She admits there are two sides—a wrong side and a right side—and when you hear this kind, matronly, clear eyed woman talk you feel quite confident that she is capable of choosing the right side. When 1 asked “Is a wife's summer vacation a necessity?” she did not say, “Wel! that depends"—— or “Lat me think a minute, ts it really?” ‘She simply snapped a most emphatic “Mo” just like that. And before I had time to ask anoth- “em question she seated herself com- fértably in a cozy chair by the side of an tmmensé desk in her West End ‘Avenue appartment, and entatged up- “There are some women,” she said, a little smile playing about her lips, “wh simply would die of hu- miliation, who could never look their| friends squarely in the face again, if they didn't go ‘out of town’ for a| few weeks ot for the whole summer. | They will go without closet-room, without a private bath, eat poorly cooked food, and go without many} of the conveniences they have at home just for the sake of SAYING “when { was at such and such @ And while they| are going through all these little dis- comforts the real tollér of the family, the power behind the throne, the tired over-worked husband is going through all kinds of diMcuities. “Perhaps he does throw up his hat aad sing “MY wife's gone to the country, burrah!” for the first few days, but when he comes home to a littered apartment, unmade bed, empty ice-box and no one to even ‘say ‘boo’ to things don’t seem a0 jolly fine after all. “qt has always been my theory that a wife should conduct her home just as a man does his business. That she should always be ‘on the job.’ And the wife who shuts up her home and goes off for a summer lark ts not, directly speaking, on the job. ‘The average man has all he can do to take care of his business affairs and it s certainly up to his wife to Jook after the home affairs, Men, especially married men, cannot sew on buttons, prepare cooling, nourish- ing summer meals, attend to the proper change of clothing or even — STENOGRAPHERS| Increase Your SPEED and Earn More MONEY | a | HERMAN J.

Who knows but some hus- what Mrs, John F. Yawger, General get up on time to go to business, as far as that is concerned. The sum- mer months are very trying ones, the average man has two weeks of vacation and then ‘back to the mines, there'll be no strike to-night.’ Since the wife is the head of her home and can plan out the workings of that home I can't see why that wife can’t ; Blouses and Smo cks Popular This Summer Brilliant Colors Find Widest Favor; plan to take her vacation at the same time and for merely those two weeks. Surely, if a busy man can have but two weeks’ rest, wives should be con- tent with the same amount of time. And, after all, I don't believe that a woman's work in the home consists of any more routine than a man's. Women complain that they get tired of doing the samo thing over and over, But unless a man ts an artist, & writer, @ musician or doing some sort of creative work It is just a case of doing things over and over, too. “The tactful wife plans to take little trips out of town over Satur- day and Sunday, She keeps up con- tinual interest in her home just as a man must keep up continual inter- est in Its work at the office. The home i the foundation of all married happiness. And a wife must keep it @ home in the true sense of the word, not an abiding place, She must be there in the morning to start her husband off to business; she must see that every detail. goes on ‘as usual’—that her husband hag the Proper vegetables and fruits of the season; that he wears his cool clothes in warm weather and his warmer ones on chilly, damp days, And she must be there to welcome him home at bight.” Mrs. Yawger paused @ moment and I wickedly suggested: “Besides con-+ sider all these comforts and a wife's absolute necessity in her home, don’t you think it @ little risky for wives to leave home when every one knows the sirens are all loose and the roof gardens have so many girlie, girlie shows?” A twinkle came into Mrs. Yaw- ger's serious eyes, “Well, you know the old saying,” she laughed, “While the cat's away the mice will play.’ I have no doubt that many happy little homes are broken up by this summer vacation business, “Of course, where there are Slekly children or where the wife is a bit delicate herself, there are cases where an absolute rest is necessary; then it 1s well for a wife to go just on the outskirts of the city, some Nttle place where her husband can come up to visit her over the week- end, “BUT"—Mrs, Yawger returned to her serious mood—“there are many wives who consider a vacation an actual necessity when in reality it is a luxury, And sometimes they have to pay the price ‘in full’ for thi, luxury: “The Good Old Summer Time’ may mot prove 80 ‘good’ for the » This is the day of em- and the efficient wife does not look upon a summer vaca- ton as & necessity, She is willing to work just a8 hard and just as long as her husband does, “And as to the money end of « wifo’s summer vacation,” concluded this big, Droad-minded woman, “why, the woman who takes @ two or three weeks’ jaunt by herself spends enough to refurnish an entire living room in her home or to give her fam: lly some pleasure that wil! make them happy the whole year, ‘Ig wife's summer vacation a necessity? wow \ BRicK, By Margaret Rohe i HEY are being introduced to you | as peasant blouses, jumpers. | cassocks or, to go the Frenchy | limit, casaques, this season.
