NURSING AS A
CAREER FOR WOMEN
By JANE A. DELANO
Director of the Department of
Nursing of the American
Red Cross
Training schools for nursea offer
the American girl graduated from
high school a chance to continue her
education at small and sometimes at
no expenso to her parents. From
the first day of her training she is
extending her technical education
and acquiring a distinguished pro
fession.
Some of the best training schools
charge a nominal tuition fee. There 1
are also many schools of excellent i
standing where not only is the stu- I
dent nurse at no expense for tuition
or for board, lodging, uniform and j
laundry, but where she is given a
small sum to cover equipment ex
penses.
This practical consideration Is
making it possible for many hun
dreds of young women to become
trained nurses.
In all of the best schools reason
able working hours and attractive
living quarters are assured. The life
is healthy, simple, regular and fullj
of interest.
The young women of ability, grad
uating from a good school, imme
diately on tbe completion of her
course, steps into regular profes
sional life. Her work is ready and
waiting. Opportunities for advance-1
went are steadily increasing, in ad-1
ministrative work and public health
and hospital nursing.
Hospital training prepares one for'
mapv kinds of public service and at i
the same time it is perhaps the best 1

training a woman can have for home!
and family life.
The American Red Cross and the!
Council of National Defense have
been appealing to young women of<
the country just graduating from
high school and college to take up!
the nursing profession as a patriotic!
service, filling in the ranks of service!
for those who are released for mill- ;
tary duty. Training schools have
expanded to accommodate greatly
increased numbers of student nurses,
the enrollment this year being over'
'2O per cent, greater than the year!
before, and undoubtedly they will
have to expand still further follow
ing this year's graduations.
MEN AND
VICTORY DESSERTS
1 Dessert after dinner isn't the most
j important thing in life in these days,
j but it is important enough to deserve
serious attention. The woman who
j arranges her meals with a view to
! avoiding the use of wheat and other
j foods that we Americans must re-
I frain from eating in order that we
I may send them to the soldiers
! abroad, must redouble her efforts to
• make the. meal attractive. More
than that, she must even more than
I in normal times, exert herself to
make sure that every part of the
j meal is real food, serving a real food
purpose.
The man has his part to play also
Even a favorite dessert is a smal
thing to sacrifice as a contribution
to the world's struggle to maintain
liberty and economy. If the woman J
ought to work out new desserts, or!
alter the old ones, the man'ought, 1
if neccissary, to learn to like them.!
And that is the situation exactly, j
If it is a part of the wartime duty!
of women to change their marketing, j
their menus and their cooking, it is
also the wartime duty of men to !
change their tastes and adapt them- 1
selves to the substitute desserts.
There are plenty of desserts that
can be made from the various cer
eals, such as rice puddings, corn-!
starch desserts, Indian pudding with
fruit, and many delicious steamed
puddings made from some of the!
Victory Cereals.
A good pudding will prove a sat-!
isfying solace to the most omnivor-1
ous pie-eating male in captivity. The I
following receipt is a Victory pudding'
that has been tried out on the mere j
male with gratifying success:
cup molasses
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon suet
M cup rice
1 teaspoon
cinnamon
I teaspoon salt
This may be cooked in a double 1
boiler or in a flreless cooker for two'
hours and a half. It can be varied!
by the use of raisins or nuts, or!
both, and a little orange or lemon 1
rind adds to the flavor. Serve with
cream.

