WHY NOT SHOES?
.THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1917.
x . By ELEANOR GILBERT.
' I hate three kinds cf men.
First, the man who addresses a
young woman weighing about 180
pounds as "little girl." , ;
Second, the man who calls his wife
(probably 10 years his junior)
"mamma" in public.
Third, the man who refers to se
rious women as business "girls."
Come to think of it, I hate the wo
men who do it, too. And I hope that
every time you 1iear the phrase "busi
ness girls" you will squirm and pro
test vigorously. Because there's a
great difference between "business
girls" and "business women." More
over, we'll have no equality in busi
ness as long as we permit the phrase
"business girls" and do not retaliate
by calling men "business boys!"
When I hear the hated phrase,
ghosts of sob-sister bfurbs float
through' my mind "Advice to Business
Girls" what clothes they shall wear
as fits their lowly estate. "Why Men
Won't Marry Business Girls." "Shall
Business Girls Chew Gum?" And more
oi that. They build homes for busi
ness "girls" where the creatures are
Advice to Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Just Be Dignified.
D-ar Iit Fairfax: I am ?i and era
ployed by a manufacturing concern as of
fice manager, earning a salary of 35 per
vi enk.
Tho vice president of this concern Is a
widower (about 4a years old and has no
children). Ha is constantly telling mo that
I am the nicest young lady he ever met
and goes as far as telling me of his love
(but never mentions marriage to me).
As a rule I never pay any attention to
-rhat he Is saying, tiut .here of late my girls
'A ithe office hare noticed his, actions and
".'Ave come to me with tittle stories telling
tne ho7 much gossip Is going around the
office. ANXIOUS.
Just go or conducting yourself ' with
quiet dignity. ' Attend to- your work and
don't lay any stress on anything your em
ployer says. - You might even tell him that
you have discovered that the office force
is gossiping about you and that you feel
sure he will not want to "cause you to be
subjected to -criticism. When a man tells
" a girl that he loves her and does "not back
up that declaration with the genuine and
henest expression of a desire to have her
for his wife, the girl had better keep a
level head and' discount bia ardor and the
value thereof. Wer I : In your place I
should either make It impossible t or the
man to' drag his eemi-lovemaklng into of
fice hours or' tell 'him with quiet dignity
that lie was placing roe In a difficult posi
tion. Your own attitude may shame the
office out of Its foolish and unworthy gos
A Sense of Yalqes, .
Doar Miss Fairfax: I am-21, and on the
tage from sheer love of that profession.
This spring I niet a man, nonthcatrical, four
years, older than I. The summer brought
deep tove to us. He "wants me to become
his 'wife, but although I love him dearly I
feel that marriage would not make us hap
py. , He could not be happy with a wife In
ray profession, as" he is a man who wants
his wife In his home and I know I could
not be happy were I to give up the stage.
What do you advise us to do?
A MISERABLE GIRL.
All I can do Is advise you to make up
your mfnd what you really want in this
world, and how much you will sacrifice to
have It. None of us can have everything,
and the happy people are those who have
a real sense of values, and who, knowing
Vihat they prize, make an honest effort, to
get it. On the one hand, love Is offered
you. On the jther hahd, there Is a .profes
sion which also requires sacrifice, effort,
diplomacy, and which Is filled with disap
pointments. Balance your life on the stage,
your faith In your own ability to succeed,
(gainst your love of a man and your faith
in your own ability to make marriage a
success. Which will you choose? '
Yon Mnst Decide.
Dear Miss Fairfax - X am 21 and deeply
in love with a man who Is a widower, and
has three children. Now these three chil
dren are t. IS and 20. so you will see- the
oldest Is Vlmost my. age.. .They object toj
their father's marrying me on account, of j
my youui, uui as in luvrn mep aim 1 luvo
him, do. you think I ought to brave their
displeasure and marry, him Just the same?
I hope you will answer , "yes," but I. will
follow whatever advice you mays give me.
. - .. CLARA.
What will be your attitude toward tftls
man's children: If you married their father?
Are you going to estrangs him from, them,
or will you try to win them,, to keep the
household together and to take a responsi
ble interest tn them' and to mother, the
youngest? Are you Just thinking of this
: marriage in terms of-your own emotions
and selfish desire? Are you Imagining that
you must nave this man's love In order to be
happy? Or are you seriously willing to be
a helpmate and: to Justify yourself for dis
regarding the natural fears and i.rejudlces
of his-children? Think It over. Make a
fair decision. I cannot look Into your heart
and hie, and. above all, I cannot guarantee
the outcome of any situation,, you know. .

housed, censored and properly ironed
out. They're light-headed things, you
know, with nothing more on their
mind but clothes, candy and young
men. "Only a Business Girl." Poor
thing! Ah well, she' just a girl and
when she gets old enough to drop the
girl she may drop the business, too.
She's only in business until she can
be a married woman, for of course,
nobody 6peaks of the "married girl."
And as she has only one eye on her
job and the other on matrimony, let's
hope business gets riu of her quick!
But the buseness woman is an in
dividuality. She's serious about busi
ness. She has her mind glued to her
work for at least eight hours a day,
and when the job requires it, for all
of the 24. She's able to buy a Liberty
bond or two without suddenly ab
breviating her meals or changing her
living quarters. She likes men, but
she doesn't squander her income on
cheap fripperies to attract the cheap
kind, and when she marries it's for
some higher consideration than a
meal ticket!
The business woman is an adult
with a mind. Don't let anybody call
her a "business girl."

Women Must Do
Work for Which
' They Are Fitted
Washington, Dec. 13. "Women
should do the war work for which
they are best fitted. It is useless for
women to be knitting stockings if
they make better clerks or nurses.
War work directors should avoid put
ting Square pegs in round holes.
Elimination of waste in human force
is vital to efficiency and the ultimate
winning of the war, and it is my opin
ion that women will have to be reg
istered and classified in accordance
with their ability if they are to render
their full worth in war work."
This statement was made by Mrs.
Frances C. Axtell, member of the
United States Employes' Compensa
tion commission, the only woman
ever named by any president for such
a federal commission. This commis
sion was recently created in the inter
est of economy and efficiency to both
the government and to those who
serve it. It is the outcome of the
congressional enactment of last year
which provides "compensation for em
ployes of the United States suffering
injuries while in the performance of
their duties, and for other purposes."
Womin at Arsenals.
In a report to the women in in
dustry committee, by Mrs. Axtell, she
suggested that women might do much
of the work performed by men at the
arsenals. She suggests that they
might make and inspect the govern
ment uniforms and thus release men
engaged in manufacturing them. She
believes that they might also make
the rope and twine used, and be relied
upon for most -of the small arms
which are made at the arsenals.
Mrs. Axtell sees no limit to woman's
ability in any of the suggested
spheres, and her opinion is given
after keen, careful study of the situa
tion from many angles.
"The hazards among the women
who are replacing the men in war
work will be greater than ever be
fore," said Mrs. Axteli, "and it is
most important that women be pre
pared to do their part. The great
problem today is the co-operation of
business and government."
