Housewives Lack Time for Sports

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON “Why do so many American women stop participating in contests, stop exercising, once they get into what is known as the matron’s class?” asks a flurried diving champion of Western England, who is over here on Girl Scout business. Well, the real answer to that is that the average matron gets so much strenuous exercise picking up after the family that she is all in by the time the contests starts. Besides we have enough entrants in physicial endurance contests now, without adding the American housewife to the list. True, some of us lose our sylph-like figures. With each new baby we take on flesh and are therefore completely out of the athletic running. But we have our place in the scheme of things. Short on Leisure What with driving dad to his office and getting the youngsters off to school, and planning lunch and dinner, and airing the beds and getting enough clothing together to cover the family’s nakedness, we do not have much leisure for diving and other stunts. Field hockey, golf, cricket, tennis, baseball and polo aVe advocated most enthusiastically by this young Englishwoman. She also recommends hay pitching and weeding the garden. She forgets, however, to add cotton picking which is one of the finest of outdoor exercises for southern women. All of these are excellent in their way. The only trouble is that we can’t seem to find time for them. But what’s the odds after all? We can’t have everybody competing in athletics. For the good of the country some of us must remain capable and fat. The house has got to De looked after and the crack athlete is not so very good at that. Stout and Happy Keeping fit is all very well, but suppose all the women started doing it? In the long run it may be just as well that we are stout and happy. That’s one trouble with us now. We are so busy doing things that somebody else thinks is good for us that we do not have time to follow our own-inclinations. A hundred years from now nobody will femember whether you have been overweight or not. Enjoy your life in your own way. If you are a housewife and mother, you deserve this privilege.

Adopted Child Often Remakes Foster 'Parents \ “A little child shall lead them.” That Biblical quotation is often exemplified in Indianapolis homes, according to Miss Lucetta Chr. JuvenLe Court worker in charge of dependent children. Many times a nameless child adopted into a home will revolutionize it. She agrees with the statement of Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson, wife of the famous artist, “The risk of adopting a child may be great, but the risk of growing old without a child is greater.” Miss Chr cited a particular case. “A young woman living in a boarding house, deserted her small child. The landlady and her husband wanted to keep the baby and sought to measure up to the standards necessary for them to qualify as foster parents.” “First they moved into a better neighborhood—they had been in a very doubtful one. They improved their immediate home surroundings, the quality of their roomers, themselves. Finally, they gave up the rooming house business, bought a chicken farm near Indianapolis and there in healthful and superior surroundings, they are rearing their beloved little foster child into a fine, clean little American. Those people in the few years I observed them were completely made over.” Sorority Meet The Phi Alpha Pi sorority will meet at 6:30 p. m. Wednesday at the Columbia Club. Set Weddvhg Date Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Wolfe, 906 N. Gray St., announce the engagement of their daughter, Annette, to Jerry D. Hicks, the wedding to take place July 31.

MODERN WIFE’S ALIMONY MADE TO CONFORM WITH WHAT “HE” COST “HER”

Bu United Presn CHICAGO, July s.—Alimony in these modern times for a modern woman should at least equal the amount the wife spent on the modern husband. So decreed Judge George Fred Rush when he granted a separate maintenance decree to Dr. Ethel Jacobson Coles, dentist, from her professional husband, Dr. Henry David Coles, skin specialist. The feminine side of the household, it w&s established, had provided her husband with money to establish his office and made other financial advances. The husband now is ordered to reurn $1,500 in stock his wife gave him and to pay her $3,500 in installments to satisfy the advances given to equip his office. The wife’s lawyer also was instructed to draw a decree whereby the husband relinquishes claim to a portion of. Pittsburgh real estate, owned by Mrs. Coles before her marriage.

Coolidge to Get Women s Appeal for Equal Rights Bit United Preen WASHINGTON. July 5.—A new campaign for equal rights for men and women will be started with a personal plea to President Coolidge by representatives of the National Woman’s party, following the organization’s convention at Colorado Springs 'this week. The feminist delegation will leave the Colorado convention city next Sunday by motor, making speeches for' their cause en route to Rapid City. Word of the call was given out here following a meeting of the capital branch, at which the President was called upon in resolutions to exert his influence to obtain passage of the Curtis-Anthony constitutional amendment to eliminate all present legal restrictions imposed because of sex. Miss Dorothy Evans, British feminist, said that English women were confronted by restrictions similar to those in this country. She pleaded for international cooperation among feminists and deplored the fact that the spirit of feminism had not been brought into the international labor office of the League of Nations at Geneva. The only way to obtain equal rights, Miss, Evans said, was to bring the subject before parliaments, congresses and world councils. Dinner Hosts Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Lewis Shank will entertain Friday at their home in Golden Hill with a dinner honoring Brig. f Gen. and Mrs. Dwight E.

