A WOMAN'S COMMITTEE RECO NIZED BY GOVERNMENT. “The committee is the one organi- zation for directing women's activi- ties recognized by the Government,” Dr. Shaw told me, “Its members are not chosen to represent special so- cieties or movements, and it 1s strict- ly non-partisan, Then Dr. Shaw said something for which I have been waiting impa- ue ’. at deal of the registration of ous activities has been » remarked with commendab!

I asked Dr. Shaw. “Can you recommend some specific service?” “We can economize,” she said eim- ply. “The manufacturers tell us that we must not atop buying clothes, but at least we can buy less expensive materials and simpler designs. We need not wear costly furs on the Fourth of July. We can economize on our tables. We do not need so many courses at dinner. I think, however, that men as well as women must be taught to live more simply. The man and not the woman ts the final ar- biter of the menu in the average ome, “I have gathered from the news- papers,” Dr. Shaw added with a twinkle, “that in the present crisis women are expected to do three things—to furnish inspiration to men ha who must fight, to preserve a sweet calm and serenity through all excite- ment and to economize. If the wife economizes on the table before her husband has become convinced that such saving 1s essential—well, I am afraid she will have to fight hard to preserve her serene calm. “Then women must not be wet blankets to their men, ‘The mother who says that she will hide her boy from the recruiting officer is taking a shallow and short-sighted view of the situation.
