DO HER PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS
HAMPER WOMAN'S COMPETITION?
Conflicting Statements Made by Two Successful
Workers The Failure of One Girl Reflects
on the Whole of Her Sex
SEVERAL days ago whllo attending a
meeting I heard two women within
tho space of nn hour express directly
opposite opinions ns to tho status of tho
woman. In business
Ono declared that It was a mlstako to
ImaRlno a woman could over tnko tho
place of n. man; that her physical limita
tions prevented her successful competi
tion with men, but that sho mado a most
valuable co-worker.
Tho other woman stated with convic
tion that sho did not believe women In
natcly disqualified as a class for any kind
of work whatsoever.
Both of theso women wero acknowl
edged successes In their respective voca
tions. Tho first speaker was probably
fifty years of ago, well-preserved, care
fully groomed and suave. Tho other ono
was a woman young and bubbling over
with enthusiasm.
And therein lay tho dlffcrcnco. This
second woman counded tho note of tho
now feministic generation: for her, ns for
thousahds of girls lllco her, "there Is no
such word as fall."
Formerly In tho way eomo businesses
wero conducted qulto patently a woman
could not take tho placo of a man. Sho
could hardly tnko a prospective client out
for lunch or a drink, then talk over the
business In hand over a pair of Havanna.
But In tho modern, everyday rush of Hfo
few men do business In thin way.
After all, thero Is Just n3 much placo
In any modern ofllco for a clever, cfflclont
young woman as for tho samo typo of
man.
Tho danger to tho sex lies In the num
ber of girls without oratns, but with n
vast amount of nerve, who go In for and
after every position open to them, then

would llkb to mention that In our family of
three adults nnd three children, with another
adult for at least one meal every day, we set
ijone on an averase of 10ta week for pro
visions and ubout J4 for washing and cleaning,
eJolnif the starched IronlnB at home, not Includ
ing the men s shirts and collars, however. I
thtnk I may say that absolutely nothing Is
wasted In tho kitchen 'lha thlldren have
fsarty appetites and we use two and one-half
nuarts of milk a day Of rours. we live simply-
cenerally hot cereal for breakfast, with
bread and butter, sometimes Jam or buns and
fruit At noon we, usually have meat, not the
most expensive cuts, but frequent!! change off
to baked beans or tlsh We always have
one starchy egetab!e potatoes macaroni
rice of noodles and one Breen CBetable,
either fresh or canned, generally prepared
with plenty of sauce. The desert Is gen
erally a simple one which the children can
Share, but If the adults have pie we butler a
amall pie dish sift on It as many fine crumbs
as will stick till It with wateir Is belmr us, it
lor the grown-ups and bake, and the children
are HUlto satlstted with their very oica pie. They
have an early and simple supper and the two
jMUngest are put to bi-d bytore we sit down
to uur own cvenlnir mesl whent In this winter
weather we generslly have one hot savory dish,
ittrhapa a salad or stewed fruit and plain cake
for dessert No doubt "New Housekeeper" has

Jite to gho her child the Incalculable benefit
uJ being' put to bed earlyj It will mean much

Mated and thickened with butter and flour and
Jlarorid with the water In which a cauliflower

Our butter by the way. Is oleomargarine. We
rao one of the best grades and And It very
iood. By warming It slightly It can easily be
colored according 10 directions and with a wet
knife molded Into brick shape. We also use
storage tgs and find they are very good for
baking and for use In omelets. It Is not possib e

Refreshments for Sewing Circle
To the Editor of Woman's Tape
Dear Madam I belong to a sewing club, and
we are allowed to servo only two kinds of
eatables and tea, corfco or cocoa. Now, there
Is nlwavs some kind of a salad nnd cake, or
sandwiches and cookies, or lie 1 ream nnd cjke.
Can you clvo me some novel refreshments, so
there will be n chnnge. as we meet every week?
On Christmas 1 gave to a ludy older than
mse!f A present to show her my nppreclatlon
of her kindness in me In Inviting me to several
festivities It was somo crochet work mads up
over silk to use In the dining room. She wrote
on a correspondence card her thanks and men
tloned that It was very pretty and that h
would transfer It to a pillow. Was that correct!

Hae you ever served Scotch scones?

As to your second query, jour friend's

Pieces of Flat Sihcr
To the Editor of iromnn's Paoe:
Dear Madam Will jou kindly tell what ths
stiver article half fork und half spoon Is used
for? I have seen them shaped In two wavs. one
Is a spoon cut Into a three. pronged fork, the
other Is also spoon shaped and has three prongs,
but the last prong on the left side of the spoon
Is sharpened and a tiny bit broader that, ths
other two prongs. X would be clad to know
their uses. KATK.
The first piece of flat silver you describe
Is known ns an lea cream fork and tho
second Is a salad fork. The rather sham
side Is designed for separating the leaves
when eatine ealuil, as It H considered bad
form to cut lettuce leaves with a Knife
A "Widow's Name
To the Editor of IV'omon's Paoe:
Dear Madam I am a wldnw nnd In business.
I am obliged to use my Christian name, rtomo
of my friends say I should use It altogether
on my cards and when sendlnir formal Invita
tions and on the various occasions when Mrs,
Is used. Js this correct? (Mrs.) I). U. f.
A widow should always retain her hus
band's full name on her visiting cards, on
format Invitations and on any occasion
when the use of the prefix Mrs Is Involved,
except In business Only a divorced woman
drops her husband's Christian name, but
even then she does not use her Christian
name, but her Initial and maiden name be
fore the surname of her erstwhllo husband.

