‘WAR KILLED IDEALISM IN WOMEN’—MISS EX

; . ■ - ' ;

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—“1f there were another war, women should stay home.” Her voice was bitter. Through her mask her dark eyes held nothing but scorn. Her slender, delicately formed figure in the lovely jade green velvet gown and glowing amber necklace, was tense, haughty, defiant. She spoke with the authority of experience. She was an entertainer who enlisted early in the war and got overseas after the Armistice. Ten years after the war she feels that “now it should be told.”

She has done so. In a war diary of an entertainer called “Those War Women,” which will be published next month, this obviously well-born young person tells of the disillusioning experience war was to many gently reared girls. Even for the purpose of interview, this ex-war worker refused to disclose her identity. She remained “Miss Ex.” War- -“A Lark for Women” “What I have to say is not personal, ” this masked “Miss Ex” began in a low voice with a quality of tars in it. “There must be hundreds of war women who c peak through me. There must bo innumerable disillusioned war women who went thrilled with the chance to sacrifice for their country, expecting to take part in a real crusade, and found war a lark for women. “Many war workers were young girls from sheltered homes. It is hard to realize today the terrific shock they got from coming face to face, with the realization of some of the horrors of war times—the drinking, the immorality. Even when they themselves remained aloof, something in them crumpled at the stark ugliness of war-time life. “I am convinced that though there may have been an element of love of adventure in their motives, most of those war women really wanted to perform an unselfish seivice for their country. They were aching to sacrifice, to slave, to hurl themselves enthusiastically into real drudgery to help win the war. Two Kinds of Winning “It killed something in them to find that they entered a round of gaiety, with late rising, spiffy luncheons, teas, dancing, dinners and little parties—if they wanted them. Their wholesome enthusiasm developed into a futile, frustrated feeling that instead of helping win the war they were entered in a competitive race where they would be considered miserable failures unless they were admired by men. They found that while men might win the war, women just must win the men. “There were many examples of nobility, of course. Many women who got stuck in out-of-the-way places and slaved sixteen hours a day in canteens or hospitals. There were many splendid men who tried to shield the girls from knowing

the terrible truths that were obvious about them. “But the terrible love theme that ran through the war, wrecking the idealism of war women, was that of women who learned to love men who were already married.” CLUB MEETINGS FRIDAY Mrs. M.

Some Reason to ‘ Why Men Leave Home ’ BY MARTHA LEE It’s one thing to “get your man,” and an entirely different one to hold him once you have him signed up on the dotted line. It used to be that a taian, dissatisfied with his home, would take a whirl around, on the side, just to relieve the monotony, but he usually stayed signed up (is chief bread winner and coal stoker around the original homestead. But now, with divorce a matter of voicing a dislike for bread winning and coal stoking, a wife’s problems on how to keep the home fires burning have increased infinitely. The following letter is a warning for those women who think it’s all over but the cheering as soon as they have gotten the platinum band: Dear Miss Lee—l have been married five years. Not such a long time, you’ll say, but it surely seems like an eternity to me. When I married my wife she was pretty, slender and girlish loklng, neat and fairly intelligent for a girl, I thought. We have one child, a son 3 years old. I make a fairly good salary and have never considered myself tight about money matters. Hut for some unknown reason my wife is an entirely different person. She has become absolutely sloppy about her personal appearance. She has allowed herself to become flabby, mentally and physically. She no longer takes any interest in my work. She does not care anything about the books and music I like, which she seemed so interested in during our courtship. She does not care anything about going out with me, excepting to see some asinine movie. And sometimes I think it is Just as well, because I would almost be ashamed of her beside the wives of my friends and business associates, who are so well groomed and sleek and interested in things. Our home suffers from her disinterest, too, and oh, *he meals. Just a lot of stuff, taken out of cans and slapped on the stove to heat up. I thought perhaps she wasn’t well, but this attitude has lasted two years now, and it can’t be that. I never quarrel with her about it. Once we had a talk and she became very angry, so I have never said anything since. But she knows how I feel and makes no attempt to'change things. I’m completely fed up, and Just about ready to give it all up as a bad Job. Do you have any suggestions to make? DISILLUSIONED. I know you hate wrangling and quarreling, one of those meek souls who take the disillusions into your heart, never say much about them and let, in .silence, them just about eat you up. You ought to say something about it. There is nothing that is quite so trying as to see your wife slouching around the house, with her hair straggling about her face. Then wives wonder why men cast eyes upon their neat, competent little stenographers! The least a woman could do would be to keep interested in her personal appearance. she simply feels too secure to be bothered. Complete security is very bad. Give her something to think about. Child Marketers Parents who take the trouble to take their children marketing with them Saturday mornings for fresh fruits and vegetables can give their youngsters an education in itself. The attractive fresh fruits and the interesting looking vegetables not only increase their interest in things that are good for them but can be the starting point for instructive little bits of information about faraway lands that children will remember. Shelf Covering With spring around the corner, why not rush the season by putting color on the pantry shelves? New modernistic oilcloth strips come in live shades, very Inexpensively, and are charming for pantry shelves, and likewise for the bathroom or closet shelves. Waste Baskets The wise housekeeper has a wastebasket for every room, including the kitchen and bath. One very good chore to assign a small son or daughter is to empty the waste baskets each morning before school. This' instills the idea of just why those baskets are put there. League to Entertain Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lindstaedt, 5726 Pleasant Run boulevard, will entertain members of the Irvington Circle of the Child Conservation League and their husbands at a George Washington birthday party at 8 Friday evening. An address on “The American Home,” will be given by the Rev. Homer Bobbljt. Paul Lindstaedt will present “Liebestraum,” and “Sposalizio.” Robert Aldag Jr., will read “Johnny Gets Ready for Company,” and “Old Glory.” Card Party Friday A card party will be given by members of the opportunity committee of the Woman's Department Club Friday afternoon at the club home. Mrs. Donald Graham is chairman of the committee. Mrs. Robert Shingler is in charge of arrangements. Second of Party Series The second of a series of card parties being given by the Sunshine fund of Mozart degree staff will be held at 8:30 Saturday night at the hall, South East and Prospect streets.

