We, The Women
By KI TH MILLKTT
NEA Staff Writer
Here are some of the differ-
ences between a "perfect house-
keeper" and a "good home-
maker:"
On an especially beautiful day
the perfect housekeeper decides
it is a perfect day to hang out all
the winter woolens or clean the
basement. The good homeniaker
decides to hurry through her
work and take the kids to the
park.
When the children bring home
friends from school the perfect
housekeeper starts right in with
a list of do's and dont's, the most
important of which is "You can't
let all those children in the
house!" The good homemaker
accepts the children in a friend-
ly way, hunts up something for
them to eat, and doesn't worry
about- crumbs.
KINO TO PAPA
When Papa puts his feet on
the davenport the perfect house-
keeper asks him to take his
shoes off or put a paper under
his feet. The good homemaker
leaves him alone.
When a repair or odd job
needs to be done the perfect
housekeeper decides it has to
lie done at once, whether the
man of the house is in the mood
to do it or not. The good home-
maker realizes it isn't a life-or-
death matter and lets him choose
his time for doing it.
The perfect housekeeper can't
relax if there is anything out of
place. The good homemaker can.
The perfect housekeeper en-
joys few spur-of-the moment
pleasures. The good homemaker
can usually change her schedule
to join in a last-minute plan.

international problems. Just

problems depends greatly upon
