DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
AN ANCHOR TO THE WINDWARD.

or course such women say that a
woman who 10 cooking and sewing and
baby tending has no time to study a
profession on the side. That is true.
But what she ovNrlooks Is the fact that
she was a~pprentioed to the most profit
ablo trade In the world for women-a
trade whose experts arc In universal
~demand--and that she was 40 stupid,
30 trlfling, 40 shiftless that she never
learned 1t well enough to turn out
even a half way decent job. Or else
abe would not have TO be asking people
what she should do to support her chill
dren and herself. She would simply
turn her skilled hand to her own craft
and have to ask charity Of 10 one,
Why the woman who knows that she
must some day make her own living
does not see that housowifcry Ia one
OF the most lucrative professions that
any woman can follow, and why every
woman who has a house does not per-
ceiye that In making herself al expert
cook and Judge Of foods. and a cracker
JACK manager, who can run things on
schedule and extract the last penny OF
value out OF what she buys, she Ia
acquiring the beat OF all trades, il
something that passes comprehension.
Any woman who oau. read can &C.
quire all the arts OF a chef, No woman
needs any experimental field better
than her w Kitchen, No domestic
science university ear teach a woman
AS much about how to buy meats and
vegetables and stop waste ae her "
practical experience win. II Ia simply
Up to the Individual woman whether
abe Will turn herself into n professional
h~ousekeeper, who can practice house.
wifory AZ a gainful occupation, or
whether she will keep on doing II in
an amateurlsh, hit.or- miss way that
will lose money instead OF making 1t,
as every il-oonducted business does,
Tho woman who turns housewifery
into a profession not only Conserves
the health and money OF her family.
but she has a money-mRklnR occupa-
ton right In her hand to which she
can turn in her hour Of need. for there
never haa been and never viii be any
way In which women can 10 surely
and easily make a living as by keep
ing the despised boarding house.
This In proven by. tho fact that every
woman who has ever run one on any
sort OF business basis, who has set a
good table, given good service and
looked after the LEAKS, has made a for
tune, while millions OF Incompetent,
lazy women, who leave servants TO
waste and steal and who never have
a really well cooked meal on their ia
hlos, stu manage to make a living out
Of the occupation.
Therefore, ladies, look not on your
daily work as mere drudgery, to be &C.

Saturn rules strongly for good today,

Selling Is believed TO be subject to

be especially fortunate and the seers
predict sudden rises in value,
This should he a favorable sway for
persons representing the old order OF

later will not be entertained, should
find acceptance more readily than
usual.

In the world.
During this period. which marks the
