NEW YORK.—Ten out of twelve
of the houses being built today
Provide. game rooms, a prominent
architect declares. He is not talk
ifig “solely about luxury homes, he
insists, but about moderate-priced
structures to be occupied by fam
ilies® with average incomes.
“The game room has come to
have a definite place in the Am
erican scheme,” he explains. “Es-
Ppecially is it important when
there are young people growing‘\
up in the house. The game roomi
gives them a place to which they |
may bring their friends and findz
equipment especially designed £r |
thqkind of amusement they like
best. Most important of all, since
the ideal game room generally is
isolated as much as possible from|
the rest of the house, the young |
folks can make all the noise theyl
please and nobody else will he dis
turbed.”
The ideal place for the game'
room, of jcourse, especially when
it must be inserted into a housei
that already has overtime use for
every room, is the cellar. Thel
col?_-webby, cluttered basement,
#iketnl only for holding the fur
nace and those intricate winding
Pipes that nobody even seems to
Khoty the use of anyway, is no
I:Q'flkér fashionable. t

The clever householder, con
templating the installation of a
game room, will interest not only
his young people but the sons and
daughters of his neighbors in the
project. Then, before he knows it,

.NEW YORK-—When the copy of'
“oOld Farm,” her first book, came
from the publishers, Ettie Stephens|
Prichard, who is sixty-s«ven.i
couldn't bear for a whole day to|
look at it or even touch it. l
. .There was the dearest wish of
her life fulfilled, a hovel actually
written and published, yet now |
that it was done, she suddently telt |
thaf nobody would ever buy itl
and that it probably was terrible
anyway. ‘
Finally at midnight, she nerved |
herself to pick the volume up. And |
from then until dawa, when she]
finished the last word, she laughed
®mnd cried by turns. l
.At the end: “Why, I've written
a.book,” she said to her daughter,!
Margaret, in a wondering tone,l
wiping her eyes.
.“Y¥ou see, 1 couldn't realize it
then and I can't even now,” she
explained, wistfully. “Of course, I
suppose I ought to begin to believe |
now; because after all, one big'
magazine did publish one series of/
short stories and is now doing ano

put my name right on the cover,

Mrs. Prichard began writing after
she reached her sixties. The truth
is that she has been writing all her

WHICH REALLY 1S THE
Ruder Sex?
By Olive Roberts Barton
Are women rude? Men seem to think so, particu
larly when they drive cars, ride in elevators, or travel
in street cars, buses and trains.
The indictment may be natural, for at first glance
these appear to be about the-only places where the
sexes at large may dispute rights.
Yet accident statistics seem to show that women
drivers meet with fewer accidents than men. Ac
knowledging that the woman driver is frequently
“unpredictable,”’ forgets to hold out her hand, makes
unexpected turns, and draws out from the curb with
out looking for approaching cars, the figures arc
there to show that her absent-mindedness or ‘‘rude
ness’’ have cost the coroner’s department less than
those of the men of her family.
There are, of course, many really women drivers.
It is no accident or absent-mindedness that plants a
woman in a car on the middle of the road for miles
with a string of cars and buses behind her blowing
their heads off to pass. .
As for elevators, she does seem to be at her worst
this same rude woman. She blocks doorways, el
bows her fellow passengers, and refuses to give an
inch. In the street car she won’t move over. In the
‘trains she turns over the empty seat for her chattels
‘and ca!mly reads while other weary people stand.
‘She accepts a bus seat without thanks and althogeth
!er earns for her sex the stigma of cheek and rudeness.
How About the Attitude
Of Men Toward Golf?
{ But we cannot let it go at
that. The subject of ears cannot
lbe_ dismissed so easily. We must
now introduce the male.
Who is that ‘“snakes” on the
road, sneaks up ahead at a light
and shoots through in front of
‘right of way traffic—who blows
you out of the way, or tries to, in
a jam? Who approaches a cross
ing of panicky walkers like a
“speed demon, to stop only in the
last five feet by standing” on the
brake Not women. But we'll let
Ithat pass because it could not be
classed as ‘“rudeness.” The coro
‘ner has a name for it. {
! If we want to keep on common
i ground—rudeness, we are speaking

