Nev Goal For Women
Zeal of War Workers May Be Redirected To Bring
Solution of Home Problems
Senior Partner.

'SD@S AA
Government is senior partner In
every home and in every mans bust
ness.
No business man would ever think
of putting in a group of officers in
his business, and then leaving his
business entirely to their trust, with
u further supervision.
The woman who cares for her
home wants to know. too, what the
men in government are doing.
We need the same womanly qua'-
tiles in government that make woman
valuable in the home.
The League Of Women Voters, the
old suffrage organization of New
York, and the Woman's City Club,
are offering courses this winter in the
study of government. with first-hand
knowledge to be gained by visits to
meetings of the board Of aldermen,
the board of estimate and apportiou-
ment and the various city depart
ments. They are holding many open
meetings where public questions are
discussed.
Should Stury Affairs.
Women should first make a careful
town, city, state and nation. and then
get out and take an intelligent part
in the conduct Of their affairs.
BY this / do not mean setting a
watch on public officials with an eye
to criticizing their eveI1 action, but
giving helpful cooperation at a tiSne
when their officials require this Kind
of support. and holding officeholders
up to giving their best to the public
service.
If the same young women would
give to the country now in time of
peace a fr3ction of the service they
gave during the war. they would be
giving equally high patriotic service,
| and at a time when the nation needs
their help as much as it did through
out the war period.

1t certainly pays to know some
thing of the different brands of canned
goods.
The mere fact that a certain brand
is higher in price than another does
not insure its superiority over the less

the shape of the can and the picture
on the wrapper.
There are the acknowledged fancy
packed products of selected fruit and
vegetables. OF course they are x

want to use them whether we buy
them or not.

The problem Of ~concocting a desert
without using either sugar or eggs is
q fairly tough one. But this fig pud-
ding recipe does it and leaves nothing
to be desired. The days when the

NEW YORK, Jan. 9:-This talk
about silk stockings, low-cut gowns
and peekaboo waists shortening
womenis lives, or making them sus-
ceptible to influenza, is all bunk"
said DIR. Royal s.. Copeland, New
York health commissioner, when
asked whether the failure of inf1u-
enza to return this winter was due
to greater care, particularly OF the
part Of women, in dressing warmly.
Women's Business
Dorothy Mortimer, starring in
'Nightie Night" says DIR. Copeland
Is right:
silk stockings, evening gowns,
and other women's fashions which
have been condemned from time TO
time by so-called health experts, are
no more injurious to health than
-bobbed hair or wrist watches!
"Women's fashions are women's
business. Women dress to be at

woman's business. Women will al

like a magical tonic on her; half sit

back into her once more.

knew 1t was more than that. h
had come to a crisis and passed it,
and her mind was at rest. She held
Harry responsible indirectly for the
death of the. baby. She was sure she
could never love him any more.
Tt was strange how Indifferent she
could be to him, she thought. a little
later. She had loved him madly a
year ago. Today-yes. she vas in
different. A year ago it would have
to be able to see him for a month;
a permanent absence would have
seemed unbearable.
And now-all the old feeling was
gone. It was dead, and cold. h
did not want to see him-ever, as
she had told him the night before.
Later. still deliciously warm and
happy in the fresh air, she wondered
what she would do with herself il,

did not want to plan, she did not
want to think even. 1t vas pleasant
ter to doze and dream vague
thoughts. Only she must lot think
about the baby, for that brought a
pang to her heart.
But there was one thing to be
settled first. The closing of the front
door brought this to her mind. She
must not have another meeting with
Harry. If he came home she must
be In her room, not here in the yard,
for here he would see her, and come
persuade her into another mood.
But it was her father who came
out, to her great relief. She went
straight to the point of her problem.

pleasant for me, Father" she said.
Yes, my dear, anything"

not help but worry owe 1t.
IF that's the unpleasant task, I'm

breakfast that he wasn't coming back
he said you had quarreled, but he
thought it was simply a repetition of
last winter and that you would get

Has he enough money to live on
by himself? ?" Louise worried.
HE has some, he told me-" her
father assured her. And gently he
put his hand over hers.
So he had taken her at her word.
He had left her this time. All her
life was in fragments she thought.
Well, then, tomorrow or the next
day. or whenever she felt better, she
would pick up the fragments and
piece together a new sort of life.

ways dress to make the best impress

stockings and sleeveless gowns you
may be sure they will wear them"
Thrown Into Ash Heap
Commenting on the varying sue
cession of women's styles which have
come under fire, from tight corsets,
through high heels, wells and cos
metics to silk stockings, DR.. Copeland
said:
During thirty years medical ex-
p~erience / have seen almost every
theory regarding the dangers of
women's dress thrown into the ash
heap Of discarded medical IDEAS. The
city woman with her silk stockings
and himsy gown ordinarily lives long
er than her sister on the farm. The
dull monotony of old-fashioned coun-
try life is fatal to womankind. In

the Woodworking housewives of the
rural districts than among the dwell
ers Of the city"
