 And even in private converse tion, many working woman both condemns and pities the suburban housewife who is tied to such a marrow, stupid life"
 Well, let's hear from 8 stay-at- home wife.
 Maybe she has something to say for herself. It might be she thinks that making the place her husband and children call home as attrac- tive and peaceful as possible, bringing up her children to be surer of themselves than she ever felt herself to be, encourag- ing her husband when he has set- backs, gardening for the tram guilty 1t brings her, and taking part in community activities is 6 fairly exciting and satisfying life.
 She may suspect that the woman "who does things" eYaggerates the excitement and satisfaction of a job and minimizes the routine that career women, like home women, have to cope with.
 She may even have sneaking idea that the career woman speaks her piece so often because she hasn't quite convinced herself or any man that home women aren't actually the women who are doing things"
 The home woman may wonder if the working woman doesn't have moments of realizing that her little successes aren't very important after all. That her place could be fillde within 24 hours-and very like ly will be if she ever starts slip ping.
 Anyway, it'ss time the home wo- man hit back. Copyright, 1889, NEA Service, Incl

Settle Questions Now; Have A Lovely Wedding

Here's to the lovely serene bride you're going to be! Every problem of budgeting, etiquette solved long before your wedding.
 Gifts to the bridesmaids? That belongs to the brides budget. Choose lacy handkerchief, a lit- tie piece of costume jewelry or slip pers to match their dresses. The bride or her family also buy the trousseau, pay for invitations, dec- orations, music, refreshments and, as rule, the bridesmaids bouquets.
 The brides bouquet is almost al- ways bought by the groom-and his budget also includes the ring, mar riage license, and clergyman's fee.
 All-important questions of eti- quette must be settled too. Who stands first in the receiving line at the reception? Quite correct to have the brides mother first-then the brides father, the groom's mother and father, the groom with the bride on his right, and the bridesmaids. Or the bride and groom may receive alone.
 Who gets the first slice of cake? The bride-and she shares it with the groom.
 Whats correct dress-at formal, informal weddings? Our 32-page booklet settles these and many other wedding questions. Tells how to plan, budget expenses. Gives eti- quette for bridal party, guests.
 Send 10c in coin for your copy of PLANNING AND EDUCATING YOUR WEDDING to the Water bury Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave-, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME, ADDRESS, and the NAME of booklet.
