How Far the Wishes of a Dead Husband Ought to Go
In a Dororthy Dix column a widow is urged to marry again despite a dead husband’s wish. The advice calls such promises foolish and selfish, arguing living happiness matters most and the living should choose companionship over mourning. A reader asks about a salary allowance.

A final letter from Babyish asks whether a young wife should stay childlike or grow up, noting the perils of remaining a perpetual child- wife and advising future maturity.