HAR-RISBURG TELEGRAPfI
LIFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DI
By MRS. WILSON WOODROW
"I've worked hard for the greater
part of my life. I've got all the money
I want, and now I'm going to retire
and enjoy myself while I'm still
young enough to do so."
He said this very earnestly indeed.
"I give you just six months," I
replied, skeptically, "and you will be
back in harness again."
"Xot on your life," he answered,
with more emphasis than elegance.
"I was not talking about my life,
but yours," I returned. "You will
enjoy the rest for perhaps two
months. Then .you will begin to get
terribly restless and then acutely
miserable. When jfou drop what has
been as absorbing interest you leave
a vacuum. You can't fill it with what
are to you trivialities. You have been
in the thick of things; you can't be
happy in the thin of them."
He didn't believe me. But he was
back in his office in three weeks.
That is human nature.
I have a letter from a woman who
was left a widow with two or three
little children and without means to
support them. Before marriage her
profession had been that of a trained
nurpe, and she took this up again in
order to provide a home for her chil
dren and give them an education.
The children are now grown and
have established themselves in life,
and they urge their mother to give
up her work and let them provide for
her for the rest of her days. Her
friends all advise her that this is the
right and proper thing for her to do.
But she is having a struggle with her!
own inclinations.
She writes: "I feel that I would
like to earn some money now for
myself while I am still in my good
years, and thus I can also help in
keeping up the home. Am I right in
wanting to help myself, or is it my
duty to do as my children wish? I
think this sort of question lies before
many mothers. When we have
brought up our children and given
them a start in life we would like to
go on with our work and not be de- i
pendent on them. Would you advise I
me>to give up nursing and try to get!
some other work which I could doj
at home? I am worried, but I want
to do the right and best thing."
The word "duty" is customarily
used as an excuse for making our
selves and every one else miserable.
It has been so long ground into us
that we must distrust our own inner
voice and trust some one else's outer
voice that we hesitate to follow our
own leading.
Here is the case. This woman's
grown children are naturally anx
ious to repay their mother for the
sacrifies she has made for them dur
ing childhood. The best way they can
repay her is to let her arrange her
own affaire in her own way, un
hampered and unhindered by them.
But in their anxiety to make her
happy they are more or less in
fluenced by the criticisms of their
friends—the people who either in-

sinuate or openly tell them that it is
a disgrace for them to continue to
let their mother work at her time of
life, and that it is now their plain
duty to see that she enjoys a com
fortable idleness for the rest of her
days.
It sounds well. In spite of her own
inner convictions, mother listens with
one ear. Then her friends begin to
buzz in the other ear.
They tell her that she is growing
old; that her work is too much of a
strain on her; that she is entitled to
take her ease; that now is the time
to rest and enjoy all of the things
that she has never had time for be
fore.
This .too, sounds alluring, until
mother has leisure to sit down and
commune with her own soul. Her
own soul tells her that she "would
gain these benefits at a price—the
price of her independence. She
doesn't feel old—she doesn't want to
be a chimney-corner ornament.
She is interested in her work, and
she is used to earning and spending
her own money in her own way. She
Sees a chance to save some, to invest
it. or perhaps to indulge in some pet
extravagance which she li;is not per
mitted herself in the past.
Wc all have our pet extravagances,
just as we all have our pet economies
and even to those who look upon us
with fond and uncritical eyes these
seem —well, if not exactly criminal —
extremely foolish. So, since she could
haj-dly ask her children for money to
spend on what must seem to them
sheer waste, she must deny herself
these satisfactions.
The fact is, we don't want to be
made happy. The great majority of
us want to construct our own happi
ness charts, Happiness is always an
adventure. We want to find it our
selves. When some one catches the
bluebird for us and brings it to us in
a nice cage and we have to smile
and seem overjoyed, we are really
anything but pleased.
We realize that it isn't much of
a bird after all, and we never did
care for "feathered songsters" and
that it's going to be an awful bother
to take care of, and that if the cat
should get it, why, "we should
worry!"

DKAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Some years ago a wife ran away
and left her husband and two babies.
She asked for a but he vow
ed he would never give her one.
I came into his life and he has de
cided he wished a divorce. He is 26.
I, 21.
My mother tells me I can never
love his little girls, ages five and two,
and I must see this man as little as
possible until after the divorce is
granted. My inner self tells me as I
love the father so can J love his chil
dren. My heart tells me I can rear
these girls to think I am their mother
and love them as my own, if I ever
have any.

Of course, any woman with fine in
stincts can learn to love two little
babies who have no one else to mother
them. I like your attitude tow&rd the
children of the man you love. These
children are not an obstacle to your
happy marriage. I dare not advocate
divorce, because I might know onlv
