But pri vately we would consider it extraor dinary. And if our brother or son wants to marry the cook or maid In our home !! Words fail us! No woman is going to put herself in a position where she will be thus os tracised. And that Is the chief reason, I think, why women will do most any sort of work that gives them a recognized so cial position rather than work that gives them none, in fact casts a sort of stigma upon them. I know a charming young girl who went out in the family of a friend in a farming community as a helper be cause she wanted to earn money to aid her father and mother during a period of financial stress. Her friends un derstood the situation and her action made no difference in their attitude toward her. In fact they admired her and liked her all the more. But at a social gathering in the neighborhood a woman who recognized her merely as the helper in this family said, with scornful amazement. "Why, she works out. v hat is she doing here?" And there you have the general at titude in a nutshell. F"or some reason we gather our so cial skirts about us when we come in contact with a "hired girl." I know of another case where a girl, because of ill health and the necessity to spend a year or so In a certain place, took a position in a home to earn her living while away from an opportuniU to follow her usual occupation. Later she married a successful business man. removed to a Southern town, became quite a favorite socially and an active worker in the club of her town. A member of the club discovered that she had at one time been a maid. Disrup tion of the club followed, a number of the members declaring they could not be expected to associate with a servant girl. Snobbery, you will say. But calliivg things hard names does not remedy them. This condition is all wrong, most of us will admit. But isn't It up to the women of the land to remedy it if we want to improve the domestic service problem? Isn t it up to us to grapple with the problem honestly and earnest ly and bring about a different condition of affairs? to see Mademoiselle Pavlowa. and later After the meeting light ref riishments Mr. and Mrs. William C.

I "She "Works Out." jn our discussion of why women choose to work In factories and stores instead of in the home, although in many cases they could work under bet ter conditions and save more money in the home, we have considered what might be called some of tho minor rea sons. Some of them "may have seemed rather big, but in reality they are In significant compared with one big ma jor reason. And this Is the social stigma that attaches to housework. There is no evading this fact. We must face It. And the fault is not with the maid, but with the mistress. We blame women for not taking this position in our homes, and yet we our selves are responsible for their not taking it. We look upon our maid as beneath us socially. We are willing to meet upon terms of social equality a trained nurse, a stenographer, a saleswoman a bookkeeper. But let any of our friends have her cook at a. social func tion and introduce her to us and ex pect us to receive her, and conster nation. We go away wondering if our friend has become slightly unbalanced and we discuss the affair as if the heavens had fallen. They have, socially I am willing to admit that not all women take this view.

Simon Weyrick. lawyer and realty dealer, who was arrested Monday night, suspected of conducting a mar riage brokerage concern, will have a hearing in Municipal Court Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The case was scheduled to come up yesterday, but was set over by Judge Stevenson. Matrimonial relations dabbled in by Weyrick brought him into some noto riety last Winter. An advertisement he had inserted In a newspaper at' tracted a man who, according to DeD uty jjistrict Attorney Dempsey, gave Weyrick $250. telling him to secure for him a divorce and to give what money remained to the divorcee. The wife did not wish to be divorced and demanded the $250 from Weyrick, and when he refused had him arrested on a larceny charge.
