The Evening Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

~HRIsT, the Lord, Is risen. and therefore I must get me q new hat and
gown with which to celebrate this great anniversary"
~ Sounds terrible, doesn't it?
Makes you positively shudder at its bald irreverence.
And yet that Is substantially what thousands of American women
are saying by their manner of celebrating Easter Day.
What are you going to have ne for Eastern" Nearly everywhere
in the last few weeks Of Lent you hear that question.
And in the dressmakers little back room, at the taflors shop, IN the
sweat shops and in the millinery work rooms, overweight nerves, tired
fingers, and throbbing eyes are kept at their tasks twelve and fifteen
hours a day to answer that question.
Truly 8 are doing almost as well with Easter a we have with
Christmas.
I know a girl who stayed home from church last Easter because 81
didn't have a single lei thing to wear and 1 felt too shabby"
l know two other grls who went to church on Easter for the first
time in two or three months to wear heir Easter suits n hats.
just think for a moment of what Easter means.
Easter is the day above all Christian holy days-even above Christ
mas, it seems to me-which should hold the fullest significance for
Christians
1t celebrates the greatest belief Of mankind, the belief in immortal
iy.
Easter is the day which gives its meaning and its right to be to that
magnificent chant of ST. Paurs which sums up the greatest outcome OF
the Greatest Mans life
80, death, where is thy sting?
o, grave, where is thy victory?"
And we are making this wonderful of wonderful days a day dedicat
ed to clothes, a day when W e stay at home from worship because are
shabby, or go because we have new garments to show Off, a day to pre-
pare for which We let our less fortunate sister suffer the agonies Of over
work.
No, there is nothing wrong in liking beautiful things. There is
nothing unseemly In discarding ones dark winter garment. and trying to
make oneself more in harmony with the beautiful spring things about
one
But it seems to me there IS great harm in allowing tho clothes In
terest to obscure the meaning of Easter IS much Is we American women
are in danger of doing.
Don't you agree with me7

The Children's Room.

Every nursery should have furniture
of the simplest design. so that it can
be washed daily. The lines should be
low and broad. so that the children
can Chamber into the chairs easily and
when they fall not have far to go.
A broad low window seat Is a good
idea. for children who play too long
on the floor are apt to get cold. This
should be near windows that are pro-
tected with wooden bars. so there is
no possibility Of falling 1t. 1t should
be less thar a foot high and have
washable cushions.
Every nursery should have a dresser
for the toys. The lower drawers of
such a dresser could be used for the
nursery linen.
Though some mothers object TO fow-
erpots in the nursery. there is much to
be said in their favor. They make a
window ledge so gay that 1t Is hard
to resist them. If they are used they
should be highly glazed, either in blue
or white. and should hold simple

Mrs. Robert NJ. La Toilette, wife Of
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, Is
vice president Of the Housekeepers'
Alliance of Washington. This organi-
cation for the last two years has been
conducting an investigation into do
nestle problems. and Mrs. La Toilette
has reached some definite conclusions
as to how these problems can be best
solved.
She says: when housekeepers CO.
operate to elevate household stand
ards, systematic housework and put
it on a scientific basis vast good can
be accomplished. The servant girl
problem is a great economic question,
caused by the completely of our
American life.
THE housekeeper who has learned
the dignity Of household labor has
more sympathy with all those who per-
form 1t. and she can teach them the
best methods based on science.
'In training young women for do
mestic labor and elevatlng it TO a pro-
fession. thereby making it attractive
and profitable to them. lies much of
the solution of the problem.
1.-The American girl cannot bear to
be looked down upon, and the Ameri-
can woman is at fault in allowing do
nestle labor to fall under the ban OF
social stigma"

Making Q Rau Book.

Making . Rag Book.
1t Is always a difficult task to find a
suitable gift for babies and young chill
dren generally. for. however young the
recipient may be, the giver likes to
have the satisfaction of knowing that
the gift is one that even baby takes an
interest in.
A rag book Is a gift that never fails
to please. To make one, buy a few
yards of plain calico. The calico
should be torn into strips, each inside
page being allowed two thicknesses,
80 that a picture can be painted on
each side. This can be managed by
tearing the strips twice the size Of the
required page, then simply folding it
into n page. The cut edges of these
pages must be bound together and
well sewed and so form the back of
the book. and all Is made neat and tidy
by the outside cover, which Is one sin
gle piece Of calico. The pages are
placed In this, and the is stitch
ed to the back Of the book.
The cover need only be of one thick
ness. as 1t does not require a picture
on the inside of 1t.
The pictures may now be drawn or
traced on the pages, or the decorations
may be done before the book is made
up. The stains must be applied even
ly and fatty to the various objects,
outlining the shapes with waterproof
india ink.
Ideas will come thick and fast as
the worker proceeds, so a few sugges-
tons as to the decoration of the book
will suffice. An A B 9 book will be
most useful for little mes learning to
read.
For ordinary purposes water colors
will do for the staining. but If the
books are to be washed of len dyes or
marqueterie stains must be used. one
or two coior doing airy amount of
books. Nursery rhymes and tales may
be illustrated. Tracings can always be
taken from books and the wording
printed with ink.

In Case of Fire.

"More women's lives have been lost
in fires through their inability to use
a fire escape or their almost hysteri
cally mock modest fear of being car

Chief A. J.. Eley of the Los Angeles
fire department.
women should be trained to know
that when a fire is raging and escape
nearly cut off ii is nc time TO stand
thinking OF who may be looking on or
who the fireman Is. He is not a man;
be is safety p~ersonifed. and TO him she
is not a woman. Just Il human life to

Chief Eley believes that. with the
tremendous growth of the city, its

increasing number OF women employ

rules would make the fremen's task
