Widow care vs widower plight in Dorothy Dix column

The piece argues society favors widows over widowers, praising a widow's ability to maintain a home for her children. It counsels widowers to remarry with a sensible partner, or otherwise seek independent living, warning against living with children. It mocks the older man’s adaptability and suggests options like hotels or Old Man's Homes.
