SUPPLEMENTARY INCOME?
(From Mrs. H. A. B., University
Park, Md.
am most anxious to do some
thing In the home, to earn a sup
Elementary income. I have the
time and the inclination, but when
1t comes to ideas and pursuing
them, I am stumped. I can't seem
to think of anything very practical.
Do some Of you ladies earn money
at home? What do you do? How
did you get started? If I shall need
training, where shall I seek 1t?
I was educated to be a school
teacher and taught for one year
prior to our marriage II years ago.
Since marrying I have been busy
making a home for my family.
Until now that has absorbed all
my time and interests. As q result
I feel out of touch with other things
and don't know how to go about
breaking into a new field"
