World Herald of Sunday. Following
is the interview with Mias Mullen as
it appeared Sunday:
Of the 128 cases that have passed
under her supervision as a worker in
the domestic relations section of the
Public Welfare board since June 1,
Miss Marne Mullen attributes the
causes of trouble to extravagance on
the wife’s part, non-support on the
husband’s part, and general lack of
patience, common sense, and willing
ness to play fair.
“Marriages certainly are not made
in heaven,' conceded Miss Mullen,
when interviewed on her work. “At
least, tho3e that have come under my
supervision were not, for the parties
allowed in many cases the most trival
natters to disrupt their home life.
In one case the wife was enraged be
cause her husband had talked to an
other woman over the telephone dur
ing her absence from home. The ag
grieved wife clamored for a divorce,
but wa3 pacified when she was di
rected to an attorney, and heard the
fee required to obtain her freedom.
Then she bagan to find solace, and
eventually ‘made up’ with her spouSe
iwho had talked on the ‘phone,” said
Miss Muilen.
Miss Mullen is particularly well
equipped by education to advise dis
couraged wives and dissatisfied hus
bands. She was formerly head of the
home economics department at the
State Normal school, Peru, Neb., and
knows at first hand the value of home
making work, as making one’s clothes,
learning to cook, proper care of the
sick, care of infants, following the
budget system or having an allowance
for the housewife, and maintaining
system in housekeeping. She has con
siderable knowledge of the law, and is
a practical business woman herself,
all of which afford her basis for judg
ment and sympathetic understanding.
Miss Mullen, who is a sister of
Arthur F. Mullen, prominent attorney,
lives with her mother, Mrs. Emily
Mullen, at Benson. As a side ljne
Miss Mullen raises high bred hogs.
"It’s strange what some men pick
out for a wife, a frivolous thing with
thin silk hose and low shoes in 38
degrees belohv zero weather, and then
expect her to have good health, know
how to keep house, and be an all
around sensible manager and good
cook,” says Miss Mullen. “When one
or the other party brings a complaint.
I listen carefully to the tale of woe,
study the type of person, and call in
the other party to get the other side
of the story. I visit homes to get the
domestic ‘atmosphere,’ and then ad
vise them both to cultivate patience,
to have a.bit of system in their home
keeping, and for the man to give his
Wife ap allowance. The wife should
make it her business to purchase
household articles and food, under
stand prices and values, and take the
burden of marketing off her husband
as much as possible. Marriage is
truly a fifty-fifty job, and women
should be willing to do their share.”
“While it -is a case of fifty-fifty,
woman’s inefficiency, and man’s irre
sponsibility, which bring people into
the domestic relations court, I detect
specific causes which could be rem
edied, if they Would exercise a bit of
self-restraint and judgment,” declares
Miss Mullen. “Practically all our
cases are among Omaha people, hence
they are accustomed to conditions of
city life. Too often the wife allows
backdoor gossip to influence her
against her husband and her home con
ditions. She tells too much of her own
private affairs. Ordinarily the man
does not talk freely, of. his family af
fairs with neighbors, but he hears the
gossip, resents it, and more trouble
results.
“One very pronounced cause ot
martial touble is the poor health of
the wife, and in many cases I find this
due to lack of good common sense,”
says Miss Mullen. “Many a woman,
clamoring for divorce ahd believing
divorce to be a panacea for all her
troubles, tells me that she does not get
up at regular hours, prepares no
breakfast for her husband, and eats
no suitable food herself. I am not one
who believes the human body can per
form its work without proper nourish
ment at regular intervals. The body
is a machine that must have proper
care to function properly. Women who
fail to prepare good meals for their
husbands are slackers, and have no
'just cause for complaining when their
husbands seek good flood elsewhere.
Too often we find that men use liquor
to excess in cases where they do not
have good food.”
Of the 128 cases which have come
before her, Miss Mullen has had only
one woman who was an habitual
drinker, and she was the mother of six
children. This woman’s condition was
attributed by her husband to bad com
panions. In every case the mother has
demanded custody of the children.
Miss Mullen finds- that religioius
differences make litrtje trouble. “I
am convinced that a bit of real religion*
would go far to solve their troubles,”
she says. “Difference in nationality,
however, has caused considerable
trouble in married life, especially since
the world war,” admits Miss Mullen.
“I recall a German husband and an
Irish Wife, and other combinations that
were equally perplexing.”
Miss Mullen is a firm believer in
woman’s place in the business World
but she speaks in no uncertain terms
of the husband who wants his wife
to "get to work and support herself,”
as some of the men in domestic rela
tions court demand of their wives.
“Woman’s brain is. just as keen as
that of a man, and if a woman wants
to work, I think she should, either to
support herself or as a means of self
expression. I am heartily in favor of
business training for woman, not
merely as a means to making a living,
but for the (wholesome effect it has on
the mental outlook and the physical
health. Women with definite training
are ready, when emergencies arise, to
take care of themselves and their de
pendent families. This does not sig
nify that a man who marries a girl
should be a slacker, that he would
want his wife to keep on supporting
herself. I tell men that they must
support their families and give the
mother a chance to care for her
_-U.
_ /
children, All cases coming; into our
court involve the care of children.
“In these days of high priced and
many persons out of work, we can
help most by referring cases of ill
lealth to the Visiting Nurse assoeia
,ion, encourage the husband and wife
» keep their little home going, and
lave patience with each other, until
;he general business situation is re
lieved. We co-operate with oth«r de
partments of public welfare to find
employment, and generally comfbrt
those who seek our advice,” says Miss
Mullen.”
