She had a maid .and often -women. rela- tives -living ‘with her. As <a home-maker the modren intel- | .y figent ‘woman far outstrips grandma. Her standards of Cleanliness, interior decoration, order,efficiency and «child care aré far ‘ahead of anything grand- ma ‘dreamed of. Moreover she engages in activities of citizen- | ship,. wage-earning and polities | which :grandmother did not even , attempt. “I’m Tired of Grand- | vba” is a noteworthy contribu- | ticn to. the defense of modern! women who have been bitterly | and ‘exstensively criticized «since the -war. Second, Miss Whitman (who is | “Owen Rumsey), Mrs daughter EVELYN WHITMAN... | She's tired of Grandma... et a Nova Scotia parson, wife of a New England high school ‘teacher and mother of two teen- agers, embodies in her own life | many of the points she makes to build .up her’ thesis. She keeps house for her family peo out help, bakes the pies and cookies they love, writes, does | some parttime teaching gives | some civic service to her Con- | necticut community and is ac-!} tive in the League of Women Voters. : During the war she handled an eight-hour factory job for one summer, ran the family victory garden, canned 300 jars of fruit and, vegetables, a year ‘and did some airplane spotting | dn addition to ‘her Some and mother chores. So when : ented’ “that the country could not at ygrandma”™”™ and draw oid that lady’s superior abilities to | aid in the «wartime. emeregncy, “granddaughter Whitman,” spu- ttering mad, took herself to her typewriter and hit it a few re- sounding thwacks. The result was a magazine article, “I’m Tired of Grandma,” which caused a lot of comment “and brought down a great deal of wrath on its author head. But it also brought an order from Bebbs-Merrill, New York pub- lisher, for a book by the,same name. Miss Whitman, still smarting from the arrows shot in her di- rection by increased readers of her articles, was inclined to hes- itate. But her husband insisted that she do the book. She wrote it in four months, working be- tween eight a. m. and noon. She says that without any com- ment her husband assumed the family dish-washing for that pe- riod, and that he has been. ex- tremely interested in her work. Any 20th Century denizen disturbed about the home life of women who work should see the warm glow in Evelyn Whit- man Rumsey’s grey eyes when she speaks of her husband, their children, and the little house with apple trees in tht front yard, which is home. She dis a small woman, with : 4resh skin framed in sliver-shot hair. She speaks in a soft voice. » The cotton plant produces ap- ‘promimately two pounds of seed or every pound of lint.
