With all our various Associations
for This and Associations for That we
have one new one thrust upon us,
which seems to have been organized
in New York City. which has issued
handbills announcing to the world in
general that an Association of
| Overworked-Underp Dishwashing
Housewives has been launched upon
its career. The headquarters of the
organization, according to the bills,
are ''by the cook stove and the cradle
with the washtub nearby"
We are not quite sire what the So
called "Dishwashing Housewives are
yearning for. but the gist of their
| handful plea seems to be that girls
who work downtown may wear short
skirts, and bob" the hair while all
women not obliged to earn a living
ana those VINO stay at nome ndNlHS
| fathers, husbands or brothers as pro-
viders, are obliged to wear long skirts,
permit the hair to grow and uncover
| the ears.
| Our personal opinion is that the
Housewives association should come
out to Kansas and look over the feld
before making a plea of this sort, for
the homemaking women out here
wear their skirts just as short as any
one else, and also have the courage to
bob their hair.
