Dear Miss Grey. Your CORE.

ton Of the professional mother

Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman
has been preaching her doctrine the
last 20 years. not as some seem 10

but for the benefit Of the woman
who earned wages before marriage.

My observation has been that the
reason married women work away
from home II because they Ike ~
better than the monotony u h6 me
making. and their childr y run the
streets unframed and unkempt.
Mrs. Gilmnn's argument that
many women are untitled by nature

saying that IL such women would
Use the same amount OF brains In
fitting themselves for motherhood
that they use in business or a

Don't abuse the club woman and
mother who started this discussion.
She did not say she believed Mrs.
Oilman's doctrine: In fact. the tone
OF her article Indicated otherwise.
Dear Miss Grey. There is 80
much written nowadays about child
welfare" proper care Of children

While the mothers tongues were

It's an Easy Way

CHERRY'S plan and Cherry's val

than cash buying. It's only a small

smart styles and good fabrics takes
such precedence over everything
else that you really overlook the
fact that they extend to you liberal
