The Married Women Workers

TO the Editor Of Womun's Page; ~
Dear Madam-There appeared on the
page lately a letter signed IA Feme
Sole" The young lady (if I may call her
that) has all of a sudden popped up and
scored the married women workers
When the war broke out in this coun-
try. and the boys were called to the
fight "over there" the women Ga num-
ber Of them married) took the positions
of the boys who went to help the coun-
try. The positions had to be filled and
who would fill them II the women didn't?
You say you give them credit for what
they have done, but it is their place now
TO go back and attend TO their house,
keeping that If they don't the chances
of YOU single business women will be
ruined. My dear. the women (married)
took the positions for the mere reason
that the boys were not here. They are
only too willing to give them back to
the boys who fought SO hard for the
safety of the country. They are not
knows that the woman that has his place
over here will return 1t to him with
proud smile. and happy to think that he
is alive to come back and start over
again.
Why do you score them? You talk
as though the married women workers"
were trying to cheat the single women
out Of their positions. They were not
fighting soldiers" ard now they will
return back, as you lay' to the house
keeping.
Yes the poor woman should stay at
home all very true. according to your
estimation of the life of women, yet
they wonder why the married women
get older sooner and haggard looking
but if they only knew that it Is worry
ing you young Danes sick because
they are able to take positions, and get
fresh air. ETC., they would see how hope
less 1t is for woman to try to keep
young.
During the war, my dear, every one
tried to smile and be brave You see her
husband was over there, perhaps he
would never return. You single girls
knew none of the horrors of losing one
or the struggle to live IL he should never
return.
Talk about vampires the young danes
are the ones who are always wondering
II they look just SO. regardless of the
fact that their work Is waiting to be
done. They will never hesitate whether
man be married or single If they are
promised a pleasant evening.
II the men fiuttered around them the
married women must have been very
popular. and I bet the business men
will miss them. HELEN II.

There Is Nothing Monotonous
About WOmen'S Spring Suits

Each seems to have its own definite idea of
what Spring suit should be, and generally it is
an idea that is different from others. All of
which is very pleasing to women of individual
tastes.
The useful street suit is generally made of
serge, poplin, gabardine or tricotne. Some
times it is cut with straight box lines guiltless
of belt Again, it blouses distinctly in back
and front and has a belt or a girdle of twisted
cord. Other suits are tailored with only buttons
and embroidered crows feet for trimming
Innings either of self-colored peau de cygne
or of gay, figured silk. Excellent choosing at
s25, S35, $3.50 and upward to s75.

trimmed with tassels or with

WELL NAMED,

In an article entitled "a Blast
From He'll" Leslie's Weekly aptly
names the bolshevist movement in
Russia. 1t says:
Bolshevism has not only wrecked
Russia industrially. il has also done
its best TO destroy morality and re-
ligion. Allowing for all exaggera-
tions there can be no question that
the aim of bolshevism is the destrGc-
tion of family life and the abrogation
OF accepted moral standards. 1t has
been stated by some that women have
been nationalized, while other travel
ers in Russia declare they have seen
nothing OF the sort. The truth seems
that it was not attempted in the ear
Iier part of the bolshevist regime,
and that there may not yet have been
issued a decree from the Contra, So
Wet to this effect.
On the testimony Of Ambassador
The evening herald. (Klamath Falls, Or.) 1906-1942, 1919-05-05

Francis and others, however, yar!ous
provincial soviets have issued such
DEGREES, and this is unGuestiOnably
the purpose Of bolshevism as soon as
it is sure of its power to make the
decree effective. Bolshevism recog.
nizes no God, no moral code, none Of
the moral standards of civilized peo.
pies. Most OF the Russian people are
represented as hating and fearing It,
but with the Reds in possession OF tho
food, the money and the guns, there
is little they can do to oppose 1t.
This is the detestable things That
threatens the life OF civilization. Any
step toward recognition of the alb.
horrent bolsheyist element as ma
thional entity, or any move to COM
promise with it, would be condemned
by the moral sentiment of all really
civilized mankind. :
