Shall Married Women Work ?

The old subject whether the woman
who has husband to support her shall
work has always been a matter of dis
pute. 1t was doubtless started by the
first husband who found his physical
case and comfort at home disturbed
thereby, or the Little Woman not 50
little and meek when she no longer
had to beg him for spending money.
1t was augmented by the old Demon of
Inferiority Complex, when she made
an; outstanding success of her job and
brought home a bigger salary check
than he did. -
As more and more women entered
the field Of business, the argument was
taken up by the single sisters" who
envied the married woman her double
income. How could the single girl hold
her own in the face of this competition?
The war RACES on, with one phase or
another Of it coming to the fore, accord
ing to the times. Hardly a day passes
now that sCme public official, from
school superintendent to the mayor Of
city and the Governor Of some State,
is not asked to dismiss all married
women, because they have husbands to
support them
Such an attack presupposes that all
married women are reye ing in luxury
at home, and merely WORK out of bore
DOM Even II this was true, we would
question the wisdom OF any measure
which would deprive a human being
who desired to work of that privilege
But surveys prove that it actually is
not true.
When q woman, married or single,
works, it is for the same reason that
her man relatives work-because they
need the money. An investigation con-

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

Quoted by the American Woman's As
sociation, In cooperation with the
Presidents, Emergency Committee for
Employment, showed that 40 per cent
of the women in the better-paid groups
had from one to three persons de-
pendent upon them. 1t was found that
38 per cent Of those earnings $4,000 a
year bore the entire expense of the
household, and 81 per cent shared
that expense with relatives or friends.
Only AZ per cent lived In home with
out contributing to its support.
The annual report of the Woman's s
Bureau of the Department of Labor
showed even a heavier economic re-
sponsibility. In house-to-house can
vass of a small industrial community
228 families were solely dependent
upon the earnings of the wife and
mother, and 100 women had five or
more to support.
This hardly indicates that married
women are. working for pin-money.
And even when woman has a hus-
band ito support her." who is to say
that in a few months he, too, may not
be among the unemployed? Years of
training have gone into fitting any
successful woman for her particular
job. What an appalling waste If in
any emergency she is to find herself
Disseminated against because she is a
member Of a certain class!

Chill Con Carne for a
Winter Day.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

"Just what is chilli con carne, Lois?
1t sounds SO foreign. Is it really?"
Chilli con carne is a mixture OF
chilli peppers or prepared chill powder
with meat. Con carne' means with
meat, you see. I'll make some for the
next cold day
True to her word Lois prepared the
dish. And she did it in this fashion.
She checked her recipe and found 1t
called for five hot or chilli peppers. She
smiled over the fact that hot pepper
was called chill one, but realized that
the pepper must have been named after
the country in which it grew, rather
than after its characteristic flavor
For these five hot peppers she need
ed one Glove of garlic and one small
onion. The peppers were washed after
seeds and membranouS lining were re-
moved, and cooked in small amount OF
water until tender. Then they were put
through a sieve. This mixture with
sliced onion and garlic was then added
to meat.
But Lois could not find any hot
peppers. She considered using sweet
green ones and adding cayenne pepper.
This would have been satisfactory:
However,. she found a small bottle OF
chilli powder in the grocery. She used
the powder, following directions on the
bottle.
In any case she added the mixture to
one pound of round steak ground or cut
in small cubes. She added just enough
water to keep meat covered and cooked
slowly for two hours If cubes were used
or one hour if chopped steak were used.
She thickened the liquid slightly just
before serving. Chill con carne is good
served with boiled rice or baked po--
tatoes. Sliced tomatoes or shredded
lettuce or coleslaw or bread and but
ter pickles are good accompaniments.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

He was wounded three times In the
war, once so seriously that he was lett
on the battlefield to die. A farmer boy
found him and took him to his home,
nearby, to nurse him back to health.
His father author of The Autocrat
at the Breakfast Table" wrote poem
of this incident, in which he describes
the long and heart breaking search Tor
his son in the camps of the wounded.
Years later, after Justice Holmes had
won fame on the Supreme Court, a
stran appeared at the door OF his
red brick home on I street In Wash
ington.
Upon inquiring for Justice Holmes,
he was told that the justice could not
see him; that the justice never saw
strangers at his home. The visitor re-
quested the butler to ask Mr.. Holmes
II he remembered the lad who picked
him up so near death on the battlefield.
Holmes heard the question, and i'm
mediately ordered that the visitor be
admitted. And for a long time the two
sat in his study talking.
It was in March of 1841 that THE
Autocrat at the Breakfast Table" wrote:
MY dear Aunt Last evening, between
and 9, there appeared at No. 8 Mont
gomery place little individual who
may be hereafter addressed as -
Holmes, Esq, or the Hon. - Holmes,
M. c., or His Excellency - Holmes,
President, ETC. etc, but who for the
present is content with scratching his
face and sucking his right forefnger 4"
That was almost 81 years ago How
near the fathers prophecy has been
borne out now everybody knows.

