Housekeeping Best Career To Prepare a Girl For Marriage THE EVENING WORLD Has Become a Real Profession Offering Better Average Pay Than Business or Teaching. P By Mrs. Christine Frederick. “ss Mowsehold Efficiency Ewpert, Author: “Household Engineering.” “FTER |’ ‘weet girl graduate has. + \ her diploma and laid away her gown and pressed the roses of her graduation bouquet, what next? In the majority of cases ste looks for @ position or concretely thinks about earning her living ta a half dozen ways for which he course may or may not have fitted her. She may expect to teach and so watt until the fall. She may take up nursing or enter any number of commercial lines. But in all this Planning of her future work, why does she so seldom think of house keeping as a pro- By fession? The chances are that she never gives it @ thought or at least never considers it seriously as a possibility for a genu- ine career; when as a matter of fact in all its modern ramifications it of- fers an excellent field with pay and opportunity as desirable as many po- sitions in the business office. Im recent years there has been de- veloped the work of visiting house- keeper, which means going from house to house, assisting industrial families with thetr spectal problems of diet, meal-planning, family expen- diture, &c. Such work is conducted by many social organizations and also by some large employers of labor. It is also carried on among farm families in some States under the auspices of the State School of Agri- culture, The work js interesting, has 5 stimulus and is splendidly to the young woman with @ serious purpose. Another phase of the professional housekeeping field is that connected with the management of Y. W. C. A. houses, sanitariums and __ private schools, where the best sort of trained women workers is demanded for such positions. The chief housekeeper in a large hotel holds a position of re- Sponsibility and executive trust equal to many of the most important posts in the business world As a lunchroom manager a girl has an extensive field for usefulness, Therg,are hundreds of day schools, cafeterias, &c., which need women trained in purchasing methods, who an combine practical experience with theoretical knowledge. faLast, but not least, the field is ning wider for the trained houre- keeper in the private home. Let this position not be confused with the old- time servant job. To-day even the private home demanding efficiency, intel! gence and executive ability in the household employes. Such work- ers have definite hours off, based practically on an eight-hour da: are addressed by their last nam: and in addition to a generous sal- ary’ they get their board and room. For those who can become skilled buyers of merchandise there is the special opportunity of becoming cater- ers for eating clubs so often fougd in large business houses. In such Cases it is: necessary to know how to ar- range meals, how to buy at the low- est market prices and how to obtain Satisfactory results from servants. These are only a few of the posi- tions,open to the young woman trained in modern housekeeping. It may be, of course, that she has a particular bent toward teaching or nursing, but why fot at least consider the possi- bilities ‘along the lines of making people comfortable, of feeding them correctly and of taking care of their homes? Surely work in a home is preferable 9 the impersonal routine of an office Many young women. And the only reason why such vast numbers of them enter commercial offices seems to be because of the pay and social advantages they offer. If these are made equa! tn the housekeeping field, Would not the latter appeal to a large group of women? Ona ba ef pay alone the housekeeping position generally offers more than even teaching or business. The ney of grade teachers is about 00 a month on an average, out of hich board and room must be taken And in ‘spite of all that is said about high ‘office salaries the average busi- hess woman receives between $18 and $25. Compare these wages with that of even the least of the housekeeping positions, which pay from $50 to $75 per menth, including board and room The net amount that one can save in such @ position is far greater than In ® great many teaching or office jobs, Another point to consider is that while on her graduation day a girl may not contemplate matrimony ani say that she is ‘‘unalterably vowed to a career, the chances are that she will marry sooner or jater and take up family life. The business, teaching or nurs- ing position does not prepare the girl in any way for marriage, but the housekeeping position does Mt also keeps alive her emotions a Copyright, 1029, (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co. and encourages her feminine at- tributes more than the commer- cial job. From this point of view housekeeping positions take Precedence over ali others, Bach year sees more and more women who desire to marry and at the game time keep up their practice of law, medicine, &c. How aré such ‘women going to do ft unless they can employ other women who have made ® profession of homemaking and who prefer this work? It is therefore important that a body of trained housekeepers be evolved to help solve this feminist probdlém. Let every ‘girl after graduation think of the possibilities of the sim- ple but universal work of the home. ‘We can very well get along without more lawyers; we may even part with some of the clerks and factory hends now employed. We certainly should get along with fewer doctors, but it ig difficult to see how we can get along with fewer cooks, In spite of our Increasing refine- ment and intellectual polish we still Must eat three times a day, even more regularly and surely than the first caveman, It remains with the girl graduate to say how happily and efficiently the families of the future will accomplish this. eRe NaS une LTE Ship Ahoy-0i-0i!

