Her EMPLOYERS Gifts.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
/ am seventeen and a stenog-
rapher. My employer often gives
me little gifts. Is IL the proper
thing for me TO accept them?
am sure he means nothing but
just friendliness. He is about
fifty.
A CONSTANT READER.
This Is a problem you must han
die very carefully. No doubt your
employer thinks OF you as scarcely
more than a child and offers gifts
in pure friendliness. For this rea-
son you will wish to be frank and
considerate in your manner. But be
prompt to discourage any other
spirit in him and decline firmly to
accept gifts that have any value.
You can tell him. no doubt with
perfect truth, that your mother
does not allow you to receive gifts
OF value. 4 situation OF this sort
is always so hard for a young girl
to manage that warmly sympa-
thize with your perpIeNity.

for Employees Of War Plants.

NEW YORK. June 2s.-The task OF
providing educational and recrea-
tional work for women employed at
the twenty-five government munition
plants soon to be in operation in this
country has been assigned to the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
tion. Miss Ernestine Friedman. head
of the industrial war work depart
ment, outlined her plans for this work
at the national headquarters of the
association here.
Asserting that each of these plants
will have from 5000 to 10000 en-
ployes, many of whom will be women
Miss Friedman declared that 1t will
be the duty of the association to see
that these women lead normal lives
by guarding them from attacks Of
homesickness. The program includes
athletics, military drills, folk dane
ing and picnics.
"Munition making Is woman's in
dustry." said Miss Friedman, "for
many manufacturers consider women
more skilled than men. These woman
workers are being recruited to leave
their homes and go into these indus
trial communities.
Greater efficiency for the worker
is the only excuse for the Y. w. c. A.
going into those communities. Some
thing must be done to keep the wom-
en- contented. to Offset the Loneliness
that will como from such q life"
