WORKING WIVES
Direct BARRAGE
At. SINGLE SISTERS
War OF Words Grows Hotter a.
Married Employees Hit
Opposition.

Are single girls employed In the
Government departments thinking
more industriously on how they can
telephone Jimmy. or Jack. or Billy
during office hours than they are on
the work In hand?
So claims "Married"--a Govern
ment worker who haA--iiscovcred two
can't live quite as cheaply as one.
and consequently 10 anxious to keep
her name off the lists in the can
ming room of her bureau.
II don't think II IL up to the
unmarried girls to say that a man
amount with which unmarried girls
are struggling along. II is a mis-
taken theory that two can live ~
cheapiy as one. As for this powder
and paint c<arge against the mar
ried women. the unmarried girls
can't say much.
MARRIED. WORKERS BETTER
1T has been generally conceded
by many of the bureau chiefs that
they get better work from the mar
ried women than from any of tho
single girls. The unmarried woman
has her mind on the time she is go-
ing to have with her friends in the
evening. She is planning how she
can phone or meet Jack or Bill or
Jimmy before the evening date.
why should the married women
be blamed for displaying good taste
In dress. Most married women are
able to make their own clothes. and
they would be very foolish not TO
employ their talent to their own
advantage.
Someone has written that most
married women should fearn house,
keeping. but that Undoubtedly most
OF them are not qualified to work.
II this girl doesn't call what the
married women are doing for the
Government work then she doesn't
work herself. Mai.y married women
are keeping house ana giving homes
TO these girls who complain so bit
terly. in addition to their work at
the office"
Apropos the double meal ticket
costing a double price, another writer
to The Times says:
sTABs OLD THEORY.
You can't get around the fact
that two people. married or unmar-
ried, are two people. They require
the same amount of money to pro-
vide for their wants Just as they did
before they were. married. I have
been wondering II some of these
unmarried girls would like to live
on half of their present salaries.
That is practically what a young
couple does unless the wife contin-
ues TO work, Each must be content
with half the income formerly re-
ceived.
IF the unmarried girls believe
that husbands and wives working
In the Government service are so
financially well off. they are mis-
taken. i hope that when these un-
married girls get older they viii
receive more kindiiness and con-
sideration from the young people
than they are apparently willing to
accord to older people now"

LOVE AND MIsCHIEF-MAKERs.

Relative to the love talk we've
been having, FRED VETTER goes
to one of the great poets for these
lines:
| Whenever . heart in pure love glows
oh, touch it not, and OH take heed
Do not destroy the spark divine,
II were not fairly done, indeed.
"If anywhere upon this earth
sacred little spot there be,
1t is youthful human heart
That burns in first love piously."
Mighty pretty, but the sweet
status mentioned by the poet, Vetter
thinks, is too often spoiled by med
dlers, tattle-tales and mischief
makers. 80 te
