A SURE CURE FOR THE DISCON
TENTED WIFE
By DOROTHY DIX
The World's Highest Paid Woman
Writer
RE world Is full of women who
I hare drawn the capital prlie In
life, but who axe too stupid even
to return thanks to Heaven for their
lock. They have rood husbands, good
homes, good children, good clothes,
and yet they are discontented and dis
gruntled, and always sighing for some
, lnfatigeble, unattainable career that
. they think they have missed by get--ting
married.
For at the bottom of almost every
- woman's discontent with her lot, her
dissatisfaction with her husband, and
her distaste for domesticity, lies the
C secret belief that the only reason that
she Isn't world famous is because she
' permitted some man to leadher to the
altar, instead of her going In for art,
or literature, or the stage, or finance.
: That's the reason she is such a fix-
V ale and failure as a wife, and mother,
and housekeeper.
1 Ton couldn't expect a woman who
Is dead sure she is an embyro Hetty
Green to treat a husband - who Is a
thirty "dallar a week clerk with much
respect You coulan't look for a
; woman who Is certain she could write
novels like Ellen Glasgow's, or poetry
Eke Theodosie Garrison's if she had
tamed her attention to it. to devote
" her great mind to keeping the baby's
tnllk bottle clean..'
i. . It would, be absurd to suppose that
a lady who' felt that her real mission
in life was to play Macbeth could come
down off of her pedestal' long enough
to sweep under the bed, ana see urn

' It la a rreat city that these women
who think of themselves as awful
sacrifices to matrimony,' couldn't have
cone' vp good and hard 'against the
; career theory before they . married.
That -would have knocked It out of
their' systems: once and for' ail. and
shown them how lucky the woman Is
who has a settled home, and a good
husky man to stand between her and
the world. : .; !. v.-? -V,
If every woman had tried to support
herself, If she had burned Into" her
memory the weariness of loaf days In
which she had stood with an aching
tack and tired feet behind the coun-
tor, or had pounded through the blind

tour, upon a typewriter; it she could

In the world
The reason that the woman who
has a kind husband, who la a good
provider. Is so insensible to her bless
ing is because she has never known
anything else. She has gone from
her father's good home to her hus
band's good home, and she takeB it as
no more than her due that somebody
should work for hei and provide for
her, and it doesn't, even occur to her
that anything in Hie way of spoken
thanks and actuai tangible apprecia
tion Is due to the two men who have
devoted their lives to her comfort and
well being. 9
Of course no tnaa who isnT a cad,
wants eis wife to go about blowing
his horn and proclaiming that he sup
ports hir family, tut a man does like
to feel that his wife appreciateafWhat
he does for her,. that she is nottblind
nor insensible to the sacrifices he
makes that she may dress as Well and
live as well as her neighbors. Above
all he likes her to be at least cheerful
about being marriea to him, and he
naturally resents her pose of being
a domestic martyr.
The average husband gets precious
little out of all his work and worry
hut his board and clothes, and his
wife's appreciation, and if he misses
this last, he la poor Indeed.
Surely it is worth women's while
to remember this and to at least make
the poor return of thanks to their
husbands, for it is so easy to do things
for those that appreciate them, and so
hard to have to do thinks tor thoee
who don't.
Perhaps it is because everything
has been made soft and easy for tho
average woman, because she has
never earned a daUar. or known the
nigh tm ire of meet ins; pay day with an
empty purse, that she hss so little
appreciation of all that her husband
does for her, and of What home and
comfort . really , mean. That Is the
reason that she neither feels, nor
shows any ' gratitude towards him.
That is also the reason , that she
does not. realize how discouraging it
Is to a man who has. done his very.
best, who has. tolled and slaved to
provide his wife with comforts, to
receive ss his ? pay not appreciation
nor thanks, but reproaches . that he
didnt do vbetter sad give her aa'much

But there is one sure cure for the
career craze in wives. That is to try it
The protected wonan, who believes
herself a wasted genius, thinks that all
she has to do is to reach our her hand
and gather in the laurel wreath of
fame.
She believes that all that she needs
is half a dozen lessons in singing or
acting, and 6he will have the Metro
politan or BeUsco offering her thou
sands of dollars a night. She thinks
that If she could breathe the rarefied
atmosphere of Washington Square
she could sit down and da6h off
literary gems that editors would strug
gle over.
If only her husband had the nerve
to tell her that he would be the last
man on earth to put out the sacred
flame in her soul, and to advise her
to go out and put her talent to the
acid test of seeing what she really
tiould no with it, and if he would
take her to the least possible amount
of money on which she could live
while she tried, instead of trying to
bribe her with automobiles and dia
monds to stay at home and be good,
why, he could settle the whole matter
forever in three months.
The woman would find that the
careers, even real careers that crown
Teal talent, are won by such blood and
sweat, by such agony and travail as
she has never dreamed existed In the
world. Let her measure her little
gift against real genius, let her meet
snubs and ridicule and brutally frank
criticism, let her know the weariness
of waiting in theatrical offices for
hours, let her fnd out by experience
the bitter disappointment of seeing
her manuscripts come back time after
time, and you will slay the silly am
bition microbe that has been eating
her beyond the possibility of resurrec
ton. .
And wife will return not only cured
of her career craze, but with some
appreciation of the husband who has
solved the bread and butter problem
that she could not solve, and will be
filled with gratitude to the man who
stands between her and the struggle
that she has seen so many other
women trying futllely to make.
No woman ever '.earns anything ex
cept by experience, and the way to
cure the discontented wife is to let
her try the thing she yearns to do and
find out how it works out In real life.

TO STOP BOOZE
That boore and commercialized vice
are not wanted on this island, and
more particularly near military reser
vations or camps, is emphasized In a
resolution presented to the Colleg
Club ttf Mrs. H. M. Roberts, chair
man of the "war service committee"
of that organization.
Copies of the resolution have been
sent to the secretary of war, and to
local representatives of the federal
government and to officials of' the
municipal and territorial governments.
The resolution requests the secretary
of war to proclaim a vice-free zone
around all military camps by making
use of the power vested In him by
the selective draft act
The resolution reads as follows:
"Resolved: That the Hawaii branch
of the Association of Collegiate Alum
nae hereby expresses its earnest de
sire to further in every way possible
the request of the general medical
board already presented to Secretary
Baker and to the council of national
defense that there be created about
all military camps an effective zone
within which the sale of liquor and
the presence of prostitutes are prohi
bited. We Tespectfully but urgently
petition the war department to create
such zones about all camps now ex
isting or hereafter to be established
t.nd to establish military camps only
on condition that such zones be cre
ated and that adequate regulations for
the moral protection of the men be
enforced.
"in order that such protection may
actually be secured, we petition the
war department to demand as a pre
requisite to the establishment of a
military camp at any place the co
operation of the municipal authorities
in the removal of every vicious resort
in the vicinity and the maintenance ot
a complete absence of such resorts
throughout the period of the existence
of the camp upon penalty of Its re-
! movaL
"We petition further that the war
department adopt as & part of its po
licy of moral sanitation not merely
the prevention of the spread of ven
ereal disease, but the prevention of
prostitution; and that the enforcement
of regulations to this end be not left
to the discretion of individual com
manders, bnt that uniform procedure
be established through military order
from headquarters."
