INCREASING CONSIDERATION
' FOR WOMEN WHO WORK
. r' 1
! i
THE W. C MUNN COMPANT In establishing rest room
for IU woman empolyes Is supplying one of the greatest
needs In the life of the busy workaday woman.
"The world wa never made for worklngwomen." sigher a
tired little" creature who toils. "Men seem to have a sort of
monopoly on creature comforts." and aha voiced the un-
spoken yet keenly felt opinion of many of her sister women
far and wide.
Tbere are always place where men may lounge rest and
be comfy yet frail womankind must toll and toll with com-
Iratlvly small provision for her comfort and happiness.
The 'world WASN'T made for worklngwomen It was made
frinclpiklly for WORKJNdMEN AND HOME WOMEN but
the trend of the times has brought about a mighty rhangt.
and today thousands of girls and women are forced to leave the quiet shelter of
home life and shoulder to shoulder with their coworkers the men wrest a llvell-
I ty 7 hood by their business labors.
' . . :.;nw nuimtH hv htm taken heretofore to afford them any
TJ 9U euvu 'u"u"J .
degre of comfort and consideration though ever so often now one hears of some
5 business concern or Individual establishing a place for women employes to rest
'When necessary.
t ' It to a movement that Is bound to grow the years go by for the splendid
I precedent established by those whose hearts are not entirely buried beenath their
Creed for commercial gain will be followed by others until women will be accorded
' the kindness and consideration that Is given their brother workers and which by
very law of right and fairness should be theirs.
' -1 Every business establishment of any slse and every office building housing
enough women workers to make It necessary should establish a rest room ror
-women and sooner or later this will be done.
' It require time to bring the people to the realisation of such needs as this.
'"Women have not been always In the downtown busy world and it Is Just beginning
to dawn upbn the thoughtless ones that something besides a bit of a pay envelope
Is due her.
The place for woman Is unquestionably In the home there Is no role that so
V becomes her ha that of the gentle head of a lovely home and every woman deep In
V her heart knows it but conditions over which men and women seem to have no
f Control have made It Imperative that girls and women Join the ranks of the wage
' . earners and the least that can be done for them is to give them as much considera-
tion as is accorded men. The day Is fast coming when women are going to be paid
. their real worth regardless of sex. In fsct there are many women today earning
salaries which are exactly what a man would be paid who held the same position
which is the fair thing. And sooner or later there will be no double-wage standards
work will be paid for absolutely upon Its value.
V The establishment of rest rooms is something very much needed and It is keenly
. gratifying to men and women interested in the betterment of conditions for women
i i whenever it is done. It will mean much to the busy women who are fortunate
. ' enough to have the privileges of it and It Is hoped that following the worthy
xample of the W. C. Munn Company there will soon be many similar places opened
I in our Houstontown.
. f'-. More gratifying however than the material fact of the establishment of this
rest room is the feeling that each and every movement of this sort presages the
dawning of the day when women will stand on equal terms with men in the matter
' ex salary and consideration and women
Who are so fortnnate as to be spending
their lives In the blessed comfort of home
life should rejoice through' sheer kindli-
ness of heart and sympathy for their sis-
'! tera who toll.

