The Rip Van Wrinkle
Of Domestic Science

The reason the American woman's
servant problem should be of simple
solution as compared with her Brit
lsh sisters is because the latter has
been in veritable Rip Van Wrinkle
slumber as regards the progress of
domestic science. Even in many of
the big hotels one does not find such
labor saving devices as the vacuum
cleaner.
At the only hotel at which / could
find accommodations upon my arrival
in London there was one bathroom
to every eighteen rooms or so.
The English servant is expected
to drag as many pals Of hot water
as the habits of the family require.
She must black boots; she must
battle with the dirt that some eight
or nine open freplaces in one home
can be responsible for, and the only
weapon she has is the old-fashioned
broom!
When I told an Englishman that
the average family in America which

know the joy of calling their souls
their own.
10 tempt back into the kitchen as
many of this newly liberated four
hundred thousand as they can is the
task English housewives have set
themselves, and the British govern
ment has put its shoulder to the
wheel to help them.
They won't get them all back, that
they realize, despite the enormous
excess of women; for thousands of
them have lard their plans to emf
CRATE just as soon as there are ships
free to carry them to the colonies
and the dominio,is, where there are
jobs and, more important, prospec-
tive husbands. They will, however,
get some of them back, in view Of
the increasing unemployment of
women, that becomes automatic as
more and more men are demobil-
lied, but only if the promise to
revise the entire status Of the do
nestle worker, her social as we'll as
her economic status, is kept.

certain foods should be "put on" in
cold water and others in boiling; why
the contents of some saucepans
should be kept covered and others
not. And the increase in wages
which these skilled workers will be
able to claim, instead of impoverish-
ing the employer, should John Bull
think logically, will be largely
overcome by the absence of waste
that their newly acquired knowl-
edge should enable them to bring
about and by the decrease in the
number employed.
The establishment Of these train
ing schools was but one Of the rec
concentrations handed in to the Min
lister OF Reconstruction by the wom-
ems committee. A minimum wage,
specified hours of leisure and the
right to organize into trade union
empowered to hold conferences
with the employers are suggestions
that emphasize the Englishwomen's
determination not to do the thing
by half measures.

of any ones hopes. Hot and cold
water baths, single and double
rooms and dormitories-the latter
more like a clubhouse with innu-
merable windows on every side. In
the grounds surrounding were flow
ers and fruits, games and grass,
mountain hikes, lake boating and
swimming, mess hall where "chow"
that was Something like" was
served - indeed, everything that
could be desired.
The home accommodates fifty, and
in an adjoining building, with
"spotless town" kitchen and mess
hall with windows wherever there is
a place to stick one, there is room
for others. There are wide veran-
das and there is a music room and
game rooms and porch that ac-
commodities frequent masquerad de
balls.
This is the summer home for the
Vacation Association girls, and to
enjoy it one need but apply to the
clubhouse at 38 West Thirty-ninth
Street and pay reservation fee of
81. There are no questionnaires to
be signed, no restrictions on liberty.

An Endless Chain
Membership Campaign

In the club the enlisted man when
on leave can get his mail from
home. 1t furnishes a place where
he can have his money orders and
checks cashed. The club has safe

members. The club means head
quarters to meet friends. And it is
also a place to carry COB griev-
ances.
Great Britain has sailors club
IN every one of her ports. Even here
IN New York City she takes care of
her sailors. We Americans never
thought of such scheme until the
war. And now we can't close down
all our makeshift homes for the
boys. The men themselves are or
ganizlng an endless chain of MEM

men.
The ex-service men are to be
members of the club for little
larger sum than the active mem
bers. | feel sure that the gobs will

city, and they are worthy the at

that wanted them"
The Navy Club is the gobs' own.
Perhaps one of the Vaccinations to
the women who go quietly in and
out is the distinctly masculine at
mosphere of the place 1t is COM
Portable and restful, but not dressy,
is this Navy Club. The walls are
lined with war posters and souve-
Mrs of ship days and holidays.
Several gobs are always shooting
pool. Others are always writing
letters and lounging about, reading
magazines. There is music all the
time. Now one sturdy blond young
ster is softly playing the aria from
II Pagliacci." He plays it beauti-
fully, too. Then as he drifts over to
the pool table a dark eyed little fell

One or two extremely tired look
ing sailors are lounging in easy
chairs, and one of them has actually
gone to sleep. He isn't bum. And
he won't be turned out of the club.
He is probably just a very tired
youngster. There is never any dis
order in the Navy Club. And if
there were it would be made short

The hospitality and welcome that
were his during the war are pass

THE navy is enlisting boys of
fifteen and sixteen years." contin-
ued Mrs. Hamilton. THE Navy De-
partment is responsible for their
military discipline and their beha-
vior on board ship. But on shore
here the people Of the City Of New
York are responsible for them. We
as American citizens ought to care
about the character of the person
mel Of our navy. The ships are not
the navy; Secretary Daniels and the
men in the department in Washing
ton are not the navy; the officers
are not the navy; but the over two
hundred thousand boys are the
navy for which all the others exist.

reason so few new enlistments were
being made was that the men held
back because of the way in which
the uniform was regarded in peace

