DO Office hours from nine 30 five
o'clock limit the effect OF a job uponl
the life Of a young woman? or.
like matrimony, does it pervade hetl
whole existence? In order to de-
termine what the general attitude or
the young woman of today is toward
her work and its importance in her
life, the National Board of ths
Young Womens Christian Associa-
tions is preparing to attack the sub,
ject with an exhaustive qeustionnatre.

work in the work-a-day world as
well as in the home by girls of today.
no one as yet has sought to detere
mine aside from independence and
pocket money, what work means 10,
girls and women. In addition t.
getting expressions Of opinion as to
the girls own attitude toward their
work, the Y. W. c. A. hopes to use
the ultimate results Of the question

evening educational classes for self
advancement
why are you doing the work you
are dcing?" asks the QUESTIONABLE

written many interesting letters to
this country picturing conditions
abroad. In speaking Of the misery
that covers Central and Eastern
Europe, she says:

did hospitals doctors, surgeons and
nurses. there are no sheets, no
soaps, and no hot water. Babies
