Own Problems |

By RUTH MILLETT Times Special Writer i THE QUESTION of whether or not young wives should go ahead and have children during wartime is entirely too individual a problem

to be solved by a blanket yes”,

or “no.” Yet women are getting a lot of such general—and therefore worthless advice---today on that pressing problem.

The other day, |

Clare Boothe Luce —who wrote the play “The Women” — advised young. wives to go

& ghead and have

#1 children now, sayi ing that they could do *no more patriotic or courageous thing during wartime.” It will be too Ruth Millett ,.; it wivef are influenced by such general advice— for assuming the responsibility for children is too important a step to ‘be taken just as a patriotic gesture. Before she nobly decides to have a family in wartime a woman ought to ask herself these questions: “If my husband goes int@ the army will there be enough money so that I can stay at home and take care of a small baby? “Am I a big enough persén so that if .my husband should be killed in the war I would be glad I had children—or would I wish I were not burdened with their care and support?

“COULD Tr oh _- living for a family if I should be left a wiclow--or would I have to depend on my father or my husband’s father or the government to support them? “Am I the type who would be eager to marry again if my husband should not come back from the war?” Children in most cases would make a remarriage either impossible or difficult. : Those are the kind of realistic
