W : WONMAN'S TWOFOLD NATURE ‘Woman, discontented and homesick in the business world, and woman, dissatisfied in, the home, is the theme of a strong and unusually interest- & ing article by Nancy Musselman in g o the November Good Houte-keeping Magazine, ' Development of the world’s indus- tries has taken social service out of the home, she tells us, and, as the in- stinct to serve is one of the strong- est impelling forces of woman’s na- ture, she has followed theze indus- tries out into the world. But the F world demands that she either give up serving or give up mothering. “It allows no such thing as half time L work in either field.” ] Why Not Have Both? “She has her business, but she i wants her child, she has her profes- - sion, but she wants her love; she = ; has her office, but she wants her home. And why, if you please, should she not have both—should she not have all—should she not be allowed to live out her life to the fullest, satisfying all the good impulses of which she finds herself posseszed?” This twofold expression, of her na- ture is essential if woman is to have happiness and a full, rich life, but the world will have to. he educated to that ideal and conditions of labor altered so that woman may have both ; a home life and a world life. "' - World Built By Man 4 “Material things have a wonderful way of ultimately adjusting them- selves to spiritual needs. The com- cause it was built by and for man, - and not because of any foreordained ¥ . and inherent necessity. It is quite i conceivable that the influence of wom- mercial world is what it is today be- an brought to bear upon it will be equally powerful in altering it to suit her needs.” And this transformation, the writ- er urges, will lesren the sex-antagon- ism that prevails teday, bring about more real sympathy between men and women and a closer relationship between parents and children, Something fore Than Laws “And meanwhile, she concludes, both the most glorious and the most difficult position in the world today is that of the woman who is trying to be both a world-woman and a home-woman. It is pioneer work S she is doing. One such woman who succeeds in bzing both a campetent public servant and a capable honored mother is doing more toward the establishment of the new day than all the laws that the Senate and the House can pass. .- Not that we do not need the laws. i We do. But laws and privileges are something laid on from the outside; while such fullness of life as these women are finding is something that springs from within, and gives unal- terable proof that herein lies wom- i an’s highest develorment.” \ GIVE THE GIRLS A CHANCE An educator and psycologist, thru the public press, gives some interest- ing and helpful suggestions to par- ents as to what kind of presents to give their children. Choose something that will be con- ducive ‘to mental~ development ‘and that will arouse the creative instinct. Study the tastes of your children,” he says, ‘especially your boys, and give presents to "develope ' these tastes.”s “Give your girl; a needle and thread.” "But suppose your boy is fitted for a tailor and your girl for an, electri-- " cal engineer. Suppose your son has " the latent genius of a Poiret and your -« daughter the-gift of language and ability‘that would fit her for the pub- lic platform.

A WOMAN’S BEAUTY “She has a typical Grecian nose and other features so regular as to make a most beautiful face,” says a critic of one of the well known actresses who has now joined the movies. That’s the way to deseribe beauty in a cow, a railroad station, an auto- mobile, or anything else in which there’s no possibility of a soul show- ing forth, but to people of intelli- gence and judgement there must be something more than type and regu- larity to make the human face truly beautiful. : Every girl, every middle-aged, ev- ery old woman can be bzautiful. Right thoughts, bright thoughts, happy thoughts make a beauty more impressive and, lasting than can reg- ularity of feature and all the arti- ficial aids in the market. The Grec- ian nose wrinkles at 35 and the oth- er “artistic’ features are often gone This makes an at 40. The happy disposition writ- ten in woman’s face by generous and bright thoughts is a beauty tha% cheats time. Very often a plain-faced woman is most beautiful. It is not the thape of the face but what’s in the face that makes true beauty. That actress may bz most beautiful, fac- ially, but she’ll be a failure in the movies unless she puts sentiment in- to her posings for the camera. Every woman is before a camera— the eyes of the public. She can bz’ beautiful if her face reflects bright thoughts, happy thoughts. The pub- lic especially the masculine part of .it, is growing more and more prac- -tical every day, is appreciating, more and more, beauty of the soul rather than the regularities of tha surface effects.

Gregory, of the famous juvenile court, presid- ed over by Judge Ben. B. Lindsey in Denver, has been a conspicuous fig- ure in juvenile work for a decade. First through her conn:zction with the night school for boys, and later for the part she played in bringing the juvenile court to its present standard of excellency;, as probation officer, clerk and. more recently as associate judge. In 1903, Mrs. Gregory entered. the juvenile court service, the very day the law, which created it, went into effect. Since then more than thirty thousand children have passed, through her hands. First Woman Judge She has the distinction of being the first woman in the United States to receive an appointment of asse- ciate judgeship receiving as she did the appointment about seven years ago. As Judge Lindsey has said: “Why should’nt we have women as assistants in juvenile work?” All cases involving young girls are heard privately by Judge Lindsey and Mrs. Gregory, with parents ptes- ent if possible. And they do not hesitate to mete out punishment to the parents if, in their opinion, they are culpable. When Judge Lindsey is away—and that is quite often— Mrs. Gregory takes full charge of the court, carrying on the work equally as well. And those who know say it is remarkable the work she does. President of Poei’s Club. She also has been president of the .| Poet’s and Authors’ Club of Colorado .|and of the Colorado Art Club as well. - .| One day while the art studznts were giving an exhibit, a poor boy gazed longingly in at the window. For “|lack of the small admission charge, he ammed his car, over his eyes and started whistling down the street. From the inside a lady saw him and hastered ont to invite him. “I ain’t got the price,” he said, turning away. ‘But I have,” che assured him. While they went picture fazing, he confided his hopes to her and she to him. He it seecmed, longed for knowledge, but had not the means or charce to acquire it. She dream- ed of founding a night school for just such as he. Why wait? They decided to begin at once. Starts Boys Night School. “Bring your brother and the other boys you know, who:want to learn and we will start tonight,” she told, him. It takes courage and capital te start such things, and Mrs. Gregory furniched both. In this way Colo- rado’s first night school for boys made its humble beginnirg. From five to four hundred and, fifty pupils in four and a half years and from a teaching staff, of which she was the sole ‘member, to a staff of instruc- tors, which included some educators, wlkose names are now among the most prominent in Cotorado, is her record. The Citiy of Denver has since taken over the school. Certainly this rather rervous, en- ergetic little woman has done and is ctill doing ratker big things in her quiet way. THE BERD AND THE .CURVE When woman dresses for comfort, grace and ease instead, of for style which means for show, then will she be judged by the bent of her mind instead of the curve of her ankle.
