THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Men Need Classes in Domesticity BY MARTHA LEE Speaking of clinics, which we were in this column Monday, it has come to our minds that a course in how to be a husband and father might not be such a bad idea. The education of girls these days includes choruses in home-making and cooking and other lines of work that, are required of a wife and mother. Presupposing that every girl some day will have marriage as her vocation, those educators who have the good sense to realize that knowing how to live is far more important than knowing how to find the hypothenuse of a right angle triangle, have made the preliminary steps in home-making a part of the schoolgirl's curriculum. Boys learn trades. They learn professions. They are taught the fine art of earning, saving and spending money. They are fully prepared, when they enter the world, to bring home the bacon, be jt a slice or a slab. They have the means of obtaining that home to which they may bring the bacon drilled into their heads through twelve, sometimes sixteen years of school life. But never once are they exposed to a class on how to keep that home happy and intact. They are not taught one lesson that will make them useful in that home. Invaded Men’s Domain 0 Girls have invaded men's domains in business and professional life. They have, in many cases, taken up a half of the burden of financing the home after marriage. Along with their knowledge of household a: they are taught, also, to earn the wherewithal to maintain that home. Somehow 7 it seems that boys have been neglected along these lines. The main reason probably lies in the fact that a boy who can cook, or "help” his mother is a little declasse with other boys. He is considered a “sissy.” He can be hemannish as Bull Montana, he can play football like one of the Four Horsemen, he can fight like Dempsey, and yet if one of his classmates ever caught him weilding a dishrag or peeling a potato, he w 7 ould be v,- derision. That’s all silly. If women are going to share with men in the mairter-nce of a home, the men should share equally the burden of its upkeep. And unless they aie taught these things girls are taught them, they are apt to be more of a burden than a help w T ken fUe necessity for helping around the house does arise. Not Feminine “I'm all for the domestication of men. I do not believe it would detract one iota from their masculinity if every school boy w r ere made to learn how to cook and care for a home properly. If a man’s wife does not work outside the home, it is perfectly fitting and proper that she should assume the entire job of keeping that house properly. But it would be nice for a man to know 7 how 7 it should be kept. If things weren’t going rightly, he should be able to say definitely what was wrong, because he would know. And this thing of being a father is too important to overlook as our present system of preparation for life has overlooked it. A man should know at least the fundamentals concerning the care of children. He should learn the duties he will have as a father. His influence and care is equal in importance w T ith the mother's. Too many men ran slide gracefully out of active care of children by saying they “don’t know how.” These classes in fatherhood and home-making w 7 ould eliminate from the language the antagonizing rubber stamp remarks so popular among men, namely, “You’re a woman. It’s your job.”

New Style Jackets Are Any Length BY FRANCES PAGET (Copvrieht. 1930. bv Stvle Sources' j NEW YORK. March 18.—The I usual agitation over the Paris openings is in the air. Cables have been ; humming with confirmation of I skirt lengths, waistlines and all the | other important details which seemed in danger of change. I Suits were established as short, 1 usually about 15 inches above ground, and jackets almost any : | length and waistlines restored to | normal. Evening and formal afternoon dresses were established as long and of conflicting silhouettes, including j the Grecian, directoire, empire and princess, nol to mention the belted-at-normal silhouette. Sports clothes were declared in- j dispensable, and not materially different from last season, the pendulum swinging evenly between flared and pleated skirts. Sleeves were omitted—long or short—which seems to provide for i all sleeve complexes. Brief sleeves, ending almost before they began, being somewhat new, naturally came in for italics. Everything from wool to cotton appears in sports collections. f Striped shirting materials, striped silk, small checks, pin dots and plaids are included. Prints quite naturally appear and i as usual with plain fabrics or in twin designs. Prints for evening ; are dashing, those for day wear \ prim. Blue is given as the outstanding ] color range and this has added interest because of its current popularity not alone at Palm Beach, but elsewhere. IBeautify Doorways Many homes have unused doorways which are simply kept closed all the time and are rather disfiguring to the wall space. If you have such a doorway, w 7 hy not build shelves across it, filled with books. A desk may be ylaoed in front of it below the shelves, and lo! you have a really charming spot. Such a doorway also may be converted into a china closet by building shelves across it and surrounding the shelves with a Queen Anne border set just inside the casing. A buffet could be placed beneath. Still another door might be made into a breakfast nook by cutting it in two at the proper height, the upper half being hinged to drop forward on to a swinging leg that hangs outside when the table is j pushed up into place.. Narrow 7 shelves across the filledin back may hold colorful pieces of china and glass.