Dear Madam I a'm a girl twenty lears o(
age and have an Intense growth of hair on my
face. I have to shave twice a week. Can ou
tell me how to prevent lis growing?

The electric needle Is the only thing which
will permanently remove superlluous hair.
Be sure to go to a physician or a reliable
operator for treatment.

me go to parties, because they say It wilt
make sister look older, and thoy ak me wear
my hair down my back and rather snort dresses

ridiculous, and seme of my friends who have
grown up with roe and are new going around
with boys and having good time laugh and say
I xju foolish to submit. What would you advlae
ins to do? , MAX IS.
Perhaps It you talk to. your parents and
tell them that f they make It so evident
they want to marry their daughter she will
not be apt to attract a husband, and that,
s It is generally known you ure eighteen.
It would be better to let you do up your
hair and wear frocks proper to that age,
you may be able to convince them that they
are making a rntstake, as they most-assuredly
are- Your sister at twenty-three In

MY MARRIED LIFE

"T OOK nt me, M.irar.trct "
JJ Jack's volro was low nnd tense Jt
held n mnstrrful nnte 1 hod never beard
Without re.tllstlnc; that t tlltl so I obcd
lilm nnd lifted my ejes to his
What t read In them made me tremble
This was a new Jack facing mo across the
table.
Tho cousin-brother, my best friend since
my childhood, was boiio t did not know
this man who reached out his hnnd and
covered mino ns It lay on tho table before
me
I illd not ndmlt to mcjolf why. but T
wished, oh' so rarnestlv. that t had told
Jack over tho telephone of my mnrrlSRe
durliiR bis j car's absence In tho South
nterlpan wilderness where he could
neither fend nor receive, letters.
"o brother could hare been kinder or
nearer to 1110 tlmlnir nil my Hfo than this
dhtniit cousin of mine had been I had felt
Ktilltv nt having; married during his nhsenre
without his knowing nbolil It So t had
walled to tell hlm of mv marriage until we
should have Unlabel! the dinner to which
Jack had naked me on the first dsy ho re
turned from his evllc.
I must not wnlt another minute, 1 told
myself
"Jack," I said brokenly, "there Is some
thing I want to tell you I'm afraid you
will be annr. but pleao don't be, big
brother, will you?"
jack Di:ci.Anns ins i.ovn
"Thero Is something I'm going to tell you
first," Jack smiled tenderly at me, "and
that Is that this blR brother stuff Is done
for, ns fHr as I'm concerned. In fact, I've
been Just faking tho rolo for two or three
j cars back because I knew you didn't care
the way I wanted ou to Hut this ear out
In tho wilderness has made mo realise Just
what Hfo would bo to mo without you
I'vo been klcklns myself nil over South
America thpt I didn't try to nnke you care
I've Just about gone through Gehenna, too,
thinking you might fall In lovo with some
body while I was gone Hut I saw you
didn't wear nnjbodv'n ring, anyway, bo I
Raid to mjsclf, I'm not going to wait an
other inlnuto to tell her I love her, lovo her,
lovo her "
Jack's voice, pitched to a low key any
way, so that nn one should bo able to hear
what ho wis siting, sank almost to a whis
per with the last words
I cat stunned, helpless, grief-stricken.
To think that I should bo tho ono to
bring sorrow to Jack, tlio gentlest, kindest
friend I had over known'
"DID I STAItTi.n TOU?"
Worst of nil, to think that by my own
short-sightedness and obstinacy I had let
hlm tell me this secret, which I know he
never would h.tvo revealed If ho had
dreamed I was married
Jtrs Stewart, my old landlady, had hinted
that Jack was In lovo with me
Sly husband had told mo point-blank that
I would find out Jack's brotherly attitude
to bo a. 111 tli.
And ct I had gone on blindly to this I
had even removed my wedding und engage
ment rings ard hidden them In my mesh
bag that Jack might not know of my mar
riage beforo I was ready to tell him
"Did 1 startlo you, dear?" Jack leaned
over tho table, his face anxious, tender,
close to mine "I shouldn't have told you
here, I know, but I couldn't keep It a minute
longer.'?
' Oh, .lack, don't '" I imaned, nnd then to
mv horror I began to cry 1 could not con
trol my sobs, although I covered my faco
with my handkerchief.
"Thero thoio. sweetheart, 111 havo you
out of this In a Jiffy." Jack was at my side,
helping ino to rlie, getting me Into my coat,
shielding mo from tho curious ga7.o of the
other diners.
"Hero'" IIo threw a inn lownru mo
waiter. "Pay my bill out of that, get us a
taxi nulck and keep the change Hurry"
"Vcs blr, thank you, sir" The waiter
dashed ahead of us As wo emerged from
tho door ho was standing proudly by the
open door of a taxi ...
"Where to, sir?" The chauffeur touched
his p lp
"Anywhere Central rark." Jack helped
mo In, sat down beside me. tho door
slammed and the taxi rolled away.
Tho only other time In my llfo Jack had
Been mo cry vv.i.s when my mother died
Then 1 had wept my grief out on his shoul
der, secure In tint Knowledge of his broth
el ly lovo As the taxi started ho slipped
his aim aiound me
"Whatever It is, dear, cry It out In my
arms," ho whispered
Hut at his touch I shuddered and drew
mself away I was Dicky's wlfo. This
situation was Intolerable. I must end It
at once With a mighty effort I controlled
my sobs and, wiping my eyes, sat upright.
"Dear, dear boy." I said 'Tlcaso forgive
me. I never thought of this or I would
have told ou over tho telephone."
'Told me what?" Jack's volco was harsh
and quick. Ills arm dropped from my
w alst
Thero was no uso wasting words In the
telling I took my courage In both lnnds
"I am married. .lack," I said faintly. "I
have been man led for over a month"
"God!" Tho expletive seemed forced
from his lips T had heard tho name ut
tered that way onco before, when a man I
knew had been told of his child's death In
an automobile accident It made me real
ize as nothing else could what Jack must
bo suffering.
nut bo gave no other sign of having
heard my words simply sat erect, with
folded nrmH. gazing sternly into vacanc,
whllo the taxi rolled up rifth avenue
Huddled miserably in my corner, I waited
for him to speak I had summoned cour
age to tell him tho truth, but I could not
have spoken to hlm ngaln whllo his face
held that frozen look It frightened nnd
fascinated me at tho samo time.

