each other where the. servants of
the future are coming from, be-
cause the servant supply is giving
out.
But in the bulk of American
homes the work has to be done
without outside help. And there is
usually more of it than one woman
can do alone, particularly If she is
an intelligent mother and takes con-
scientious care of her children.
This is what the present day hus-
band has come to understand. He
may feel tired at night when the
evening meal is over. But it is a
fairly safe guess that his wife is
still more tired. So, without stop
ping to>prove this question one way
or the other, he, in a perfectly
cheerful, matter-of-fact way, helps
her, get the kitchen in order be-
fore either of them sits down to read
the evening paper.
Modern Domestic Partnership
After all. it's so much friendlier
to divide the drudgery, whether
ones wife is overworked or not.
And 1t gives two people who are
theoretically domestic partners q
chance to talk things over after a
days separation. It's a good rem
edy for that habit of domestic
silence that sometimes overtakes
worried men and tired women and
that is such q blight upon family

$4,000 Yanks to Start
For Home in Few DAYS

London, Nov. 19.-The first Amer
lean troops to depart homeward as
a result of the signing of the armis-
tice will be 10000 men, stationed
in England.
The American Army expects to
start the first shipload of these SOL
diers within a week, and to have all
of the 100000 on their way back
to the United States ten days later.
Plans for clearing England of
American troops are incomplete, but
it is desired to remove these men
Immediately as some shipping is
available for this purpose. Most of
the 10000 men are helping the Brit
ish air force.
Belief~is expressed at army head
quarters that few Americans will be
left long in England, as it is thought
that the hospitals in France can care
for future needs.

ing and the Frenchman" had
nosed ahead of the gray car. Crouch
ing low we saw them whirl by in
that formation again and again
ten laps fifteen - Wetmore - the
Frenchman-the gray car. Back in
the ruck the Yankee kid drove, half
hidden behind the heel of his low
hung cream-colored car.
AT the eighteenth lap he had
come np to tenth place. At the
twentieth he was eight. Then the
gray car skidded, slowed up, and
painted to the pit edge. where the
repair men lacked it up and all in
minute or two had put on a new
wheel and jerked off one with a
fiat tire. At the twenty-flfth lap with
the race half over,-the Yankee kid
whirled by in sixth place.
Then Jim loses his hold upon the
top rung of Evvy's chair, and turned
to smile at me. He was wan and
gray. l laid my hand in his and
he crushed it fiercely for a moment.
Then the pressure of his icy fingers
relaxed and he hunched forward
again, hanging over the top of Evvy's
chair. And then like a young demon
that Yankee kid drove by again and
again-annihilating space in the
roar of his throbbing engine and
whirling wheels. He was third. He
was drawing up on the Frenchman
again-and the flag waved for the
last lap-and with roar the cream
colored car dashed by and out on
the track beyond the tape the win
ner.
Envy turned and smiled full in
Jims eyes.
Did you play for place or to
VIM" she cried in a tone that fairly
glittered out in crispness unlike her
usual purring huskiness.
ITO win-as you told me. That
was real hunch, little Envy. And
now for your reward. Name it!
Nothing's to good for you-partner.
can't thank you
Jim's voice came in husky gasps;
then it, trailed off. His face was
gray and his mouth twitched. For
all the warmth of the sun which still
rode high he looked cold.
Envy gave him a slow glance
from eyes that yelled themselves
dangerously in closely curtained
lashes. Her voice dripped honey as
she murmured her answer:
"Jimmie-boy, you must take your
little partner to dinner"

LITTLE TALKS BY
BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Common sense is steadily making
It's way into the home. In particu-
lar, l am thinking of the changes it
has brought about in the average
husband.
Shall l give an instance of what
mean? The married man of to-
day doesn't pretend that he cannot
wash dishes. When it's necessary
for him to help out by doing so,
he cheerfully envelops himself in
an apron, turns on the hot water
faucet and goes to work without
any affectation either of helpless
ness or of being imposed upon.
And to my mind this Is q very
great advance in sensible family
cooperation. want to help it
along.
The Old-Fashioned Husband
Just recall for a moment, by way
of contrast, the old-fashioned hus-
band. He fiourished, many hundreds
of thousands of him, until very
few years ago. He had q long list
OF virtues, as we all know, but he
was still very much tangled up In
all manner of inherited notions and
prejudices.
He believed, for instance, and his
wife never dreamed of questioning
1t, that any form of housework
was debasing to masculine dignity.
This idea was strengthened by the
associated belief that men were by
nature untitled to handle mops,
brooms and dishcloths, and that
they were also IN these respects un-
teachable. | suppose no individual
man could be blamed for believing
these things. 1t was simply the
way they were all brought up.
Mans Dignity at Stake
So, when one of them happened
to be in the room where any of
these household arts were being
practised, where a tired, over
worked woman, was cooking or
scrubbing or washing dishes, 1t was
the old-fashioned husbands prac-
tise to look the other way, There
absolutely we're no circumstances
in which he would offer to help out,
1t was the sort of thing q man
didn't do, And a mans supreme
obligation was to be manlike,
Then somebody invented for
mula which certainly protected hus-
bands O great deal and may also
have given some imaginary relief
to overworked wives, 1t had to do
with what was called the division
of labor In family, The husband

