American Home Life Changed

nm - 49,
The aspect OF home life has
changed. Where are the beeapped
grandmothers Of yesterday Gone.
Instead we find a frivolous, hap
py and youthful woman holding on
to her youth like grim death. Where
are our fresides and our roasted ap-
plesi Turned into brilliant restau-
rants and crab salads. And why
nots One influence has changed
the four walls of home into a grand
universe. 1t IS the emancipation OF
woman. Formerly woman was the
essence of home. Now she goes
out into the world and fights Shout
der to shoulder with man. When
she changed her daning basket tor
a typewriter home life was turned
about. The American home is bet
ter today than any other ! know.
The French home is in the stree.
or else a restaurant. When il rains
in Paris the people groan. Thel
find no happiness within their fou
walls. Home in England IS a wo
man prison. She is subservient Il
her husband. She is little bette
than an upper servant, only she
does not draw wages.
