Business Men’s Home Economy
Beaten in Domestic Sit-Down
By the Associated Press.
LARCHMONT, N. Y., April 15.—
Every morning when the 8:06 train
pulled out of Larchmont for New
Vork Samuel Sternefeld, who manu
factures corsets, got to talking with
a couple of other men about house
hold expenses.
What their wives and servants
needed to learn, they nodded, was ef
ficiency, and something should be
done about it. So they formed a home
conservation movement, sort of, and
invited a lot of other commuters to
Join, and everything was going along
dandy until Sternefeld got home last
night.
* Those morning rides were very pro
ductive.
‘Tt's like this,” expanded Morton J.
Adelson, a textile designer with a
pretty good-sized household of a wife
and children and servants. “Women
in the home do not have the same bus
iness intelligence as men exercise in
their offices, and something should be i
done.”
There were little things, such as
burning electric lights unnecessarily. ,
The more they talked, the more in
dignant they got, and Sternefeld was
elected president of the movement. A
lotof other men on the train were ■
approached, and they would say af
fably, big business men that they were
“Sure, count me in.”
Stemefeld swung off the evening
train last night and walked home,
and there everybody sat, Mrs. Steme
feld and the servants.
"Where’s dinner?” he asked, looking
at the domestic sit-down.
“Will you pay the bills without
question after this?” inquired Mrs.
Stemefeld.
On the 8:06 this morning Stemefeld
said he guessed he would have to re
sign the presidency on account of the
press of other business. The other
fellows said they guessed they were
going to be pretty busy, too.
The wives investigated but could not
find a membership list of the Home
Conservation Movement.
