Kitchen Job Still Grows in Disfavor r ! BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON ' In Denver, "the employment agent, teho is a woman, says that it is becoming more and more difficult to find girls who are willing to enter domestic service. They prefer to work in stores and factories at a lower wage than to go into another woman’s kitchen. As it* is in Denver, so it is everywhere. This state of affairs has been creeping up on us for several decades. There is no need to disguise the fact that domestic work now holds the lowest place in the list of feminine labor. Regarded as Drudge This is partially true because of the state of mind of the woman who does the employing. She looks down on the girl whom she hires as a menial, notwithstanding the fact that she herself is generally only one notch removed from the kitchen and its environs. She seldom treats her cook as a sister should be treated, but regards her as mere drudge who does not deserve the consideration one human being owes to another.' It is a bitter thing to say, but true, that much of the difficulty which women find in procuring good domestic help is due to their own fault. Then, too, is there not some peculiar ignominious influence that emanates from the kitchen? Hires Cook First The first thing a woman does When her husband begins to make enough money to enable her to do so, is to hire a cook. Wives who do their own housework are nearly always pitied. Although a woman may love to cook she fears the opinion of her neighbors if she continues to do so after she has attained even a smalll measure of prosperity. Something is wrong with our system of thinking. If we are to consider housework a noble calling and worthy of our most-profound study, we are going to have to change our viewpoint. And this thing, too, we must consider. Kitchen work is drudgery of the most tiresome and uninteresting kind. Here is the first reason why we hate it so. Secondly, the men have always evaded and scorned it. And you know, these days, we do try to be like the men. We are up on our toes all the time trying our level best to do everything they do as well as they do. No wonder the housework of the nation has suffered. It will continue to do so Until women find out that men’s work, too, is not all beer and skittles.

Newest Hat Hides Face

Bv Untied Press LONDON, July I.—The hat that leaves you guessing—this is the latest fashion for women. And it is catching on, too, if only because it adds to the description of women as “mysterious creatures”-,-a, characteristic which they love to maintain. The main point about the new fashion is that most of the owner's features entirely concealed. It matters very little whether the brim is a wide spreading one, or one of those shaped like a wide spreading one, or one of those shaped like a bell tent. The result is the same. A month, enlivened by the particular shade of red the owner fancies for her lipstick, is almost the only clew to the identity a woman fashionable dressed for out-of-doors supplies to an admiring and curious world. The fashion has its**awkward aspect. It is true that Adam is not expected to raise his hat until Eve volunteers some sign of recognition; on the other hand

there are occasions when it might be disconcerting for him to make a hasty snatch at his hat as if taken unawares, so to speak.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Investigate 'Films Your Child Sees EDITOR’S NOTE: A strictly modern question, the Influence of the cinema upon children. Is discussed by Olive Roberts Barton In this article. It is the next to last of her series on THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ON CHILD TRAINING appearing exclusively in The BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Every night of the year except Sunday, and in some places on Sunday also, hundreds of thousands of children are sitting watching the movies, drinking in the things they teach, trying to adjust themselves to a code of ethics that is almost invariably in conflict with the moral principles they learn at home. Things told by story or picture stay with us longer than things'told by commandment or precept. Home training, being too largely abstract, can not stand up in a showdown with the movie influence. We say, "Thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not k|ll, and thou shalt not ocmmit adultery.” * Then off goes the child with his dime, given by the same parent who had taught him his commandment, to see his favorite do all three. To the mature mind, the involved plot may make these things justifiable. The grown-up can read the captions. Besides, if two and two have to make five, there is no great disaster in his character make-up. He is past the plastic age. But to the child

black is black and white is white. He knows only what he sees. Character Formed Early True, not a great number of children under 5 go to movies. And character traits are formed before five. Not to go into psychology too deeply—what the child is will take place before five. But all years of youth and > adolescence are formative as to action. He will learn in these years license or control. Many movies are good for him to see. Good straight adventure is splendid. Love stories won’t hurt him if love is incident and not an incentive. The sex 'idea should never be emphasized to children. It is ridiculous for parents to think that the prurient play goes over their heads. It doesn’t always by any means. Few Movies Best f|yery picture a child sees should be investigated first and the parent satisfied that *it is the right sort. Then Tie should be sent very early in the evening so as not to interfere with bedtime, or on Saturday afternoon during school term. A very few movies should go a great way. A child’s education will not be neglected if he never sees any at all. Eventually, and I hope very soon, we shall have children’s movies where they may see pictures adapted especially for children. Movies could be made the greatest educational medium in the world. I have a hobby. It is teaching geography and history by putting the world and world events on the screen. Wouldn’t it be fascinating! Children’s classics ( clean adventure, fairy tales! That is what chil"dren should see in the movies.

LOVE UNDER MOON RARELY 18-CARAT PROPOSITION

BY MARTHA LEE This is the open season for romance. More airy nothings will be propounded under summer moons in the next three months than in all of the rest of the yea? put together. Love that comes so quickly usually stays but a short time and the solitaire forced into being under the influence of Luna’s beams seldom stays an 18-karat proposition. So be careful, girls. Don’t try to ir ake a devoted suitor out of every dancing partner that comes your way; don’t take your own summer attractions too seriously. Enjoy your vacation and your friendships, but don't try to make “him” pop the question until cooler weather.

Which Kind of Vacation? Dear Martha Lee: I am a working: girl and I have saved up tIOO for my vacation. Now. If I go to a summer resort, the money will only last a week, but 1 can take two weeks in a quiet place I know of and have money left. Which'vacation shall I take? To teU the truth, the former has only appealed to me because I thought I might meet some dandy young men. I love to dance and have a good time and who knows but my ideal young man might be there? Do you think this is silly? MADGE R. Well, perhaps not exactly silly, Mfedge. but a little bit impractical. Even if desirable young men were standing around thick at the fashionable summer resort, you couldn’t make very deep or important acquaintances in one week’s time. I should think you would need rest and change after your year’s work, so I would advise the quieter, cheaper place. Besides, who knows, that-ideal young man you are looking for may happen to pop down at the same place! Fair Play Needed Dear Martha Lee: I hava been going steadily with a girl for over a year. During this time I have tried hard to please

her. I have quit going with other girls for her sake, but she has had other company. Whenever I ask here to go any place. I have to wait until the last minute and the answer Is then usually “no." It’s all right If I call her but she never thinks of calling me. I love her dearly, but I don’t feel like playing the part of a sap. What should I do? PUZZLeD We have to be just to ourselves in this world as well as Just to others. You have done too much for her. Some natures take advantage of such treatment. Make her know that you will not continue along present lines. If you are firm and make her respect you, you’ll find she’ll act entirely different. He Talked About Her Dear Martha Lee: I went with a fellow I dearly loved for over a year. Then ve quarreled and he went away with a young man friend. About three weeks ago he came back. We have had several dates but Miss Lee. I have been troubled because I have heard that he told that man friend some things about me. Everyone savs that he loves me, but can this be true If he does not keep confidence and has talked about me? I really love him. but wonder If I should not see him any more because of this? BIRDIE.
