The Two Sides of Service

When President Harding, a few
days ago, presented to Madame
Curie, the discoverer of radium, a
gram of that wonderful and pre-
clous element in the name of the
women of America, he greeted her
as foremost among scientists in
an age of science, as a leader
among women in a generation
which sees woman come tardily
into her own"
He said: eve lay at your feet
the testimony Of that love which
all the generations Of men have
been wont to bestow upon the
noble woman, the unselfsh wife,
the devoted mother. If, indeed,
these simpler relations of life could

No .Fuss'' at Her Wedding

Miss Lolita Armour will be mar
ried Saturday, June 18th. She is
sole heir to sixty million dollars
and society expected that when
she married John j. Mitchell, Jr.,
son of the multi-millionaire Chi
cago banker, the ceremony would
be a brilliant affair, but Miss Lolita
wills it otherwise. She says she
may be a bit oid-fashioned but she
won't have any "fuss" at her we'd
ding, although it is said there is to
be four thousand worth of lace on
her wedding gown.

Our Goal Becoming Clear

When Nine. Curie received from
President Harding the leaden box
containing the tiny tube of radium
valued at 100000 she said: ~
accept this rare gift, Mr.. President
with the hope that l may make it
serve mankind.
These words may be taken to
set forth the purpose not of this
one woman alone, but of all her
sisters everywhere in civilized ma
tons. In every country where the
rights Of women have been recog.
nized, they are turning their eff
forts increasingly to the things
that will promote human welfare
and alleviate human suffering
Thus in our own country we find
them gradually centering their
efforts upon social welfare work,
the promotion Of public health,
the protection of motherhood and
childhood, the improvement Of ed
ucation, the promotion of peace
the reduction Of ornaments, and
other similar movements anc
measures.
If we are able to judge the wo
men of the race by the form which
their program has been taking
during the past few months, il
seems that Nine. Curie has Spoken
what is in the minds of al
OF them, for all seem devoted
to the service Of mankind.

The Holy Bond Weakening

One Of the distinguishing marks
Of the American people is their
frivolous attitude toward marriage.
Because divorces are so easily OBJ
tanned, it seems that we have come
to look lightly upon wedlock, with
all the relations of home and fam
lily; and by reason of this fact we
are coming to be thought of as a
people apart by other civilized
nations.
In the entire dominion of Can
ada last year there were just twen-
ty divorces; and these were grant,
ed by act Of parliament as the
courts had no authority to grant
them.
In;the city of Denver, on the
other hand, the number Of divorces
granted in the same time was more
than one thousand, notwithstand-
ing the population Of Denver is
less than one thirtieth as great as
that of Canada. If the divorce
rate in Canada were as great as
that of Denver, the number of di-
vorces per year would be between
thirty thousand and thirty-fve
thousand instead of merely twenty.
Or putting it in another way, Den
yer has more than fifteen hundred
times as many divorces in proper
ton to its population as does the
Dominion of Canada.

AS the Courts See Wifehood

The decision of the Kansas Su-
preme Court referred to above
grows out Of a marriage which oc-
Cured in 1882. The two parties
to it had at that time Just seven
hundred dollars between them.
Now their estate amounts to
$4,000 and they have raised a
fine family besides.
The trouble between them arose
from the fact that both were de-
voutly religious but held to differ
ent faiths. For many years there
has been a continuous religious
brawl in their home. In addition
to this, the husband was one who
believed in the complete subordi-
nation Of the wife, who kept from
her all knowledge of his business
affairs, who demanded from her
the most rigid economy, and who
finally sought to punish her for her
independence Of thought in reli-
gion by giving the property to
others.
Neither his religion nor his view
OF the marital relation was upheld
by the courts. AS they see it, the
spirit of Christianity does not per-
nit any such selfish, intolerant
and revengeful course as he has
taken, but is the spirit of peace
and good will instead; and as for
the subsection Of the wife to the
husband, the court decision says:
Nothing remains in Kansas Of
the old idea that a married woman
is subordinate to her husband. The
wife is not under legal disabilities
of any sort"

Training Our Girls

AS our boys and girls grow in
years we must not relax our vigil
lance in directing their course along
lines, which will lead them into
lives of usefulness.
Our boys should be taught to be
manly, self-reliant, kind and con-
siderate of others, and our girls
should be thoroughly trained in
housewifery.
Miss Enid Aubrey's "charm
school, which is conducted in the
Y. w. G A., in Chicago, has re-
Gently turned out fifteen girls who,
it is said, have mastered the art Of
conducting a home successfully.
They were taught how to pre-
pare the delicious dinners that men
like, how to manage the house eco
nomically without skirting the
brink OF financial ruin, how to dress
and how to take care of the wage
Garner and avoid friction.
Every girl should be thoroughly
trained in this line and every moth
er should be capable Of instructing
her girls in the housewives duties
in the home.

