So Many Are the Difficulties That Must Be Met By Those Who Follow the Profession of Being a Woman That Any Unborn Babe Should Think liong and Well Before Embarking on it

Being a woman has always been the most arduous profession that any human being could follow, but year by year it grows more compli- cated and so difficult it is no wonder that so many girl babies lack the courage to attempt it and turn up their little toes and die in infancy.

-~><m .

To be a man is a simple proposition. It re- quires no particular gift nor talent nor special tecnique. He has only to be as nature made him. and if nature didn't tum out a job that was any- thing to brag about it doesn't matter. He is still a man. And if he is a he-man he can get into the movies.

loveliest Child

“if you want your child to be s prize-ivinncr," says this mother, “hero is one rule you must. never neglect- keep the child free from constipation.”

No mother can expect that her child will escape nll the ills to which child- ren are subject, but she can do much to relieve tiicir sc\'erity by following this rule.

If your child is constipated, has a cold, :1 lever, no appetite or a. coated tongue, don't wait until a more ser- ious illness results.

Baby's Own Tablets are a safe and simple remedy for constipation. They reduce simple fever, allay colic, relieve croup, and help to relieve the dis- tress which accompanies the cutting ol teeth.

For your own peace oi mind and for the sake of your child, don't be without Baby's Own Tablets in the house. 2S cents a package at any druggisfs. I62

But with a woman it is entirely different. She has to be a compendium oi all the arts and graces and virtues even to get by. Just think of what is expected of even the common or garden variety oi woman! She must be a good-locker and thin us a match, no matter what sort of a face and figure God handed her. she must have brains under her permanent Wit-VB bl"- RBD "W!!! carefully concealed. She must be a vaudeville entertainer who can keep » the tired business man amused. She must dress like a fashion plate yet l run up no bills. She must be a devoted mother yet never smell of the

nursery. She must be a prestidigltator who can play the piano with one hand and perform on the gas range with the other.

I I i i 1

In a word, a woman is expected to be a. lady love, e. chum, a vamp,

a servant, a seamstress, a trained baby nurse and sick nurse, a hostess,

a perpetual alibi for her husband, a financial agent, a commissary de-

| partment, a chef and a standing excuse, and even at that no man thinks l that she is anything to write home to mother about.

‘ ‘ It would seem impossible that any one individual could possess all of

the qualities demanded of a woman and perform all the activities ex- pected oi her, but, strange to say, there are millions of wives andmothers who give this marvelous performance of womanhood as just part of the day's work and then get batted by friend husband because they had slacked a little on some item. Maybe they have been careless enough to let themselves get a little old and tired. Or perhaps they haven't kept their hands manicured and in a nice squeezablemcndltion. Or per- chance the pie had a thought too much sugar in it. Or something like that.

Oi course, if women could specialize in their professions as men do in theirs, it would be a lot easier on them and they could make greater successes. But a woman can't say I will be a cook or I will be a mother or I will be the best-dressed woman in my set or I will be a bridge shark, as a man can say I will be a criminal lawyer or a throat specialist or a bond salesman. She has to be a Jill oi all trades, and so it is no wonder that very often she turns out pretty slap-dashy work and acquires ner- vous prostration to boot, sprintling from the butcher shop to the sym- phony concert and walking the baby with the colic while she triu to thrnk up a few wise cracks with which to divert hubby when he returns home in the evening.

Almost every important couturier shows models in one of the cotton materials and some houses feature it. Cotton in fact has become an all day fabric and can be seen with equal chic far into the night. Or- gandie, batiste, dotted Swiss, pique muslin, dimity are all smart once more and have besides o. certain in- nocent and reminiscent charm which makes them even more popu- lar. And of’ course, not only frocks are made of these materials but blouses to be -wcrn with suits, too.

And in the silk fabric line, it wouldn't do at all not to mention prints-as often as I've already spoken of them to you.( No less a person than Patou (as well as Worth) gives over a considerable part of his collection to printed frocks an densemblss for summer.

For, alas, many women lack versatility. They could be good cooks or good society ladies. They could shine either in the nursery or the drawing room. They could step out to night clubs with husband or stay at home and keep the children covered. But it is when they try to do them all at the same time that they get things gummed up.

These are, however, the ancient drawbacks to the profession of being a woman, and the feminine sex has coped with them so long that it has learned how to handle them with more or less efficiency. It is the new problems arising out of the changed conditions of modern society and modern inventions that have added more handicaps to the woman busi- ness. .

Then marriage was a stable institution. When people get married they stayed married, and a woman didn't have to give her best energies and most of her time and thoughts to keeping her husband vampcd. Men were comparatively simple creatures with few wants in wives, and if e woman was amiable and - leasant to live with and a first-class cook and looked after her household and her children, her husband was satisfied.

‘these are but a few of the many difliculties that must be met by those who follow the profession of being a woman. There are many others. So many, indeed, and so difficult is the profession that any unborn babe should think long and well before embarking on it.

Spread‘ one liberally with some rather stiff lam-apricot is ideal - leaving a plain border oi half-inch or so around the edge. Damp this bor- der. Lay the other piece oi pastry on top and press them well together, working the borders up and down with your fingers to make a sort of wlllflmd edge.
