JUST THE SAME KIND OF GIRL
Modem Maid, In. All Essentials, ls a
Worthy Copy Of Her Mother
and Grandmother.

Every now and again somebody
asks, in print, this question: What
has become Of the old-fashioned girl
that helped her mother wash the
dishes?" Probably the same ques-
ton has been asked since the time
of Noah and will be asked until the
end.
Mary Lyon, when she provided for
the establishment OF Mount Holyoke
College for girls. stipulated that all
the household work in 1t should be
done bv the students. That rule was
enfo iced rigidly up to a recent date,
wbeh h the directors and faculty, feel
ing that the practice might have be-
come outworn, made the domestic
task 5 of the institution optional for
the Undergraduates.
But when the girls Of Mount Holy
oke were requested to announce their
wishes on the subject, 74S Of the 800
elected to continue in the tasks OF
sweeping corridors. washing Dishes
setting tables and making up beds.
There is no need to worry about
the American girl, even If she does
wear gowns the sight Of which seems
70 preclude all idea of work on her
part. She isn't saying much about
Il but she is in all essentials the
same kind Of girl our mothers and
Rrandmothers we're.
