he thought il over the more he became
convinced that the feathers would pay
enough for the honey.
Mr.. Fox trotted around TO Raccy

he did not mention that there would re

Now both these two housewives were
probably wrong in their deductions. And
they are probably ms well fitted for the
labors of housework rs the next house
wife, so far as inherent constitution goes.
The trouble is that they are not used to
doing the work in a way that makes 1t

Mr.. Fox was so much wiser than
the other animals that he often could use
his wits where the others had TO do real
work to get the things they liiso 10 eat.
Among other things that MIR. Fox
liked. not better than ducks or chick
ems, of course. but among other things
for which he had fondness was honey.
Mr.. Bear sometimes invited him to
take dinner with him and then, of course,
Mr.. Fox ate honey. But ne ncvrr had
it any other time, for he was not able to
brave the danger of gathering honey
as WAS Mr.. Bear or MIR. Coon, because,
somehow, Mr.. Fox always WAS afraid
something q would happen TO his nose.
One day he saw Raccy Coon trudg-

According to the Biblical legend.
work was sent upon man as curse,
IL this 10 true the curse has turned
into q blessing. for probably the
nearest approach to ideal human
happiness that anyone ever reaches
Is when he is engaged In some con-
genial labor to which he is giving
every energy Of his body, and every
bit OF the intelligence of his mind.
Work makes for sanity and
health. II Is the one sure cure for
boredom. II IL the mother OF vir-
tue and the< hand maiden Of the
higher life. 1t is q shield and
buckler against temptation, and the
secret of contentment
We all know the eficacy Of work
| as II Affects men. Also we know
the dangers of idleness, and so as
soon as they are through school or
college we hasten to get our boys
started at some business or pro-
fession, as much for their moral
protection as for the money they
will earn.
But strangely enough while we
recognize that work IL the greatest
still bound by the thralldom Of the
old superstition that the curse Of
work holds for q woman. and that
she Is to be pitied and commiserated
II she has to perform any sort of
useful labor.
Men actually work themselves to
| death SO that their wives and
daughters may lead perfectly idle.
m ~ r
of a working girl we do SO In ac-
cents of compassion as OF one who
is the victim Of undeserved misfor-
tune.
or all the stupid theories to
which We have pinned our faith
| none 10 quite so asinine as this
| belief that work Is q curse to
women, and that a man best shows
| when he maintains them in q para
but "sit on a silk cushion and sew
| berries, sugar and cream"
/ Women need to work just a
much as men need to and for the
very self same reasons. and when
they do not have any work to do
they deteriorate in idleness in mind
and body. Just as men do.
II IL the women who have no
work to do who enable doctors to
roll around in limousines. and who
all hospitals. The real remedy for
| niue-tenths OF the illness among
women that makes them semi in
valids and nervous wrecks is q
good job.
The woman who has enough
money to live on, so that she does
not have to work, has nothing to
do but think about herself. Lacking
other interesting occupations she
begins to explore her system for
symptoms Of obscure diseases, and
OF course she finds them, or
imagines she does. and from then
The Washington herald., 1920-01-02

on she makes a business OF being
sick for the next forty or fifty
years. Because idle women have
made q diversion of being sick the
female sex has got the reputa-
tion OF being frail and delicate, SO
that In discussing woman's ability
to take part in the worlds work we
have wondered II she had the physi-
cal stamina to stand Il.
Experience, however. has proved
that the only thing that allied
woman was the lack OF work, and
that as soon as she got something
to do that was worth while, and
that occupied her thoughts and at
tention. she forgot about her heart,
and her appendix. and her nerves.
and displayed q marvellous strength
and staying power.
1t Is the women who have no
work to do, nothing to occupy their
thoughts and energies, who get into
all sorts of unsavory scandals. It's
simply q case of Satan finding work
for idle hands to do.
Time hangs heavily on these
women's hands, and to kill II they
fill their minds with erotic, un-
wholesome ideas that they get from
rotten novels. They haunt matt
nees and concerts. and make fools
Of themselves over handsome ac-
tors and long haired musicians
They go Ia droves to afternoon
tea dancen and make the acQuaint-
ance of tango trimmers and lounge
lizards. with whom they carry on
fiirtations that would land them in
thu AfUaEaa n fhAtr
bands ever found out about It.
These women are not intrinsicaI-
ly bad. they have not loose morals
to start with. They are simply the
victims of idleness and money.
There isn't q one Of them who
couldn't be saved by eight hours
day of hard labor. You don't
hear OF any woman who is holding
down a good Job clipping with a
movie hero, or being robbed by a
pinched in dancing master.
There is nothing more touching.
or pitiful than to think that the
men who toll so hard in order that
their womenkind may loaf through
life, are blindly and unIntentionally
thrusting their wives into the very
arms OF temptation and running
their own home, and wrecking their
happiness. For IT Is the idle wives
who are the extravagant wives, the
neurotic, unreasonable, discomfort
ed. querulous wives.
And this is inevitable. because
the woman who has nothing else
to do L. abound to spend money to
divert herself, and she IL bogld to
be disappointed, for she is always
sure to find someone who can dress
finer than she can.
What we call the feminine I'M
rest of today is nothing but women
begging and praying for work We
can settle the whole problem by
giving them jobs.

FRIDAY. JANUARY .. 1870.

According to astrology the plane
tary rule for this day Is not i'm
portant. Venus is in a benefc as
pect. but Mars is strongly adverse.
Little prospect Of universal peace
appears in the planetary govern
ment OF the world during the new
year.
Turkey. Switzerland and the West
Indies as we'll as France and Italy
are subject to a sway that BODIES
i'll for the happiness of the people
or the stability of government.
This is read as a lucky conhgu-
ration under which to give enter
tainments. Hospitality is well di-
rected. since the planets that
dominate seem to promise respon-
siveness and appreciation on the
part of guests.
Women are under = direction of
the stars making for romance and

tunate while this sway prevails.
Congress and all legislative bodies
are subject to the most disturbing
conditions. for they will be ham

sensions, according to the interpre-
! tation OF astrologers.
Political PARTIES have the fore
shadowing OF extreme effort In
which their plans will be set at

Candidates will multiply and he
