"MODERN GIRL," x CONTROVERSY. * ♦ , IS FEMININE REVOLT JUSTIFIED ? question for husbands. (By "Kim.") Civilisation is torn over tho question of "the modern girl. Her dross, her manners, and, above all, her attitude towards marriage and the home life, are agitating speakers and inspiring scribes without number. Nevertheless, there is one point of view which seems to have been overlooked in the general uproar—a point of view which should be taken into consideration by every husband and father. The modern girl (her age ranges from sixteen to thirtyfive, and she may be married 1 or single) is simply in a state of revolt. She is rebelling, quite rightly, not against housework and domesticity, but against drudgery and imprisonment. Can you blame her? She looks around and she sees some fellow's wife sweating her -life out in a washhouse which is mbre like a soap-smelling Turkish bath than anything elso on earth. She sees her sacrificing her youth, beauty, and energy—needlessly 1 Is it an alluring prospectP ' A Question for Husbands.' "Washing must be done; we know that. Laundries are either or Inaccessible. But has a man any right to subject his wife to a weekly ordeal which saps her vitality and brings premature old ageP Ask your mother. She, too, toiled away with an old-fashioned copper (before the Crompton's "Economic" Boilers were invented). You KNOW that pre-war sort of boiler (your own wife is probably the slave of one I); it hoats the washhouse to furnace heat inside ten minutes, and the cirl you married has to crouch down in a cruel temperature and continually feed the fiend with fuel because it takes an age to boil the water. You probably hear precious little about it: you're not there to_ see the work. "But IS it fair to your wife?
The Problem Solved. Crampton's "Economic" Boilers for Gas or Fuel are very moderate in price. They boil the water (without heating the washhouse) quickly and cheaply. The copper itself RETAINS heat for long periods—thus ensuring rigid economy of fuel. Tho "Economic" Boiler is for everybody. Can be installed in a few hours. It is going to save you money and trouble j it is going to preserve your wife's health and youth. You can hardly refuse it! The Gas Company, tho builder, or your nearest merchant will give you full details. Do not put the matter off. The name of boiler is Crompton's Crompton's, Ltd., of Tuam street, Ohristchurch. Better make a note—now. —flfi
