what 18 a woman's ' : ; business? , T cant understand it, Janet. , It seems folly to me. Men's business is to take 'care 'of their wives and women's business Is to take care of tbe home." -fX-s :':.'"" - The speaker was Beth Woodford, a cousin of the Temples, and, through them, a more " or less Intimate acquaintance' of the Stedmans. One never somehow thought of Mrs. Woodford as "an intimate friend.". She intended her. caustic, criticisms to be friendly. They were invariably designed : for some one's ."good." But they always left her victim ruffled, discouraged or angry, according to her disposition. . "You might as ' well say," replied Janet, holding her resentment in leach "that men's work is hunting and fishing and fighting. It used to be. - But civilization has given men other things to do things that used to be done by women. Why shoud women not reach out after new things -to do?" "Oh, that kind of talk always bores me!" said Beth. "Here you are, toiling as David Temple's secretary, coming home tired at night, never having time to enjoy your home, not taking time - to think out and buy pretty clothes. Never anything but work, work, work! . You'd be a great deal better off like Cora Temple with a house and a baby!" y "Cora Temple's husband has ten thousand a year.. Mine has barely twenty-five hundred,", said Janet- "I see no reason why we should live on Walter's salary when, by doing1 work I like and am fitted for, we can have more than twice that to live upon." "You could keep a very nice little home on twenty-five hundred," replied Mrs. Woodford, whose husband's law
ausia
practice netted him , that much a month. "Plenty of couples who make quite a showing live on twenty-five hundred." y; ; 7 v "Yes and how .the wife has to work in order to keep down expenses! Talk about being tired there's nothing like the housework inside four walls to make you tired. Because it cot only tires your body but your soul. Oh, don't talk io me, Beth, about a man's work and a woman's work. - Who's to say which is' which? Do I inherit Only the household talents of my mother? Don't I also Inherit the busi
ness mind of my father? Suppose I had been born a boy instead of a girl, would that have guaranteed that I would been a good engineer? No a boy might be like hj3 mother and love beautiful things and fine clothes and poetry and music. But it woud not be a man's work to follow dressmaking 'or writing poetry. And so thousands of. boys have to be sent into trades they hate and aren't fitted for. 1 And 'thousands of girls have to be kept at housework and sewing when they could be architects and lawers and . doctors and businesswomen. Look around you, Beth, and see what successes women are making'in the world doing things they like to do, useful, splendid and developing things!" ., Beth Woodford sniffed. "Oh, yes, I see them, Janet discontented, masculine creatures, not knowing that they really long for husbands and babies and care. Everything's at sixes and sevens nowadays." "You mistake upheaval for discontent," Janet retorted. - ''You think the sixes and sevens are signs of catastrophe when they are only proofs of
progress. We have to tear down In order to build up." "I thould think you'd long for a little social life and, maybe, a baby or two, like Cora Temple That is a woman's business." ' "But not necessarily that alone." persisted Janet refraining from pointing out Beth's own childlessness. "In good time that, too, may be my business."- ; , . "You can't do both." snapped Beth. Janet smiled. "Can't 1?" she said, and changed the subject. (To be continued.)
National Conference of Brethren Church in June The annual national conference of the Church of the Brethren will be held at Winona Lake. June 4-13. Between 50,000 and 60,000 persons will attend. ' .

Stage Hands' Union Not Included in Strike List The stage hands union is not included in the list of those that would be affected by a general strike, if one should be called her, as was stated Saturday. Tbe stage hands are under contract with their employers.
Eighteen Men Let Out . at Simplex, Factory Eighteen men were let out at the Simplex Tool company last week because of the lack of employment. Readjustment of conditions in the plant made this necessary, it was announced today. The plant was on war work during the period of the war.
PROTEST AGAINST sioay r.:oviss Petitions to be signed by persons opposing a bill legalising moving picture, shows and theatrical performances on Sunday, which may be Introduced In the general assembly, have been sent to the churches by the Rev. Edgar L. Williams, executive secretary of the Church Federation of Indiana. The signed petitions will he presented to the members of the general assembly. In the letter accompanying the petitions, Mr. Williams among other things says: ;
"There are many hundreds oi smau towns in the state where the big. popular nleht tnr thA nicturn show ifl Sat
urday. This Is satisfactory both to
tbe business men ana io me ianner. who come in on Saturday night to trade at the stores. To put this over to Sunday night would be displeasing to both business men, who want tbe farmers' trade, and to the church people, who believe the Sabbath was given for religious worship as well as for rest. "There are many large county towns also having motion picture shows every other day of the week and which do not desire them on Sunday, whether censored or not censored. The Church Federation of the stato, with this state constituency, thlaks it only Just to allow this large population outside of Indianapolis, as well as inside the city, the privilege of speaking, by petition to the lawmaking body, on the subject of a Change to legalize such shows in their, towns and counties, when in nytny . cases their preference is for week-day shows only; nor should they be forced, by a new law they do not desire to open up local option fights when the present law is sufficient to give protection for whot they now have and prefer, a week-day show only."'
Dr. Edwards Speaks at Fellowship Meeting
Pr. David M. Edwards of Earlham College was the principal speaker in a series of fellowship meetings at' the First Friends church in Indianapolis last week. X ' "The influence of . society, occupation or vocation, education and religion arc the four principal developers of personality,". Dr. Edwards said. "It is impossible to develop a normal personality that, will be ; universally ac
cepted by the world without associa- i
tion with God. Man in his normal; sphere is .related to his , Maker, and !
any one who tries to be independent of that sphere is not fitted to carry on the tasks of the world." . Professor Alexander Purdy, of Earlham college, spoke today in "The Call of the World." .. "As individuals," he said, "Christians seldom doubt the power of God with reference to their individual selves, but they sometimes doubt His power in the entire world. This doubt is the challenge to the Christian woiid- and li is our duty to carry forward the work of convincing the world tiiat tho Bible and lt3 tcachugs are icuiit for "all."' ' ' ''
