to buy her childrens clothes than to
make them, and the husband also buys
his Bread, canned fruit and vegeta-
bles, and other articles of food may be
bought for less money than ii would
cost TO buy the materials and put them
together at home. The tendency of
American life is not toward a greater
number Of servants, but toward having
as much work as possible done outside
the home.
To some old-fashioned folk this
change seems like the passing of the
home. But will any one seriously af-
firm that home is any happier in
which the mother has the responsibility
of all the things recorded in the forego-
ing list of duties than il would be if
she delegated all the mending and
making to those who can do it better
and cheaper than she can? Much has
been said about the intrusion of women
into spheres of labor outside the home
The fact is that the mother of children
Is seldom required to do such work
The women who have gone away from
home to work are the unattached wo-
men, who-would, under the old-fashion-
ed system, be employed in doing all
these odds and ends of household labor,
under the direction of an oVeTworked
mother of family. We are drifting
into state of things in which The
mother will give her whole time to her
children while they need her. and the
woman who is not a mother will find
c0ngenial work to do outside the home,
which will bring in money for her sup
port. Then the mother need not make
and mend all TIE family clothing in the
intervals of caring for the babies, and
superintend an inefficient servant in the
work Of doing the family washing and
cooking. This is a transition period in
the solution of the household problem,
but To the thoughtful observer ii would
seem that We are likely TO solve it Ii
nally in a way which will be an i'm
provement on any European method
