The title most: women seek and. are proudest of is ‘“‘Mrs.”— whether it be Mrs. Jones or Mrs. Throckmorton-Smythe. But a lot’of very happily mar- ried women are sick and tired of having to list their occupation as “housewife.” They like the job but don’t like the tag. They feel it doesn’t have enough dignity, doesn’t describe their im- portant role well enough, and in- condescension from To put it in one lady’s words, “Whenever I have to say I'm a housewife, it makes me feel mousy —and that makes me feel boiling mad, like a lioness. But what can I do? After all, Iam just a house- wife.” Well, some women. are trying to do something about it. They are eampaigning to erase the word “housewife” from the American vocabulary and. replace it with “homemaker.” Among ‘the embattled hausfraus in this cause“is: Mrs. Norma A. Lee of Rutland, Ohic. “I feel that this name (house- ) is not only a most inadequate but that it is actually an un- ,”? she wrote, “It has a bad very word ‘housewife’ places the emphsis upon the house rather than the home, and gives the implication a woman is more concerned over dirty tracks on her clean floors than in her child's welfare. ““The name ‘homemaker’: places the emphasis upon the home, and implies so much more.

Rimbaud observed Ernie Link! lounging against the hotel hitch rack, “I got somethin’ to tell you,” Link announced. The tense tone of his voice stirred a faint bell of warning in Rimbaud’s brain, yet the door- way’s shaft of lamplight revealed no gun at Ernie’s hip. “Save it for some other time,” Rimbaud suggested. Link, moving “his sling-sup- | ported right arm a trifle, shouted angrily, Sai Rimbaud?

She could even be calleci “homewife,” although that we raise the question as to whether there was an office wife in the background, too. But if the annoyed kitchen cuties will take one man’s advice—well, instead of fighting against that term housewife, they'll fight for it.