FOR BEDTIME
Grumpy Gets Into Mischief and Is Happy
I i -' j
By THORNTON W. BURGESS."
(Copyright. Mil by J. O. Lloyd.)
It Is so very easy with nothing els to do.
To (tumble Into mischief. Alas that It Is true!
I
Hugged the Egg to
With All Four Feet.:
T IS TRUE. On of the trueit
thing ot which I know. Havent
you found it ot People with
something to do seldom get into mis-
chief. It is thoBe who haven't any-
thing In particular to do that do the
things they shouldn't. Sometimes
they know .when they ars in mischief
and sometimes they don't It was
that way with Grumpy Possum. He
got into mischief without knowing it
Perhaps it wouldn't have made any dif-
ference if he had known. I suspect
that it wouldn't Ton see U was this
way:
He sat for a long long time in the
tree in whlchhe had hidden from
Farmer Brown's boy. He saw Farmer
Brown's boy go into the house -He
watched Bowser the Hound stretch himself out on the ground and go to sleep.
Looking .down into their pen he saw his brothers Bumpy and Frumpy disap-
pear one in the hollow tree and the other in the little house. He knew that
they too were going to tafte a nap. He dtdn't feel sleepy himself not a bit.
He was too excited. Pretty soon all was quiet around Farmer Bftwn's door-
yard. Black Pussy was curled up on the doorstep and she was asleep too.
Even the b'ddies in the henyard were lasily taking sunbaths. t was sunny
and hot' and oh so stilL
Suddenly the stillness was broken by a great noise in the henhouse. It was
one of those silly birds making a great fuss about something. "Cut-cut-cut-cuda
cut!" she cried and kept repeating it over and over. All her neighbors
knew what that meant and were not at all interested. She was Just bragging
because she had laid an egg. But Grumpy didn't know anything about hens
or their eggs. "I wonder what all that fuss is about" thought he. "Now is a
good time to run over there and find out Nobody Is about and the way is
clear."
So very quietly he slipped down from the tree and darted across to the
"henhouse. There was a little door through which the hens went in and out
Grumpy slipped through and stared about him. It was darker in there than
outside and for a minute or two he could see little. Then his eyes grew ac-
customed ta the dim light He saw row after row of boxlike places and in
each was some hay.; It was before one of these that the hen was making such
a racket. Somehow she looked very proud. Grumpy wondered why. In a
few minutes she flew down to the floor. This frightened Grumpy and he ran
to hide behind a box.
The hen paid no attention to him but with her head held very high marched
out to Join her companions taking a dustbath in the yard. Grumpy watched
her disappear. TBen he climbed up to the box from which she had flown
down. Inside was something big and smooth and brown and warm. He didn't
know what it was but you do. Of course it was a newly laid egg. He felt of
It Then he tried his teeth on it They were sharp and went right through
one end. Something wet ran out of the hole .he had made. Grumpy tasted it
Then he smacked his lips. Never he thought had he tasted angthing more
delicious. He lay right down in the nest hugged the egg to him with
his four legs and sucked the shell of that egg empty.
The egg filled his little stomach. He wanted another but he hadn't room
for it. He poked his nose into another nest and found another egg. Then he
creps in and laid down beside it He was beginning to feel sleepy. He would
take a nap and when he awoke be would have another feast He was in
mischief but he didn't know it Grumpy was perfectly happy.

prices their seasonable products' their specialties and
service through the columns of the WOMAN'S
PAPER of HoustonTHE POST.
You can save money Mrs. Hdusewife by making
THE POST your market guide and encouraging by
your trade the merchants who are co-operating in
your efforts to bring about conditions in the FOOD
MARKET that have long been established' in
othar lines.

' Let these merchants know you appreciate their
co-operation in bringing about these conditions and
better still make every penny count in making your
purchases for the coming week.

Household Affairs
By Mary Lee.
'I am convinced that the providing ot
adequate meat substitutes Is going to be
an Increasingly pressing problem to ua
menu manufacturers as time goes on"
says Mrs. Happy Homemaker.
"According to the melancholy tales of
the packers the time Is not far distant
when we will be contemplating the extinct
cow exhibited behind the glass cases of
museums and echoing the sentiment of
the old man viewing the giraffe 'ain't no
such animal!'
'So let us not delay .until the davs of
famine are upon us but begin now to
prepare for them.
'There is no logical reason why we
should not have two or even three fish
days a week.
The composition and nutritive value of
fish foods compare well with those of
meat and now that the scientific methods
employed In packing the fresh fish In re
frigerated cars nave been brought to such
perfection even the middle States may
enjoy a continuous supply of fresh sea
food.
'In selecting fish remember to sea If
the flesh feels firm and the eyes are
bright.
"In one of the bulletins Issued br the
department of agriculture there are 44
dirforent sorts or tlsh listed so there ta
no danger of suffering from lack of
variety.
"The methods of cooking fish are many.
Ever try steamed fresh codfish with egg
sauce? It Is delicious..
'Get a thick cod steak welshing two
and one-half pounds wash rub with salt.
put in a rather small round pan so that
the fish holds ita shape and steam SO
minutes. .
"Take three tablespoonfuls . of butter
three tablespoonfuls of flour cream to-
gether and add two cups of milk one
teaspoonful of salt; make Just like any
whit sauce; Just before taking from the
fire add two eggs beaten well and then
stir until thick: Just before serving add
the juice of half a lemon.
"This sauce may be used for any
steamed or boiled fish and it Is also de-
licious with asparagus and what I call
hot vegetable salad. Sometimes there are
beans carrots a few peas and. a potato
of two leftifrom dinner. 'I -
' "For luncheon the next' day heat them
up and sesre with this egg sauce and aee
if every one does not ask for more.
"Left over fish may be creamed or
scalloped with breadcrumbs. For the lat-
ter butter a shallow dish and line with
breadcrumbs; put In a layer of fish cover
with cream sauce; then another layer-
crumbs fish sauce and keep on until
the dish is full having the top layer on
of crumbs; place In a hot oven and leave
until the crumb are a ricn Drown. .

