Great Britain's Housewives Are Working for Considerations When Peace Comes

By ROSETTE HARGROVE

‘i LONDON, Sept.

Times Special Writer 2—With peace aims being discussed on all sides as

& result of the Roosevelt-Churchill meeting, housewives are very much

in the news -again. ! Women, as the Home Secretary

recently. remarked, are doing work

fh this war which makes their contributions in the last war look like

child’s play. Home Secretary promised that in any discussions of post-war society women are going to be given the consideration due them. One question which housewives are particularly anxious to have the Government consider is that of a statutory income for wives. After the war. the housewife may be entitled by law to a certain propor‘gion of her husband's pay, rather ‘than having to depend on his whims for money. Discover Powers

The housewife feels that she has wg to recognition than ever before. She, as well as her more spectacular sisters who are in the service of factories, is actually a front line fighter. As Caroline Haslett, adviser on women’s training to the Ministry of Labor and a cham- » pion of women’s causes, puts it: “You cannot expect to shut women up again in their kitchens once the war is over. They have found themselves new powers and new abilities. The world at large must realize that women can be good administrators or good organizers and still retain their charm.” . The housewife’s interest in the ‘peace aims is greater than ever. So while the war goes ‘on she works Jarder than ever to prove her right to special consideration when peace comes. In a northern district, for ex‘ample, 300 housewives have formed a volunteer land corps to work on local farms during their spare time. These women are being picked up by lorries after their day’s work and taken to the farms where they stay until 10:30. Again, housewives recently set _ the nation’s preserving pans on the boil. As summer fruit ripened, it was sent to Women’s Institutes all over the couniry through the Ministry of Food. There are now over 5400 preserving centers established by this organization throughout Great: Britain ready to transform into jam, preserves and chut- * ney the fruit of gardens, allotments and private orchards. Run entifely on voluntary: lines, this scheme represents a vast amount ‘of ‘organization. Millions of jam-jar covers, labels and cans have been sent out by the Wom- : en's Institutes, besides 1500 pre- : pans and, so far more than 3,000,000 each of jam-jars and bottles. : “Much of ‘the work is being ‘done in village schools, halls and other public buildings, but permission been granted to have the jam

gre not available. Working-class housewives are to be called upon by Lord Reith, of Works ‘and Buildings, assist: ‘him .in the drawing up of to rebuild London. They are tell him what kind of homes they ‘expect after the war. : Build Modern Homes As members of the Women’s Adwisory Housing Council, they alYeady have been helping to con-

uct research at the Ministry's reet The Council, whose chair-

i an the ruins of the old, formresidents should be given tem-

a)

They want a better break when peace comes. And the

. te facilities nearby. being rebuilt

avoiding mass jerry-building such as took place after the last war. Camps, hostels, and rest centers would be organized on temporary bases. -Burst-proof ‘pipes and central heating are first on the list of questions to be dealt with by the Ministry, and investigations are in course as how best to install both at low cost.

8 and 40 Unit To Install

New officers of Marion County Salon 126 of the American Legion Auxiliary’s 8 and 40 will be in: stalled at a dinner meeting tonight

Trim the Budget With Trim Frills

Deft accents, such as ruffling, add importance to the plainest of clothes. So, if you're out to keep the budget well balanced and, at

the same time, make the most of your clothes, get?! hold of some modern sewing equipment and do a bit of ruffling. The fabric need not be expensive and an hour or two of leisurely stitching will turn out flattering results. If you have never used the: rutfler attachment, your local sewing center can instruct you. For. a basic black ‘ sheer, : a threetiered ruffled jabot. of sheer cotton tricked out with velvet streamers; or doll ‘up last year’s print with a ruffled or pleated peplum, using either matching or contrasting fabric. The same attachment makes pleats and ruffies. Even the plainest of collar and cuff sets can be dressed up with wide or narrow pleated edgings.

Amber Is Favored In Fall Colors

The rich browns and mahogany tones of amber would seem to have been created especially to harmonize with the brown. coloring so much in vogue for the coming fall. There is a surprising range of shades to suit ‘every color scheme. Those who like fine jewelry will be delighted with the many novel creations carried out in am-

ber, well-suited for fall ensembles. Many of the amber designs have gained unexpected fire and brilliancy besides by faceting the familiar gem. It will come as a welcome surprise to discover that these pieces are priced so moderately that they may be included in lower-bracket budgets. They actually cost little more than a piece of ordinary costume jewelry.

CAMP UPTON, L. I, Sept. 2— Attennn-SHUN! I've just been watching a squad of once-slouchy recruits from all over the East receive a series of instructions that is turning them, in an amazingly short time, into the

| well-postured, upstanding soldiers for which Uncle Sam’s Army is

famous. ‘And, although the Top Sergeant might be the first to scoff at the thought, the orders he gives selectees during their first five days in the Army" are orders that any beauty-minded woman might do well to paste up on her mirror and follow faithfully the rest of her life. Here's how the Top Sergeant’s orders go: Heels together, please, with toes turned outward at a 45-degree angle. Knees should be straight but not stiff. Pull your hips back slightly. This will straighten out your backbone a lot more quickly than any attempts to hold your stomach in. If you have a big stomach you can’t hold it in anyway. But you can pull your hips back. Now do it. Don’t werry about throwing your shoulders back. Make sure that one is not lower than the ofher, then just hold your hands at your sides so that thumbs are touching the seams of your trousers. This simple little trick will take care of your shoulders and give you time to worry about more important matters. Lift your chest and arch it slightly. Your head and the back of your neck should be on the same vertical axis. If you can’t figure this one out for yourself, put a

with the upper end of it resting against the back of your head. This will automatically. pull your chin in to proper position. Eyes front, please. And now immobility and silence will be maintained. Hereafter, you will come to attention smartly, energetically. You'll have to get over standing or walking as if you were only half

alive. Posture

The matter of posture out of the way, the Top Sergeant goes deeply into the subjects of health, groom ing and cleanliness. The proper way to take a shower, he points out, is to get under the water for a minute or two, get out from under it and soap yourself from head to foot, then rinse. He indicates that no half-way measures of cleanliness will be tolerated. Also that lack of time is no excuse

Fe: the Women Women Listen Well—Until They Marry

By RUTH MILLETT THE AVERAGE WIFE. is her most tactléss self when her husband gets the §eonversational spotlight and has’a chance to tell an amusing story or hold forth on the news of the day. One wife pitches in and “helps” her husband tell the story, confident that it needs her embellishments. Another acts as censor, correcting every small error of fact. “No. dear, it was Tuesday, not Wednesday. I remember, because , . . Still another sits back and makes no pretense of listening at all, She may even pick up a magazine and glance through Ruth Millett its pages, all of which says louder than words, * This isn't going to amount to much, folks.” Then there is the wife who, ine stead of pretending that she is hearing a funny story for the first time, comes right out and says, “John has told that story so many times, I know it word for word.”

2 2 ” AND, OF COURSE, there is always the wife who acts insulted if her husband starts telling a story

new to her. “Why, you never told me that,” she says accusingly. If there is a girl in the story, even though it dates .back before her| marriage, there's likely to be a sharp edge on her voice. Everybody knows the wife who won't let her husband, a born story teller, get away with exaggerating and adding to a little incident -to make it really funny. She lets everyone in on the fact that he really didn’t say or do just what he claims he did." You'll recognize; too, the woman who is, sure her husband is boring everyone to death the minute he mentions anything that has to do with his work—though it is probably on that subject that he talks best. “Now: Edgar,” she says, “can’t you forget the office for just a little while?” It’s an odd thing what a’ wonderful listener the average woman is =-until she marries the man,
