OF the situation:
Dear Elsie Robinson:
"Will a woman soldier be a
happy housewife after the war?
Yes. I think most Of them will.
There are always women who
hold Jobs outside the home even
when there Is no wal and these
women will fight to keep their
Jobs. But the real housewife
with n family does not want to
work outside the home.
Just now many women with
families are forced TO do, the
Jobs of men simply because the
men o needed for the Army.
And, after all, II a woman be-
comes accustomed to an outside
Job she will demand little
more independence after the
war. But don't think she will
ever demand complete control
over the business world and
force the men into domestic
service.
