Divergent opinions as to a proper
name for the new Business High
school have resulted in a special
meeting, being called December 10
to thresh the matter out.
Alfred McGarraghy, president Of

new school, to attend.
Alumni say they will fight the
proposal to name 1t Theodore

than she was at the beginning of
the century, and twenty years hence
she will certainly be still less "do-
nestle" than she is today. In old
times a household had to be self
sufficient; women spun and wove;
not so very many years ago house
wives took pride in making their
own bread, and rearing domestic
animals for food, and much Of the
laundry work was5 done at home.
RELIEF FOR HOUSEWIVES
The household day in my youth
began with the laborious lighting of
a coal fire; patent firelighters were
esteemed the last word in labor
saving devices! And heating is still
largely a home-enterprise; the same
for cleaning; the same for cook
ing.
But the great principle of CO.
operation is spreading more and
more. One sees it today at its most
advanced stage in service-flats
where there is a common dining
room, and where heating and light
ing and cleaning are all electric.
Domestic dirt in particular is slow
ly disappearing. The age must and
will come, and come soon, when
the houscmistresses will be freed
from all the hard physical work,

Guilty of Making Homes Unhappy, Says Writer

But the car means hospitality;
lunches at wayside inns, overnight
stops at hotels, bridge debts, golf
debts, club bills.
There is only one way out. George
has got, SOMEHOW, to make more
money. Doris is talking about a
holiday abroad-Doris weeps, and
says there is no use in her going
to Lisette's spring exhibition, she
couldn't afford to BUY anything!
When baby is mentioned, it is
the husband who regards the idea
with horror. More expense-when
they can't keep abreast of their bills
now!
"How do other people do IT,"
they demand pathetically. Life for
them has become one long, unlovely
wrangle about expenses. Doris
wastes money on clothes; George
wastes hundreds on his bootlegger.
They are caught tightly in a per-
feet web of expenses.
When the split comes, Doris is
usually blamed. Yet one wonders if
Doris is really to blame.
Doris at least tries to remedy
matters, even if it is only by try
ing, fretting, going to see Mamma,
appealing to Dad.
But George plods on stupidity and
convcntionally, apparently not
knowing what he wants to get out
of marriage, or why he isn't getting
it.
He can only give his pretty little
spoiled wife money, when he has it,
and grumble and brood when he
hasn't. He goes off to the office
gloomily, comes gloomily home; he
says that HE is doing all he can,
working day and night, he can't do
any more!
And as n matter of fact he is
doing NOTHING. Nothing to help
her, educate her, develop her, moth
ing to win her to a higher and
cleaner and simpler ideal in life.

privilege and a staggering respon-
sibility, never occurs to him.
That youth-with its jazzing and
rushing about, its cigarettes and
lip-sticks-is NOT the same thing
as married life, any more than it
is babyhood or old age, escapes the
attention of most marrying young
men-until too late.
SEEKING PLEASURE.
He hasn't time for his children.
He knows less about them than the
clerk in the candy store. He hasn't
time for his wife. He must work
himself into such a condition of
nervous fatigue that children's
voices drive him almost mad, and
he must have a musical comedy or
a moving picture show to distract
him.

in this article-being schooled by

MORE WOMEN DRESS BETTER
Take away feminine attire from
the newspapers, and from the
shop-windows of the principal
streets, and you would scarcely
recognize either the press or the
thoroughfares without it. Bright
ness would fall from the air and
gloom descend upon our cities. And
in this statement there is no poetic
license. The ageless institution of
woman's clothes become moro i'm
pressive, extensive and complex
with every new Season." 1 would
not assert that the best dressed
, women are better dressed today
than the best dressed woman of the
past. But more women, and far
more women, are well dressed than
in the past. An intelligent inter-
est in personal appearance is pene-
trating deeper and deeper into the
lower strata Of society. Also the
interest in it is more openly
acknowledged than 1t used to be.
Twenty years ago did anybody ever
see a woman examine herself in

nose with powder at table in the
middle of a repast? l have OBJ

HOUsEwORK DISAPPEARING.
The servant question" will be
practically solved by the practical
disappearance Of domestic servants.
From tens Of thousands of house
holds domestic servants have al
ready vanished; and yet, thanks to
the extension of cooperative ser
vices and the application of science
to household tasks, housemistresses
have less to do, and less to worry
about, than when they kept ser.

if they could get servants, would
not return to the ancient regime Of
servants.

simplify housekeeping is observable
everywhere. Look at the cooked
food in the shops. Look at the
crowded restaurants. Every meal
taken in a restaurant means less