ffy'LXi WAGER my silver mesh bag that you don't remember me at all" laugh -I
lngly remarked a plump pink-cheeked 'and happy-eyed small person who
stood' beside me at the notion counter In the dry goods shop.
"Gimme the bag" I commanded. "I remember you very well though I never
saw you looking so fat and contented before. What have you been doing with
yourself In the two years since I saw you?"
"Getting married" she gurgled. 'I've got the biggest leanest lankiest home
liest dearest old bear of a husband that ever happened. He's "
"Guess you haven't been married very Jong" I observed.
"Oh but I have a year and a half. But you should have seen m when I was
married" she suddenly became very serious. "I was Just a worried shadow.
"I don't know if other engaged girls have the same experience I had. but if I
was to do it over again I'd keep my engagement a deep dark secret and not
breathe a word of It even to my family until the very day before our marriage.
"Absolutely one's family and friends haven't the slightest consideration for an
engaged girl's feelings.
'1 was terribly in love with Frank but I almost broke the engagement Just
because of the mean little things people said and did the very people that
ought to have been kindest to us too. .
"Of course the first few days everybody said it was lovely and what a nice man
Prank was. Then mother wanted to know when I was going to get my engage-
ment ring. I told her I didn't know and sho said Frank must be a pretty cheap .
sort if he wasn't going to give me a decent engagement ring. Well that hurt some
you know.
"Really I didn't care a snap whether I had an engagement ring or not. I had
Frank which was plenty. But mother began hinting about engagement rings when
he was around and finally one day he asked me If I cared for one. I told him I
really didn't but that everybody seemed to think It a disgrace that I wasn't prop-
erly tagged. He said If that waa the case he guessed I'd better have one and I
told him for heaven's sake not to waste any money on It but to get me a simple
pretty little thing with my blrthstone in 4t.
"Now my blrthstone Is a garnet which Is a cheap stone but we both like the
sentiment and he had the ring made" specially for me. But you should have heard
the girls snicker when they saw it. I could hear them thinking "cheap skate!'
"Then my brother began to criticise Frank' taste in ties and to mlmio some of
his little peculiarities. My best girl friend got snippy and hinted around that it was
too bad I couldn't live In the style to which I was accustomed after I had married.
And my stater she's older than 1 and never could get a beau called Frank 'that
fellow' and openly remarked that he was my last chance and I took what I could
get and she didn't see why I alwsys took up with such common people. - ; ' '
"Both mother and father liked Frank real well before I was engaged to him
but after a while they began to find all sorts of fault with him. My mother said a
man with his shaped head wouldn't turn out any good and she was always snowing
me pictures of criminals In the newspapers that she said looked like him. Father
warned me that he wouldn't support us when Frank got but of a Job andi hoped
I wouldn't have a lot of children right away to be a burden to the family.
"Believe me they had me going. I waa a nervous wreck and if poor Frank
hadn't been the best natured fellow In the world he wouldn't have stood soma ot
my moods. I cried all night before my wedding and began' our married life with a
horrible headache.
"But I've been happy oh so happy aver sine. My husband suit m ut as
he Is even if he Isn't out after the pattern my family would like. And th funny
thing Is" she laughed heartily "that my folks ssvear by Frank now!"
