If BUSINESS GIRLS PLAN

They Ought Think Ahead and See Who Is Going to Do the
Cooking and DishUashing

TN1E problem of how girls who work

different combinations the alone in the =

around breakfast in n white front,
lunch at cafeteria and dinner pos =

10 room and board in the same place.
To take room with another girl and
follow either of the eating systems men

To live with family.

of girls.

Where to Send Picture Postals

To the Editor Of the Woman'S Page:
Dear Madam am writing to ask
YOU if you know of any institution or
childrens hospital that would like 100
or more picture posta!s. I want to get
rid of them. know you answer so
many like questions, thought I would
send this before l destroyed them. l
would pay parcel post to anywhere.
MRS. s.
I do know of a children's hospital
that will be glad to have the postals.
st. Christopher's Hospital, Lawrence
and Huntington streets, will take them
for the convalescent children. 1t is a
good plan, if you have the time, to paste
two postals together, so that each side
will be picture. No doubt other chill
dren's hospitals would accept them,
too, or day nurseries. There is a list
of hospitals in the business section of
the telephone book, and the children
hospitals are all designated.

THE question often arises in my
l. mind when look at the new
blouses if, after all, they should not be
called some other name than blouse.
They seem to be so much moro than
just a blouse and play so important a
part in the costuminS, especially do
they impress one when they are so
elaborately trimmed and coming well
nigh to the knees, as they so often do
these days.
The other day in one of the shops
saw a blouse of wonderful lace. made
with a low rounded neck. very short
sleeves, and the body of the garment
plain and straight, reaching a couple
of inches below the hip line. At the
lower edge of the blouse was bcauti-
full thick, white fringe about two feet
in depth. The sleeves and neck were
finished with a stubby, white fringe.
Fringes are extremely good again this
season, especially in the stubby variety
and in the extreme length. both for use
on the blouse aud on froelSs that carry
out the blouse effects, asi SO many of
the new dresses do. Irr

My dear Mrs. Wilson-The fol-

me. Will you kindly tell me the
trouble and give me an accurate

this manner. Thanking you kindly.

as it was informal she selected simple

afterward. for when she got down

Lovett were both in formal evening

in a manner that was much too old for
her but which was vastly becoming.

Adventures
With aPurse

"WHY is it." sighed Dorothea rue
w fully, "that I cant keep laun-
dry bag two weeks without having it
rip down the side?' "For the very
simple reason" I replied in my most
superior manner. that you don't buy
the proper kind" And then feeling that
she had been properly humbled. I told
her of the laundry bags Helen had told
me about. They are made of cretonne
in attractive patterns, and open up the
side instead of at the top. Thus the
clothes can easily be slipped in and
here's an "added attraction: They
unbutton at the bottom, which enables
you to drop the clothes out instead of
having to turn the bag inside out. Isn't
that a splendid idea? They are well
worth the price of S1.25.
Here is something you will want to
take with you on your vacation--a
shoe polishing set. 1t consists of a can
of polish. a nice dauber for applying
the polish. and a soft, woolly brush
shaped polisher. The set costs only
sixty cents and leaves but little excuse
for dusty, unkempt shoes.
Particularly now that we are ex-
periencing scarcity of ice, we must
be sparing in our use of it. The worst
of it is that now is when we need it
most, for iced beverages. A good way
to make the ice go further is by using
a cupt tshaped ice shaver. I am sure
you have seen them--I am not so sure
that you even have not, some years ago,
bought milk balls at the little store near
the school, where you have seen them
used to shave the ice. You can buy one
for twenty five cents.

confusion and the dinner not started.
The trouble is when girls get together
and plan to go housekeeping they are
so enthusiastic they don't believe
they'll mind the work at all in fact
that it'll be just like play. The truth
of It is-a girl is hungry and tired at
9 o'clock and when it comes down to
plain facts she very much objects to
facing another days work.
| have seen the plan work out very
nicely when the girls were able to get
some one, perhaps the ianitor's wife or
a maid employed in the neighborhood,
to come in every day to wash the din
ner and breakfast dishes to do some
thing toward preparing the evening
meal and then to thoroughly clean once
a week.
THEN, too, I saw CO. operative
housekeeping pan out beautifully
with four girls who got along without
any help except an occasional cleaning
by a woman hired by the day. This,
being an exception to the general rule,
was achieved not by good luck. but en-
tirely by good management. Four girls
took small house and then they d.
vided the housekeeping into shifts. For
instance. two of them had complete
charge of getting the meals for one
week and the other two did the dish
washing. Each girl, of course, always
took care of her own room. In this way
there was no heavy strain on any one
of the girls and each always knew just
what was expected of her and there
were never any sarcastic remarks about
how much more one did than the other.
In summing up / would say if you
honestly feel you can satisfactorily ar
range the big important details of
housekeeping then by all means have
this little home of your own. Other
wise it is wiser to ''stick to boarding."
