at Is very unfair to the father 70

his small apartment filled with noisy
children and a weary, distracted wife.
These terrible apartments! OF course,
it isn't as bad In a large house where
there is plenty Of room, but In city
fats such life Is an unfair burden FOR
both. Perhaps the poor man would
not be driven so often to the saloons
for peace II his wife did not have to
worry him about the children SO much.
And perhaps all people would find
something interesting to talk about il
they did not have to talk about chill
dren and their care so much.
"And It Is so unfair to the children
themselves 10 be cooped up in fats and
noisy streets, and have the ignorant
and insufficient care Of busy parents.

"Why should women work." she
was asked. She laughed In the jolliest
sort Of way and poked one black,
greasy palm with an equally black
forefnger. Charlie, who is learning
with her, pulled his head out from
under the spring and watched her ador-

in which she throws back her head and

day any more than they did in the cav
man days. Even if a woman does not
have to work, if her husband Is rich
enough to support her through his own
efforts or through inheritance, she
should do it because it broadens her
and brings her in contact with larger
beings. When young man is wealthy
and he goes to work all his friends
say How Splendid Why shouldn't
they do the same when woman
works. II is just as laudable."
Miss Jones does not have to work.
She has a large inheritance and is
economically Independent. Her official
reason for wishing to become a demon
strator for the Chevrolet Company is
that as sufragist and feminist she
has always spoken Of the economic in
dependence of woman, urging all TO
work. But the only way in which she
might preach this consistently was by
showing what woman could do in new
or old fields Of endeavor. The real
reason for her working is that she is
naturally a very busy little person.
