Ways of Berlin Women

Il believe that the typical. German hausfrau
is a myth" said New York woman who re-
turned the other day from years residence
in Germany. Il don't see how the average
German woman finds any time to be a haus-
frau | sometimes wondered when the Ger
man woman found time to do anything at
home
Il spent eight months in Berlin with my
daughter, who was studying music From
eleven to twelve in the morning the cafes
were packed with German women, who go out
to take their second breakfast In the public
restaurants thing unknown in America.
They take along their sewing embroid
cry and sit an hour or two over their cup Of
coffee or glass of beer. At the concerts, too
they take their work and spend hours day
after day listening to the music. You can spend
an afternoon listening to beautiful music
magnificent orchestra with fine vocal artists
for 16 cents That is an illustration of some
of the things that help to exile Americans.

one evening to the German women's club. The

When she took me into the last apartment
1t almost feazed me for minute 1t was blue

women of Berlin, titled some OF them
They were cosmopolitan in their dress and
manners and did not present any striking
points of difference from the American women
except in the smoking. 1t made the occur
renee of last summer when our immigration
officials detained a second class passenger. a
woman art dealer. for inquiry into her sanity
because she smoked cigarettes, appear very
funny In retrospect.
"The German womens clubs like those OF
the Engishwomen are based on the same prin-
ciple as mems clubs; these are places for So
cial enjoyment and for the convenience of
members in taking meals, entertaining friends
and so on. They do not take up work in study
philanthropy, reform and on. like the WON

SOME DONT'S FOR MOTHERS
No Surer Love Destroyer Than Mother
Who Is Chronic Fault Finder
and SooId.

Don't let yourself grow old In feel
ings. 1t means growing away from
your children and bitter, lonely hours.
Don't let yourself rust mentally.
The growing girl and boy who can
have mother help him out In a tight
place in his lessons, or can come to
her for clear answer to a perplexfng
question, rarely gets that disagree
able know-it-all air so common TO
young America.
Don't try to force your children's
confidence. II from the start you
have tried to be a chum OF your child
the confidence will be given unsolic-
tied; those that are asked are given
grudgingly and with a sense of re-
sentiment, If not actually refused.
Don't let your children see that you
are disappointed in them. There is
no surer road of self-consciousness
and the don't care attitude than II the
boy or girl feels that mother thinks
him a failure.
Don't, on the other hand, think your
progeny prodigies. If the child knows
he isn't. he is conscious of embarrass-
ment and being under a strain; II he
agrees with the maternal opinion he
becomes insufferably conceited.
Don't, whatever else you do or
leave undone. don't nag. There is
no surer love destroyer than mother
who never let's up, who magnifies
trifes, who is a chronic fault finder
and scold. The children of such
mother rarely are found in the home
