What Efficiency Is.

efficiency means one has learned
the wisdom Of being orderly. It doesn't
make any difference whether the eff
cheney is in the Office or in the home.
1t comes as the result of experience
and of an inquiring mind. Unless a
woman has 1t her husband does not
get a square deal. American women
are just ss capable Of being efficient
as women Of any other nation. That is
proved by their management of char
tiles, womep's clubs and patriotic and
civic societies. They have proved
themselves full of executive ability
and initiative. But many women do
not use these qualities in the manage
ment OF their homes.
Human nature has not changed
since the days of the wise and foolish
virgins. Some provide oil for their
lamps and some do not. For my part
I have always felt sympathy for the
foolish virgins. Just a word in time
from one Of the wise virgins, and they
might have been prodded on, so they,
too, could have enjoyed the wedding
feast. On the same principle, to-day,
there cannot be too much preaching
of the need of efficiency in the house
hold.
"A man prepares for his business in
life seriously. But many girls marry
without any preparation at all for the
making or the keeping of a home.
They do not look upon their work as
a serious moral responsibility. | think
usually a girl is not trained early
enough in household matters. In
Europe the little girl of ten is learn
! ing how to cook and TO manage a
house. Here the instruction does not
begin usually until she is in high
/ school.
"The committee on food supply APP
/ pointed by Mayor Mitchell reported
/ that extravaganza was a drain on the
food supply Of the city. So the woman
who is ignorant of how to buy for her
household wastes not only her hus-
bands money but commits a civic
wrong. You often hear of the clever
| ness Of the French woman in being

~ OES the American husband get
square deal?
Sometimes he does. Then
again sometimes he doesn't. Mrs.
| Theta Quay Franks, who propounds
the startling question, answers it her
self when she says that unless the
wife is az efficient in caring for the
house and in spending the household
allowance as the man is in running
his business and in earning the money
10 support the homo the husband Is
decidedly not getting square deal.
The one thing which is needed is eff
cheney. Mrs. Franks, who is the author
of efficiency in the Household Will
lecture on this subject before the
Housewives League tomorrow.
There is one excuse for the house
keeper who has not taken her WORK
seriously enough, according to Mrs.
Franks. Traced back far enough, the
real fault rests with the men.
women have looked upon house
work as inferior work until recently,
and all too many do so yet. This Is
because of the attitude of men, years
ago. when they refused to give higher
education to women because they said
il would make them neglect their
homes. Women felt they had TO
choose between being housekeepers
and having professions. But as mat
ter Of fact the highest profession a
woman can practise is that OF keeping
house. That is because the modern
housekeeper must be scientific ana
must give thought to her work.
The Housewives Duties.
"To be a good housekeeper requires

When quite dry shake off all the water

For summer dresses and children's

a wooden spoon until IT is smooth and