T~HIS Is true If bird and animal
and man, not to mention other
forms Of life, did not have to
have and so constantly think of
food, the Great World would be wholly
different from what 1t is. We must eat
to live, though it sometimes seems as II
some live to eat. Be that as 1t may,
there is no denying the fact that the
stomach rules the destinies OF all living
creatures.
Just take the case Of Paddy the
Beaver and Mrs. Paddy. Their peace OF
mind and their very lives depend on
whether or not Little Joe Otter was
catching fish enough to keep his stom-
ach we'll filled. That seems queer, put
it was so. You see, If he did not eaten
enough fish he would be almost certain
to try to dine on fat Beaver, and Paddy
and Mrs. Paddy knew it.
For several days after they discovered
that Little Joe was in the neighborhood
Paddy and Mrs. Paddy were constantly
on the watch for him. While one slept
the other kept watch. If one went out
of the house the other went, too. And
they were anxious, very anxious. The
worst of it was they had no means OF
finding out anything about Little Joe
and how he was faring in these hard
Winter days and nights.
They had b2en over to inspect their
dam and make sure that 1t was as 1t
should be and had started back to the
house swimming under the ice. MIS-
Paddy was in the lead. They passed
close to an air hole where there was
no ice and Paddy suddenly decided to
poke his head out for look around
Cox cr,,1 kNt hn oil
discovered right in front of him, sit
ting on the ice at the edge of that hole,
Little Joe Otter himself? Little Joe
was eating a fish he had Just caught
Hello, Paddy" cried Little Joe be-
fore Paddy could duck from sight.
Hello yourself" gasped Paddy real
izing that this was no time to show
that he was frightened.
1T is a long time since I have seen
you," said Little Joe. You certainly
are looking fat and fine"
For cnce in his life Paddy wished
that he was thin but, of course, he
yourself" he replied politely. How are
you making out these hard t!mes?"
Who says these arc hard times?"
demanded Little joe. You don't look
like hard times"
We'll, of course, they are not hard
for me-" replied Paddy, because, as you
know, Mrs Paddy and 1 always have q
big food pile ready for Winter, but I
have heard that others in the Green
Forest are not so fortunate and are
complaining that this is one of the
worst Winters they have ever known.
Do-do you find it SOP"

of the finest Winters l can remember"

fun on my slippery slide. You ought
to come down to the Laughing Brook

the best for years. These may be hard
times for some, but not for me. No,

applique duck and also cents for the
three small ducks, together with self
addressed and stamped envelope with
request directed to Lydia LIE Baron Wal
ker, care of this paper. If the ap-
plique duck alone is wanted send 10
cents with an S. A. S. E., or if the
small cross-stitch ducks alone are
wanted cents with the self-addreSsed
and stamped envelope, will secure them.
Sets with the large duck in applique
and the small ones in cross-stitch are
smart and novel. The large duck is put
on the blanket while the small ones are
cros-stitched a few inches above the
bottom of the jacket. They are worked
in a row as seen in the design pattern.
Sometimes a single cross-stitch duck is
put on each sleeve at the wrist, and one
goes on the baby's bonnet, or cap, If 1t
is three-piece ensemble.
The croSs-stitch is worked by counted
stitches in a color contrasting with the
jacket and cap. Each stitch of ordinary
plain knitting or crochet counts as one
stitch in the design, and the cross-stitch
is taken over it exactly as If 1t were
cross-stitch canvas. The work is de-
lightfully simple and marvelously
effective.

~ HARMING sets for infants
a. wardrobes consist Of knitted
V blankets and jackets to match
" These are particularly appeal
ing lust now when wintry
weather makes it wise to see that the
little ones are kept snug and warm.
The sets can be plain or they can be
ornamented with applique and cross
stitch motifs. The stichery can be plain
knitting, or fancy, or crochet can be
used as the stitchery instead of knit
ting. Sometimes the blankets are hand
loom woven, with the jackets in the
same colored yarn in crochet or knit
ting. The color of the blankets and
jackets may be the harmony significant
of the sets. This together with the
similarity of ornamental motifs may
form a closer union. If a little bonnet
goes with the jacket and blanket, an
entire ensemble results.
Some of the most interesting sets

Projection.

Projection is we'll established
mental mechanism. We mentally
project" something irrelevant into or
onto the situation when the real STU
alton doesn't quite square with our
feelings.
Like nearly everything else in the
mental world, projection has its virtues
and vices If nature hadn't fixed 1t up
so that we could project now and then
some of us would break under the
strain of living. If We were unable
to project we would all be trying to
carry the worlds troubles on our own
shoulders.
You might briefly describe projection
as the Towering out of an inclination.
1t has been truthfully stated time
after time that many of our fault find
ings with others are merely projections
of our own feelings-feelings which we
are trying to conceal. No doubt many
of the great reform movements in the
world thus had their origins.
