Influence of Washington Women.

lnnuence or washington women.
= n estimating the influence of
that which does or could ema-
i nate from the Capital City, the
part which Washington. women
could play in the national housekeep-
ing should not be overlooked.
THE word has but to go forth
from Washington" says Vogue, the
fashion magazine, editorially, "and
a reform could be accomplished in
three months"
The specific reform which Is men
toned is that which concerns the
habit Of the Federal Government
In quartering the offices of the mi
nor official business. in premises
often shabby. sometimes dirty, and
now and then actually squalid."
The contention is made that II the
broom were laid to civic housekeep-
ing, through the proper upkeep of
Federal buildings and Offices, civic
cleanliness would follow as a matter
of course.
Here Is duty for the Federation
of Women's Clubs. The editorial
mentions specifically postoffices. re-
cruiting stations. and revenue off,
ces. There are ways and ways to
do the deed, and as long as the con-
tention is continually made that
women do not need the vote in order
to try out little problems such as
this. why not prove 1t one way or
the other once and for all?
Just because women live in Wash
ington. the voteless city is no reason
why they should languish In the
same mental apathy as do the men.
Washington women are no worse off
than the women OF many States OF
the Union In this respect. Voteless-
ness is no excuse for the cessation
of all mental activity on the part of
women.
One-half OF the population OF think
ing women will perhaps leave the
city for the summer months. Wher-
ever they go, they will be no better
or no worse off politically than they
are now. So why should the fact
that they may be strangers in a GER
tain locality bar them from an at
tempt to clean up that particular
region?
After one has the evidence there

past about family budgets. a
w budget" meaning the appor-
tioning of expenses In ad-
Vance for the various items Of the
household expenditures, food, and cloth
nng.
But I think this particular subject
of ''budgeting" meals. as l call It, Is
fully as important and just as possible
OF development as budgeting finances.
What do l meant? Merely that meals
should be planned in advance and their
costs estimat ted. Very few of us as yet
do more than order from day to day,
but II we stop to think of 1t this is
really inefficient, because 1t repeats
every day something that might just
as well be done once q week. and such
a meal-tomeal plan does not give us
the Various advantages of the budgeted
meal idea.
The first thing in budgeting our meals
is to plan the menus for week ahead !.
In doing this we will, or should, think
of the balanced meaI'-that which VIII
give US the most nutriment and variety
for the least expense, as we'll as those
foods which will be in season.
Dietary Standards.
Is our meal planned with a reference
to dietary standards? Do we have two
starchy vegetables, potatoes and par
snips7 Do we have meat and rich
egg dessert? Such unwholesome COM
bir ations of food will not be possible
II we plan our meals in advance. be-
cause more careful planning means more
scientific meals.
Second. budgeted meals will help us
to be economical because 1t will enable
us to make out purchasing sheet
of the supplies necessary for making
up all the menus for the entire week.
That is. we will estimate about how
many eggs, how many pounds of but
ter. how many punches of vegetables
and how much of each meat we will
need to work out our menus. With
such a list before us we can very
much more adequately buy in large
quantities, and hence save money. This
is particularly true with regard to
buying staples.
Third. the budgeting plan gives us
the advantage Of never being without
something with which to develop our
meal. How much time we have often
lost rearranging our meals because at
the last, moment we found we were
that. so that we had to change the en-
tire meal. which generally resulted In

ADVICE TO GIRLS
Bv Annie Laurie

Dear Annie Laurie: met a
young man short time ago and
he has called upon me but one
time. 1t has been a long time
since I have seen him, but the
first time met him l knew
that he was my ideal. Please
tell me how l can win his affec-
tion. RED TOP.
(<Y Avs A MASSEY" as Aunt
Miranda would say. what
l. sort of a magician do you
think I am, Red Top? I
suppose that, If we we're living fve
centuries ago I could send little
love philter for you to give the up-
suspecting object of your alteration,
and everything would come out all
right. However. living in the Twen-
tieth Century, the sad fact remains
that I cannot fulfill your hearts de-
sire, but / can say that you are a
very foolish girl to go into raptures
over a man who does not appear to
return your sentiments in the least
degree.
Dear Miss Laurie-I ana a girl Of
eighteen and have been going with
a young man of twenty-one. About
two months ago he was called away
as his father was very ILL., | am en-
gagged ITO him. A few days ago
received a letter from him and The
stamp was at the bottom of the let
ter at the left side. Please give me
some advice about this.

deayor to find out what your fiance
might have meant by placing the
stamp where he did. At last l have
come to the conclusion that II there
is any hidden meaning you will haye
to ask him to explain 1t. l really
don't see any cause for you to be
troubled about 1t, though.
Dear Annie Laurie am
60 with a boy who is twenty
Years old and am deeply In love
with him. | know he cares for
me because he has said so, but he

or course you are entirely too
young to think about getting mar
ried just yet and. to tell the truth,
I think that he Is, too. II he's the
right sort, he will be willing to wait
0ntil you are older. What does a
ehild like you know about home
making? Are you able to do all the
cooking and the mending and house
cleaning? I don't think the wearing
strain OF housework would be the
best thing, for you, young as you
are.
Try to prepare yourself for mar
riage by learning to be real home
maker. When you are twenty-one
you ought to be we'll prepared to
manage a home OF your own.
