Women Who Work Retain Femininity Still Charming Despite Dire Prediction to Contrary. BY GRETTA PALMER Time* Special Writer NEW YORK, April 11.—It begins to look as if the modern woman's best friend was that calamityhowling old gent who spread his views on feminine independence all over the magazine sections of the newspapers twenty-five years ago. It was he who predicted that

femininity and allure would pass out of the world whefl the first woman entered a business office. That the stampede for jobs would bv so intense that marriage would soon be a forgotten institution and the old practice of maternity a dim memory. That the modern worn an would emerge, a for-

bidding creature In tailored tweeds and a pince-nez, stridently intent on tellifig the men W’hat a poor lot they were. Perhaps that warning was Just what the independent woman needed to make her swear that she W'ould never, never be anything like that. Perhaps it is an echo of his w-ords which makes her catch herself up, with a slight shudder, whenever she feels that she is becoming unduly aggressive, or when she is tempted, in the rush of business, to go another day without a manicure. For the working girl of today, as you see her on the street and in the subway, is as feminine as anything of the past—far more than twentyfive years ago, when the average woman wore cotton stocking., and went banging about on bicycles. She is as intent on her appearance, as eager for men’s attention and as desirous of marrying. And here is what happens when she docs: “What." writes Dr. L. E.. “about the new business woman? That little girl who grew up in the depression and married her hero, depending on her job as well as his to see them through? She's none of your ‘career women.’ She's perhaps more of a wife and housekeeper than the average homemaker of today—who, often as not, spends most of ner time bridging, shopping and matineeing. “I'm taking for a composite example myself, several of my friends and many of my business acquaintances. This composite woman is essentially no different from her great-grandmother. She adores her husband and looks after him. She's proud of her home and runs it vigorously and ingeniously. She can cook—and does. • She wants children and intends to have them as soon as they can be afforded. Sometimes, if she discovers she can’t afford children and leave her job, too, she has her children—and keeps on working. “Get any group of these women together. Their conversation isn’t market reports, NR A or business conditions. Its’ clothes, housekeeping, babies and husbands. “Talk to any one individually. Nine times out of ten she's up early getting her husband's breakfast, planning dinner, writing notes lor Hulda, the maid, and marketing before going to the office. Lunc time finds her measuring oilcloth and wandering through furniture departments. Four o'clock will find her phoning home with last-minute instructions —and 7 will find her smiling at her guests across a delightfully set dinner table. “And all the while, mind you. she's doing a jolly good job in whatever field she's employed. ‘ This is your modern new woman. Her husband is still her most important boss. She tries harder than ever to be feminine, charming and wifely when she's at home. She's afraid, you see, to become too much the working girl to her husband. She realizes that her greatest attraction still lies in being a woman —and so womanly she stays and enjoys it!”

A Woman's Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

“GAVE the Grownups," says the headline in an editorial in the Nation. The wnter views with alarm—as well he may—the tendency to make all moving pictures safe for children. “What then,” he wants to know, “is going to become of the men and women? Children eventually do grow up, but the state of the adult who lies perpetually in a childish world is a serious one.” No doubt you've all been struck by the same thought as you have sat through seemingly endless films which were simplified to the point of complete witlessness, and created evidently for those who couldn't make it through the fifth grade. Still, it seems to me. It is not the infant attitude we need fear. It's the adolescent one into which we have somehow gotten. Curiously enough, the good things that are done for children—books, pictures, songs—are also entertaining and amusing for grownups. Witness the instantaneous success of “The Three Little Pigs” and “Mickey Mouse.” Children are sensible beings, quite level-headed, and their humor is quick and broad. They live in a real world and occupy themselves with actual, tangible amusements. It is the interlude between childhood and the grown up period that is so unreal, and, as a permanent pose, so dangerous. The continued adolescent approach to life—well, it may be great fun in itself, but it does

keep the world and all our affairs in a dreadful state. The idea, for instance, is prevalent in moving pictures that if passion has waned the tenth of a degree, husband and wife shouldn't be expected to live together. There's another idea even more dangerous for the girls—the idea that men are forever preoccupied with wo^en. Truth compels us to disillusion the maidens on this point, although most of them. I feel sure, realize its falseness. The fact is that men, even young men, do not spend hours brooding over the favorite Fair, nor ache with love in their offices. The feminine invasion of the business world has taken away much of the mystery and glamor from the girls. They’re just competitors now.
