 prosperous sections of Zenith, especially in the "young married set,"
there were many women who had nothing to do. Though they had few
servants, yet with gas stoves, electric ranges and dish-washers and
vacuum cleaners, and tiled kitchen walls, their houses were so
convenient that they had little housework, and much of their food came
from bakeries and delicatessens. They had but two, one, or no children;
and despite the myth that the Great War had made work respectable, their
husbands objected to their "wasting time and getting a lot of crank

peeped at her shoulders. "That's all right now," said Swanson. "I'm
authority enough so I know it was a waste of money, and it makes me
tired to see you not wearing out a whole closetful of clothes you got
already. I've expressed my idea about this before, and you know good and
