IF THERE is one thing we have
learned in the last few years, it is
= to value yesterdays rules of eti-
quette according to common sense.
Not only has there been simplifica-
ton: but there have been drastic
changes in point of view. The most
important of these have resulted from
the adjustment of modern society
to the woman in business.
A very short while ago there was
the fixed resistance of mans pride
against granting his wife the right to
have any share whatever in their
domestic finances. But modern opin-
ion is far from unanimous in admiring
the man who, rather than sacrifice
his pride in being the only bread
Garner, subjects the girl he loves, as
we'll as himself, to the disquietudes
of an overlong engagement.
1t is all very we'll, moreover, for
John and Mary to dream of love in
cottage, but the rent has to be paid,
food has to be bought, and even
cottage needs repairs. And having
children costs money. If Mary's salary
added to Johns means that the two
together can provide for these ex-
penses easily, why should they wait?
To consider one of these marriages
in detail, then, let US say that Mary,
the wife, has job, and that her salary
is just about the same as Johns (the
husband's) and that they enter mar
riage on a completely equal part
nership.
Because they both contribute their
salaries to their general fund. they
can easily afford part-time maid.
Thus Mary and John come home at
night to find the apartment in order.
the table set, and dinner ready. Selma
serves dinner, washes the dishes, and
goes home.
Meanwhile, Mary is actually much
happier than she would be at home all
day with nothing to do but take care
af a little apartment. And certainly
she is thousand times happier than
if she were helplessly waiting for that
indefinite day when she and John
could marry!
Evening star., 1938-10-23

One problem Of any young married
couple arises from the conflict between
natural desire on their part to have
children and the difficulty of financ-
ing this important undertaking. Now
a-days, however, convention also
makes it possible for woman to 60
on working until little while before
the baby is born What is more, many
firms are generous about giving her
a leave of absence in which to have
her baby
When these are her working condi-
tions, it is often easier for her and her
husband to accumulate the necessary
money in advance than it is when the
husband alone provides the income.
But the young couple must make their
plans for the baby when they marry
and not spend their whole joint earn
ings. 1t is important to put part away
from the very beginning.
Meanwhile, in this day when talk
of security is on every tongue, but
fear of insecurity is in every heart,
the very reason for woman's urge to
work lies in this same word security"
Perhaps only those who we're brought
up when the problem of money
making was solely the husbands
concern, and have now come face to
face with unprepared- for bankruptcy,
can appreciate the feeling of safety
that woman has when she herself is
able to help her husband lay by money
for emergencies or, in case of necessity,
to earn shelter and food for her family
as we'll as for herself
On the other hand. there are factors
caused by wife's career which
threaten happy marriage - such as
separated interests. interfering sched-
ules, loose ends caused by details at
home that could not be attended to
because of overtime demanded by the
Office. There is also the matter of
entertaining his business friends and,
probably, hers as well. Though this is
mainly her problem, he should take
just as keen an interest in the plans
for her friends as in those for his own.
The chances are that the two groups
cannot be invited at the same time,
Evening star., 1938-10-23

TWO PAY CHECKS GO FURTHER THAN ONE

for we can never put all our friends
together indiscrlminately.
The important thing is to keep
the parties simple and inexpensive.
To undertake elaborate or formal
entertaining, when there is neither
money nor time to manage it with
smooth efficiency, is the worst judg-
ment in the world And the hosts will
lay themselves open to criticism on
the ground of extravaganza and pre-
tentiousness. But if Mary can preside
over their parties feeling fresh and
unworrled, and if the simple food is
well-prepared and adequate and
served perhaps in buffet style. there
is no reason why they cannot offer al!
the hospitality they like - and with
greatest success.
Many young people, then, are work.
ing out their marriage happily on
their two pay checks. And there is one
particular difficulty they avoid. Ac-
cording to my personal observation,
would say that the greatest menace
to the happiness of the woman land
of course to her husband) who held a
job before she married, is the haunt
ing ghost of that job which in her
imagination becomes the Career
Renounced." Many small-time jobs,
gladly abandoned at the time Of mar
riage, grow. in later memory. to great
careers sacrificed for husbands whose
actual success cannot equal an mag
ined one. A false valuation of might
have-been success is dangerous.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. Q CAMP -
Eddie Anderson owes his present
position as Jack Benny's aair valet
to his inability to leave the dinner
table. The bewildering Rochester,
who exasperates his boss with his
Iaziness and larcency each Sunday
night over the NBC-Red network,
might have been jockey rather
than radio and screen comedian
with string Of his own thorough
breds if he'd practiced a little more
restraint at mealtimes as a boy.
Because Eddie decided that he
preferred second helpings to spurs
and saddle, he deserted the paddocks
for the footlights at the age Of 15.
Born in Oakland, Eddie ferried a.
cross the bay with dime he'd found
and won an amateur contest IN q
San Francisco vaudeville house.
During the next few months, I'D.
die would have no trouble making
his weight had he decided to return
To the race track. He spent most q
his time on an enforced diet. But
finally, having established himself a:
d comedian with a versatile hooflnR
aet to boot, he began TO get better
bookings.

Town Council To
Name Policeman
To Patrol Streets
Officer Will Start On Job Sat,
urday Night; Plan Approved
Yesterday

The Mayor and Town Council OF
Rockville last night at session helc
at the home of Mayor Douglas M
Blandford voted to name policeman
to patrol the main streets of Rock
vile beginning this coming Saturday
night. i e..
Action was taken following the plea
of committee of the Rockville Cham
Der of Commerce headed by Louis j
Ryan. A petition, signed by over two
score representative business men Of
Montgomery Avenue, was also pre-
scented to the council.
The Town Council will try the plar
of having a policeman on duty eacl
Saturday night and will give the pro
position a thorough trial. Severa
men are being considered for thu
part-time job. Complaint has beer
made, particularly of late, that al
undesirable element has been congre
eating on several street corners to the
detriment of the better class of trade
1t is understood that the Tow
Council, in meeting the request of the
business men, in turn are seeking
their help in having the liquor dis
pensary removed from Rockville.