< Show ’ Wedding Matter for Individual Decision BY MARTHA LEE “I can’t have a vacation this year because I’ve attended too many showers and weddings,” p. popular young business woman sighed. She admitted that since early April, she had attended fourteen “show” weddings. Perhaps a less popular girl might not have so many such social affairs on her list, but it’s not unusual. “Show” weddings are really a feminine vice. It's doubtful if any man ever elected to become the other half of a wedding parade. But Susie or Milly must trail up the aisle in satin and tulle though father fairly wrecks himself to pay the bills that come after. Wise and brave is the girl who refusese to expand her marriage vows into a "show” wedding just because folks might think it odd if she doesn’t.

Wants Quiet Wedding Dear Martha Lee: 1 have a little problem. Almost without exception my girl friends who have married, have had church weddings. with perhaps a reception following. Now I may be queer, but I feel that I should so much rather not do the same way. , .. ' I should love to be married quietly <my wedding will be in two weeks from nowi and perhaps put the money we would have had to spend on this in something for our little home. I’m afraid after all the affaUfc I have gone to though, that my friends will think this n queer proceeding. What would you advise? MISS B. Have sufficient courage of your convictions to do as your own feelings about the matter dictate. Os course, if a girl, feeling that this is the one big event of her life, really prefers the “show” wedding, it’s all right, but in your case it would be a weak thing lo do. Curlie, who is 17, has been going with a man of 27 who has been married and has a small child. He wants her to marry him. but because of the child and his„ former marriage, she hesitates. Better wait until you are older before deciding, Curlie. Seventeen is a little young to take on the duties of a stepmother. Peggy T.’s beau has left the city, for an indefinite time, but extracted a promise before he went that Peggy would not go with other young men while he was away. Peggy is lonesome and wants to know if she is held by her word. As you are not engaged, Peggy, no such promise should have been made Write and tell him that you promised hastily, recognize it as foolish, and are no longer going to consider yourself held by it. He’ll more than likely be quite reasonable about this, as he surely knows his request was unreasonable. FORMER RESIDENT WEDS AT COLUMBUS, O. Miss Minnie Adams. 33 N. Irvington Ave., and Miss Mary Wilson. 5621 Julian Ave., have returned from Columbus, Ohio, where they attended the wedding of Miss Eunice Bickel and Charles Leland Carlson of Cleveland, Ohio.

their daughters,” wrote Mrs. Catt. “In certain libraries and laboratories of psychologists,” she continued, “and among experts on inheritance, the D. A. R. is now listed as an interesting case.” These scientists, she added, say that while the fathers of the revolution were tolerant of the opinions of others, the daughters declare that “whatever is, must forever be, and assume a petrified standpatness on that pronouncement.” Charging the D. A. R. with distributing a pamphlet in which Jane Addams, welfare worker of Hull House, Chicago, is called a Bolshevik, Mrs. Catt quoted from a letter sent by President Coolidge to a testimonial dinner given in honor of Miss Addams at Chicago last January in which he said he had been "impressed with the fact shat she had given her life and strength to the service of humanity.” Mrs. Catt also defended Florence Kelly, secretary of the Consumers’ League of America, against printed attacks allegedly distributed by the D. A. R. charging her with working for the passage of revolutionary legislation. The suffrage leader defended the League of Women Voters, the Y. W. C. A., the W. C. T. U. and other Women's organizations alleged to haw been attacked by the D. A. R. She closed by suggesting that the D. A. R. start “a real hunt for Bolsheviks instead of bogies.”

Child Rarely Understands Elders 9 Life By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Much has been written about parents understanding children. Who has taken the trouble to explain that children seldom understand parents? Children take it for granted, almost invariably, that they are incidental to home life and household machinery. It is natural for them to think so. They see that there is an inexorable routine of making beds, ironing clothes, cooking meals, washing dishes, and sweeping floors. They are apt to feel that their mother thinks more of the business of housekeeping than she does of them. And they are apt to think, too. that their father thinks more of the affairs of his office, store, or mill than of them. May Feel Slighted It is difficult for them to see that both parents put in long hard days just because of them, gladly and uncomplainingly, and usually silently. In the little time left when tired bodies and nerves need rest and reaxation, children are likely to lesent it if the leisure hour or two is not spent on them. They get it into their heads that they do not ew greatly into the scheme of tlfln^H There are so many things Wfe happen in family life, too. that children may not know. I heard a boy of thirteen say one day, “Oh, mother's acting like a vet her. these days. She gets funny spells sometimes.” I knew that the mother was fighting something silently and alone. The tragedy of another woman had entered her life. She was trying to be brave and strong and keep her home together and the children fropi knowing. When dead and gone that mother will only gpt credit for "funny spells” from her children, more than likely. Blamed Father I knew a father who nursed his business night and day for several years through a financial crisis so his ehildren'could go to school. Bed and office were all he knew. His children blamed him for neglecting their mother and them. I don’t suppose they ever will know the truth, until they. too. are parents Then they can look back, perhaps, and understand.
