WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY

1 Since the war has forced upon the world the bearing of international relationship In all things it Is no more than natural that the industrial life of women should be Included in our international thinking. And so it seems a timely plan which the war work council of the Y. W. C. A. has decided upon. According to Mrs. James B. Cushman, chairman of the council, an industrial commission of American women will be sent to England, France and Italy in April to meet . prominent labor leaders of those countries. The object of the commiaslon is to promote world fellowship among women. The war has brought about so many changes In the industrial life of women and the women have entered upon a so much broader and larger life that it seems only fitting that our women ; workers should take counsel together and express their interest in the pertinent questions. They all hold out the hope that certain minimum standards which seem essential to health and welfare among women may be agreed upon and obtained. The commission will be composed of Mrs. Raymond Robins, representing the National Women's Trade Union League of America; Mrs. Irene Osgood Andrews, American Association for Labor Legislation; Miss Grace Drake, National Consumers' League; Mrs. James S. Cushman, chairman of the war work council of the Y. W. C. A.; Miss Florence Slmms, Miss Marie -Wing, Miss Imogene D. Ireland, secretary to the commission, all of the Y. W. C. A., and Miss Mary Gilson. ENGLAND'S TRADE LEAGUE Lady Rhondda, wife of the late British food administrator, describes Premier Lloyd George's promise to organize women in Industrial work as "what amounts to a new charter of women's Industrial rights." His pledge that new Industries shall remain open to the employment of women, she says, opens a new future for women and will make it possible for them not only to fill well paid vocations but to rise to the highest positions in the industrial world. "But," she added, "they must band themselves together to fight for their future, and the new Women's Industrial league with its annual subscription of one chilling gives them the opportunity."

"Preparing For Cupid!- Secondary Object of Modern Cooking Pupils

MRS. JAMES B. CUSHMAN. The object of the new league, of which Lady Rhondda Is president, is to organize industrial women workers of all classes so that they may Bpeak with one voice on matters of common onncern In the emDlovment of wom

en in Industry. District committees;

are being formed in industrial centers and these committees will select members of the central executive council. HERE AND THERE - Over a million men were taken care of by the American Red Cross nurses In France during the war. An eight-hour day and a forty-four-hour week with no night work for women is being demanded by the National Women's Trade Union league. The employment of women in the civil service is one of the radical changes recommended in the report of the British machinery government committee. Ninety thousand Ontario, Canada, women signed the franchise petition in 1917, and are now eligible and fully qualified to vote for those who are to represent them in the legislature. The five women members of the re

cently selected grand Jury in Quincy,

Cal., are the most prominent women in that locality.

Although eating has been found nonessential since the war, the question is still asked by overexacting husbands, "How can a home be happy when the cook can't cook?" Richmond high school birls have an opportunity to make null and void any such query on the part of friend husband, for the domestic science department of the Richmond school Is of unusual excellence. It seems that this fact has not gone unnoticed for in the knowledge of the domestic science teachers several of their former proteges are now happily married. A small number of them have actually looked forward to early

June weddings and have been known to take domestic science as a preparation for marriage. However, worthy as the cause may be, there are few young ladies that see it that way, and according to statistics produced by the Instructors a great number of pupils are preparing for business rather than husbands, when they take domestic science. A Richmond cooking teacher said smilingly yesterday that most of her girls would be greatly shocked at the "preparation for cupid" idea, and some

of the girls said themselves that they have much more "stable" reasons for taking domestic science. x Several high school girls have con

tinued their food work in colleges and universities, and now hold responsible positions. At present a number of the girls are taking the work with an idea at working toward managership positions in cafeterias or restaurants, and one young lady said she intended to become a domestic science teacher herself. No matter what the motive, instructors claim, the domestic science work has been found to be excellent preparation for the young pupils after-career.

Hotel Chef Given Fine for Cutting Scrape David Musgrave, chef at the Arlington hotel, was fined $5 and costs on a charge of cutting G. J. Germaine, discharged cook of the same hotel, in city court Tuesday morning. Witnesses testified that Musgrave knocked Germaine down with his fist when the latter attempted - to seize knives lying near by, and that his bead struck a projection on an ice chest, but Dr. Zimmerman said that the cut was such as could have been made only by a knife. -

Hctirt snivel Beauty

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am engaged to a young man. He never attended dances before we were engaged, but since he goes nearly every week. The last two were at his place. Ho has no mother. They break up all the way from 2:30 to 4 o'clock in the morning. He never tells me anything else that happens. He seldom takes me any place unless I ask him, although he seems very proud of me and I really believe that he loves me, as he tells me he does. One of the girls who attended these dances sat up all night with my friend when he was sitting up with his sick brother. (1) Have I any right to feel slighted because he and his sister do not invite me to their dances? (2) Should engaged boys and girls go to dances without each other? (3) Was the girl justified In Bitting up that night? THANK YOU. (1) Yes, you have very good reason to feel slighted. If he respected you too much to invite you because of the character of the dances, then he should not have attended himself. Tell him that he must take you with him and invite you to all the parties in his home, or you will break your engagement. A man who neglects the girl he is engaged to will certainly neglect his wife. (2) They should not go without each other, as a rule. (3) She should have shown better judgment not to sit up with him. There was no reason for her to show such concern. Dear Mrs. Thompson: About a year and a half ago I became acquainted with a young man. I thought little about him, knowing he was to leave

for camp. After he went he wrote, to me and wanted me to correspond with him. Since he was at camp, I thought it was almost a duty to write and so I did. After a few months of training he landed in France and our writing continued. But now he is back on this side and I care -nothing for him. His people are going to give a sup per in honor of him. I am invited and do not care to go, yet I want to do the thing most respectful. Please

give me advice so that his feelings may not be hurt. PEGGY. It will be best for you to break with the boy before you accept the hospitality of his home. If possible make an excuse so that you will not have to attend the party. Doubtles your absence will make him feel badly; but for your own sake it will be better not to go any farther with the acquaintance. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please give me the same answer you gave to a boy a year or two ago, for taking something to make him grow. GRATEFUL. Your question puzzles me. I can neither recall nor find record of such an answer. Height can be gained only by stretching exercises or in a stretching machine which some doctors have. The machine treatment is rather expensive. It is given by beauty doctors as a rule.
