WOMEN'S WORLD
FOR OUR LADY READERS.
YOUR CHILDREN.
(By Olive Roberts Barton.]
There is much discussion of train- ing girls for marriage and the care of families. But we seldom hear anything mentioned about the boys.
Yet it seems to me that a boy who expects to grow up and as- Bumo the responsibilities of n household needs quite as much training for it as a girl.
We know that many husbands are heupecked, that is, ruled by stronger-willed women, but I think that if we were to go into statis- tics we should find it mostly the other way around. And even have to stronger-willed women give in to a sulky child of a hus- hand sometimes. But it is not all together a matter of one or the other being stronger-willed. Sup- pose both are weak, trying to lean on each other. This is often the case and a result of early mother- fixation that transfers itself someone else upon marriage.
Suppose we take just such a boy who has been panpered and fussed over by his mother for years, it the expense of his own develop- ment. Üc marries then what happens? He isn't strong enough to take the helm and safely direct the home ship. Instead he expects all the comforts and as few of the i responsibilities as possible in his new domestic life.
