THE AMARILLO DAILY GLOBE. TUESDAY. JULY 8, PAGE 3 Like Coddling a Baby Through lit Second Summer; the Smile That Won't Come Off. RV DOROTHY DIX OEAH DOROTHY DIX--What can i wife do when she has a husband who says he mill loves her and also loves another woman, and cannot decido between the two? I have always been a good wife, and my husband and 1 have lived a happy life together until aboul six months ago, when ho became iu- faiualed with Ihis other woman. I have four dear children, and comfortable home, and a beautiful sedan car In which 1 get to ride hut seldom now, as the other woman Is generally out in ft.

fn spite of tho way he is doing, 1 adore my husband, and he assures mo ho lov.es me and begs me not to leave him, but his con- Is ktVing me. What shall I lo? CATHERINE. Answer: When mm get along lo middle life they very frequently have a second childhood and you have lo nurse them through that as you do a baby through Us second summer. If you have patience lo do that, Catherine, you will git your husband back and he will come lo you a chastened man, who will be under your the balance of Ms life. What on earth makes a good nice, house-broken husband, who has gone alone 'or twenty or thirty years being perfectly satisfied with his wifo and his children and his home suddenly the bars nobody knows.

Perhaps It Is some sudden flareup of youth. Perhaps It Is an irresistible craving for a last bite at the forbidden apple of romance. Perhaps It Is a reaction against the humdrum monotony of domestic life that drives him Into search for adventure. I Xoborty knows, but now ana then the most domesticated of husbands answers the cat! of the wild women. Pillars of Iho church turn into anil men who have spent a life.

time ns models all the Tir- Ines (urn into nwfal of Ihe fool that man can make of himself at the dan- gcrous age. The world Is full of hurl, bewildered, middle-aged wives who ask helplessly what they have done that tlielr Johns should have suddenly Rrown tired of them? And what's the matter with John, anyway acting the war he is d.0- And the divorce'courts fee kept busy grinding out decrees and handing out alimony to wives who don want cither. They Just want John back again as he used to be. Anil a lot of misery anrt heartache could be saved If these women conld only realize that the Ironble la lost temporary. It Is a passing mad ness.

John has goue on an emotional apreo (bat be will gel over If they Mill Jnut give him a little time, for be really Isn't in love with Ihe other wo- limn. Hhe baa Infatuated him for Iho minute: She In play- Ing up lo him for all he la worth, flattering and rujollni; him, and making him fhlnk ho (M young and faftcfunting, and slip Is robbing 111 in with both bunds and fn a little while be will be sick unto death of her and yearn wltii all his soul for Ilia good, faithful, clean, hon- ft wife be IMS ueglecled for her. 1 don't say that Is easy for a wife to bo wise and phllosophlca under such circumstances. It Isn't It is as bard as death, it breaks her heart. It hurls her pride.

1 outrages her sense of wifely dignity but she only makes a bad manor worse and turns tho knife in her wound If she revenges herself hy getting a divorce. She breaks up her home. Sho sacrifices her good, comfortable living. She orphans her children and brings scandal upon their name and she herself is miserable be cause, with all his faults and weaknesses, she still loves John, and they have lived together too long for her to hare any separate life. So I think lhat nine ttmns out of len It Is the part of wisdom for tbe middle-aged woman just to coddlo her husband through his second Bum- mvr Ihe best way she can anil wall for him lo get over it, UOROHV DIX.

DOR01IY DIX--My father tells me take all a I can get from the boys, but I refuse to do It, I do not like "boys to make me presents or spend monev Answer: Vou are right, my dear, and I think that the young men of your acquaintance should present yon with a Distinguished Service Medal or npllcl yon a monument to show I heir appreciation of a girl who Isn't a holdup artist. Most girls Bide with your father anil Uiat It Is legitimate for them to graft all they ran from Iwys. I think myself that there Is nothing more despicable than for a girl lo force a young man to spend more money on her than he can. afford to do, yet It is a common custom. Olrls who can walk jver town during the day have to 30 hauled around In taiios at night who are apparently well nourished at home can never get by a reajaurant.