MAKING HOMES BEAUTIFUL William and Mary Furniture Places Stress on Comfort

Typical William and Mary period furniture.

Editor’s Note—William H. Wilson, vicepresident of the American Furniture Mart, writes on furniture of the William and Mary period In the fourteenth of his series of authoritative articles on “Making Homes Beautiful,” prepared for The Times and NEA Service. BY WILLIAM H. WILSON Coming to the William and Mary period, we see the stem lines of the Jacobeans dissolving, and the graceful curves of Holland replacing them. Comfort rode in with the curves, and walnut began its ascendancy. Solidity gave way before light grace. Domesticity was the note. Stretchers —the underbracing for chairs and tables—took and X form in this period, the X being arranged in a graceful flowing curve. Chairs had high backs, the top® curved in a crescent or other similar decorative lines. The seats were cane or upholstered, usually narrowing toward the back. Chair backs were carved, cane or upholstered, the shell and acanthus leaf offering the motif for the carvings. William and Mary furniture as produced in America was almost invariably done in a rich, deep black Brown Roasts To get a delectably brown pot roast, wash the meat in cold water, put it in a good hot pot on top of the stove, turn frequently with a big fork until it Is brown on all sides. Then when well browned, put a very little boiling water into the pot, cover immediately and let it cook slowly. Add water as needed, a little at a time, and keep covered. The first fifteen minutes of turning and browning before the water is added seals the juices inside., makes a delicious crust and even determines the tenderness of the roast. Membership Drive On Mother Theodore circle, Daughters of Isabella, held its regular meeting Tuesday evening. Miss Mayme Murphy, regent, gave a report on the annual card party tournaments and dances. Members who have not made ticket returns are asked to do so immediately. A membership "drive is in progress. Initiation and banquet will be held the first Sunday in May. Patriotic Party Alvin P. Hovey, Women’s Relief Corps, will entertain at 2 p. m. Friday at Ft. Friendly, 512 North Illinois street, with a Lincoln-Wash-ington party. Mrs. Mildred Short is chairman in charge. Mrs. Madge Frady, patriotic inspector, will speak. Chapman Corps members will be guests at dinner. A card party will be held at 8:15 p. m. Chartreuse Touch A French blue blouse has a halfinch banding of chartreuse running across its back and front yoke, around the bottom and top of the cuffs and from the neckline down the shoulder seams and straight down the outside of the sleeves to the top of the cuff. Narrow Braid Narrow silk braid, in blending tawny and red shades, work out a pattern of autumn leaves around the circular skirt and across the bodice and sleeves of a light brown crepey wool frockSmooth Cakes Little cakes ice more smoothly if you glaze them over with white oi egg before applying the icing.

walnut. Modern adaptations of the William and Mary style are exceedingly attractive. Dining room suites, especially, in this style afford an opportunity for making the room distinctive. Highboys with bonnet top and drop handles; the dining room chairs with their cup-turned legs, Xshaped stretchers and the attractive tables offer an enticing, comfortable and dignified room to the person who fancies William and Mary.
