Worn an With .Career May Be Burdened Housewife’s Life Might Be Easier Course for Many. BY GRETTA PALMER Tlmr< Special Writer N r EW YORK. March 14—Sometimes in our turbulent enthusiasm for the New Woman," we are inclined to forget just how far she has wandered from her traditional functions. And it would be , interesting to know, from statistics, how she is bearing up under the change, it is ou:

Cl

private and melancholy suspicion that she has a great many more nervous breakdowns per thousand than the modern man. It isn’t merely that she is w’orkin fields hitherto closed to her—bless you, no! The transition from school teaching to inventory taking is really very simple one, unlikely

do occasion any psychological shock It is that she—if she is unmarried and self-supporting—is apt to do none of those things women have done throughout known history. The making of a home, for instance. has been generally regarded as the thing for which women's peculiar talents were best adapted. Well, your brisk young business girl has none. She lives in an apartment or a hotel room where there is no fun plumping up the cushions for the neighbors to see or in sewing ruffles on the curtains. Her pride in housekeeping has gone pretty completely by the boards. She does not sit down to her own table and cast an approving eye at the sheen of the silver. She does not snip new recipes out of the papers and try them out or have her maid do so. Instead, in the majority of cases, She orders her meals from a restaurant menu every night of her life. Or else she munches a cup of coffee and a cheese sandwich standing up in her tiny kitchenette. Your modern independent woman noes not do little domestic things for others. Even if she is married she is apt to let the laundry' darn her husband’s socks, to do her entertaining in a reformed speak-easy. Her domestic duties are of the flimsiest character. There is nothing essentially noble About being a good housekeeper as compared with a good lawyer, but the independent woman is often no housekeeper at all. And perhaps it is not too mystical to suggest that she is running counter to a very lasting instinct in her sex by not bung one. Lady beavers and birds build homes, and even the go-get-ting female bee has some concern for her household arrangements. The words “home and family” have a certain terror for the ambitious working woman of today.

A Woman s Viewpoint BY’ MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

IN old Virginia, chivalry has budded, burgeoned and lately died. The state senate refused to ratify the child labor amendment and in doing so one of its distinguished members resorted to the lowest form of debate when he called Miss Frances Perkins an “old maid"—and. says he, “there's no telling what she might do if the amendment is ratified and congress passes the enforcement law.” Although Miss Perkins has a husband and a lovely young daughter, and is not an old maid, still we may call her one for the sake of argument. I dare say old maids and the

list of their services to mankind would stack up pretty weil alongside that of state senators. The gentleman of Virginia obviously used the term as a reproach, a ridicule. Upon the lips of such as he, old maid has always been a word of odium. He meant, as we know, that an unmarried woman should not take part in regulating the lives of American children. He inferred that no serious minded man could afford to listen to anything said by a person who never had received the high and signal honor of living in holy wedlock with one of his superior sex. He hinted, in short, that it was impertinent for a woman who never had had a child to be interested in children.

This attitude is quite general over the country, still, and it reflects no credit upon us. Indeed it seems to me that old maids might have a far better right to speak upon the merits of a law affecting children than any man, be he bachelor or father. It was masculine acquisitiveness and greed that has made it necessary for humane individuals to plead, work and agitate in order to get the Constitution to give the same protection r to children it had already given to adults. The very fact that we have had to resort to political maneuers to rescue babies from mills and mines and factories should cause us to feel unspeakable shame. If we had more old maids regulating affairs and fewer gentlemen with the intellectual caliber of the Virginia state senator, we probably would have a more civilized country.
