and the girl cannot earn enough to
pay for a servant, 1t is her duty to
help her mother with the housework,
no matter how tired she is when she
gets home from her work. 1t is a
case of dire necessity in which one
can only do the best one can. But
in cases where the mother is strong
and able bodied. and the girl con-
tributes to the household expenses.
her mother has no right to call on her
for any extra assistance.
1t is making an additional drain on
the girls vitality and strength that
should not be made-she is not often
able to endure 1t. One of the main
reasons that women break down so
often in business is because they su-
perimpose the work OF a woman on
top of the work OF a man and nobody
has got the physique to stand that
sort of a strain.
When a man gets home at night
after his days labor he finds a COM
Portable meal ready for him to eat.
and after he has eaten 1t he sits down
in quiet and comfort and reads the
paper and rests until he is ready to
go to bed or to go out for an hour or
two's diversion.
Nobody expects him to rush and
help cook the dinner and then wash
the dishes, and then trim a new hat
for little Sally or run a sewing ma
chine. till bedtime making father a
shirt. But that's exactly what three
fourths of the. mothers of working
girls demand of their daughters. No
wonder the girls have nervous col
lapses; no wonder they come to work
tired and listless; no wonder they are
not as bright and energetic and don't
go as far as boys.
They are trying to climb with a
family on their backs. And so It's
up to the mother who wants her
daughter to get on in business and
arrive at the place that has a worth
while salary attached to it, to relieve
the girl of every possible domestic
burden 50 that she may have all of
her strength and vitality to give to
her job. She can't use up her strength
in the dish pan and still have it to
give to the store.
There are very few mothers who
are Intentionally selfish toward their
daughters. 1t is just that they feel
that their daughters belong to them
so completely that everything that
the girl has, and can do, belongs to
them, too.
Mothers must revise this point of
view. They must realize, for one
thing. that they are killing the goose
that lays the golden egg when they
overwork their daughter by forcing
her to add domestic drudgery to her
daily labor in the outside world They
are handicapping her earning capa-
city and breaking down her health
Also, mothers must realize that girls
who earn their own living have
bought their freedom. and are en-
titled to more liberties in the way of
going out in the evening than are
housekeeping girls who have all day
in which to amuse themselves.
II the mother of the working girl
wants to solve the problem of how
to treat her daughter she has got a
ready formula at hand. Let her treat
her daughter with the same consider
alton that she does her son, and ex-
pect no more of her.
