"The good men must have sound political philosophies, integrity and ability to get things done continuing domestic service haven't changed greatly since Mrs. Sherwood Anderson was here two years ago, but they have increased. A survey of the country shows that the girls are beginning to wonder if a return to housework may not be a wise provision against postwar unemployment This was among trends discussed by Mrs. Anderson, head the industrial staff of the national board of the Young Women's Christian Association, since ehe arrived here last week to confer with Mrs. Curtis S.

Al-bro, local president, and other leaders. "Girls are caught between the desire to see servicemen return to their old jobs and the desire to continue the use of the skills they have had to acquire," Mrs. Anderson said. "Last year I said 50 per cent of these girls hoped for homes of their own and marriage after the war.

IT'S THEIR PASSIOJT for speeches that makes me sigh. As a good feminist, I have high respect for women's clubs. They're important, and even Influential at times. But I'm sorry for club editors. I was one myself for four years during the last war.

The first year was thrilling, the second all right, the third distinctly choresome and the fourth "dear, kind, understanding editor, couldn't you please transfer me to another department?" It wasn't the women that wore me down, but the everlasting speeches. A speechless club meeting is unthinkable. If a speaker fails to keep a date, program chairmen are frantic. They'll accept any old substitute rather than forego two or three hours of patient listening, preferably to a male "inebriated with his own verbosity." CLUB EDITORS, of course, have to listen to far more speeches than club members. Oh, far more.

Yet they are expected to bubble with zest-ful enthusiasm and report every last one as "exceptional." A possible 2 per cent are quite good, so it's always a gamble. Most speakers shine better in other fields definitely. Amazing, too, that most clubs pay their speakers anywhere from $15 to $500 per oration. Those that can't afford to pay are apologetic. A lot of speakers I've heard should pay tbe club for listening, with a tip for applause.

SO IMAGINE my astonishment when I was invited to a Soroptimist3 meeting and told there'd bo "no speeches." The intelligent darlings! But, of course, they are all "career women." It was held at the Minnie Barton Home on a rainy evening, too, but the attendance was sumptuous. They not only had a swell dinner, but four hours of speechless fun and raised a nice, fat kitty for their war work into the bargain. Those gal3 paid for not having to listen, which makes sense. Plenty of husbands and boy friends there, too. In case of a shortage in this respect, some members impersonated males you should have seen Mrs.

Everyone was In a blithe mood, and two new grandmas, Anne Leidendecker (librarian) and Albine Norton (Mayor's secretary) were radiant, both sartorially and socially. Even the president, Margaret Pratt, who had suffered a severe sorrow the day before, managed to hide her tears. I think women's clubs ought to know that a apeechless meeting can be most satisfactory.
