Dorothy Dix Letters on War Time Wives and Youth
A worried wife asks about relinquishing her baby to relatives to work during wartime. Dorothy Dix discourages the plan, urges living with family, and stresses the lasting bond with child and the parents’ support. Other letters debate teen marriage during war and youth’s view of love, while a reader criticizes women in slacks. Dix remains cautious on fashion but endorses feminine attire.
