y Page 12 Section 2 Salem, Oregon, Monday, May 21, 1958 THE CAPITAE JOURNAU Ship Your No Good Brother-In-Law Back to His Family By DOROTHY I)IX DBAR DOROTHY DIX: Our domestic life would he ideal except for my brother-in-law. He's a seaman, and for eifiht years we neither saw nor heard from him. Then last month he descended on us. He had no money, no clothing and a com plete disinclination to work. During his years of travel he had acquired a wife and two children, who now live in a distant state. He recognizes no obligation to them and pays nothing toward their support. My huiband welcomes this prodigal brother with open arms; nothing is too good lor him. He has been clothed, fed and housed in the best room in (wr house. He gi'la cigarette moncv, carfare. siwnf';;... rr.o:uy KM? (fi&23a and 5hort' is trcatt'd like a king rather than uuuuuu a man who has dcser(etj hjs family. Fern B. DF.AR FERN B.: Brother-in-law's energy seems to be con centrated in his very glib tongue, which he puts to work with great effectiveness. At any rate, he certainly managed to talk your hus band into a state of moral somnambulism. He's not doing his brother one bit of good, and perhaps you can get someone to point this simple fact out to him. II your husband really wants to make the best of this big brother deal, he'll encourage his erring relative to resume his obli gations, rather than giving him every reason to continue overlooking them. Transportation costs back to his family should be the next, and last, act of charity to bestow on your brother-in-law. I'm sure you would gladly make this contribution. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My mother brought me up to consider gos siping wrong. However, it seems to be the only activity that interests my neighbors. They often repeat things that some other people have said about me. and it causes hard feelings among us all. Mrs. Q. DEAR MRS. Q.: If these malicious people can't pry information out of you, they'll make it up. You can't win. Develop activilies out of your neighborhood, if necessary; keep busy in useful activities wilh nice people. That will leave you little time to be tempted by gossip, or to become further involved with idle talkers. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I married immediately upon graduation from high school and now, at the age of 22, have my first job. My husband prefers to have me home but, since we are unable to have children, I find it boring to be in the house all day. My problem concerns a man in the office. He's quite a flatterer, and every girl in the office gets the same treatment. My husband never paid me compliments, so perhaps I am loo susceptible, but I find myself thinking of this man all the lime. I wear things just for the sake of having him notice them. 1 know I'm silly, but what can I do about it? Evelyn T. DEAR EVELYN: No matter how obvious his tactics, the office wolf can always find at least one dame gullible enough to fall for his flattery. If only you could accept it in the spirit in which It's distributed just pleasantries that mean nothing no harm would be done. Perhaps you'd better go all the way back to fundamentals for a solution. Since your domestic life is so aimless, why not consider adoption? Write Dorothy Dix for free lenflct D-35, "Manners and Young People," or. if you have a problem, send It to her.
