The successful housekeeper--tha' is, the good housekeeper -- is she who looks upon her work as a pro- iesslon. For, after all, housekeep- ing is the field for a career, just as the business world or the profes- sional world. Not long ago I listened to a group of business girls talking about their work, "Whenever I see a woman who has climbed 'higher up' in the business world, I know what she has been through'" declared one of the girls. "So do 1!" agreed anoth- er vehemently, "I know she's been through a lot of petty irritations and jealousies shown her by the people the hag passed on the road advance- ment. It takes courage to shrug off the criticisms and little slights of our co-workers. But that's what earning one' living means; being scared by an unsympathetic world." As I listened to this bit of philose- phy, I found myself thinking how similar a housekeeper's career is to a business woman's. She meets with the same criticisms and little slights--but from her neighbors in- stead of office workers. She has to learn the lesson of shrugging off these irritations, if she would sys- tematize her own household to suit herself--thereby advancing herself to a 'higher up' place in the house- keeping profession, frocks which have as much dignity and formality as one may hope to find at a children's party. Georgette party frocks show a pleasihg array of pastel shades which necessarily follow the more slender outline. Flaring tiers, side drapings and tiers are sponsored, Flowers lend a dainty touch, combing colorful rib. bons with silver cloth. Fine laces form bertha collars and sleeves, in addition to edging side drapes. It is customary for designers of junior models to take their cue from models approved for grown-ups. That belng the case, one must be prepared for the entrance of the sports influ. ence in youngsters clothes. The lit- tle frock sketched has something of the severity peculiar to the boyish sports-frock, subscribed to just now. It has the identical lines in minia~ ture of many a frock now ordered for resort wear, and there is not much difference in fabric, a novelty crepe print being used with organdie collars and cuffs, .Jed a letter from her full of an in-| I will Hlustrate this point from a true littie incident: I kmow of a bride living dat a distaace from me.

"My hashand end i| can put by quite a little money if 1} learn to do the weekly wash myseli, with the machine--instead of hiring a laundress," she wrote. But noi dong afterwards I received another letter from here. The tome of thi. was different: "I've decided agains. buying the washing machine," she| told me. "My neighbors were al scandalized when 1 told them I was considering it. They! seemed to think I couldn't possibly do the wash myself, None of them do their own wash" Of course I wrote this - little housekeeper and advised her by all medns to go ahead with her origin- al plan to buy the machine. 1 pointed out to her that her neigh- bors' advice sprang from a sort of jealousy--or at least from a daisap- proval rooted in the fact that none of them had 'the courage to do their own washing. "Be independent and scheme as hard as you can to cut down expense," I told her. "The more money-saving and laborsav- ing practises you adopt, the better housekeeper you'll become. And, incidentally, the more interest you will have in your work." _ But she would 'not reconsider the scheme. She hadn't the courage to advance herself in her profession, in spite of the little scar she would receive in so doing. ¢ All inquiries addressed to Miss Kirkman in cars of the "Efficient Housekeping" department will be Sens. snswered in these columns if thelr || tarn.
