NINE. SLAvKo GRovITCH, wife %
the Servian charge d'afraires az
the court OF St James, was formerly a
Miss Mabel Dunlop Of Chicago. She
has returned to her native city and Is
endeavoring to interest American wo.
men in uplifting their sisters OF south
eastern Europe.
Servian women cannot 60 to school
as American girls do because the GUS
toms OF the country do not permit
them to even appear on the streets un-
chaperoned, says Nine. Grovitch. let
alone to leave their homes and live in
q university town.
'T have endowed an agricultural
school In Belgrade where girls may
learn OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Is the land Of
gardens-but wish 10 have a pension
--dormitory you call it--where oul
girls may live under proper chaperon-
aga and learn the useful household
arts as well as embroidering, the finer
arts and get a general education.
Belgrade is the gateway TO the ORR
ent, and servian people are the con-
i'll "A.
races and the Turk. The education o.
servtan women has an important bear
ing on the future peace Of southeasterH
Europe"
Mrs. Kate Richards o'Hare Of Kan.
sas City says that $4,000 women die
annually in this country because they
have to earn their living In a way al,
rectly opposed TO the laws OF natures
Most of the women who work, she
says, are paid surh low wages that
they fairly throw away their lives for
the barest necessities.
Women do not fall. They are push
ed down because Of the low scale OF
wages for labor" she said recently.
Seven million women have gone out
in the industrial field, and / have
heard Samuel Gompers say IL women
would go back to their homes and IRE
sides the labor problem would be solv-
ed. Why do women leave their
homes? Because OF poverty. I have
seen men so conceited as to think their
pretty stenographers came to the Office
just to sit and stare at their bald
heads. Women don't want public life,
careers, noise and excitement. The
only solution OF the labor question and
certain violations OF moral laws would
be TO have men paid wages sugncient
20 support their families and thereby
eliminate the necessity OF women be-
ing compelled TO work"

Ida M. Tarbell has some decided
views about women.
"The most valuable citizen in the
world is the woman who sLays at
home and properly brings up a family
OF children" she says.
Women can serve the modern state
in every capacity except az soldiers OF
sailors.
Women have been the Indirect en-.
actors OF some of the best laws in this
country.
The married woman should not do
wage earning work outside her hona
unless through actual necessity
To my mind the whole duty OF wo-
man may oe summed up In ave words
Ito stick to her job"
Miss Tarbell believes that the un-
married women and the widows should
be the laborers in fields outside of the
home. She believes that every woman
able to marry should do SO, for indie
pendence, she says, soon loses ita
charms and woman realizes she haa
lost great deal.

Says Mrs. William Grant Brown.
president OF the City Federation Of
Clubs of New York:
The woman who has her club work
to interest her keeps herself In a much
happier and healthier frame OF mind.
She looks upon her home as a place of
rest and comradeship just as her hus-
band does In that way clubs prevent
divorce"
