YOUR FAMILY AND YOU
Wfe's Worth?
Think 1t Over

Yonkers, N. Y. Family Serv-
ice has calculated how much
the husband would have to
pay, In his locality, for
housekeeping and other nee
eSsary services. To get the
same amount Of service that
the wife was giving, Mr..
Drisko figures on:
I, Combination nurse-gov-
erneSS at $50 per week.
2. Part-time housekeeper
for is hours a week. at $3.50
per hour.
3. Baby-sitter for six hours
a week for 48 weeks a year,
at 81 an hour.
Their combined salaries,
together with the Social Sc
curity taxes which the be-
reaved husband would have
to pay, come to something
more than $500 a year.
without counting cost of
workmen's compensation in
surance and liability for the
three employees. or making
any allowance for the addi-
tional expense and waste in
the home which they would
not have the same motive
for thrift that his wife had.
That gives us we'll over
$4,000 a year but takes no
account Of companionship.
Many a widower will testify
that everything else was
secondary to the loss of the
companionship of his wife;
it was priceless and ire
placeable.
Let's assume Tor the sake
of argument, however. that
the widower likes feminine
companionship and takes a
hostess" from an escort
bureau" occasionally to a
dinner and dance. I don't
like to think of how much
he would squander on such
an outing; If it occurred
once a week he might well
find he had spent $4,000 in
a year under this heading.

A year ago. a young col
lege girl from Dearborn,
Mich, named Elizabeth Pa
.Sut had one of her dreams
come true. This talented
20-year-old, as winner Of a
sewing contest in the 1921
age group, was awarded a
trip to Paris for two, plus
cash prizes.
A few weeks ago, I saw
Elizabeth and her mother
off on the Queen Elizabeth
and there couldn't have
been a happier girl in the
entire world. She showed me
her prize-winning dress
illustrated and the rest
Of her travel wardrobe
and I couldn't have been
more impressed had they
been Straig ht from the
House of Dior in Paris. Her
workmanship and taste are
superb and I take my hat off
to this lively and charming
girl.
Her prize winning dress
is q dinner and date dress
with jacket of rose colored
silk. The straplesS dress. its
full skirt rounded out from
a tiny waistline, is topped
with a brief little jacket and
wide set portrait collar. What
did 1t cost? $24.00!!
I examined the boning in
her dress and found it per-
feet. For a pattern, she used
the bodice lining pieces in
cluded in the pattern. She
sewed the lining pieces to-
gether, pressed the seams

Of the lining.
First she tackled the bon

then took ribbon seam bind
ing and edge stitched that
over the boning Gig. c..
Last, she tackled the bodice
lining to the bodice on all
seams.
Elizabeth made a beauti-
full 3-yard stole of 48 inch
wide silk faced satin. She
folded the satin in half
lengthwise and stitched the
long open side closed, to
within 3 inches Of each end.
She then turned it right side
out and pressed the stitched
edge.
For the final elegant
touch, she started pulling
the threads at the two open
short ends, until all threads
were pulled up to the 8
inches she left unstitched.
The effect. was a soft mass
Of silky fringe that almost
looked like the hair of an
angel.

PROFIT FROM
SUBURBS SERVICE

CHICAGO (AP). - The
Chicago & North West
ern Railway has reported
a profit of $29,554 on its
1859 suburban service and
said it was the first time in
memory that its commuter
trains did not lose money.
The line said it is de-
termined to stay in the
black and soon will seek a
fare increase to offset rising
costs. For the average COM
muter ride of 20 miles the
rise would amount to 4
cents a ride, management
said.
Complete modernization
of suburban service was
promised for 1861.
Part of the added cost of
new equipment is being off,
set by savings in train crew
wages and unemployment
and retirement taxes.
