Women are far more loyal to family

This being the case-and it is a

why should girls be aslled to give up

An ex-service man writes me that
he thinks that all women who are
following what are called ''Eainful oc-
equations" should give up their work
and hand over their jobs 10 men. He
says this is the simplest way to solve
the unemployment problem for men.
1t Is certainly an altrust!c scheme.
but why narrow It down TO woman?
Why not ask every man who can pos
stbly exist without HIS pay envelope
to hand over his position to some man
who needs the work and the money
worse than he does? Why not ask the
bank president to resign I'm favor Of
some ragged hobo? Why not ask the
doctor with a big practice to turn
over his patients 10 the patientless
young doctor who is just starting out7
Why not ask the merchant TO step
down and out, and present his store
TO his clerks?

them most, but nobody is foolish

himself for another man, and es-

ent sees nothing unreasonable in de-
manding that women should immediate
themselves upon the altar OF the
public
Also. my correspondent assumes
that women work through sheer love
OF work, or because they are rest
less and not because they need the
money they earn. This is a common
error. There are many people who as
sumo that the working woman is an
eccentric millionairess who leaves her
luxurious home to go and clerk in a
store, or be stenographer, or a book
keeper because she craves the excite
ment of the commercial world; there
fore they sigh and shake their heads.
and wonder why girls don't stay in
their proper place in the parlor.
They ignore entirely three basic
facts. One is. that every woman in
stinctively loves luxury and ease as
much as a cat does a hot brick. In
real life you never see Miss Million
bucks giving up her limousine. and
her breakfast in bed. and her teas.
and her luncheons, and her parties
for the joy of fighting for a strap In
a crowded street car, and cooking her
meals over gas Jet, and washing her
stockings in the bowl in her room. in
| order TO stretch minimum wage over
maximum needs.
The second fact is that no woman
works for fun. II there is any wild and
hilarious pleasure in standing eight
hours a day behind a counter trying
to wheedle disgruntled and critical
women into buying things. or in
pounding a typewriter, and dealing
with a boss who doesn't wear his
company manners in his own Office.
the girls who do 1t. day after day,
have never found it out. There tasks
do not look like a picnic to them.
