SAY NEIGHBORLY ART
FORGOTTEN BY WOMEN
t'H It'AliO, March 1 .. The women of
t.i.lav. in th" hurry and' turmoil of mod
ern city life, have forgotten the. art
of being neighborly the art that dis
tinguished I"'' kindly, bustling grand
mother. Hut it is not her own fault, j
It is the fault of city congestion, of j
science, of doctors and of hospitals. She
still has the neighborly disposition, but
l,.ut tl... nniiortnnitv to show it.
Those, at least, are tin mentions of
Mrs. Oeorg" 11. Hroomell and Mis. .lames ;
L. Howe, in communications hi mc i
Chicago Woman s club. Mrs. I'.roouiell ,
is a native of the hospitable N'ew Kng
land hills. Mrs. Howe is from the west.
where the spirit is as strong. N'o mere.!
they declare, do we find the genial
exchange of mince pies, of recipes, and
of a standard home cure which charac
teri7-. tl," daily lives of women of
earlv davs.
