Z Why in the great economist scheme mother is not considered a con-
J tributor to the upkeep of the home is a question that is hard to
have answered by any' of the other members of the family. We
are putting it before the council today. That includes the important
discussion of the need of a vacation for the housekeeper.
Ira Cogswell Bailey-Allen is here with a word'for.the housekeeper and
several arguments for her vacation. If you are a housekeeper, read it,
and then read it to your family. If you are not, read it just the same.
You may be one some day, and you certainly ought to have the other side
of any story that intimately concerns the home. ;
We gladly give to you this discussion of a topis that has been too long
ihelved. Let us hear your opinions.

standing in the doorway she
knew what to expect. She bad
lived with him for thirty years and
had seen that look with each succeed

first warm days, and although she did
not aay a word, she knew that a fish
I "Daughter travels through
. .Europe"
Ing trip was Imminent. Then, too, he
had come home early another Infal
lible sign. Soon she heard him tramp
ing around in the attia and before
long he called down the stairway:
"Mother, say, do you know where I
put my flies last year? I can't find
5 them anywhere."
-N She dropped Mary's new dress which
( she was Just finishing and climbed the
steep stairs. "I think they're In this
drawer," she said. "The rods are here,
and your rubber boots are In that cor
ner. Here's the fishing basket, and your
clothes are in this trunk."
"Mother, you're a mind reader; how'd
you know I was thinking of going
fishing?"
' Mother smiled, but did not answer.
?'Tou need a vacation, John," she said;
"can't you arrange to leave for a week
and go up in the hills? I'll see to any
Important correspondence for you."
"Why, yes. I mights"
"You'll eo tomorrow," she said,
Anally. 'Til help you to get ready."
Midnight found mother packing the
grips, and 6 o'clock saw her smiling as
usual, preparing father's early break
fast. A she kissed Mm good by the
thought flashed thspugh her mind, how
different that first spring had been
when they had gone together. Then
the babies began t to come and, of
eourse, she had to stay at home; and
now they were grown up she was too
old to go. Of course, sh was too old
and too fat to get around very well
wasn't her waistband thirty inches?
Vf Nevertheless, the smell of the pine
.woods haunted her as she wistfully
started to houseclean. rather hated It,
so she would hurry to get it done be-
sore ne reiurnea.
After the house was cleaned It was
time to finish the summer sewing.
Mother was tired, to be sure, but Mary
had planned ' a round of visits and
would need her clothes as soon as
school was ilnished. Tha last of the
year brought so many "good times"
and so much extra study that Mary
didn't have a moment to help not even
to wipe the dishes or pull bastings
and she was "so tired" that mother
let her sleep late every Saturday. "I
don't feel very well," mother said to
herself, "but I'll get through all right."
The two or three days before Mary
finally got off were "nightmares." for at
the last minute Mary decided she need
ed another dress; there were washing
and ironing to do, and gloves and shoes
to clean, to say nothing of packing
and so the housework had "to go."
Mother smiled with pride at her love
ly young daughter. But after waving
a last goodby she turned to the house -with
a wan look.r She was worn out.
completely, but would not admit it.
Selors the house had been put to
i rights and the mending caught up,
' Harry and Jim, the high school boys,
began to think of camping, and by the
fiTBt of July had found a "bully place"
in the north woods, only a few miles
away. They planned to stay a month,
coming home once a -week for provl
, slons, and some of mother's cooking.
-. The tent had to be patched, bedding
.' made ready, old clothes hunted up afd
mended, to aay nothing of getting to-
gather the provisions and equipment.
The boys helped, to be sure; they made
. .out lists and planned, but it was moth
er's keen mind that thought of forgot
ten articles, packed the -nrst-aid-to-the-Injuredtbox
and forestalled difficulties.
While this - was going on a girlhood
friend happened to be visiting in the
town. Mother had time to call only
once. As she started home she said to
herself, "How well and young1 Molly
look. I wish I (know her secret and
how she can get away; tout them 2 don't
mind as Ions; as everybody has a food
time."
" It seemed so strange to hare J art two
at the table. For several meals moth
er forgot, and out a great plateful of
bread, and ordered too much meat. "It's
a good time to preserve; and make the
jelly," she said; so the long sunny days
were spent over the hot stove the hours
of possible rest and recreation were
bottled up in cans of peaches and pears
against the coming winter and mother
grew more and more weary. When she
bad time to rest habit drove her on.
, i . Wh
"The children leave for sunny
fields"
The end of the summer found the doc
tor, grave faced, beside her bed all
becauseher family took her for granted.
A wife and mother who does her own
housework and who has at most only
one helper is hedged by her family
bound on the north by her husband, on
the east by her children and on the
south by the household. All the little
rifts of outside matters that come to
gether trickle through these cardinal
points In what the members of the fam
ily bring her; by the church (which she
cannot find time to attend as much as
she wishes) and by the few magazines
and papers she occasionally finds a
moment to read. As a general rule,
mother is really a progressive woman,
but it doesn't take long for actual rou
tine work to sap her sest in outside
matters; it's very easy to neglect the
piano when there are the stockings to
mend; very easy to lapse from reading
when one is so sleepy after wakeful
nights with the children that the great
est of boons is a nap; and when one's
free time is spent in trips to market or
to the stores in the search for some
- articl or other that ls cheap. In spite
of love, life is liable to look a little sor
did to any woman.
tAnd when sordidity comes in at the
door, youth flies out of the window. It
takes some time for this to be accom
iplished, but it usually reaches a climax
when the children are about high-school
age; they are beyond "little babyhood";
and, theoretically, mother ought to have
more leisure than in years; but, in
reality, she has less! First, there" is
more cooking to do athletic sons eat
an unbelievable amount, and any
mother will cook to please her men
folks! Then the girls need, more
clothes, more little things, such as belts,
collars and the like, that cost so much
when purchased ready-made that there '
is nothing to do but for mother to make
them. There is more company, too,, and
that means' dishes and housework ; and
as for the girls, they really helped more
when they were 10, for iigb school keeps
them away most of the time.
But the worst of it is that the family
not only selfishly accepts this service,
but takes it for granted as well that
mother ls old. To be sure, she usually
wears a black suit and hat because it
Is unobtrusive and stays in style longesl
She frequently wears silk gloves she
says because they are cooler, but, In re
ality, because they are cheap. The girls
wjear white kid. She sticks to brown
and blue bouse dresses to "save washing-";
the girls wear the daintiest of
colors. In short, her whole wardrobe is
selected in the spirit of -sacrifice; and,
although she really loves the more
beautiful colors suited to her age, she
Stifles the desire. The process of mother
growing old, then, does not commence
. within her. but from without in her
clothes. And there's no .better way to
commence to get old than to begin to
look- that way. ,
Who suggests that mother's spring
hat be croft green, thather new foulard
be in one of the dahlia shades; or. in
fact, that she have
anything now at
all? The, boys talk
of their socks, ties,
shoes, etc., the
girls of the latest
ekirta even father
appears with a
new suit and hat;
but mother con
tinues to look
nloe-; In her
three - year - old
dress! And there's
nothing mo con
ducive to e e 1 f
ellmlnatlon as ef
: facing clothes.
Mother has
grown so used to
staying at home
when the children
were little that '
the habit has .been formed so
strongly she scarcely admits to herself
that efoo would like to go anywhere; so
she stays In and does up the dishes
while the girls go to the festival con-
cert and the boys rush oflj to the debate.
The children say mother loves to bo
quiet and doesn't care to "go." Who
tries to help her break the chain of
habit that holds her down as strongly
as iron links? Nobody thinks of It.
She is the most important member of
the household. Her work la unceasing;
her sympathy Is limitless; she Is a tre
mendous factor In the world; eh de
serves all that is good, youthful and up
lifting, because her Influence is the most
potent In the home yet she ts seldom
reckoned In.
By the time mother Is 60 It is almost
Impossible to start her "off," she has
become so steeped In home. And here
it is not amiss to sacra word to mother.
Tou often eay to yourself that nobody
cares what you do or bow you look.
Can't you see the little tentative at
tempts to draw you out? Didn't you
hear Jimmy aay that he wished you
were like Frank's mother, who was a
corking chaperon and wore such, pretty
clothes? You answered that Mrs.
Thomas neglected her home to go, and
that you'd be ashamed to have such a
looking parlor she put all her money on
her back. Jimmy didn't answer, and
your heart ached to be "a corking chap
eron and wear good clothes." When
anything of this sort occurs, mother,
it's time to choose. And whether or not
you follow up the little lifeline your son
is holding out is your own affair. If
the girls have callers, what do you do,
make yourself 'entertaining and agree
able, or refuse to see them? Did yon
ever ask your girls' advice about your
clothes? Do you ever let them see what
you're doing to them In such way that
they will do something for you? In
other words, are you conducting your
household on the basis' of reciprocity?

