By C XTi'.l Al' New- I. . :: Tlie question is: Is the w.nn.i.' engaged in a career which is "I in- mi. ; or is she a household di iuIko. -n .l.i , ; There are, to put it niildh. v. in I have before me as 1 wrile. Ih l two extremes. Anil alter i".n u ! them hut li carefully. I'm rimip'.-li ' ly contused. I don't lliink 1 1 i i 'I i ' be any definitive solution 1'ioni Hm-,; source, but I would like to pi. int." out that you can assert two wto ly separated opinions iroin u same given set of facts. First, let's peruse tin somely illustrated advertisement of a big concern selling Hour products to American homcmak ers. It's a salute and courtier's bow to the lady who says, "Oh, I'm just a housewife." This woman, it says here, combines the skills of 15 to 20 trades and professions; she's purchasing agent, nurse, spirit ual advisor seamstress, interior decorator, teacher. She also knows how to be a glamor girl and chef. Her job Is to keep the family well fed and healthy. Her ambition is to build good citizens and to make her family happy, . comfortable and proud of the way they live. And her pay, comments I he en thusiastic advertisement, is the thing she values most: I lie loving appreciation of her family. Now that sounds to me .is though being a housewife really and truly is the most wonderful, uplifting and enjoyable occupa tion a woman could engage in. But wail a minute. Here comes Edith M. Stern, a housewife her self, writing a piece called "Women Are Household Slaves.'' in the American Mercury. She starts out with an advertisement, labeled "Help Wanted ". "DOMESTIC: FEMALE. All cooking cleaning, laundering, sewing, meal planning, shop ping, weekday chauffeuring, so cial secretarial service, and com plete care of three children. Sal ary at employer's option. Time off if possible." I ('.'. i;v V liter v i . , . keeps house for her family " i . rl a it a woman can choose," bonds of matrimony? 1 points of view on the subject. i r,i" Mrs. Stern, describes situation, "in which "' i l women remain for love, but i m because they have no way ..:;. She thinks the average i : hi .-. wife leads a life which in tiuoi. passed out of existence wiili the Kniancipation Proclama- und-!1"'"- Mis. Stern admits keeping nouse is complicated, and that some of the chores involve brains. On the other hand, she avows, the most lime - consuming and recurring chores "can be capably handled by an eight-year-old child." She com pares this part of the routine with a corporation president who also sweeps up his plant and oils his machinery. Wages in this case "allowances" vary widely, she points out. The harder a woman is forced to work, the smaller, usually, are the re wards. She doesn't even get a vaca tion, but has to continue her dawn-to-night chores when the family goes away. She has no prospect for advancement. Joys of housewifery have been stressed largely by those who don't woik al it this is Mrs. Stern talk ing and (he reputed satisfaction i very woman gets ill making a home for her dear ones may be based in a popular notion that a woman who doesn't get that satis faction is not a "good woman." Her clincher is the argument thai while people fuss about a man getting into the type of work he does best, it is assumed that every woman is ideally suited to the role of housewife. As fa ras I can see, one argu ment is as valid as the other. Mrs. St,ein, however, doesn't offer any iioknion. So I will look on house wifery through the flour company's rose-colored glasses. We might as well think of prison as a pleasant place, if there's no way to break jail!
