lists marry earliest, and are less given
to divorce than almost any other pro-
fesSion.
Indeed the slack wire artist and the
lady that does the flying trapeze" in
the circus would appear to be an ex-
cellent wife and mother.
She brings up her children well and
whole omely, that in time they may
fly through the air and walk the slack
wire. For it is a truism that acrobatic
talent remains in families for genera
tons. This seems to be especially
true of the English and Italians who
cherish the family gifts, on wire and
trapeze, as jealously as if they were
scepter and crown.
These people who make crony of
death in the roofs of big circus tents
keep their youth to a surprising age,
if they manage to survive the perils
of their occupation.
A strange, interesting people. inhab-
iting world of their own, q highly in
teresting novel might be written about
them by one who knows the world Of
rope and wire and hoops and swings.
Teaching Fatal.
On the other hand, the teaching
profession seems to be fatal to mar
rage. And the number of spinsers
that it furnishes is alarming to the
keeper of vital statistics. 1t would
seem that if teacher contemplates
+ marriage at all she must marry in the
first years of her profession, as few,
indeed, marry after they have taught
school for decade or so.
The long hours spent in the Glass
room and the correction of papers
that eats into teachers scant leisure
would seem to be unfavorable to mat
rimony.
1t would be interesting to explain
the reason for this state of affairs,
uncovered by that curiously prying
individual, the statistician, in his at
tempts to show the number of women
available to release men for war work.
Why does the waitress always
marry, and why does the teacher
marry so seldom2

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Why is it that mattresses marry
earlier and in greater numbers than
the women employed in any other
occupation?
Wartime statistics, that have rent
the veil of so many mysteries, have
also divulged this highly interesting
fact.
In a recent canvass, designed to
show the number of women available
to release men for war, the astonish-
ing fact was revealed that there are
practically no unmarried mattresses.
Can it be that this grim statistical
fact is to be linked with the ancient
proverb that "the road to mans
heart is through his stomach?"
I hate to insinuate that the girls
may have taken advantage of their
semi-domestic relationship to lonely
bachelors, in serving meat and drink
to them, to bring about this matrimo-
NAL boom in their ranks.
Insinuated Domesticity.
As a matter of fact, the waitress,
with her white apron, insinuating sug-
gestions of domesticity, has things
pretty we'll in her own hands. And the
savory dishes that she offers, hot and
appetizing-if she looks with favor on
a patron, might almost be classed un-
der the head of undue influence.
But still consulting these dry-as
dust statistics, we discover that the
waitress after marriage continues to
wait. This argues one of two things
that she is absolutely modern
woman who believes in keeping her
"job" after marriage, or that her
wages are necessary to keep up the
family budget.
q In either case the figures show that
Wemen who earn their living by serv-
ing tables marry early and continue in
what economists call "gainful occupa-
tion"-otherwise, hold on to their jobs.
Actresses Come Next.
After mattresses, the matrimonial
honors appear to go to actresses.
After actresses, it would appear that
acrobats, tumblers, and slack wire art

A N environment of artistic lowell
IA ness has been created in the
handsomely appointed new home of
the Brandeis Stores Ready-To-Wear
Apparel department, appropriate in
deed as background for the opening
fashion display beginning Monday
morning, September 10. Here you
will see gowns, wraps, taileur suits
embpdying the national thought and
desire for repression of elaborate
ness. Beautifully tailored lines and
most exclusive materials have dis
placed the varied trimmings and
ornaments of garments shown in this
store in former years. You'll love the
models they are showing for it seems
to me that in them | see character, i'll
dividuality and an adaptation to the
many needs we find for our clothes
during these troublous war times. And
with all the undermining changes in
the department, the management has
most graciously made an entrance di-
rectly on Seventeenth street. You'll
find the French room fitted in ivory
with cunningly carved flowers and
cane insets at the left of the door as
you enter. Omaha certainly has rea-
son to feel proud of this departure in
decorative art, as we'll as pride in the
possession of the distinctive styles to

War Again Takes a Hand.

Again, the war has made its con-
tribution to this situation. After the
American entrance into the war. eco
nomic conditions changed SO rapidly
that women teachers, in very con-
siderable numbers. left the schools
for the many forms of government
work that offered better remunera-
ton.
The Federal Superintendent of
Schools Claxton was overjoyed to
welcome the entrance into his list of
teachers of any eligible women he
could secure, married or single.
So it begins to look IS if we were
taking teaching out of the celibate
'sorders for women.
Probably there have been few
among these hundreds of thousands
of women who have consciously pre-
ferred not to marry and become
mothers. And it is appalling to think

DR.. Anna Howard Shaw has put
the case of the underpaid women
teachers with characteristic forceful-
ness in a recent letter. Her plea for
"a reasonable living wage" for highly
trained, heavily burdened women,
should have wide influence. She says:
II fully realize the great i'm
portance of our schools and the
work of the teachers, and feel
that never before in the history
of our country was it more neces-
sary to secure the very best IN
structors and accord to them the
highesG wages possible than at
this time. | sincerely hope that
your request for reasonable liv-
ing wage at least-for that is all
it is-may be secured
At last we are beginning to have a
late awakening in regard to school
teachers. We are beginning to dis
cover that they are human like the
rest of the world. And we ought not
to expect large measure of their
compensation should come from the
honor and glory of teaching other
women's children.
l don't know how it was that we
first began to regard teaching as a
celibate profession for women. But
having made up our minds that Our
children we're to be taught by spin
sters, we didn't hesitate to order the
lives of some millions of women on
that basis.
Married Teachers Bill.
There has been no more vigorous
opponent to the Married Teachers
bill than the comfortably married wo-
men who felt quite capable of doing
the marrying for the community.
It may be that her position was
all the stronger because it was purely
emotional. She hadn't a reason in the
world to offer in justification of her
demand that the teacher of her chill
dren should refrain from matrimony.
But if you pressed her hard enough
she would weakly recall the fact that
Miss So-and- So. who used to teach at
the academy when she was a girl. was
certainly a most excellent teacher.
In fact. all of her teachers had been
unmarried and excellent: therefore, all
good teachers should remain unmar-
ried for all time.
But, happily, the married woman
who gloried in being tethered to the
hearthstone, didn't have things all
her own way.
The Married Woman Teachers bill
as we all remember, went through
