JANE JORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN---T am 28 years old, I wag married at 19 and have three children. I do my own washing and ironing, all my housework and take care of the children all of the time, I sew for them, cut their hair and keep them so that everyone says “I don't see how you do it.” I enjoy doing this work, but here is my husband’s side of it. He is required to work two nights a week and sometimes more than that to keep a good standing with the officials higher than he, I don’t want him to shirk his work for me, but since he is gone so much of the time it seems as if he could stay with me and the children when there isn’t anything else for him to do. I don't mean that there is another woman for I don't believe he would do anything like that, but he will get a bunch of boys together to play cards or go around from one beer place to another, We live five miles from town because we can get cheaper rent and I have no car, Every time I ask that we go to a show or calling on friends in the evening there is always a fuss or argument, It is hard to get him to take me in town to get groceries. I have begged him to be more considerate. I buy the cheapest dresses while he spends money for fishing tackle, guns or anything he wants, He feels that the money is his and that I don't deserve any for the things that I do. We are out, of debt now
’
we stav here where we don't even have a decent house or a nice place to take a walk. I hope you ean tell me something to do {or as it is now I don't think 1 husband any more and I know with things this way I'll never learn to love him again, A LONELY WIFE,

” ” ” Answer—There is no question but that you are in a very unfair situation and like many men your husband is quite blind to your need of diversion. Very likely his mother was an over-patient woman who staved home night and day without eomplaint, and for this reason he doesn’t see anything unusual in your isolation. It is not, that he is heartlessly condemning you to a matrimonial prison; it, is just that he takes your services and sacrifices for granted. 1 wonder if you aren't too mouse-like in your attitude, Usually a woman in your situation submits to it and takes out her resentment in complaining which gets her nowhere. What is needed is a firm, fair statement of the case over and over again, and an equally firm refusal to put up with it, Fits of anger followed by submission are ineffective, but a continuous, even push toward your objective is more apt to be respected. Some people have a sort of sturdy seifregard which prevents them from being imposed upon, You'll simply have to learn to stand up for yourself, There must be ways whereby you can get out in the daytime without having to ask permission, like a child, There are people who can sit with the children. There are other ways you can get into town than by automobile, even though they may be highly inconvenient. A determined woman Simply wouldn't allow herself to be marooned without friends, without recreation, without money, without freedom to move at all. Where you are to get the necessary determination I do not know, but nobody can supply it for you. JANE JORDAN.
