Place

Gryl HE question, Resolved, Wom-
ans place is in the home, =
A was debated at the luncheon
of the Indianapolis Local Council Of
Women the other day. The affirma-
tive side won by vote OF the two
hundred women present.
The verdict stabbed consistency in
the back. Most Of those women are
intensely interested in activities out
side the home. and would rebel : at
permanent domestication. But
what's a little matter of consistency
among friends?
What is woman's proper sphere?
Man would like the answer to that
conundrum. 1t isn't in the book.
He has tried unsuccessfully for
thousands of years to put woman in
her place and keep her there-but
she overhows all creation. It's like
trying to thrust a handful of air into
a coat pocket. 1t refuses to stay
put.
1t is beginning to be suspected
that woman's proper place depends
on the woman. One may find in
home and domestic pursuits her
sphere. Another might be less dis
quieting to society If she sought her
place among bobbed-hair bandits
rather than in the kitchen.
Woman will have her own way in
any event-why oppose her? That's
the one sound bit of masculine
philosophy evolved in the ages. He
only hopes she'll find a place in his
neighborhood. He rather likes to
have her around.