"The Navy Club has won the con-
fdence and approval of the men
with two, three and four hash
marks on their sleeves, and the ap-

no easy thing to get. These men
are behind the club. They know its
value because they remember the
old conditions before it existed.

of them have announced their in
tention of showing their apprecia-
ton of really good domestic helpers
by having them sit at table with the
family at meals. A move like this
has enormous possibilities, but
whether for good or for disaster
only time will tell.
What makes the English servant
problem a really aggravated one is
the antiquity of the architecture OF
the homes and the absence of labor
saving devices. The English servant
problem is Of recent origin, because
the emancipation of the women Of
the lower classes is so recent, where
as the American woman has always
had the independent maid to deal
with. She has seen the direction in
which the servant question was tend
ing, and each year her house has
become more scientifically arranged,
81 IlIdts although Sfe mas not YET
arrived at the stage where she can
sit Edison-like at a switchboard and
run her home by the pressure of
buttons, she nevertheless has had
the good sense to make her house
keeping compact and modern, so that
the departure of Bridget does not
leave sheer tragedy in its wake.
Many American women of moderate
circumstances have arrived at the
point where they no longer hate do
mesticity of the modern variety, but
carry on" quite we'll without
maid.
The English housewife cannot do
this in the present state of the de-
velopment of her home. She will
solve her servant problem instead,
she declares firmly. Her determina-
ton is superb; we shall watch her
performance, as they say at the
races.

Reasons for .
John Bulls Interest

Apart from any ideal motive,
John Bull is interested for two very
practical reasons. In the first place,
the unemployment dole awarded
war workers thrown out their
jobs at the signing of the armistice
soon will be stopped, and no gov
eminent that isn't Bolshevist can
look on alphabetically while hundreds
of thousands of it's citizens starve.
The erstwhile slaveys have made
1t only too clear that they will
starve before they go back under the
old conditions.
In the second place, John Bull
wants an Al nation. He knows that

misfortune anticipated the object
for which the money was to be saved
the Vacation Association returned
to the depositor the money and rem
dered assistance in looking for loca-
tons for summer holidays. The
work grew, and finally a clubhouse
was opened at 38 West Thirty-ninth
Street. Later the association opened
several houses where rooms were
rented by the day or week. A cafe
terra was opened at the clubhouse,
and then music hall. Sponsors Of
the organization agreed that what
was needed was an out-of-town
place.
In the will Of Jacob LangeIoth,
who died several years ago, was
provided, among other things, that
his administrators should purchase a
suitable location and establish free
hospital. The trustees accepted
Valerie House, beautiful old coun-
try house on the road between
Peekskill and Harmon. With the
Hudson River in view, the noun
tains in the rear and lakes on the
grounds, the 1000 acres and house
were purchased. After the armistice
was signed Mrs. Langeloth turned it
over, fully equipped, to the Vaca-
ton Association.

Moons off in the week as well, he
was incredulous.
"Who opens the door if there is
a ring" he asked, "and who serves

| know one woman, in compare
lively moderate circumstances-the
war has left her untouched, Of
course-who rings for her maid if
she wants coal put on the fire,
though the scuttle is directly at hand
and the fire in front of her, and
sne>does not think she is degrading
either herself or the woman she en-
ploys if she rings for the latter to
come and get her a book from the
next room.
A woman war worker, thrown out
of her job by the coming of peace,
thought to have try at domestic
work, and in advertising tackled on
to her ''ad' the simple request to be
allowed to take a bath in the family
tub (many Of the middle class homes
have had antediluvian affairs
installed that go by the name of
tubs!). This simple request brought
forth storms Of protest in the shape
of letters to "The Times" One relic
of bygone day wanted to know
what would become Of the hygiene
OF the family if servants were per-
mitted to use the bathroom! Does
it occur to no one to consider what
the effect is on the family health

Killing the Monotony
Of Housework

How is this to be brought about?
That is the question the skeptic,
who knows the amount of snobbery
which is part and parcel of human
nature, is asking.
"By scientific training and by
propaganda" John Bull replies. Il
will educate the servant to be abso-
lutely proficient in her work. Her
very skill will give her status, will
impress upon those mistresses too
blind and prejudiced now to see it
that if they want this superior kind
of domestic helper they will have to
accord her superior treatment.
Moreover, I will provide mainte-
nance grants to the girls in training
so as to enable a parent to allow his
daughter to undertake it,
Therefore, all over England to-day
government-run schools where pros
pective servants are trained in their
work have been established. An all
around education as we'll as tech
nical instruction is included in the
course. On the theory that the more

the mothers Of the great middle
class are chiefly to be depended upon
to provide it, and he knows, also,
that the modern middle class mother
will not, can not, give him the first
rate future citizens that he wants
to repair wars ravages if she knows
in advance that she will have no one
to help her with her Homework, her
cooking, her laundry, her nursing.
Therefore, John Bull, in the guise
of Sir Auckland Geddes, the Minis
ter Of Reconstruction, appointed a
committee of women representative
of all classes, and, as result of the
findings of that committee, all the
old injustices on the slate of domes-
tic service are to be wiped out and
the writing Of new order placed
thereon.
The biggest item on the slate is
this: The domestic worker must have