In mcnnlngless llttlo gestures and shifts

Is plain that she has lost control of her

Hero nro a few Blmplo remedies for nerv

for thoso who havo glten them n faithful
trial
Stretching exercises such as theso will
restore nervo control before many weeks
havo psssed
Stand on our tiptoes, rnlso our heels
far from tho floor standing ns nearly In n
straight lino from toe to kneo as possible
Then Rtretoh nnd stretch your body as If

Blretch your arms nbovo your bend as

Drop to your heels nnd stand with tho
soles flat on tho floor. Raise arms nt light
nnglcs with tho sides nnd stretch tho
muscles
Another excollcnt remedy for nervo de
rangoment Is surfaco massngo Tho body
should bo rubbed lightly with the hands to
coax the blood to tho surface so that tho
nerves will be fed.
Cold plunges or showers nro recommended
by nervo specialists, but beforo you adopt
these It Is nlun best to consult your
phsclan to make sure that our system
Is In a condition to withstand tho chock
of a cold plunge. Cold" sprats upon tho
spine however, nro nn excellent tonic to tho
nerves, nnd the will not causo nny bad
after-effects
A salt rub following your bath will do
much In this nervp-biilldlng process Tnko
landfills nf tho salt nml rub It vigorously
over the body while it Is still damp Allow
the salt to tlrj on tho skin and then rub It
ofr with a conrso towel
It Is a long nnd discouraging road you
will havo to travel In order to regain nervo
control and the beauty jou havo lost
through having "nerves" Simply forget
them nnd preserve your good looks.

Keeping Faith with Our
No Loose-jointed M
Are you a critic of advertising? Have you ever noticed the varying
degrees of inducive argument set forth? You know advertisements have
one great drawback the true ones and the false ones look just alike.
There's advertising talk tliat, while technically truthful, is in effect
miserably misleading. Then comes the trumpet roar of loud exaggeration
skimming the skies for unreal values. Occasionally the braying
fellow comes to the front, voicing a business that proves its worthlessness
by quickly disappearing. These are the barnacles and parasites of trade.
There are advertisers, though, that ring true because they have
the truth to ring; and whose work is really helpful to the buying public.
The proper selling of merchandise demands the truthful telling of it; and
theire must be no "reductions" that do not reduce, and no "values'
that are fictitiously inflated.
As just an everyday-gocerv-buying reader, you know precisely
where THE CHILDS ADVERTISING fits in; and if you've had the
experience of dealing with us, you know that our methods are entirely
devoid of anything pertaining to exaggeration; and because of this
our business is growing in fame and favor from year to year.
OUR COMMON-SENSE GROCERY SELLING is a practical
education in household economy, and its helpfulness cannot be over
rated. Our stocks are always fresh, for constant selling keeps them mov
ing, and there are no stagnant pools of stale groceries for the unwary. We
have keen interest in everything we sell ; and we see to it that everything,
at all times, measures up to our invincible thirty-four-year-old standard
of "QUALITY, QUANTITY AND PRICE."
Read our advertising, you'll find it interesting; buy at our stores,
you'll find that profitable the two are made to fit. We've a very large
following of sound, sensible people; and there must be good judgment
back of it all. Such steadfast good-will can only be held on the basis of
delivering quality in full measure and service every hour of every day.
