The-Mother-in-Law and the Wife
Answer to a Woman Who Says She Is Unhappy in Her Son's Home-
It Is Suggested That She Pack Her Trunks and Move Away Immediately
By Dorothy Dix.
To my mind the
#most tragic thing on
earth 1b the unneces
sary trouble that we
poor, foolish mortals
make for ourselves.
It would seem that
there are enough un
avoidable grief s—
death, sickness, pov
erty, loss —to tear
like vultures at our
hearts without our
going out of the way
to manufacture for
ourselves a million
torments that flay us
alive.
But no. We court
sorrow, and out of
conditions of life that
should be filled with nothing but Joy
and gladness we make misery and
tears for ourselves and those nearest
to as.
Iho beat Illustration of this unac
countable human weakness Is to be
fo*nd In the relations-in-law problem,
wlere people who should dwell to
gether In peace and amity seem to take
a fiendish delight In quarreling and
bickering, although by so doing they
ruin their own happiness and make
life a hell on earth for all about them.
, It is literacy true that not drink,
>ior gambling, nor immorality, nor any
vice whatsoever, brings a thousandth
part of the misery to humanity as does
the inability of relations-in-law to bo
friendly, or even treat each other with
decent politeness, for pitiful and petty
as a family quarrel seems somewhere
in it there is always a broken heart.
In the course of a year I get thou
stands of letters from women on this
subject. Sometimes it is a daughter
in-law who Is victimized by a selfish |
and tyrannical and quarrelsome
mother-in-law who feels that she has
a perfect right to run her son's home
and who jealously resents her son's af
fection for his wife and the money he
spends on her.
The Mother Who Han Spats With Her
Son's Wife
More often the letter is the pitiful
wail of some poor old mother who is
made to feel that her daughter-in-law
begrudges her the very bread she eats,
or a daughter-in-law who setß herself
deliberately to wean her husband from
the mother who bore him. To-day I
Their Married Life j
By KABEL HERBERT URNER j
"By Jove, I forgot those stenog
raphers were coming this morning!
I've got to be in court by eleven."
"And you wrote them to call be
fore twelve!" remonstrated Helen.
"Cant help it. They'll have to come
back again. I'll have word with the
office boy."
"Dear, that isn't fair—to ask those
girls io spend their time and carfare
that Kay."
"But what can I do? Look here,
*udd»nly, "what's the matter with you
goint down there and" seeing them?"'
;'I?" in dismay. "Why, I wouldn't
kno* how to engage a stenographer."
"Tou picked out the letters. Know
as much about 'em as I do."
"But the work—your requirements?
Hflw could I tell about"' —
"Just general office work. Give
ti/em a test letter if yon want to; you
cfn tell if they can get it down and
cppy it all right."
Helen protested that she was not
competent to interview these girls but
In his usual masterful way Warren
swept aside all her objections, and'
/insisted on her being their by eleven.)
"Now pick a sensible looking one
j —not the frowsy-haired, gum-chew
/ ing kind," as he started off. "Not to
/ much face powder, either, and no
scent."
Hurriedly Helen made out her or
der for the grocer, telephoned the
butcher, left some information with
Nora and by a quarter after ten was
dressed -for the street.
When she reached Warren's office
it was with a pleasant feeling of im
portance, and of intense interest for
the interview before her. ,
Fortunately she had read a maga
zine story not long ago in which a
woman detective, posing as a steno- j
grapher, secured a position with a |
lawyer suspected of drawing up a
fradulent will. And Helen remember
ed vividly just how the lawyer had
interviewed the supposed stenograph- j
or.
She found two young women al
ready waiting. Asking which one had
come first, she showed hor into
Warren's private office.
"Mr. Curtis was very sorry that he
had to be at court this morning,"
Helen explained, almost apologetical
ly, "So he had asked me to see you."
The girl, who seemed very nervous
looked surprised.
"I believe you've been in a law
office?" questioned Helen, trying to
hide her own nervousness.
THE FIRST.
"Oh yes, I was three years with
Talbert and Moore. They never give
written references, but you can phone
them about my work."
