From the first. Hartje's side has

to keep WeIshons OF the stand. During
this quarrel the dramatic incident OF thc

BY MAUD NATHAN.

The women who spend are in large
measure responsible for much of the
existing distress and evil surrounding
the women who work. For centuries
women have worked, but not as wage
earners. They used to work in cot
tages, surrounded by plenty of sunshine
and air. Today, through the invention
of cumbersome machinery. work has
been taken out of the home and put
into factories and workshops. Work
for women in this new environment has
become more monotonous and the ner-
vous strain is terrible
Now in what way can the women who
spend alleviate the conditions surround
ing the women who work? There
seems to be little necessity to expound
the economic truths relating to the
laws of supply and demand. All
modern economists agree that there is
never a supply of anything until the
demand of the purchasers be felt.
Therefore, let the women who spend
tand women are largely the purchasers
of the household) insist that whatever
they buy be made under conditions
wholesome to both the purchaser and
the producer

for overtime work. are given no vaca-
tions with pay and no half holiday IN
summer and are not even permitted to
sit down when not occupied. then they
are helping to keep down the standard
of competition TO low level and are
discouraging those merchants who are
trying to raise the standard.
Many philanthropic women who have
larger incomes than they care to spend
on themselves will give away large
sums of money in order to provide
funds for working girls who have bro
kea down physically. mentally and
mofally. yet had these women in pro-
viding for their own wants taken the
precaution TO spend the money In gn3h
a way as to create favorable conditions
for working girls the workers, in all
probability, would not have broken
down and would not have required any
aid.
Instead of organizing working girls
vacation societies. let us give working
girls vacations with pay. IL there were
no cruelty enacted toward animals and
children there would be no necessity
for the formation of societies to pre-
vent cruelty. If there were no injus-
tice dealt to the poor and helpless there
would be no work for the Legal Aid So
ciety. We should hang our heads in
very shame because of our need for so
many charitable institutions; we should
not feel that they are a commendable
source of pride.

finaugurate the moral education of the
consumer Consumers have apparently
begun their studies. We are at pres
ent in the primary grade We no long
er buy slaves, and during the civil war
some of the conscientious consumers
even refused to buy the product of
slave labor. We no longer buy our
servants, as in the old days of inden-
ture, but some of seem to think We
buy their entire time. and that they
should have no interest in life outside
of our households. We do not buy little
children. but we still buy the pf001cs
of child labor We use underwear
woven in Southern mills where tiny
children are allowed to work all night
long. We wear shoes which they help
to make in factories, hats which they
braid. We trim our hats with artificial
flowers which they help to make in
tenement rooms. We wear silk and
velvet which they help to make, assist
ed by large machines which seem to
be as intelligent and mature as the
children are. We use paper boxes and
bags made by them We eat candy
packed by them. nuts picked by them,
and we are still willing to have all
these things carried home to use by
them. even though they arrive at a
late hour at night.

A word must be said in regard 10 the
working girls attitude toward that
patronizing, condescending type Of in

toward working girls clubs. It is far
too common in our settlement houses
and elsewhere. even in tenement homes
themselves, to find wealthy women
very extensively dressed attempting to
encourage the so-called unfortunates

they should do. Not long ago in one