self, but she should see that they

self, but she should see that they
are properly performed.
Il like to know my husband is
glad to come into his home; that
it means relaxation, comfort and
pleasure to him."
In the keeping Of the home Mrs.
Harding is an example of true
American wifehood. Although her
social duties as the wife of the
president of the United States are
onerous, her duties as keeper of the
home are faithfully performed.

Women Acquire New Standing
What interest should a woman
have in the property which she in
her capacity of homekeeper has
helped her husband to accumulate?
In many states she has virtually
no interest at all in it. Instead,
the husband is given the right to
bequeath any or all of it to others
if he so desires regardless of the
fact that it was acquired by the
joint efforts of the two rather than
by his own efforts alone.
The supreme court of Kansas
has just decided against this COM
mon practice and so has given to
the women of that state much
higher status in the matter of hold
ing title to property than is en-
joyed by the women of other
states generally. Henceforth the
wife's interest is precisely the same
as that of the husband in the prop
erty which the two together have
accumulated.
Of course it is true that most
men do not take advantage of
their superior rights to deprive
their helpmeets of the fruits of
their joint industry in their old
age. But there are some who do;
and there have been many wives in
every state who have been COM
PEELED to live their last years in
comparative poverty after having
helped their husbands to build up
substantial estates.

The Problems of
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
Mrs. Harding's Views

Mrs. Harding, the first lady oi
the land, has refrained from giving
interviews to reporters. She has
made one exception in favor Of a
Chicago woman, who is an old &C
quaintance.
Mrs. Harding is said to be a real
homemaker and her ideas of the
housewives duties as her part of
the marriage compact is encourag-
ing to the masculine heart in the
face of the fear that the housewives
public duties would unfit her for
the service, which is so necessary
in every we'll ordered home. She
is quoted as saying:
I'm the first three weeks Mr..
Harding and | were in the White
House | received three thousand
requests for handkerchiefs for ba-
Ears. Every day requests reach
me for anything from a quarter
million dollars to Is cents
i was asked to adopt a French
orphan. A splendid work, q fine
idea, though if did follow it
would adopt one Of our American
orphans. Ihave two lovely babies
OF my own, you know, my grand
children. | want them to do some
thing worth while and my mother
interest is expended in their di-
rection.
"Then, of course, I have Mr..
Harding. Every wife must have
her material phase.
my big job is to keep my hus-
band comfortable and happy in
his home, to create an atmosphere
OF good cheer so that he may go to
his duties with a mind and. body
fit to serve the nation which has so
honored him.
Il regard this as sacred trust
with which nothing must interfere.
To slight or neglect it would be
rank disloyalty.
Every wife owes such service
to her husband and to her home.
When she has discharged that duty
she hould be free to pursue her
own work, her art, her business,
but that much, at least, she owes
to her family.
ut is her part Of the marriage
bargain. She need not necessarily
perform the household labors her.

Dirt which sends clothing and
other household fabrics to the
laundry can be washed out without
the hard rubbing that has always
been the treatment given them,
according to Miss Glenna Hesse of
the home economics division of
Iowa State College.
Much energy can be saved and
home washing made easier if the
old time dashboard be eliminated
from the washing apparatus and
scientific methods applied.
Nowadays, says Miss Hesse,
eve look on the rubbing as merely
a vigorous agitation which wears
out the fabrics. Instead we sub
stitute good soap solutions and
allow them to remove the dirt"
Take borax and neutral soap for
soft water or, sal soda and laundry
soap for hard water, make a good
solution Of suds and then put the
clothes in this. With only a little
agitation the dirt will soon be re-
moved as effectively as when it was
rubbed out. With this arrange
ment boiling is not necessary, as
this is merely futher agitation.
If boiling is used to sterilize cloth
ing, the same result can be secured
by hot mangling or ironing, which
has the same disinfecting proper
ties.
The dirt gathered on personal
apparel is held there by the oil
from the body.
When washing machine is used
BIT furnishes agitation. The soap
solution added to the water and a
strong suds made before clothes are
added does the work of lberating
the dirt.
The clothes are rinsed with hot
water to cleanse free from soap,
rinsed again in a clear cool water
and finally thru a bluing water.
