atmosphere.
Typical of the times. there
was hardly an evening gown or
a white tie in the place. In
stead ever so many of the ladies,
like Mrs. Raymond Berry, who
arrived with her husband. were
wearing smart suits. Mrs. Berry
was in brown.
Mrs. John II. Evans was with
her son, Jimmy, and her daugh-
ter, Ann, and the trio was a
center of gay young chatter be-
tween the acts.
Pretty Mrs. Raymond Whyte
was with her husband and her
lovely fox cape was one of the
luxury notes of the evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Matthew Carey
were there and so were Mr.. and
Mrs. Otway Conard. Mr.. and
Mrs. Watson Williams, Mr.. and
Mrs. Otis Barnes. Mr.. and Mrs.

THESE HUNDREDS of arti-
Giles about women in war work;
Whatll happen when the scrap
is over? Who'll take care OF
the home, babies and husbands
they have left for the duration?
It's all very interesting. But
none of these articles touches

namely, what's going to happen
in the women herself when she
once shakes the home dust from
her heels?

career woman. A plain old
fashioned wife and mother who
was forced by circumstances TO
go out and bring in the bacon.

dig in a garden and cook in a
casserole than head the most
fiamboyant column. Yet I am
going to be perfectly frank with
you.

and the frank admissions of my
female fans-I know all too
well what will happen when
mama heads for the defense
factory.
Restlessness will happen. And

our restful living rooms. But
we don't stop there.
We like to 60 out and see

Bill? Would you be content to
go back and take up ping-pong
again. or maybe crocheting.
after operating Flying Fort
resses for several years? OF
course you wouldn't. Then why
expect il of the missus?
A three-room furnished apart
ment is no more her natural
sphere-nor an outlet for her
native energies-than IL is for
you. A prospect which you may
view with alarm but which !
anticipate with much elation.
The simple fact is, the Amer
lean home has long been an
anachronism in the machine
age. II wastes more human
energy and cold cash than any
other institution in our social
framework.
Whether il is run by the wife
alone sor with the aid of
helper, il is completely out
NODDED and belongs in the panta-
lette era.
Run Efficiently
This isn't knocking homes.
But it is knocking homework.
as is. The home should be run
as efficiently and economically
as a factory.
The idea that each family In
the block should duplicate the
drudgery and expense OF every
other family is as absurd as a
witch doctors mumbo-j Jumbo.
It's time we yanked our
domestic chores into line with
other modern programs. And
the war. plus feminine rebel
liousness, is going to teach Us
how to do il.
