LS FACES TRED BUSINESS WOMAN New Problem Looms Unless Femininism Ends, Leader Warns. Correspondence of the Assoelated Press. PARIS. —~The world must fgge the problem of the tired business woman unless feminism is checked, warns Mrs. Alice Foote MacDougall of New York. Wit MacDougall is an outstanding “lired business woman™ of the world. She has more money than she wants, she says would_like to retire and spend the rest of her life just being womanly. But she can't. Own Case Pitiable. A million-dollar coffee business in New York, which she built up from nothing in five vears' time, has her pinned to the wheel of success. She is. to her own mind. a pitlable object soon sful business °woman leave her no time for ‘whose life worth the things that make while.” Three manths’ travel on business in Europe has only deepened her con- viction thAt woman's place is in the home.. She disapproves of the grow- ing feminism among European women “Women cannot be too ‘womanly for their own happiness,” she an- nounced in Paris. “To my mind the happiest women I have seen are the Ttalians, who are supposed to live in a semi-feudal state, They live for their husbands and their families. Their homes are beautiful. The world could learn a lesson from the marvel- ously happy women of Italy.” Ths American business woman, ac- cording to Mrs. MacDougall, is fol- lowing the lead of the American busi- ness man. She is becoming more and more absorbed in “deals” and in goif. 1t she tries to combine marriage with business the children suffer. If she gives up marriage for business the woman herself eventually suffers the penalty of a lonely old age. Mrs. MacDougall went into business to support her children. She has taken two sons into her business. Her grown daughter lives a sheltered life and has no desire to copy her mother’s business career. MODERN DRUiDS HOLD REMEMBRANCE SERVICE 50 .

Many Druid eeremonies were perfromed in the forests under spreading trees..

By the ‘Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, July 23,—Mothers who have careers outside the hame may not be neglecting thelr children but benefiting them, believes Mrs. Helen Taft Manning, dean of Bryp Mawr College., “Nowadays, hecause of facilities to lighten housework, there is far more danger of a woman becoming too com ipletely absorbed in the lives of her children,” says Mrs. Manning, “It is better. for children.to feel they are leading their own lives, and they gain much by not being with their mothers every minute.
