BOYCOTT TO BE TOPIC
After Discussion Today Chamber
Delegation Will Go to Salem.
BY EDITH KNIGHT HOLMES. ,
BACK-TO-THE-KITCHEN move
ment, started indirectly when
domestic science became popular
in schools and colleges, is now in full
swing. Girls wh decided a short time
ago that they would forsake the kitchen
for the department store are now re
turning to their former work, where,
they say, "it is less nerve-racking and
the pay is getting better."
The war cut off the supply of green
girls from the old countries, and those
who were here realized that they could
get good pay. good treatment and suit
able positions if they only demanded
mem.
And so. while the men and women
of the country are figuring on the high
cost of living, they should not overlook
this item the high cost of keeDlnz
cooks, maids and general housework
In spite of the fact that there are
numbers of the local girls going back
10 me Kitchen, there are still many
vacancies. Jobs galore are waitlnz for
capable girls to fill them. Wages this
year are better than they were two
years ago. Scores of women who kept
no maid last year are now employing
one, two and even three girls.
Miss Constance Whealdon. secretary
of the free employment bureau of the
xoung Women's Christian Association.
said yesterday in speaking of prevail
ing conditions: "I think the business
men must be making money to be able
to pay the bills. Good girls are greatly
in demand, and have no trouble in
getting from $40 to $50 if they are
nrsj-class cooks; $30 to $35 if they are
good second girls, and about the same
for general housework.
"There are good homes in which a
girl is well treated, well housed and
well fed, where the. wages are often but
$20 and $25. But, take it all round,
people are paying better wages and
are hiring far more help than they
once were."
Women who, a short time ago, had a
woman in once a week to do the clean
ing, now pay regular housemaids, and
this has added greatly to the cost of
keeping the household.
There is now, more than ever, a de
mand for well-trained girls. Those
who have studied household economics
and are thorough and practical, and,
added to this, have good dispositions.
find no difficulty In getting first-rate
positions. The slovenly,, dirty or dis
honest girl doesn't last long. The
mean, unkind and quarrelsome house
wife can't keep a good girl. It is all
simmered down in the end to the two
facts money and disposition.
If the mistress and maid are both
good-tempered and not antagonistic in
disposition, and if the maid is capable
and the mistress is reasonable, the two
generally get along beautifully. ' If
people can pay for the best they ex
pect to get it
Some women are now allowing their
girls the entire afternoon off and even
ing, too, and on that day do not ex
pect Lhem to come back to get dinner.
These positions are snapped up with
great speed. One -woman who lives
out from the city's center a 20-minute
car ride, can't get a girl, she says, be
cause it takes so long to get to town
on the day off, and then one must rush
so to get home.
The kind of room set apart for tne
girl is another question that must be
faced today. Some of the families
building new homes . have set aside
bright, attractive apartments for the
maids. But there are still those who
would expect the girl to sleep In the
attic or in a dark, dingy room that is
little better than a Jail cell. With the
advancement of the girls in matters of
education, has come the demand for
better housing, and this adds to the
general cost of things, but those who
study the subject say the efficiency ob
tained offsets this-expense.
For the young girls who want good
homes there are still many places that
are suitable and where they can be
happy and well treated, even if the pay
is small. Many girls prefer a home
like place where the pay is small to a
more exacting position.
"A girl who has the right mental
attitude toward work will be a suc
cess," said Miss Whealdon, "but the
woman for whom she works should also
have a right mental' attitude. There is
no hard and fast rule for house maids
or mistresses. They are all so dif
ferent." Meantime, the back-to-the-kitchen
movement is being encouraged by the
domestic science teachers, the house
wives and the girls themselves. .The
secret of it all is said by some of the
maids to be that people are realizing
that a home cannot be "Queen Anne in
the front and Mary Ann in the back.
Every part of the modern home must
be clean, well cared for and well
equipped.