ASTPR WILLIE JARR came M rushing In the ‘house in great excitement and let his roller skates drop on the floor as he cried, “Oh, mamma, Harry Terwilliger’s papa has bought a radiophone and a man is putting it up in their house, and I have been asked to come over to-night to hear the bedtime stories told by “The Man in the Moon.’ Can T go, and can I have a radiophone too, so as to hear what “The Man in the Moon’ has to say to good little boys?" “IT suppose so."’ sald Mr. Jarr re- signediy. “That ts, I suppose you can go to hear ‘The Man in the Moon’ at the Terwilligers."’ “But can't we have a radiophone, or won't you make one for me asked the boy. “Johnny Rangl papa is buying the things to make a radiophone, and }; Slavinsky’s big brother, Sidney, is making one'’—— “Yes and I've been told that the police are after Sidney Slavinsky for stealing copper wire. So you'd better keep away from him and his home- made radiophone; I'm afraid he'll be ‘listening in’ from a reformatory." “But: won't you gét me a radio- Phone? All the boys have radio- phones," Master Jarr persisted, “It's only a craze that will soon die ov said Mr. Jarr in an oracular manner. You'd be as tired of it in a few days as you already are of those new roller skates. When I was a boy, children appreciated their Playthings. We didn't have all the costly: playthings children have these days — bicycles, roller skates, pogo moving pictures, radiophones, costly toys. I only had “Yes, and T suppose your father used to tell you how much luckier you were as a boy than he had been, because you had a yelocipede,’’ in terjected Mrs. Jarr. ‘I think it is wonderful the way children are inter- ested in scientific toys like the radio- phone these days. If our Willie was only encouraged in such things, in- stead of being discouraged, he might grow up to be a Thomas Edison. If he is a good boy we may be able to get him a radiophone, too. You will he a good boy, won't you, Willie?" But Master Jarr was paying smal! attention to his mother’s homily. His little sister fad picked up the family cat to pet it, whereupon the boy had seized the animal by the hind legs and was endeavoring to pull it away from the little girl at the imminent risk of vending the unfortunate and protesting feline asunder. “Don't do that!" cried Mrs. Jari deftly stapping both children with single motion, as the experienced street car conductor gives two im pulses to the bell cord with what is seemingly only one movement of the arm and wrist, “T should say’ not,’ said Mr. Jar: “Why, they'll kill the poor creature.”* “If they had a radiophone it would distract their attention, for they don’t really mean to be cruel to ani remarked: Mrs. Jarr, as the children loped away. “Not that the old cat ny good," Mrs, Jarr “continued ‘She's not worth her keep as mouser. The kitchen closets are just overrun with mice, and, ifvanything. I think the cat's afraid of them. And 1 just was reading in the paper that cats are carriers of diphtheria.” “Well, Tam not going to get them y radiophone;: we've got a phono ph and everything,” muttered Mr Jarr. "A radiophone would only keep them in the house, and now that sum mer is here, they should be out of doors more, running barefoot, lke | did when I was a boy. “T wish you wouldn't talk that way in front of the children,’* said Mos Jarr. “If they went barefoot t neighbors would think we couldn't afford to buy them shoes, and if th Terwilligers and the Rangles can afford a radiophone for their children we can afford one for ours , SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1922.