After a few more questions that
Warren had suggested about filing
indexing and familiarity with law
work, Helen asked rather hesitat
ingly:
"Would you mind taking a short
letter? I think you'll find a note book
and pencil here," opening a drawer
of the typewriter.
Helen knew that Warren dictated
rather fast, but as she saw the girl's
hand tremble she read the letter slow
ly. It was a short letter that Warren
had left out on the desk for her to
use as a test.
When the girl went to the machine
to transcribe her notes, Helen looked
over some papers, so that she would
not feel she was being watched.
She was a rood typist, for the let
ter was well typed and spaced, the
only mistakes being a couple of typo
' graphical ones, due to nervousness.
On the back of the letter Helen
made a note of the girl's name and
address, her experience, and her own
impression about her: "Neat, will
ing, appropriately dressed."
"There're a few other* I must see
before engaging any one," murmured
Helen, embarrassedly, "but I have
your address, and will let you know."
The girl looked disappointed. She
had plainly hoped for a decision.
As she went out the office boy, who
was much Interested in the proceed
ings, promptly ushered in the next
applicant
With the first glance Helen knew
that she did not like this girl. Just
the way she sat down and looked
about showed her assertiveness. She
plainly resented Helen, and did not
trouble to conceal it.
But her experience and her refer
ences were excellent. She took the
letter, which Helen purposely dic
tated rather fast, without a sign of
nervousness, and transcribed it quick
ly and accurately. There was not
even a typographical error, and yet on
TUESDAY EVENING,
have another such letter as this. It
is written by a lovely, cultured, gentle
lady, full of tact and kindliness, who
asks for help in solving a problem to
which no wisdom has yet found the
key.
This woman has a son to whom she
Is devoted and a grandchild that she
adores. She would gludly love her
daughter-in-law, too, but the daugh
ter-in-law repulses her at every turn.
Hhe Is not evenly civilly polite to the
mother-in-law, but criticizes her and
sneers at her, and maintains toward
her an attitude that Is a covered In
sult in Itself.
The man loves his wife, but he
loves his mother also, and he Is made
so miserable by liis wife's conduct
toward his mother that it has seriously
affected his health. The mother fears
that he will die in the atmosphere of
such an unhappy home, and she asks
what I think she had beßt do.
My advice to her is to pack her
trunks and leave her son's house Im
mediately. Fortunately, this woman
has plenty of money, but even if a
woman had to go to the poorhouse
from het son's house I should still
urge her to go rather than stay In a
home where she was a bone of strife
and the source of discord.
This may seem a hard saying. But
when does motherhood over flinch from
the cross when, by sacrifice, It can
secure the good of those it has borne
in travail of body and must so often
cherish In travail of spirit?
And It is the wonder of love that
which we give we keep. The woman
who Btays in her son's home, making
perpetual friction there for him, may
lose some of his reverence and affec
tion, but the mother who sublimely re
nounces all for his happiness remains
forever a revered saint to his vision.
It may seem hard to her to go away
from one she loves so dearly, but In
another house she will be nearer to
him than she would be under the same
roof with him, with a spiteful daugh
ter-in-law always Interposing her
watchful suspicions between them.
Mother-In-I.nw Should Fllrolnate Her
self From Home
Unhappily, there is no panacea for
changing a selfish, narrow, jealous
daughter-in-law Into a broad and no
ble woman who is capable of appreciat
ing the fact that next to her own
mother her husband's mother is the
woman whom it is her duty most to
i the back of the letter Helen wrote: |
"A good stenographer, but think she
would be very assertive."
Helen had neard the outer door
open and close several times and
knew that there were other girls
waiting.
The one who entered now was a
most frivolous young person with a
very large black hat,* a very narrow
black skirt, quantities of puffed hair
and a pert, powdered tiose.
>ot Desirable
"But I—Mr. Curtis didn't answer
any letters except from those who'd
had experience in legal work," ex
claimed Helen puzzled, when the girl
admitted that she had never been in
a lawyer's office.
