As a nunc sn private homes for five years I was in close contact with the rich and poor, the careless and the thrifty-, and 1 found in all of them conditions ttut wetc appalling. Tim! mothers with many children and no conveniences; unhappy and poorly nour ished little chitdren who seldom had a warm, substantial, well-balanced meal. One mother I rcmccobcr particularly urith nine young children. }u*t too tired and coo dispirited to try to get the work done. The children were being brought upon canned soup and baker's stuff, soft white bread as a steady diet. They did acquire a rattletrap car that would hold them alt. It was the only recreation they knew, and 1 coefess to being glad that they could get away in it. Now as I look at my own home with its power-driven washing machine and other labor-saving devices, even chough our family is small, ! can see why these homes were so poorly kept. There was neither time nor strength to do the work, to keep the temper sweet, nor to think of balanced meals. From such homes come our youth ful criminals, so it seems to me that it is up to every city official to be interested in public utilities with services to houses of che poor at a minimum rate. Lee the dab women help. It would help in law observ ance." , *' TT7E ARE anxiously awaiting tbccotn* * plete tabulated reports," writes an important personage in the state of Minne sota. " Wc wish to know how wi: compare with others, and incidentally and pur posely let me commend you for having called the attention of the nation to the importance of the vocation ofhomemak ing, than which there is none greater.** And this from another magazine editor: "We hope to he let in on some of this good ma terial. Nothing has so stirred the interest of the country. ' You would never dream of anyone being inspired to rhyme over anything so prosaic as water-main connections and kitchen sinks, but here comes one at the close of a perfect day penned by a club woman who nad been trysstg to find Out something about the old home town: Said a damsel quite fetching and fair, "1 have filled out that questionnaire. If che men had to do it They'd never Jive through it; They'd just sec all those questions and scare. "If we women so wise and so witty Had the credit for building a city We'd have figures in columa*. And (acts by the volumes, But the men never do, morn's rhe pity I And this from a cheerful reader who hopes to have modern equipment m ber home someday: System little drops of water, link: grams of sense. Make a mighty washing ,, Look like thirty <<' * * Just press a little button And go and bake a pic. Then do a little testing White the clothes are getting dry. Long after the survey isconcluded, its in fluence will be felt among clubs whose interest in civic welfare has been touted by the articles, which are appearing on this subject. Not only are club women dis cussing the results, but beads of companies which are building up public utilities, manufacturers of labor-saving devices anJ government officials are using the returns for correcting abuses in public service, reduring the cost of labor-saving devices and taking a census of conditions in American homes. 'T'HE questionnaires which we sene out J-concained many questions pertaining to intimate civic affairs, but there are two ucstions with subdivisions that arc put airecely to club women and these are: i. Has your club as a w hole, or in any of its sections, had meetings during die Current year devoted to any of the fol lowing or kindred subjects? a. The relation of public utilities to Efficient and economical housekeeping * Family health Eyesight Home comfort and concent b. The homekeeping influence on the sons and daughters exerted By good color effects in furnishings and decorations By cheerful and adequate lighting methods By increased provision of entertain ment in the home rather than in public places a . If such subjects have been discussed not by your dub as a whole but in cer tain sections, how* many members be long to these sections? 3. Will you cover tliese subjects next year? These inquiries were placed last on the questionnaires in order that the relation between the practical and the spiritual might be easily seen. They were meant to . suggest a big field of study to the club women. The reaction bat been splendid. Women arc beginning to feel more and more that the community ts their home and that until it is neater what it should be the in dividual home cannot hope to have tlx: peace and che spiritual uplift that is its rightful due. Any club can make a distinct contri bution to community and individual borne life if it will include the subjects mentioned shove in its 1916-17 program. Ac this time you are all busy outlining your work for next year. Some of you wifi give most of your time to civic and welfare work. You can develop these topics to great advantage. Other clubs trill feature cultural programs which fill a need in the lives of their mem bers. It is not necessary to abandon your studies in art, literature or music, but you will cufoy refreshing change, - perhaps wholesome stimulation, if you appoint a 'committee on current event* in your own town and give art occasional program on civic problems. Viricty is indeed the ipiee of life, even in our clubs. ; j j Low-Cost Menus \\TVt SOMETIMES wonder If every W Co mp a n io n bride in the country hasn't written to Miss Bradley at some stage in Iter career to ask for bdp on menu planning for two--and more tv pccully, menu planning wilh an tyc to the budget. So Mis* Bradley has written a new booklet, planned for small, budget-keeping families and adaptable to larger ones. Her method has been to select a market order for two peepk for week, costing about $8.00. and, first, to show the percentages ofthe necessary weekly total of proteins, fats, mineral matter and energy contained in each item and. s c c o ikJ, to'build a balanced diet for a week around such a market order. After a curcfut study of the percentage tabic and iIk day-by-day menus which Miss Bradley has worked out, y o u will knowjust how to go about working out your own problems. A list of helpful books and bulletins is also included. In addition to these practical dis cussions the booklet contains three low- cost party menus for large and small affairs. The price of Low-Cost Menus is 15 cents, ordered from Woman's Home Companion, Service Department, 250 Park Avenue, New York. Gl D3369 I