If not, isn't a little of the condition
your own fault? There's mottling so
m
hard to move as a mother who is so
saturated to home that she has no en
ergy left for anything else.
Any good business man knows that
he cannot do everything himself and
soon learns not only to trust his sub
ordinates, but to rely upon them to do
certain portions of the work. A wise
mother will train her family in the
same way, beginning in early childhood
to inculcate habitual dally tasks. Both,
boys and girls should be taught to cook,
as well, making: mother's occasional ab
sence from the home possible.
When the members of the Brown fam
ily saw mother lying in bed, sick for the
first time since they could remember,
they began to think. Father looked
back conscience-stricken on his fishing
trip he hadn't thought of asking her to
go. Mary cried for two days as she
thought of the many nights mother had
sat up and sewed before she started off
with her pretty wardrobe on the round
of visdts.' The boys said that "iMother
had been tired out all summer, and
they'd let her cook all that tuf for
camp brutes that they were" They
all decided to "do" better, but it was
Marywho iftnally thought of the plan.
One evening" she" corralled the boys and
father In the sitting room.
"The doctor says that mother must
have a vacation," she said, "but she
won't go, because she doesn't see how
we will get along alone. It's no use to
tell her that we can manage, she Just
won't gob; so the only way to make her
is to get a housekeeper to do the work
while she's away. .Nftw i know we" think
we can't afford it; but here's my con
tribution to the fund," and she laid
three 5 gold pieces on the table. "My
birthday present from Aunt Jane, she
added. The boys , disappeared, coming
back in a moment. "Here are our new
olf clubs," they said, depositing 5
apiece on the table, explaining, "That's

Six of the precious dollars Mary spent
for a seamstresa Mother had plenty
of material in the house to be made up,
so a dress and waist were easy. Four

out; and, together with dainty little
things borrowed from the girl's ward
robe, they made mother look years
younger. A new way of fixing her hair;
a little encouragement about curling

Mary didn't realize it, but she was giv

the whole family to get her off. but at
last it was done, and mother was well
on the road to health. a
The month was nearly up, and mother
expected home on Tuesday, when Mary,
now so sweet and womanly, again
called the family In council.
"A vacation IS all right," she said,
"but it doesn't count for much if you
have to work twice as hard when you

Once trained in the vacation habit, a

HE attractiveness of fruit dishes is
