Discomfort with home conditions
rather than long hours OF over
work, is partly responsible for the
! poor health so prevalent among the
industrially employed girls of to-
day, according to DIR. Kristine
Mann, head of the health center for
women in New York city under the
direction of the Y w. G. A. From
an examination she recently com
pleted of more than 1000 women
and girls engaged in gainful occu-
pations in factories and business
houses, DR.. Mann points out that
industrial conditions are not the
only factors in the rapid deteriora-
ton of health among the girls. I'm
happy home conditions and maI-ad-
justments 10 life generally rank as
handlcaps, she said.
Many of the so-called working
girls suffer acutely from unhappi-
ness and friction in their family
lives" said Dr. Mann, who is daily
and nightly helping girls and wom-
en- back to better health. "A girls
health depends very greatly on her
mental attitude; if she is suffering
from mental strain, there is bound
to be marked reaction in her
physical condition. The time has
passed when an unmarried girl of
% is regarded as doomed to spin
sterhoOd. Her pay envelope gives
her a certain comfortable feeling of
independence which makes any IN
due restrictions imposed upon her
at home difficult to bear. The IN
happiness that results is not only
reflected in her attitude toward her
home and work but in her physical
condition"
DR.. Mann said that the physical
condition of employed girls and
women rs shown in her recently
compiled statistics displays rapid
deterioration.
The physical condition of the
average woman in industry is de-
bad she continued, "the
worst feature being her marked
tendency to develop physical ills
and weaknesses from the time she
enters employment, largely due to
the expenditure OF her free hours |
and lack of exercise" |
1t is the belief of DR.. Mann that |
every home would be happier if tne l
wife had previously been seIf-sup- |
porting.
Every woman, whether she ex-
paets to marry or not. should, l be-
ieve, experience that feeling OF

in the book. Eat and Grow Thin -
You can find many helpful sugges-
tons in it. OF course you know
you should avoid starchy foods
such as white bread, potatoes and
beans, and also sweets, rich foods
and fats. If you only eat one po-
tato, well cooked meats and do not
take liquids such as water, tea or
coffee with your meals you will
probably drop off in weight. Peo-
pie who are inclined TO be stout
should do their drinking between
meals.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 have
been keeping steady company with
young man of good character.
We were at one time deeply in love
and engaged. / consider that it is
not true love to take another girl
home besides the steady when a
couple is engaged.
One evening he had asked me TO
go to dance and 1 promised him l
would. He called for me at the
regular time, but / had to work
that evening and was not home. He
went TO the dance and took home a
girl. She is not a near friend of
mine, but as she clerks in the same
store l do she was telling me about
the fellow who had taken her home
the night before. She did not know
we were engaged.
l called him up that evening
when l got home and asked him to
Ioue ONei anu ne u1u. Wnen
asked him about it he denied it,
but l was positive he took her
home. 1 gave him back the ring
and broke our engagement.
This happened a couple Of weeks
ago. A few days ago l received It
letter from him asking if l wouldn't
go back. Now he says he did take
the girl home. He says he loves me
and no one else will ever take my
place. 1 was very true to him and
still love him AS he is a foreign
er l cannot love him as much as
l should. Why is this? His folks
are wealthy and very nice people.
