Claims Chorus Girls Should Make the Best Housewives.

Chorus girls ought to make the best housewives, provided they were given a chance, according to Else Adler, a hiusical comedy prima donna. She reasons this way: “Viewed from the standpoint of the actual qualities that nature has bestowed upon her, the American chorus girl, as a class. Is best equipped to be the mother of our next generation. She has beauty, high spirits, a sense of humor, and Is naturally warmhearted and affectionate. She is generous and sympathetic, and a real worker. All of these,are good wifehood and motherhood qualities. And it is for these reasons, I believe, that she gets more proposals -to marry than girls in other professions. “The reason many chorus girls are not a success after marriage is because they have not been trained in practical

housewifery. Cooking, marketing, house managing and child psychology will be attempted by a number of girls who have joined the class I have recently organized. Child psychology will be useful not only in bringing up one’s children but in managing one’s husband. “No woman, no matter how clever, can understand any man, ho matter how wise, unless she thoroughly understands child nature.”
