There seems but answer possible.
Few women who elect or are forced into

few care to. Most women really like n
reasonable amount of work about a house.
Few but enjoy little sewing. However
with the disappearance of the servant no
woman Is likely to escape with even rea-
sOnable amount OF hOuSeWOrk at all times
unless she is content TO exist in a boarding

and three sons. All five of the young peo-
pie are engaged in business. The girls al
ways care for their own rooms before leay-
Ing nome IN the morning, and do more or

In the not infrequent periods when there is
no girl to help the mother they spend every
possible moment before and after business
and most of Sundays keeping house. No
one expects or wishes the young men to
help. yet they work only the same number
of hours in business as their sisters and
work no harder. Few women escape house
