the reception--there was sort of
rounded train of the blue tulle that hung
from the shoulders. and was finished
with a band of the velvet like a broad
hem that gave the lower edge weight
and held 1t in place. She wore long
white gloves that met the light drapery

guests. carrying himself gallantly, and
constantly surrounded by friends and
admirers. but looking far from we'll and

capacity when the famous French fight

he should have been brought here just

N WASHINGTON. April -
II ASTER week in Washington is
generally fairly strenuous.
And this year, in addition to
the usual activities of the season, there
was big state function'-the army

ester at that time; and there has been

Really the traditional Easter bridal
procession has almost been crowded
off the map-or out of the church
aisle, one should say. There has been
bumper crop OF brides. but none of
them were of great interest outside of
Washington; and for a fact Washing
ton has been too busy to pay much
attention TO them, outside of their own
families and intimates. Brides seem
TO be losing their grip on public in
terest.
Well. to begin at the White House.
Mrs. Harding certainly is wonder.
She is not we'll. But no one would
ever guess 1t. and she works harder
at her job than any former mistress
of TIE White House. At the special
party she gave Tuesday afternoon for
the Ohio Daughters. here for the

congress. she said to one who made
some deprecating remark about no
longer being one of the Hardings' con-
stituents. why? Have you moved
out of TIE country? Short of that you
are more than ever one of our con-
stituents. For our constituency takes
in the whole United States nowadays"
And she meant it. The Hardings seem
to feel that way about it
Army and Navy Reception.
Probably the biggest single ordeal of
the week was the army and navy recep-
ton. 1t was quite the biggest of the
White House parties this season. No
wonder there had come repeated an

HER POCKETBOOK

If YOU can remember back 30 years, you can recall that
very few women were employed in business, except in such
places as drygoods stores, restaurants, schools. hospitals.
theatricals and small-town postoffices.
Today there is hardly a business you can walk into with
out finding women on the payroll and oftsn IN charge.
1t makes you wonder, sometimes, "how far the thing
will go"-and if, at some future date, the woman not on the
payroll of some business organization will be the exception.
The possibility now looms, that the flood of women into
business has reached its high-water mark. This unique turn
of events is suggested by a survey made by Henry ID. Sayer,
industrial commissioner of New York state. Economists say
that "York State business conditions are usually typical of
the national situation.
Sayeris report is that women gainfully employed in New
York state number 1,13594s, or about a ninth of the total
population.
It's a big figure. but only Id, $50 more women than
learned their own living 10 years ago. Is
The increase barely has kept pace with gain in popula-
ton. On the basis of population, the percentage of New York
women gainfully employed has stood still during the last
decade. IS
Surprising occupations are selected by many of the New
York women. 81
They are employed as undertakers, teamsters, horse doc
tors, aeronauts, c~onstables, architects, chemists, ~clergymen,
dentists, lawyers, inventors and mechanical ard electrical
engineers. -
The list continues at great length. Its variety suggests
that women could duplicate every business achievement by
man. 1t is all a matter of training and environment.
That is natural. Some of the wisest and most powerful
rulers of history have been women-notably Elizabeth of Eng
who pawned her jewels to finance Columbus, and the inven.
tor of the silk industry-wife Of Huang-Ti, Chinese emperor.
The economic independence of women is an exceptionally
good thing, from most viewpoints. (
The goal of every women, however, should be homemak-.
ing and motherhood. Nature generally takes care of that and
makes arguments, forand-against s%uperfuous.
Whether the tide has turned and women are gravitating
to the home instead of business, remains to be seen. 1t would,
however, be a natural accompaniment of the present gradual
re-birth Of old-fashioned home life.

1omoRRow,s MEMORIAL SERVICE

A notable historic event will take place in Perth Amboy
tomorrow. The two hundredth anniversary of the death of
Thomas Gordon, colonial secretary of the Province Of East
Jersey and secretary of the colony, will be fttingly observed
by the unwilling of a memorial tablet at the grave OF this
famous colonist in st. Peters churchyard. Preceding the
unwilling there will be a memorial service in st. Peters
church.
Thomas Gordon, as far as is known, is the only one OF
the original settlers of Perth Amboy buried here. He was
not only one of the founders of Perth Amboy, but he was one
of the organizers of st. Peters church.
This event is really the first attempt to be made in
Perth Amboy to perpetuate the memory of the early settlers
The city is rich in historic associations. The organizing
here of a historical society is a big step toward bringing out
and preserving the glories of Perth Amboys past.
The city is indebted to the Caledonian Society for to-
morrow's event. This organization composed OF Scotchmen
or descendants of Scotchmen, has taken a big interest IN
Perth Amboy's early history because it was a body OF people
from Scotland who first located here and found it a good
place 10 make their homes.
Perth Amboy does well to honor the memory OF Thomas
Gordon tomorrow. 1t is TO be hoped that this celebration
will arouse renewed interest in the history of the city and
that there will be a desire on the part OF everyone, including
the city officials, to do all within their power TO preserve 10.
