WIVES AND

BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

1t is quite true. as an indignant
woman recently charged. that the
vast number of married women who
invade, the business world lessen Il
girls chances of getting a job.
While it seems only just that the
employer should give the preference
to the girl rather than to the wife
who has a husband to support her.

is not done.
Most people feel that the wife who

HEY Waste His lime

Dear Martha Lee: Won't YOU say
something in your columns about girls
who sit at a telephone and waste Il man 5
time during business hours? We Il lot OF
girl friends who think it's quite all right
to cali me about little social matters, and
then keep right on talking for half an
hour at time. A man is lust about
helpless when this happens. What would
YOU say about this? MARK.
l don't approve of girls calling
men at their office during business
hours unless the matter is impera.
tive. It's strange that the most adj
dle-pated girl wouldn't realize that
a mans time belongs to his en-
ployer-if he has one, and that it's
money to him, if he's in business for
himself. But so many don't realize
this, that l guess about the only
way out of it Mark, is to cultivate
q brusque, rapidfire tone and man
ner when you answer the phone.
However, it's nice to have a circle
of friends who think enough of you
to keep inviting you places-some
fellows don't you know, and would
give a lot to hear the tinkle of the
phone as you do. Advantages and
disadvantages-the balance in this
matter.

Some defects of the figure can be
reduced to the minimum by a deft
manipulation of stripes and Grapes,

YOU love him, you would scarcely
discontinue his acquaintance because
he has not yet proposed. OF course
you can't force love. You'll know
before long, I'm sure, whether he is

you can do, is wait. That's hard, of

cars, attending the theatre, or while
performing a rhapsody on the type
writer. You may look bit agonized,
but think how marvellous you will
look when the reducing days are
over.
Chorus Girls Use IT..
Here is one all the chorus girls
swear by: Sit comfortably in a
straight backed chair, which means
that you nestle your back in its
back, and cross your legs in the pres
ent-day approved fashion. Then
stretch out the raised foot and de-
scribe a circle with one foot, until
your ankle is tired; then reverse
your position and give the under foot
it's chance. You can vary this some
times by pointing instead of making
a circle-point as far out and at each
side as you can. The point is to feel
the stretch and pull.
Exercise i'm Bedroom.
AS you lie in bed, hating to get I'D
and put down the window, stretch
your foot as far as you can, and
then stretch out your toes. Clench
your foot into as compact a ball as
you can. This is not only good for
your ankles, but for your arches as
well. Your feet were really intended
to do much more scrambling and
clutching than they get chance to
in shoes on even pavements. 1t is
better for them if you keep some of
their old resistance in them.
incidentally badly fitted shoes,
particularly those that are too short
or too high-heeed contribute to the
heavy ankle because they make it
impossible for the foot to be easy and
comfortable, so it avoids all exertion.
The next step is for it to thicken.

minute. Being a friend or having a
friend, being part of any social unit,
takes energy and time quite as fully
as the job.
But there is something about
these "non-joiners" that makes me
believe that they pay too big a price
for their leisure time and freedom.

The
WOMAN'S
DAY
BY Allene Sumner

Grace is one of those women who
pride themselves on the fact that
they are mot joiners" whenever the
rest of the bunch" begin getting
up" bridge club or a local branch
of the National Business and Profess
sional Women's Club, or an Altrusa
or Zonta branch, or local Women s
City Club, or whenever Grace is
invited to join the club of her own
profession, the Women's Advertis-
ing Club, she only says: II am sorry,
but l am not a joiner"
Sometimes Grace will elaborate
her theme when the pressure is espe-
cially heavy. She once joined clubs
and learned many things. She
learned that women in organizations
are cats, that someone is always get
ting her feelings hurt, that all the
club amounts TO is a more or less
polite and well-bred free-for-all wo-
men fight as one woman tries to get
more popularity or authority than
another.

or another, and that eventually one
finds oneself just chasing from one
committee luncheon meeting to an
other, with no particular worth

Something In 1t
Now there is no little in what
Grace says. One always finds catty
women in clubs, working for person

called upon for work, sometimes UNI

moments. Organized companionship
truly is not so pleasant as more per-
sonal companionship-a tete-a-tete
with a chosen friend because one
wants to be and talk with that friend
at just such a time.