"Oh, I was sent by the Wilson Em
ployment Agency."
"But how did they know Mr. Cur
tis wanted a stenographer?" for War
ren had spoken of answering no let
ters from any agency.
, "I guess they wrote under some
girl's name. They do sometimes."
That this was exactly what had
been done was proven by the next
three applicants, who admitted they
were all from Wilson's Agency.
In marked contrast to these young
and inexperienced girls, there now
entered a woman of about thirty-five.
She was small and painfully thin, her
rather sharp features angular to the
point of gauntness.
The clothes of some of the others
had looked worn, yet Helen had not
had this impression of desperate
need. No, it was not the clothes, and
certainly nothing that she said, for
her answers were most reserved.
She had had two years' experience
in legal work, and many years in
wholesale hardware. She took the
letter and transcribed It accurately.
She said or did nothing different
from the others, and yet, from the
moment she entered, Helen had felt
the air charged with a curious tense
ness.
When she gave her name. Agnes
Middleton, Helen remembered her
letter. It had been one of the best.
And now, as she repeated the set
phrase about having to "see one or
two others," the woman dropped her
eyes and Helen saw that her hands
were clenched.
With a strained smile of assent,
but without a word, she rose to go.
"Wait," Helen opened her purse,
"you won't be offended If I give you
your carfare? It must take a great
deal If one goes to many places."
Besides a couple of bills, there was
only a fifty cent piece and three
pennies in Helen's purse. She hand
ed the woman the half dollar.
"No," drawing back with a deep
flush. "I —I haven't any change."
"Well take this anyway, your time
coming down here is worth that
much."
Then suddenly, to Helen's aston
ishment and dismay, she turned
■away, burled her face in her hands
and burst into tears.
It was an embarrassing moment
Helen stood awkwardly by the desk
not knowing what to do or say. But
quickly Miss Middleton recovered
herself, her sobs ceased as suddenly
as they had come.
"I wouldn't have broken down be
fore a man," she murmured, as she
turned toward the door.
"No—no. wait!" tensely. "Are you
—have things been 7ery hard?"
The woman nodded. She could not
trust herself to speak.
"Tell me," H»len Insisted. "You
can tell a woman, vou know, you
know."
Bhe hesitated a moment and then
said simply;
"I spent tny last five cents to come
here. I was going to walk back."
Little by little Helen got the story
from her. She had been a stenog
rapher since she was eighteen, and
lhad references from everywhere she
had worked. But now—well, every
]one wanted younger and more attrac
tive girls. And this had been a hard
winter. All the big lirms were laying
off help. The employment agencies
and typewriter offices were crowded
with applicants. There were a hun
dred girls for every position—and
always the more attractive «nd pros
perous looking ones were engaged.
For the last six months she had had
only two weeks of substitute work.
She fiad sold or pawned everything,
and was now living in a six-dollar-a
month hall room, getting her meals
ion an alcohol stove. She had decided
Ito try for one more day, and then—
love and cherish. You cannot make a
silk purse out of a sow's ear, nor. can
you convert a stingy, venomous little
woman Into a big and generous one.
So the only thing the mother-in-law
can do under such sad circumstances
is to eliminate herself. That saves her
son, at least, from perpetual nagging
from his wife, and the sorrow of seeing
his mother suffer from humiliations
and Insults from which he Is powerless
to protect her. Sometimes when the
friction of daily life together Is re
moved it is possible to establish a
truce with the daughter-in-law, so that
It makes it possible for the son to
visit his mother in peace and without
precipitating a family row. But al
ways it is best for the two women not
to dwell under the same roof, and wise
are those who never make the fool
hardy experiment
There are two strange things in
this antagonistic attitude that so many
women take toward their husbands'
mothers. The first is the Incomprehen
sibility of any woman having so little
sympathy toward a fellow woman as
to want to separate her from the child
that she has suffered for, sacrificed for,
and who Is the very bone of her bone
and flesh of her flesh. Yet you see
mothers with sons of their own treat
ing their husbands' mothers as they
pray God no other woman may ever
treat them.
