Budget Your Time, Advice of Expert BY HELEN WELSHIMER, SEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Sept. 9.—Long before anybody thought of sitting in a tree for the summer, or tuning his life to a dance melody, housewives were staging a marathon. Somebody remarked that man worked from the time the alarm went off in the morning until the factory whistles blew at night, but that woman never asked for time out. But the marathdn is ended now. Women aren't trying to see how long they can work. They've found a better scheme. Now they are budgeting their time,■'exactly as they budget their household allowances. And if the hours won’t stretch, they cross a task from the list. Nine Hours a Day Mrs. Marguerite B. Benson, executive of the Home-Making Center in New York City, of the New York State Federation of Women’s Clubs, has discovered that nine hours a day will complete any woman's work in the home—if she budgets her time. Sixty-three hours is the weekly amount of time that American women are giving to their homes. And they are accomplishing much more than the women of other countries where the time count goes on and on and on. “The statistics of the International Home Economics Association show that the women of Belgium are using from 108 to 119 hours to do the same work which American women accomplish in 63," Mrs. Benson explains. “In France, the time required is from 92 to 115 hours; Italy, 86 to 110 hours; Poland. 7C to 91; Rumania, 102; Czecho Slovakia, 105 to 119; Sweden, 82 to 119; Switzerland, 112 to 118; and Spain, 75 to 108. Budget by Weeks "In preparing a time budget,” Mrs. Benson says, “time must be left for a seasonal budget and weekly budget. For instance, in the summer there is probably canning to do. and in the spring special housecleaning. Free periods are needed to work on this. “Every week has its special tasks for each day, such as laundry work on Monday and cleaning on Wednesday. Periods for such tasks must be allowed in the routine schedule.” Mrs. Benson has selected a mother with two or three small children as the basis of the time budget which she has devised. The oldest child is 11 years, the next 9 years, and the baby 14 months old. The actual budgeting has been worked out from the laboratory experience of young mothers who have experimented in their own families.
Schedule Is Flexible The nine-hour schedule is flexible enough to permit special duties. By doubling up a little on her daily tasks, and enough time is permitted to allow her do so, the housewife can do her seasonal work, and also her weekly tasks. For instance, the budget allows one hour for preparing vegetables—more time than actually is needed. Mrs. Benson believes firmly that every time and labor-saving device which a woman can possibly afford should b placed in her home. Dish washers, manglers, electric sweepers . . . all of these cut down the budget and give greater time for relaxation. Some of the important facts for the home maker to keep in mind in budgeting her time are given briefly by Mrs. Benson: Allow one-hour divisions of time for flexibility. Dishes may be washed once a day instead of three times a day, if advisable. in the individual household. Study motions necessary for each ;ask and eliminate waste motions and steps. Menus should be planned for the week or several weeks. Keep simple books and accounts that others may understand them. Eliminate tasks that tradition and habit, rather than common sense, dictate should be done on a certain day. Michigan iro.i/.4.v HONORED AT TEA Mrs. William P.

Many of their coiffures are adorned with flowers, those of Indian dancers, for instance. Nothing could be more becoming than flowers falling down close to the face. “We have had dark, plain materials long enough to make us glad of the vogue of flowered fabrics and thankful to those to whom we owe them.

materials, not slavishly copied from nature, but by her.” This is what a very famous French dancing teacher says anent flowers on or off printed materials. a a a WHAT does Maeterlinck say in “Ariane et Barbe-Bleue?” “Under our cloudy skies, light loses something of its power, flowers are less brilliant and birds are quieter. Women always should follow the advice of the birds and flowers, which is a feminine translation of the advice of the suii.” ,a a a Anyhow, you will have to have a long evening wrap for this winter, flowered or velvet. And they LOOK as though they take so-o-o-o-o much material! But they don’t, not our way, so you just send that 2-cent stamp to the Dare Department of The Times for the leaflet telling you how to make one of those new big-sleeved evening coats from three yards and a bit more of material. And then there is a simply indescribable cape, which is all bias pieces, which when sewed together, give where they should give, and hold where they should hold ... if you see what I mean. Better send for the leaflet! a a a SILVER, bronze and gold metal leaves, joined together by the’ tip and stem and made to form a choker length necklace, are delicately lovely and unusual in jewelry. And then there are the wooden pendants with little metal figures, which hang on a silk cord around the neck, and are often matched by a buckle to be worn with the same outfit. And if your gown buttons with wooden buttons of the same wood, but minus the little metal figures, who cares? Au Kcvoir (Copyright, 1930. by The Associated Newspapers.)

Interfering With Puppy Love Wrong _ * BY MARTHA LEE Most boys, at some time in the course of their lives, get a “case” on an older woman. It may be the little 10-year-old boy’s teacher. If he gets it that young it is fortunate. High school boys sometimes get the idea that girls of their own age are silly and boring. That their teachers are really the only women in the world who understand them. When boys grow older, when they become 21 and romantically inclined, often there is nothing quite so satisfying as the friendship of a woman (nonrelative), between 35 and 40. She may be an acquaintance of the boy’s mother, or the wife of some business man with whom he becomes associated. Whoever she is, if she is sufficiently older to understand the mental quirk the youngster is going through her influence can be infinitely good, contrary opinion not withstanding.
Interfering Is Error Parents of children who are struck with this passion for the older, more sophisticated companionship of older women make a serious error in interfering. Taken as a casual sort of occurrence. treated with no more attention than other events in a youngsters life, the friendship either will blossom into a real and lasting one or die of its own accord. Parents are apt to attach a sinister importance to such a friendship. Because children take no special interest in their aunts and female cousins of senior years outside of an occasional reference to the weather, mothers and fathers can not understand a boy finding interest in the conversation of a woman older than himself. Its unnatural, in their opinion that he should be interested in anything an older woman would have to say; that he should prefer her company to that of a flapper his own age. Attraction Is Harmless Which, really, is just going out of the way to hunt up trouble. The attraction of an older woman for a younger min is perfectly harmless. Its just part of growing up, for some boys. Dear Miss Lee—l have a son 19 who is exceptionally bright for his age.. He always has been advanced of his years in school and his interests have been in different lines than most boys his age. He has read more than most boys, and his conversations are more apt to be about what he has read than what he has done. He has auite a group of young friends, but recently he met an older woman and he has been spending a great deal of time in her company. She is almost as old as I, and quite sophisticated and cosmopolitan. Because he never has been attentive to girls I have worried about his infatuation for this woman. I have asked him several times not to see her so often, but he pays no attention to me. Is there anything I can do about it? WORRIED. Capable of Listenng Just let the frinedship go its own course. You have not said anything against the woman's character, which indicates decisively you know nothing against her character. Your son has found a feminine companion who is capable of listening and understanding his way of ! thinking and talking, perhaps for j the first time. She can be a good ! influence upon him, rather than the sort of influence you fear. He will be enlivened mentally In ! her presence, and if she is sophisI ticated and cosmopolitan, as you j have said, she probably can steer ' him right on a lot of things. She is : so much more apt to help him than harm him that it would be far best to let the matter rest. So-Fras to Meet Miss Alice McNamara. 1429 Eng- | lish avenue, will entertain members j of the So-Fra Club at 8 tonight at ! her home.
