How may a homemaker be ob- tained?

By calling 321. Charlottetown. mid 355-11. Summerside.

Who is the homemaker‘!

The homemaker is a woman choscn because her motto is: “Service to the public." She ie' also chosen because we know she IS a person who ls-quick to adapt. and ahlc to resume responsibility. ‘She is usually a woman superior in intelligence and character to the avcrzigc household worker.

What duties can the Homemaker perform?

l. Caro of children.

2. Marketing, and preparation of the locals.

3~ Kifelbing the house in order.

y 4. Light laundry and light clean- mg.

5. Teaching better methods of homo-making. which include nutri- tion and food preparation, budget-

l ins. child care, and household man-

agement.

What are the hours of the Home- maker?

The ordinary hours of duty are from 8 AM. to 5 P.M., or 8:30 AM, to 5:30 PM. Monday through Fri- day. and from B A.M. to 12:30 PM. on Saturday. She usually does not work on Sundays or statutory holi- days.

How long will the homemaker slay with one family?

The homemaker stays an aver- age of six days with a family, rarely longer than ten days, how- ever the number of days ie ad- Justed as needed by the local su- pervisor.

' What is the fee for Homemaker Service?

The fee is never decided arbi- trarily by the supervisor but al- YVBYs in consultation with the fam- ily» Consideration is given to many factors before setting the fee, some of them are; the gen- eral standard of living, the num- ber of children. the rent to ‘be Dﬂld. the length of time the home- maker will be needed. etc.

Fees are never decided over the telephone, but always by a visit

of the Supervisor. They are con- sidercd confidential by the Red

Cross and the family in requested not to discuss the fees with friends unless they are willing to explain all the matters taken into consid- eration in making the adjustment.

Where are payments for the service made’!

They may be made to the super- visor, or sent direct to the Red Cross, but they are never made to the homemaker.

An official receipt will always be mailed from the Red Cross.

Could any community start n Homemaker Service?

It depends—-if a community de- sired the Service, the Provincial Supervisor would meet a repre- sentative group of citizens, con- vened by the Red Cross, to discuss local conditions and to ascertain the need for this service in the dis- trict. 1f the local Red Cross exe- cutive decides on forming a Homemaker Service, a formal re- quest for its installation should be forwarded to the Provincial office. The Branch must be prepared to give qualified supervision to the daily work of the home-maker as well as budget for the Service.

Next week, I shall tell you a bit about the types of Homemaker Services available to the pUlbIiC.

Chapter XXVI

Gale House was n venture into which. in exchange for combined sponsorship of Kitty and the Char- lottenburg, Elsie Tweed had invest- ed sixty-five thousand dollars on a one-third profit sharing basis. The ides had been born out of a chance remark of Eisie's, who was concerned over the inability or her second son, Le Roy, to get his clutch into any sort of business enterprise following his return from France two years after the Arm- lstice.

This observation, coupled with the fact that Kitty had long had an appraising eye on the beautiful old Crowley mansion which, stand- 1118 empty in Fifty-third Street's best block could be rented for a song, brought about a liaison of ideas that resulted in Gala House, Despite serious and secret fore- bodings on the part of Kitty and the Ghariottenburg. four stories of Gala House (incorporated Gain Club as a means to a. liquor license in s. prohibition age) took form around Le Roy but obivious of him, There were a. dancing and edln- ing floor, Debutante Lounge; Tea. and-Better Room; ping-ponmbrldge and mah-jongg parlors; Rendez- Vous Bar and, last but not least, Gala Club's greatest publicity assct, the Star-Dust Room, with its re- voling blue dome, star-studded. that gave the illusion of open Nea- politan sky. Cassie Cassandra anti Olin Sparkes were to help dance this room and, incidentally, Gala Club into fame. With the original idea of Gala House altered to meet the requirements of prohibition strictures, the pencil-thin, postwar fiappers of the era could now swing their silk legs from the high stools before the mirrored bar, as cocktail hour at Gala became the fad.

