Feminine • Greediness as Workers B r BY ALLENE SUMMER ' Are women in business selfish and greedy and eternally working for self-glory and x self-adviancement? A certain boss whom I know says they are. “Women are eternally figuring out Jiow to become celebrities and not just employes,” he tiraded. "A man can come into any firm, get into routine, become a cog, do the daily grind, and never think about making a fuss because he is ‘working below capacity,’ as some fool woman is always complaining to me. “But a woman loks upon everything she does as just a stepping stone to ‘something bigger and better.’ She’ll buckle down to ojjs job, and just as I think she is going fine and I’m through bothering with her, she’ll proceed to ask fo* the next job higher up, or come to my office with suggestions and plans or to show’ anew piece of work *she's thought up on her own hook. “I’m up on women.” I , What’s Wrong? There seemed to be a flaw sotnatvhere in the ballyhoo arient woman #—her faults and blunders. I fought it. said I, “you say that she ■pilly does ‘buckle down’ to each job and master it, and is really ready for the next thing?” “Oh yes, she does that okay,” said ■he grudgingly. “Well, then, aside from the folly it would be from her point of view, isn’t it rather silly and wasteful for you to want to cramp an > worker’s capacities? “Aren’t you a rather poor business jnan for being content with unskilled labor when you are offered 'skilled labor?” Made brave through my disgust, •I continued— 0 “You know what I think? You’re plain lazy, and you resent being made to work because of other people’s ambitions. You yourself want to be a cog and you can’t be if you must think about your staff once you get it hired. You resent befhg forced to work a little bit yourself when an employe brings anew idea to you, and so on.” Not New Accusation This employer tirade against tooambitious, too self-assertive women employes is by no means new or unique I have heard it until I could —-and often do—swear. It is not at all hard to find reasons for women making more than the most of their jobs. In the first place, jobs are comparatively new to us. They are not just jobs—the wherewithal to make a living. The majority of mpn regard jobs At that way. Rather 'necessarily do By do so, for men have “hungry We and bairn to feed” and cannot Be too critical about the kind of job they will and do take. / To woman, however, a job is "self expression,” and “creative work.” Women think of their jobs in terms of their “own work” much more than do men. It makes a world of difference to them whether they plug in on a switchboard or plead a case in open court. , To many women today, their job is the substitute for wifehood and motherhood and home-making which yesterday’s woman took as her job as a matter of course. If it b£ in any sense a satisfying substitute, woman must naturally make the most of it—work to fullest capacity and feel justified in making her choice twixt “marriage or career.” , The employer who tries to transform her energy and ambition and desire to work to the full, into a man’s plodding acceptance of “just anything that comes up in the day’s work,” is a fool and the loser!

Wives Cool to Cry for Equality

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON The National Woman’s Party is still battling for equal rights. A great many people believe that we have more than our share now, and are therefore not getting excited over the fray. A big percentage of this battling is being done by Miss Dorothy Evans, famous English suffragist, who is over here looking after things. These women may be right, but their complaint, based on the fact that men are entrenched in the best business and professional positions, will fall on a great many deat feminine ears. This is because, after all, most of these fortunate men are husbands. The wife of the man who has made good at his job does not have much sympathy with the ardent leaders of this cause, and we must remember that the wives are still in the majority. It is only fair that a capable woman should be paid the same sum for the same work that a man receives. And perhaps, in the long run, this reform would simplify conditions. In a number of cities women are given the preference by employers because they will work for a lower wage If both sexes were

paid equally. It might tend to weed out the wives who now work downtown. We know that thousands of girls only get a job so that they can procure enough money to buy a trousseau, and that thousands of wives whose husbands could keep them in comfort hold the positions that married men need. And so long as men have homes and families to keep up, so lon-' as such a large number of women still remain in those homes and Cave babies, the men must have the balance of power in the business world. There Care not enough jobs for all of us. Some of us must be dependents. So there are two very obvious sides to this question. And although we may feel that the business woman does not always get a square deal, how does the National Woman’s Party reconcile a situation which, while it would help certain members of their sex, would harm a far greater number, the mothers who are carrying on our highest duty, rearing the children?

Ten-Room House for Guests Only By United Pre DETROIT, Mich.,' July 29.—Because “the largest house never seems to be quite large enough for house parties,” Mr. and Mrs. Frederick M. Alger, wealthy, socially prominent Detroiters, have solved the problem by building a $50,000 house adjoining the Alger mansion, ‘By-Way,’ reserved exclusively for guests. The Alger guest-house is a twostoried, balconied dwelling, furnished with imported antique furniture, and contains ten rooms with six bathrooms. It is reached frOm ‘By-Way’ through a paneled archway, and is connected with the larger dwelling by telephone as well. A special corps of servants is on duty. Before guests arrive, Mrs. Alger personally inspects the guest house to see that all individual tastes as to books, periodicals, cigarets and

cigars have been met. After the guests arrive, however, the hostess never enters the guest-house unless invited. “The house is you;s, to do with as you choose” is the only rule governing the use of the guest-house. Construction of the novel dwelling came as the result of. a suggestion made by Mrs. Alger at the height of the social season twq years ago, when several hostesses admitted their facilities were overtaxed. “There’s only one solution,” Mrs. Alger remarked. “Build a house exclusively for guests and put them in full charge.” The idea met with the approval of her husband, and the guest-house resulted. Alger is the son of Gen. Russell A. Alger, former Secretary of War. Clean Straw's To clean light straw hats dissolve an ounce of oxalic acid to a quart of water.
