jobs in cooking Cooking is a mans
job and woman's place is the parlor."
AS matter of fact, there probably
are highly paid chefs today who feel
| just that way about it.
! The situation was getting to the
point where there was no place for
the women in the working world to
go but out. There are even some ex-
tremists who believe that the care OF
children should be taken out of the
home and away from the mothers
hands.
ut is here the clnging vine gets
into the picture" said Miss Laughlin.
"She developed as a dollhouse plant,
because there was nothing much for
her to do. Industry had been moved
from the home Woman's place was
still in the home, but there was moth
ing for her to do Often the mothers
of these idle girls were responsible for
their parasitism, because they had had
to work so very hard themselves that
their ideal for their daughters was q
condition which would make 1t pos
sible for them to do nothing harder
than sit on cushion and sew a fine
seam.
! "But the swing backward toward
primitive standards, when woman was
worker, to the cave man period, If
you choose, made a long sweep during
the war. Women had been seeping
into the professions and businesses
before that time, but their progress
had been almost imperceptible.
"Thus old-time efficiency, inherited
from their industrious grandmothers,
no doubt, asserted itself with their new
wartime jobs Employers We're salts
fled and clients made happy. SO the
women are staying with their new
work"
According to Miss Laughlin, there
isn't anything disastrous in the sltua-
ton. She believes that there is plenty
of work to be done for both men and
women in industrial and professional
lines.
Efficiency and work are not mat
ters of SEX" is her dictum.
Miss Laughlin is far from the "cave
woman" in looks, but she is endowed
with a vigor of mind and spirit which
would do her cave grandmothers
credit. Miss Laughlin practices lew
In San Francisco She was born In
New England. Her college education
was secured at Wellesley and she was

Later Miss Laughlin went to Colo
RADIO, where she was active in politics,
women having been granted the right
to vote in that state while she was
in college. A number Of years ago
Miss Laughlin went to San Francisco
and there she has built up large law
practice. At first her clients were
nearly all women. But the war added
men TO the list. And these men, who
went to her first because their former
counsel had gone to war, have found
the woman lawyer so competent that
they retained her even when the man
returned to their Offices.

it became mans work.
"Now homework is diminishing to
such an extent that many women, If
they are to work at all, must go to
the office or the factory" said Miss
Laughlln.
"In the beginnings of the profess
sions women did not make much of
showing. They practiced medicine
in the actual care of the sick. But
medicine, as a profession, was linked
in primitive times with tribal leader
ship and with priestcraft to such an
extent that it belonged almost entirely
to men.
1T has been only in the last few
years that women were admitted to
our medical schools of any standing.
And the few women physicians before
the war had little or no real practice.

Laughlin, ''the progress of modern in

took from the home so much of its
drudgery had not reached there when
l was little girl.

Cooking, homemaking and dress
making are still done in the homes
all over the country to such an extent
that they are still considered women's
work, Miss Laughlin pointed ont. But
with community housekeeping and

clothes, the day may come when the

nave seen IN our great war the way In
which men and women naturally lined
up On the primitive basis. The men
OF the nations, in this country, Eng
iand, France and the Others went into
military service. The women took up
the industries.
Now the surprise attendant upon
the news that women were working
in munitiOn factories, were running
streetcars and doing mems work in
| offices wouldn't have been so great,
perhaps, if we had all remembered a
little more of our pre-history."
Miss Laughlin reminds US that in
his account Of primitive races the late
Otis 7. Mason, curator of ethnology
in the United States National Museum,
points out some Of the industries which
began as woman's work. He says:
".Ehe slain deer lying before her cave

moves the skin, little dreaming that
thereby she is making herself the
patron saint of all subsequent
butchers.
"She rolls UP the hide, then dresses
1t with brains, smokes it, curries 1t,
breaks it with implements Of stone
and bone until she makes her reputa-
ton as the first currier and tanner.
with needle of bone and thread of
sinew and scissors Of flint, she cuts
and makes the clothing for her lord
and family; no sign is over the door,
but within dwells the first tailor and
dressmaker.
"From leather especially prepared
she cuts and makes moccasins for her
husband, thereby beginning the shoe
industry.
''She was toymaker for her chill
dren, rnodiste, milliner, uphOlsterer,
wall decorator for her family.
"She was at first and is now the
universal cook. From the grasses
around her cabin she constructs the
floor mat, the mattress, the screen, the
wallet, the sail.
"She is the mother of all spinners,
weavers, upholsterers sailmakers."
Again he says:
'To the field she goes with the
basket or wallet strapped across her
forehead. By the sweat of her face
she earns her bread and becomes the
first pack animal"
"Home again with her grain or
acorns, she thrashed and ground them
into flour or bran, thereby mOthering
the thrashing industry and the mill
ing. Where it was impossible to find
caves or natural shelter for her family
she designed and built the first wig
vans and forerunners f houses, thus
being the first architect.
"An the peaceful arts Of today"
continues the account, "were once
womans peculiar province. Along
lines Of industriallsm she was pio-
neer, inventor, author and originator"

tion. And if the modern man is go
ing to have visions of the good old
days Of the cave man he must be con-
Sistent and include in his delectable
dream the real cave woman"
Later, in her apartment in a hotel,
Miss Laughlin went into the subject
with New York Tribune reporter in
a manner which showed that she has
given much study to the domestic ar
engagements of the man and the woman
whose wooing consisted of a footrace
and blow on the lady's head with
some hard, blunt instrument.
IF the men insist on delving into
the secrets of those mOnOlithic prede-
cessors of the New York apartment
house." said Miss Laughlin, "then they
must take the consequences and an
swer by what right they can call any
work the work of meA, unless perhaps
1t is hunting and fishing, Back in that
ideal period for which the modern man
pines practically all Of the work be-
Eonged to the women. SO when our
men talk about mans work I'd like to
know Just what they mean"
Kipling is one of the few men who
really understand what the relation
shin of the cave man and the cave
woman was. according to Miss Laugh
lin. AS proof Of her contention she
cites his "Just SO" stories, which ne
told to his "best beloved" You Will
remember the place where it says:
"The man was wild, too. He was
dreadfulIy wild. He didn't even begin
to be tame until he met the woman,
and she told him that she did not like
Giving in hi wild ways"
You will remember how it was. she
picked out a nice, dry cave (proVlng,
by the way, that there was a cave
woman before there was cave man),
and she cleaned house properly ana
hing a dried wild horse skin across
the opening of the cave and said:
"Wipe your feet, dear, when you
come in, and now Wen keep house"
And the man came in and lay down
haside the fire that the woman mad
huilt and went to sleep.
"But lust before he dozed off" said
Mics Laughlin, she probably threw
ant his chest and remarked that he
was cave man himself and believed
that woman's place was in the
home"
And Miss Laughlin agrees with Mr..
vinling in the theory that the motive
Cor keeping house was the protection
