Wife First Is Advice to ‘Unhappy' BY .MARTHA LEE The letter from ‘ Unhappy” has furred up quite a commotion. He was the young man who wrote in about his sad state of affairs. He was married and his wife had left him because he could not give her k home of her own. but insisted that the only way they possibly could get along was to live with his mother. The reason seemed to resolve itself into something like this: He could not afford to maintain two homes and he must help his mother, therefore he was being forced to give up his wife to do what he saw was his duty toward his mo? tier, who had showered him with blessings and faith. And as I have pointed out too many times to sneeze at. there will be misunderstandings between the best regulated mother-in-law and daughter-in-law combinations. And this was no exception. No house is big enough to hold Two families and this ‘‘just one great big family” is mostly mirage. Line Up Against “Unhappy” A number of men have written in about “Unhappy.” Strangely enough, all are lined up against him. Men don't very often do that, do you know? They are a pretty cliquey bunch. Here is what one man says: Dear Miss U>e—With yoir permission, I * ould like to say something to ‘‘Unhappy.” who stated that he couldn't leave his mother lor his wife, on account of financial circumstances. I personally think "Unhappy” Is a very poor specimen of manhood. No real man v ill put his mother head over shoulders before his wife, and that is not disloyalty to mothers. It is Justification to wives. Every wife deservs a place of her own. if It Is only one room. It Is plain to see that that lad wants to eat his cake and have tt. He wants to have the manly Importance of the title • Husband" and the childish soothing of a doting mother. Is Doing an Injustice He says his mother has seen a lot of disappointment in her life and he seems greatly concerned with this fact ar.d cayer to protect her from further shocks. He doesn’t stop to think he is starting his own wife oil the road to unhappiness and disappointment by not giving their marriage half a chance. . 11l bet he is an only child who always lias thought no one could be quite so broad-minded as his mother. 1 m not condemning "Mother,” for I have no doubt she has done everything in the world she could for him, which was too much. 1 am a married man and have two children. 1 have had some struggles similar to those of "Unhappy.” and it is not that 1 am a better man, but I did do my duty where I saw it was most needed, and that was with my wife, first, last and always. L. D. There, “Unhappy,” see what you have done! Stirred up an internal revolution. You know, any man hates to see one of his fellowmen admit defeat. Chivalry Still Lives Arid chivalry is not dead, in spite of everything. Here is a 1929 cavalier standing forth for poor maligned wives, in no uncertain terms. My idea on the subject was to do a little dividing. Do the best possible for the frau and split the difference with the mater. I am strong for tolerance, and stronger for giving every one his just dues. And I think the mother in this case deserves a little consideration. The wife first, of course. No woman wants to feel she drew a blank who cannot even stand on his own feet when his mother isn't there to bolster him up.
