A YOUNG married womnn tecently complained about thp dreary, monotonous life in her boaidinK house; the same food week in anil week out; in fact, she could with perfect truthfulness invite her friends to call on Thursday to a roast of veal or a lamb stew on Saturday with the assurance that comes ftom the knowledge of hav ing dined on this for months. This young woman is a college graduate, supposedly trained to as sume responsibilities, yet she chooses to spend her married life flitting from one boarding house to other. She explains it by saying that her nerves are in such a condi tion that she becomes disttacted at the thought of the continual worry with a maid. It really is astonishing how many a woman misses the idea when she marries that marriage is a real true partnership; she feels .that the housework is just an ugly accessory, and that the cooking, sweeping and marketing for supplies nre favors she confets upon her husband, if she chooses. Then again we have the woman who, if she does condescend to make a bluff at housekeeping, sometimes in an apaitment, will de pend entirely upon the cornet stoie or delicatessen shop for the entite commissary supplies, or may be she is one of those who call Jack on the phone nbout noon and tells him to bring home some meat for din-. ner.

They came out and endured all manner of hardships; they im- provised their own tools; these doughty housewives in those B00(1 old days, spun, wove and made their own candles, carpets, etc. These housewives cured and dried meats, vegetables and fruits for winter use and frequently they were known to lend a hand in the fields.

And what do you think the chief feature of the home was to be? "A regular up-to-date dressmaking room where the girls might go and have dresses made at very low cost. It seems almost like a coincidence that I should have stumbled on that imio bit of news the morning I re ceived the little note from a voung girl reader who signs herself Dora. A part of Dora's letter follows: 1 have been wearing the same dress for a long time with once In a while a different collar. Now what I want to know Is this. I have saved up sixteen dollars and my father thinks he ought to have It because we are poor. But I pay money each week at home and I had to often do without lunch or only take just a cup of coffee and a roll to save the money. My father did not know I had it until my sister found It out and told him. My father Is poor and I have four little broth ers and sisters, hut I want to have a pretty dress like the other girls. Would It he all right for me to keep this money I saved and buy a dress and a straw hat? DORA. DEAR conne Dora, do you see why I connect vour attention ulth tin home the old lady founded for girls? The old lady knew pretty things for girls are so Important that she made getting them a feature of !.?r whole plan. The right kind of pretiy clothes are Important. Dora.

A hastj- survey of the ice box teveakd nothing to add to the meal which the Raymonds were to have and which consisted of warmed over stew. Ruth had always understood that stew was cheap, and she had learned how to make it by following closely a sensible recipe In one of her cook books. A povlce at It, she had made too much a'nd last night she had remarked glee fully to Scott: Some one had given Scott a jar of strained honej' one, time, and after ' ?"rch T17 ""f. " "VIV '" ""m She would make biscuits and they would , have honey, that vmih someth'ng. As i rtuth flew about setting the table, mix ing her blRCults, putting tbe stew on i In a saucepan to heat, a hundred frlvo 10US thoughts entered lier mllld. Mie had learned her lesson, and never again would she take slllj- chances, but how Hho did long to be something else be sides a poor wife struggling to get along on a small salary. She thought sud denly of VI Harper. To live like that now. In a charming apartment ln an ex clusive neighborhood To dress well as VI did, that was living. But VI worked, that was it, VI worked. Helen had said that A'l made a good salarj'. The thought struck Ruth In a different way this time. v 1 worked ; well, then, why couldn't she, Ruth, take a position? The thought obsessed her. It frightened her with its attractiveness, It took her breath away with Its possibilities. Why hadn't she thought of it before? Per haps that would be the solution or all their troubles. Of course as Ruth looked at it now, a position seemed the easiest thing In the world to get. She did not stop to think nf thp difficulties thai mleht nrp. sent themselves, she certalnlv did not j think of what sne couiu uo. sue simply dallied with the Idea of making money, of counting In the world, of seeing Scott's eyes open wide with pride when people spoke of his wife. Even with the aid of a grape fruit and the half of another that she had. not eaten for breakfast, as an appetizer, the meal was very plain. But Ruth had candles lighted on the table and ex plained laughingly to her mother, that If she stayed she must expect pot luck. "We're not going to have much." "O, I guess we'll have plentj"." her mother returned, and Ruth had a lightning vision of the meals at homf, dinners of stewed chicken on toast, of brothy soups, and delectable salads smothered with Martha's golden yellow mayonnaise, of candled puddings quiver ing under thick chocolate sauces. Even with the biscuits and honey the meal that night was noticeably plain. Scott was unusually silent and Ruth had to fo'ree talk for all three, for Mrs. Rowland said nothing at all Afterward when Ruth went Into the lllligg It at Home There Is Always a' 1 make a new girl of you.

You have given money at hom'onph wpptf nnrl the fact that VOU Phave done without a new dress for a long, long time proves you have given generously. Why not come to an agreement about the amount you will give?

There is no quicker way to lose your health than to neglect to eat. IT'S vry fine and as It should b that a girl should help at home, but not at the cost of her health and her youth.