The social, political and profes- sional powers who were to help make Gala Club highly lucrative, and who formed a. steady stream of mortorcar arrivals the afternoon and evening that the modish doors of the town's new playhouse swung open. had been painstakingly chosen and achieved.

Add to tzhese machinations the sure-handed touch of the Char- lottenburg, a hand that had finger in so many pies, the social prestige of the house of Pretorlous-Twec-i, the dash and more of exquisite taste, political acumen, showman- ship, shrewdness, flair for me:- chandising, and you have the quality that aroused the huzzas of of those for whom Gala Club was designed... Gala. Club needed to strike its gala pace from the hour it. was born, and Kitty had seen to it that its tills yielded from then

on.

The opening of Gala Club also

implied Sierra even when though. irrelevant to it as a deaconess, she moved with the stream of guests seeing the building for the first time despite the fact that her father had been instrumental in drawing its lease. Seated beneath the imitation dome of heaven, drawing the hordes of exploring guests into her lair by the centrifugal force of her presence, the charlotten- burg. in the manner expected and by now virtually demanded 0d hcr, opened vltuperative fire upon her guests.

"Welcome, futile on, to our

house of mtiiityl When in doubt of how most mercifully to commit the foul murder known as killing time, come to Gala. Club. When you would dawdie away irredeem- able time, come to Gala. Club, where we aim to profit in n bis way b7 your frailties. Get out of here, my children. Tho trenches reeked, out so does Miss Muliane'a new per- fume, ‘Star Dust‘, which, by the way, is on sale here in the Ster- Dust Room at the Perfume Bar. Sixteen-fifty an ounce." "Isn't she mstchless? Did you hear her insult Laurel about her rolled stockings? If anyone clse hld said that! Aren't they a mar- velous three. Have you seen the new Kitty Muliano necklaces? No- thing in the world but gilded clam shells, my clear, the kind you pick up on the bench. She originated them for the Ali Babe Revue. ‘rhrlty-two dollars and fifty cents. my deer, for a few clam shell!- Shh-lh-h, that's Sierra Baldwin, the third one. She looks as if butter would freeze in her mouth."

"The old dragon is probably lvw- ing her conversational hiss con- cerning the foibles of us customers." This from a sharp-profiled young matron who rplayed bridge for high stakes, hit the mark because the Cherlottenburg was in the act of observing to sierra. that bad nwr-h- ers were most. noticeable in the human race before and after the age of thirty.

The noxcitod eyes of Sierra moved across the excited scene. resting without flicker upon the arriving figures of Leonora, Oliver and her father, inching their way toward the Charlottenburg. less than two hours before, this same

elegant, seifpossessed Mrs. Baldwin, apparently so rightly fixed within her orbit, had laid her head cle- gantly colffured, on the desk of Sierra? office and sobbed out a decision over which, deep down, Sierra. could still feel herself trem- bling.

It had been a terribe and reveal- ing scene that climaxed many pre- decessors in that same office dat- ing back to that first hot day in August, and now here she was, tho scant two hours later, not only in the finery of fur and furbelow, but the finery of the carefully draped expression, the flowery smile, the amethyst glitter of eye. As Sierrsﬂs anxious eye. sought out her father. nothing in his expression indic- ated awareness of the precarious- ness o! her design of existence. Their interrelated lives as com- piicated as the pattern of the huge Chinese embroidery that hung from ceiling to floor of the Star- Dust Room, Leonore, John and Oliver pushed through the crush, the two of them more or less in rhythm with the crowd.

John Baldwin awkwardly at variance, jabbing and being jabber! in return.

"Here comes a large sore thumb known as your father," remarked the Chariottenbtlhg. ED571113 him. "He sticks out because he has come out of a. sense of duty to the strange doings of the strange friends of his strange daughter.” To be continued