#Rudness Seems a Matter
Of Opportunity, Largely
[ There is probably no place on
| earth where men’s rudeness to
| ward women shows up more than
is:‘. tha ealf courge or Gii the ten
nis court. Men want tennis courts
!when they. want them and it is
well-known that as a class they
' loathe mixed-doubles.
! Swimming? Who ioves the hor
| set tricks. the duckings. the un
‘derwafer upsets, the shoving off
. dotks and boats? This time the
irudeness is excused by them as
i “fun” and “teasing.” It matters
‘not that they cause real fright.
!The only ones who laugh are
l themselves.
i Now bridge. What more pitiful
gight than to see two futtéry la
dies sit down at table with two
'gtmge men. “How will ke take it
if I lose?” each is thinking. And
with a table for games and com
fortakle chairs for the players.
The game corner shown in the
accompanying illustration (right)
was deésigned by Russell Wright,
[who specilaizes in space-saving
furniture done on modern lines.
The chairs are walnut construc
tion below and are covered with a
plaid of brown and thin stripes
of lemon yellow. The table has a
quilted top and two nine-inch |
grounds for complaint. '
The very man who prides him
self as a traveling Chesterfield,
ecan and often does, become self
ish and rude to a degree.
| Invade what he calls his “golf
’ rights” and see what happens.
Nothing in the world is quite so
| smug and so sure of itself as the
{ male foursome.
‘Men give out that they pay for
the golf, and therefore have a
right to it. A man will pay equal

Government Effect on Family
Arousing Women’s Inteyest
i 1
|Mrs.: Wyeth Sees a New
! Political Era For
| Her Sex
! NEW YORK.—The past few
iyears will go down in history as
‘the period during which woman
ifox' the first time began assessing
;Lho action of government in terms
iof’ the effect upon her family and
‘the future of her children. That
i is the prediction of Mrs. George
!A. Wyeth, president of “the Wo
;men's National Republican club,
iWhO with other members of the
| elub, is sponsoring a nation-wide
| observance of Constitution Day
| on September 17.
' The date will mark the 147th
anniversary of the adoption of
our Constitution. |
; “It seems almost like a miracle,”
Isays Mrs. Wyeth, “that men at
| the end of the eighteenth century
could make such sound discover
ies of laws so fundamental that
they could frame a Constitution
]t,hat has endured to this day. Of
,course the secret is that the
framers of this all-important
’document were both students and
| practical men. They knew that
laws -of government and sound
economics are like the laws of the
physic«i nniverse — they exist,
| whether we know it or not, sand
our job is to discover and state
|them. ‘ ;
. “The reason the Constitution is
adequate today is that it has been
flexible enough so that it could be
| changed without too much trouble
lto meet cur enormously increased
Ipopulafion and our greatly com
plicated incustrial organization.”
’ Expert on Constitutions
| Mrs. Wyeth, incidentally, is an
expert on constitutions. She has
cared for government ever since
‘she was a little girl and has trav
elled abroad to study the laws of
other countries in order to com
pare them with our own. She
feels no other constitution ap
proaches ours in the opportuni
ties it allows to the mass of citi
zens.
“Under our Constitution, each
human being has a richer life than
is possible anywhere else in the
world,” she points out. “One rea
son for our pre-eminence in every
thing is the political freedom and
'educatio.n «f the masses which we
are guaranteed by that important
| paper drawn up and signed so
long ago by those far-sighted men
'who were influenced by no politi
cal motives, but only by humani-
’tarlan ones. .
! “I talked-to an American the
other day who has lived abroad
for the past decade. He .is back
now with his English wife and
his French-born son, and he was
saying that he cannot help notic
ing how much more harmonious
are £'l the details of daily living
| here than anywhere else.
| ‘What it takes, though, to keep
ithings as they have always been
(is a gfiprnment prevented by law
from interfering with the rights
'of the citizen. That is America’s
unique contribution to civiliza
tion. And it is what the women
of the country will fight forever
i to maintain.
l “Everybody knows that a mir
acle is necessary for a, boy of the
,humhler classes in Europe to get!
anywhere. But only look at the
self-made men success stories that
this country has to offer!”
Thousands Studying l
Mrs. Wyeth's belief that wo
men are taking a new and stirredl
interest in government is not
based upon wishful thinking butl
upon actual solid statistics. The
‘elub of which she is- vpmsident!
was dedicated to the service of
‘political education for Women
nearly fifteen years ago, and never
