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 SICK WOMEN HEAR ME You Can Be Free from Pain as I Am, if You Do aslDid.

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! (Copyright, 1920, by The Wheeler 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. .fa j / o | gp I § -‘ M R 1 The absolutely satisfying fragrance of Tube Rose Sweet ||| ||||| M wli j| Scotch Snuff makes you forget all your troubles. r"" x rZI lyll It suits the taste.

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.

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 of boys and girls? I am thirteen years old, in the eighth grade at school. There is lots of “flu” here now.

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. Jayess, Miss.