Jim's he had been pushed ahead OF
me by the jostling crowd, and
caught a glimpse of him holding
Envy in front of him and steering
her by her elbows, so she was free
of the mob that was bruiting about
me as it surged along,
Alright, Mrs. Jimmy I'm bring
| ing up the rear, and Betty's on the
! flank" sang out Terry's voice Just
as l was ready to get panicky over
the strangeness of it all.
Then Betty's hand found mine,
and together we three came to the
box where Jim and Evy were wtSting
and there Sheldon and Neal pres
emily brought Virginia and Phoebe.
There wasn't room for all of us,
but of course Envy and Sheldon
weren't allowed to go to their own
seats, and again Envy sat with wide
blue eyes focused on my husband,
and quivering red lips murmuring
TO him, while her little right hand
beat on his arm with determined
inSistence.
I wondered if the airplane flying
overhead caused the wild CLINT in
Jims eyes-or whether Evvy's words
had power to move him so.
Then Jim rose and cried reck-
lessly: "All right, here's to your
hunch-the eight-to-one shot"
And he darted out of the box.
ENVY smiled complacently, settled
her furs about her and turned to
Neal.
"Jim's gone to put his money up
on the Yankee kid, Grayson," she
said. You'd better chase after a
'bookie,' too, lad"
But Phoebe laid her hand quietly
upon Meals coat sleeve, and my
young brother remarked indifferently
that just watching was enough to
give him heart disease even with
out having to worry about his sal
airy. Whereupon Phoebe fed him
a caromel with an absurd little
material air that made even Vir-
ginia laugh, and l had to laugh also,
like one of a chorus. But 1 did not
laugh again during the long hour
l waited for Jim to return.
At last he came and sank into
the chair beside me, just behind
the one in which Envy sat. He
leaned forward gripping the top of
her chair and whispered to her. And
now the droning airplanes were
sinking to the level green at the bot
tom of the bowl" pit-boys and
repair men were lAAS dbOul III
their little dug-outs along the in
ner circle of the track, and the
grand stand there on one sector of
the rim was leaning forward to a
man watching the giant cars wheel
into place, while the drivers and
mechanicians groomed them as low
ingly as if they'd been high-strung
race-horSeS to nuzZle against the
hands that had trained them.
Then the crack of a pistol and
thunder and lightning seemed to
burst upon us, as with popping of eX-
hausts and the heavy droning of
engines-the great cars started on
the hundred mile race that would
take them fifty laps around the
deep concave of the track.
When the cars reached the far
side of the field the grandstand rose
and, peering field glasses, shouted
that Wetmore, the favorite, was lead

/ earned all the money to support
the family, people said, so it was
only fair that all the work inside
the home, care of the children,
houseworll, sewing, washing and
other light feminine tasks should
fall to the wife's share.
This sounded plausible, and in
some cases it worked out fairly.
But in many other families the
truth was that the husband worked
his eight or nine hours q day and
then rested, as any of us would pre-
fer to do, whereas the wife and
mother was continuously on duty
for twenty-four hours a day and
for three hundred and sixty-five
days in the year. So this kind of
division of labor" hadn't much to
recommend 1t, from the woman's S
point of view.
must repeat that these men
were not monsters of selfishness.
1t was simply that they had al
ways looked at things in a blind
way, and nothing in the world is
harder to overcome than this sort
of blindness. 1t may be that some
of them went fishing and camping
now and then. and during those ip-
tervals cooked, cleaned and scrub
bed with perfect efficiency. But
such accomplishments as these were
! carefully packed away with the
fishing tackle.
Remembering all these things, I
feel that a highly important mile
stone was reached when men first
came to see that they could help
out tired woman in bit of house
hold drudgery without suffering
the slightest loss in manly pride
and prestige and all the rest of 1t.
Domestic Ignorance a Disgrace
doubt whether any human being
really likes to wash dishes, and l
can see no reason why women
should like 1t any better than men.
But 1t is certainly a disgrace for
any adult not to know how to wash
dishes and not to stand ready to do
1t whenever. for the moment, that
may seem to be ones Job, And
this Ia a husbands job now and
then In almost every home that 1
can think of.
Homes where all the drudgery is
performed by servants are numeri-
cally few In proportion to the rest
of the population, And even in that
class of society one hears idle
women with frightened faces aRlriRg

Talks to

|, But the big trouble with asking
the child what he wants is that he
takes advantage and gets to think
ing that unless he wants a thing
badly, he doesn't need to take 1t even
though his parents command it.
Therefore, 1t is better not to make
1t a practice to keep asking the child
what he wants.
Be especially careful not to seem
to put too much attention on the boy
at meal time. Very many children
| are spoiled from this cause. And 1t
Is still worse for q parent or any
adult to make remarks at the table
about what the boy likes or dislikes.
Have an understanding with the
other members of the family that
no one is to comment upon the
child's behavior either at the table
or between meals.
If you want him to like bread,
of course, you could use suggestion
to advantage by giving him just a
very little for a few meals and then
starting to tell others in his pres
ence that he is a great bread-eater.
A boy tends to live up to his repu-
tation. And you can make use of
this fact just as easily as to let 1t
work against you, If you use sugges-
tion in the right way.
After your boy once gets down
from his chair, do not even allow
him to come back, much less coax
him to come back. Start him in the
right habits Immediately. If he
doesn't get enough to eat before he
leaves, see that he has some nour-
ishing food that he especially likes
at the next meal.
Treat this boy as nearly like others
at the table as possible.
Keep him very friendly by playing
with him but maintain an attitude
of deliberate f1rmness as to the way
you want him to act at the table.
You may see little progress at first
unless you are a very keen observer,
but this policy consistently carried
out will effectively solve your prob
lem.
