•* IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS •*
State Meeting of Women to Be Held March 15 % Business and Professional Conference in Hands of ) Alert Leaders. By JULIA C. HENDERSON. Service seems to be tbe watchword and slogan of most of the women’s clubs throughout the country. Friendship and fellowship stand close by and make a wonderful trinity in these days. Especially is this true of the business women’s clubs which hare sprung up all over the country in the past few years and which mean so much in an educational and social way to the great body of worsen who tre conseientlously doing their part in the world's work. The world takes little time to think of what it owes to the women of the business world who cater to their desires and wishes, nor does it take time to think of what would happen should all of the women of the world give up their vocations for one day or even for one hour of time. The turmoil which would come from a cessation of such service cannot be estimated. APPRECIATED ONLY BY DOMEX. A proper appreciation of the time, interest, strength and intelligence put into woman's work has never been comprehended or valued except by those of her own sex who know something of how much of one’s self has had to be put into a given responsibility or duty. It is the linking of the three—friendship, fellowship and service—which is bringing success and pleasure into the gathering together of these groups, who understand each other, and are willing ( to go far, one for the other, in emergency or in smoothing a troubled way if need be. The coming convention of the Indiana Federation of Business and Professional Women in annual convention at Hotel Lincoln on March 15 will bring together such a group, composed of many of the 1 right intelligent business women >f the State.

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income [The Hoopers, an average Americas family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practicaL Follow them daily in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] SATURDAY. “Well here we are now ready for work," said Mr. Hooper as the family trooped down to the basement after luncheon. While Mrs. Hooper had been settling Bettly for her nap, Henry and Roger had assembled their boards and tools from the corner of the basement that they called their work shop and when she cams down stairs they were ready to carry out her plan to turn the bare roo mthat was called a laundry Into what was Mrs. Hooper's Idea of a practical place for doing the family wash. In the planning of the house the laundry had been well placed in as much as it was as far away as possible from the furnace aad the coal and ash bins.. There was n entry directly from the laundry to the yard so that no unnecessary steps needed to be taken. It had a cement floor with a drain with the floor slanting toward it. It was well lighted too and there were two high silled windows and a transom over the door which made ventilation without a draft possible and tbe ridding the room of steam also an easy problem. There was also a small built in closet for keeping supplies that delighted Mrs. Hooper. It was fitted with shelves for the laundry supplies, irons and other utensils ana on the side was a narrow space for the ironing board to stand. There were two set tubs and the Hooper's washing machine had been put in place at right angle to the window so that the light would not strike the eyes of the person working at the machine, and in the middle of the room so that it was possible to walk all around it. Another thing that the house contained which the Mayfield place boasted was a laundry chute la which the soiled clothes j could be placed upstairs and be shot down to the laundry. For nearly twenty years Mrs. Hooper had been carrying a bundle of clothes from the top of the house to the basement every Monday and she welcomed this new labor saver. There was no stove in the laundry, and Mrs. Hooper's first laundry requisition written In her note book had been a "twoburner gas plate." "Roger you put up this clothes reol the very first thing you do," said Mrs. Hooper as she handed him the little indoor clothes line which wa3 always part of her laundry equipment. When not in use it rolled up into a tin reel and was pulled out and fastened on to a hook at the other end of the room when needed. She had bought a hard maple table as a necessary piece of furniture for ironing things that were too large for the Ironing board, and while Roger was putting up tho clothes line she fitted the top of it with an ironing quilt which she j tacked on smoothly. The table was I thirty-four Inches high which was what Mrs. Hooper had found right for her. She j was feet six Inches tall. Her ironing I board was covered with table padding and a piece of unbleached muslin with a j Bimple fastening device which she had I bought in the hardware store that permitted it to be removed and laid away very quickly. Even with the washing machine Mrs. Hooper found a boiler necessary and her purchases for the i laundry and Included a boiler with a i copper bottom, because it would last ! longer and conduct heat more quickly. | planned on Monday to have a tinsmith put a small faucet in tbe bottom I of boiler so that tho water could be , drawn off more easily and with less dan- | ver. She found that the whole cast of i this Improvement to the boiler would be , a dollar. She filled the boiler with a j small hose pipe attached to the faucet. I “I want a shelf put up at the side of | those wash tubs, Henry," said Mrs. j Hooper, "so you can go get busy about that and Helen can tack those cards over the wash tubs on which Roger hag typewritten neatly my recipes for taking out different kinds of stains and which I never bother to memorize because I believe in having them hung up in plain sight for anyone to use If he has an accident and spills something on his clothes." Before Mrs. Hooper went upstairs to prepare dinner she surveyed the finished laundry with some pride and her inventory made out to put later in her card file showed the following: Washing machine (paid for at Mayfield $175.00) Boiler *53.50 Putting in faucet j'oo Wringer 5100 Small scrubbing brush 15 Agate saucepan for starch making.. ’.50 Long-handled agate 5p00n.... 15 Agate funnel 40 Wire strainer 'in Iron Pail .75 Clothes pins "95 Clothes 1ine......... 75 Electric iron paid for at Mayfield $5.50 Ironging board and stand ’ 2.50 Sleeve board Ironing board fasteners..... ‘,25 Prepares History of Suffrage Movement The history of woman suffrage on which Mrs. Ida Dusted Harper of New York, has been engaged for the past throe years will be ready for distribution in April. The history on which Mrs. Harper has been working includes Volumes V and VI of the suffrage movement which completes the official history of tho movement extended over a period of seventy years. The first three volumes commenced in 1877 were finished in 1883. Volume IV carried the story through 1900 and Volumes V and VI cover the next score of years to 1020 when the adoption of the Federal woman suffrage amendment fully enfranchised the women of the United States. . The history is being Issued by the National American Woman Suffrage Assooclation as its last piece of work.
