONARD.
Now, Leonard, I think you are
trying to have some fun with
me. But if you are really in
earnest, I think you have lost
your mind. Os course if you
were asked by the lady sixty
years old for a kiss you should
have played the part of a son
and given her the kiss. I sup
pose she looks upon you as
such.
You must bq some “Killer”
if all the old ladies are in love
with you. Seriously speaking I
think your pate is addled. But
if you are thinking of matri
mony, my advice to you will be
to take the sixty-year-old, she
will have sense enough to train
you in the way you should go.
I am a girl fifteen years of age.
Have brown hair, blue eyes and fair
complexion. Do you think I am too
young to have boy friends and how
often should they come, and how
long should they setay? I stay with
my sister and go to school. There is
a boy seventeen years of age in
school. Every one says he is a nice
boy. We are very fond of each oth
er, but my sister does not want me
to go with the boys. Do you think
she is right? Please advise me.
ROSE.
I think you should have a few
boy friends at your age. Most
girls do and if a girl has the in
clination, it is far better to let
the boys come to the house than
to say a girl shall not, and have
her meet them on the sly some
where; that usually happens If
one’s parents or family objects.
When a boy calls tc see a girl,
it is proper for him to leave
after a couple of hours. If you
are going-i-to school it is not right
to stay up too long in the eve
ning. And besides late hours
make one age quickly, if they In
dulge too frequently.
Dear Aunt Mary: I am asking
you for advice. I am a girl age 14,
blue eyes, black hair, medium com
plexion, height 5 feet, 2 inches,
weight 108. Do you think I weigh
enough for my height? I have some
boy friends. Do you think that is
nice for a girl age 14? Miss Mary,
can you give me any information
as to where I can get the song, “My
Little Girl,” and the song, “Till We
Meet Again,” the new way.
Hope to see this in the next
Journal. Just send those songs by
mail. My address is, Mabel David
son, Pineview, Ga., R. 1, box 79.
P. S. > will send the money for
the songs when you send them.
Write me how much they cost.
I have very little time to
devote to running around in
search of trivial things, but I
don’t mind doing a kindness oc
casionally to some nice little
girl like you seem to be, judg
ing from your letter. So I will
see if I can get the songs for
you. But you must have a little
patience and wait a few days
for them. I will let you know
what they cost bee" I will
have to buy them from a music
store here or in New York.
room. Along in the middle afternoon,
the sky blackened so much that I
could not decipher print, sitting
close to a window. This storm of
1884 was a leaping cyclone. It hit a
mountain southwest of Cartersville,
leaped over our farm and others
and “lit” on Mr. Sim Munford’s
farm about two miles from us. It
swept off every outside building for
him and, unroofed the fine dwelling.
A barn, 80 feet long—two-story—
with nearly a dozen mules and
horses, filled with everything used
in making a crop, was razed to the
bottom sills.
Fodder, oats and such like were
blown into windows, as far as one
could see. A smoke house filled with
cured meat was treated the same
way. Not a fence was left, and the
stock were all at large except those
killed in the barn.
Then the cyclone took another
jump and “lit” in Pickens county.
One neighborhood had eleven per
sons killed and log cabins with
heavy stone chimneys were wiped
off the soil. When the storm struck
the Munford place, there was a
bright glare that filled the house. It
was a sight never to be forgotten—
as I saw* the destruction, the morn
ing after.
I predicted a tornado last Sunday
and was in no wise surprised to read
of what it did do, as recounted in
the newspapers.

AUNT JULIA'S
LETTER B.QX
Dear Children: Sickness has kept me from writing you more
fully what Ithought about our plans for this coming year’s benevo
lent work. We sent out $36.50 to Yvonne, and we will hear soon.
I know how happy she was to receive our care for 1920. Os course,
it takes a little time for the money to reach her and our reply to
get here. Above that amount we have in the bank $36 and some odd
cents. That, of course, doesn’t include any amounts sent in since
we began the time for the Jonquil letters. I am just beginning,
as I wrote you, to open those.
Now I am investigating a perfectly splendid place where one
of our very own American children can be cared for next. If it is
within the bounds of possibility I am going to pay a personal visit to
this place next month, so that you may have at first hand all the
information you wish. Lovngly, AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here comes
a new cousin. I wrote to the Letter Box
once before, but my letter was not printed.
I would be glad to see this letter in print,
if Aunt Julia thinks It worthy of publica
tion. I want to say a few words to you
cousins about your letters. You should try
to make them more Interesting. Most of you
just describe yourselves and tell something
about your pets and what you do for pas
time. Now, that isn’t interesting. Some of
you write interesting letters. Grace Craw
ford, vours was good. We should try to
write letters that will interest people. Don’t
you suppose Aunt Julia will get tired of
reading the letters if they are not interest
ing? Now, perhaps you cousins will think
hard for me for criticizing your letters so
much, but I am doing it through no harmful
intentions. I really want the Letter Box to
improve. I think it would be a good plan
for each one to take some particular subject
and write on It. And If we could discuss
Important things and argue with each other
it would help to make the Letter Box more
Interesting. I wish I could say a few words
on the subject of music. I think music is
one of the greatest things in the world.
There should be music in every home. All
the family will enjoy it, as it is uplifting
and beautiful. When I hear beautiful music
it makes me forget all worldly things, all
cares and troubles and I am soon in a hap
pier mood. From
Pittsboro, N. C. MABEL MOSES.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
admit a North Carolina boy into your band

ers and no' sisters. I live in the country,
and like country life pretty well. My
father has a thirty-five-acre farm and a half
interest in a store and a mill. I have to
help clerk in the store and cut shingles most

Inman, S. C., Route 3.
P. S.—Please find inclosed 10 cents for
Yvonne.
Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: It has
been about three years since I visited you
all, but wish to be admitted once again.
I don’t notice any letters from “great big
folks.” Why don’t some of you write? How
are you all these beautiful spring diys? I’ll
admit that I’m living on a farm and, of
course, you already know what that means.
I taught school last winter, but am staying
at home now on account of the sad misfor
tune we have had in our home. On Tuesday
evening, September 30, 1919, at 4:30 o’clock,
God called from earth to heaven my dear
father. He was slxty-slx years of age. My
youngest brother was in far-away France at
the time, and when he came home in Oc
tober he found the one he loved so dearly
sleeping in the little churchyard, never to
wake any more. Cousins, you know not
how sad it was. As I have never asked a
favor of anyone, I’m going to try my skill
now. I want a “friendship sofa pillow
top.” To the one sending me the most
pieces of silks (any colors and sizes) I will
send a handsome present. Aunt Julia, let
me ask about some of my old friends, then
I’ll go. Will Lamaster, of Scottsburg, Ind.,
have you forgotten that promise of hanging
your bat up at my home? I wonder if one
special friend from Waynesville, N. C.,
whom I learned through this Letter Box, has
forgotten me? Old kid, I’ll never forget
you. Dave Pitman, of Frank, N. C., I
guess you are sailing on the sea of matri
mony, you not? Yes, yes, auntie, I’m
leaving. Don’t be looklkng out of the corner
of your eyes. Much love to all, especially
the ones I corresponded with long ago.
An old cousin,
HAUTA LAMBERT.
