A SENSIBLE GUIDE
FOR WOMEN WORKERS
Chief of the Chicago Collegiate
Bureau of Occupations Dis
cusses Self-Support

"Women and Work" by Helen NJ. Ben
nett, has real timeliness on account Of the
rapid expansion of womans vocational
sphere and the urgent call today for women
workers of trained minds. The book deals
primarily with the vocational problems of
the college girl. but by implication uses the
term vocation in a sense as broad almost
as life itself, in doing which it is quite in
accord with the definition proposed by
John Dewey Personal problems, college
problems, industrial and professional prob
lens are here dealt with in sensible way,
the personal element being always central.
Sensible" is the word that most accurately
describes the book, which is the product of
the authors long experience as manager OF
the Chicago Collegiate Bureau Of Occupa-
tions, Without knowing Miss Benefits
title the reader of this volume would be
fully aware that she knows her subject
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. college women and their
vocational needs and possibilities.
The discussion of the problem of voca-
tional advice is refreshingly sane. She
does not pirate and pratte Of vocational
psychology, when as yet there Is very
little worthy the name. She may under
rate the practicability of mental tests and
measures, but that is a shining virtue in
these days of oVerestimation of their value.
Miss Bennett sees the need OF better serN-
ice in college in the way of vocational coun-
sci, and seems to believe that in the future
the vocational adviser will be one of the
most important officers in the college or
ganization Such an officer must be psy-
chologist, but also diligent and intelligent
gatherer of information to be furnished the
students, this information including "op-
portunities for women in fields other than
teaching the preparation necessary; the
possibilities in the way of salary and ad-
vancement; how to get in touch with po-
sitions, as through agencies or vocational
and college bureaus or offices; sources of
t,Ea las Nan
sources as we'll as libraries and a good
working photography" Not very hifalutin,
but certainly practical. The same may be
said of the book itself.

Cottage Cheese Hints

When the curds Of cottage cheese refuse
to be anything but tough and lumpy after
they have been drained through a cheese
cloth bag try running them through the
food chopper and see how light and delicate
they become.
II you want to add piquancy to cottage
cheese either purchased at the store or
made at home add few chopped UP cher
ries Another way of varying the flavor
is to mix in 1t tiny chopped onions or cara
way seed.

A New Use for the Shoehorn

Many persons who religlously use a shoe
horn for putting on pomps and oxfords
never think to apply the handy little in
strument to refractory rubbers. Now that
school days have come and there will be
many rainy days among them. it is well
for mother to know that there is a way Of
managing rubbers that are getting a little
snug for their small owners. Let her try

Philadelphia is at peculiar crisis in

Memory Books for Rainy DAYS
70 the Editor Of Woman's Page:


Dear Madam am passing along a suggestion
70 YOU about keeping my little ones happy and
busy on rainy SATURDAYS. AS rule there Is
plenty Of use for exercising the plan during the
fall and winter. The children have memory books
and paste In them IN the right order things that
viii remind them later OF the things that are hap
pening TO them. They something like picture
sutobiographies. For instance last year my
little boy OF ten pasted in his memory hook a
snapshot taken. Of him in February and then
riRht next 10 the picture he pasted letter he
bad got from bis father that same week and
branch OF study. We only take out our memory
books On rainy or snowy days; and in this way
the children do not get tired OF them. They
are locked away at other times and It Is the
ehlldren,s duty while waiting for q rainy day 60
put their souvenirs away carefully
sE A MOTHER.
College girls manage to while away many
happy hours pasting up intimate reminders
of their schooldays. / have never heard Of
little peoples memory books before, but I
am sure they must be lots of fun. Rainy
days are sometimes very long for active lit
tie boys and girls, and am sure this happy
suggestion will be welcomed by many
mothers Thank you

Natural muskrat in a broad band,
together with high collar of the
same, gives emphasis to a suit of
tobacco brown velour. The waist
is high, and there are simulated
pockets just above the waist line,
finished with a little touch of the
military by the use of buttons on
the flaps. The skirt is not much
gored, but gathers slightly into the
waist line, while real pockets, cut
on a diagonal, appear just below
the simulated pockets. The fur
bordered upper skirt flares slightly
over a petticoat of the brown
velour. The whole is topped with a
hat made mostly of big bow of
blue panne velvet.

is not the product OF one gener-

was asked the proper time to
begin to train a child, and he re-
piled: "A hundred years before
he is born" The training does
begin then. The early settlers
of Davidson county, Tennessee,
were from the leading families
of Virginia and Carolinas. The
great grandparents OF w. d.
Shaw we're among those early
settlers. In 1898 James and
Anna Shaw removed to Caldwell
county, Kentucky, and settled
near Order. There were four
sons and four daughters in this
family. The daughters all mar.

are closely related to the Blacks,

Camp Chase. Ohio. He was ex-
changed after some months, and
again entered the army, March,
1864, he was taken prisoner
again, and was released just in
time for the surrender. TIE
quality of his manhood is indi-
Gated by the fact that his own
section of Kentucky was divided
in its allegiance, but he. a Con.
federate soldier, retained the
friendship of many who espous.
ed the union cause.
He loved the Conferate SOL

He was an enthusiastic Mason.
He became Master Mason in

He was past high priest acd pc st

piles Of Masonry appealed to him
strongly, and he rejoiced in the
good fellowship it afforded him.
He was a Christian man, and
united with the Grace Presby-
terian church, March Is, 1917.
He sometimes talked about the
church and his desire to unite
with it, but expressed his sense
of unwortheness. When he un-
derstood that it was the grace
Of God that made us fit for fell
lowship in the Fathers house,
he declared with joy that he had
surrendered his life to jesus,
had gone to Him with his sins,
ard believed He had heard his
prayer for life and salvation.