Wlvea May Lose LOT* of Their
Husbands by Nagging
The second thing that la strange is
that any woman could be fool enough
to take such a risk of alienating her
husband from her as to be cruel to
his old mother and drive her out of
her own son's house. A man would
have to be the lowest dastard on earth
not to resent that with everv fibre of
his being, and though he may, for
the sake of peace, let his mother go
in silence or sit In silence while she
Is mistreated. It Is something that he
never forgives his wife. She has laid
the axe to the root of his respect and
affection for her.
Remember that, you young wives,
when you make your husband's mother
unwelcome in your homes. Ten million
beautiful sirens could not wean your
husband from you so quickly, and so
effectually, as your unklndness to that
poor old gray-headed woman going
with wet eyes and an aching heart
from her son's door.
well, there was always the river.
She told the story simply, with no
note of melodrama. It was merely a
sordid, grim story of a woman's strug
gle in a big city.
Helen was appalled. She was
frightened, terrified. She had never
come in touch with this phase of life.
She had, of course, seen the sensa
tional newspaper headings of women
who had committed suicide because
they could not find work. But they
had been only newspaper headings,
and she had thought them colored
and exaggerated, if not wholly un
true.
But here was the grim reality. She
knew too that this woman had had
no intention of telling this story.
There had been no appeal to her sym
pathies, and there was none now.
The office boy opened the door and
looked in inquiringly.
"There are others waiting to see
you." apologetically, and again she
started to go. "I'm afraid I've taken
too much of your time."
Again Helen stopped her.
"Walt," slipping into her shabby
handbag a two-dollar bill. "I am sure
you can do Mr. Curtis' work. Go back
to your room and rest. Get a good,
nourishing dinner, a good breakfast'
and be down here at 9 o'clock to
morrow morning.
"No, I'll not tell Mr. Cutris." in
answer to her unspoken question. "I
know you'd rather I wouldn't. Your
yvork will stand on Its merits."
And then to protect her from the
curious glances of the others Helen
went with her to the outer door and
nodded a cheerful, matter-of-fact
"Good morning."

8183 Peg Top Skirt, 22 to 33 waist.
Every variation of the skirt that givet
the peg top effect is to be smart for the
1 spring and summer. Here is one that can
; be laid in plaits at the back or gathered
as _ may be found more desirable, and
finished at the high or the natural waist
| line. It is made all in one piece but, since
j no material is wide enough to cut it
1 without joinings, the straight edges must
be seamed together and it is the part of
the dressmaker to make these seamings
where they will be least noticed. Usually
the preference is given to the sides. The
skirt is a good one for the tailored suit
and for wear with odd waists, for any
material that can be finished in tailored
style. The front edges are overlapped and
the closing is made invisibly beneath tht
plait at the left side of the front.
For the medium size, the skirt will re
quire 3V6 yds. of material 27 in. wide, 2%
yds. 36 or A 4, 1H yds. 54. The width at
the lower edge is 1 yd. and 16 in.

NEW DISCOVERY QUICKLY ENDS
KIDNEY AND BLADDER TROUBLES
Chronic Sufferers Find Relief
After Few Doses Are Taken
If you are bothered with backache
—or rheumatism, have disagreeable,
annoying bladder or urinary disorders
to contend with—or suffer with any
other of tho many miseries that come
from weak kidneys, here is a guaran
teed remedy you can depend upon, no
matter what else may have failed to
cure you.
It is a positive fact that the new
discovery, Croxone, promptly over
comes such diseases. It is the most
wonderful remedy ever made for rid
ding the system of uric acid, removing
the cause and curing the troubles.
It soaks right in and cleans out
the stopped up kidneys and makes
them filter and sift Out all the poison
ous waste matter from the blood. It
neutralizes and dissolves the uric acid
that lodges In the Joints and muscles,
causing rheumatism; soothes and heals
the delicate liningß of the bladder;
and puts the kidneys and urinary or
gans in a clean, strong healthy condi
tion.
More than a few doses of Croxone
are seldom required to relieve even
