WomenToday
(Bt Auocialcd Prut)
Women who think they have
household problems will not envy
Helen Groth of Chicago when
they hear about her job. Helen
is assistant commissary store-
keeper in the Baltimore and Ohio’s
Chicago office. And that means
that she does housekeeping on the
railroad.
She says that it’s lots of fun,
*flth its many and interesting
variations. Although her duties
do not require her to order food
or plan menus, she is interested
in this phase of the dining car
department.
Helen is young, pretty and un-
spoiled. She has brown hair and
large brown eyes and a* smile
that reveals two cute dimples
when she smiles, which is often.
Helen is a tiny girl, standing a
mere five feet two and weighing
about one hundred pounds. As
one of her bosses put it, “Helen
Groth is a little girl with a big
responsibility."
During the war’s emergency,
when men were being called into
service and their jobs were be-
ing filled by women, Helen was
busier than ever. At that time
she was working as secretary to
the man who was assictant su-
perintendent of the commissary
in Chicago. It was the first time
a woman had ever been employ-
ed in the Chicago dining car de-
partment. But Helen did an out-
standing job. Her ability to han-
dle various emergencies and dif-
ficult situations as they arose has
been recognized, too, resulting in
her present job.
Helen was born in Flanagan,
Illinois. Her father was a Luther-
an minister and her mother was
the daughter of a Lutheran min-
ister. Helen says there has been
a steady line of pastors on her
father’s side of the family dating
back to the time of the Lutheran
reformation in Germany. When
Helen was three years old, the
family moved to Milwaukee, Wia.,
where Helen's father was chap-
lain at the Deaconess' Hospital.
Three years later the little fam-
ily moved to Chicago, when Hel-
en’s father accepted the pastor-
ate of St Stevens Evangelical
Lutheran church. He served there
until his death two years ago.
Helen has also been active in
church work. Since the is an ac-
complished musician, she substi-
tutes when the organist is ill or
on vacation.
The capable young woman is
a business college graduate. She
says that it’s really hard to de-
scribe her duties because they
are so varied. They include tak-
ing applications and interviewing
cook*, waiters and dishwashers
for employment. Then she fol-
lows up their work during a stu-
dent period of a week after they
have been hired.
Helen also helps her boss as-
sign help to all dining cart. She
explains that assigning crews Isn’t
as simple as one would believe.
It requires much thought and con-
sideration. Calling in to the com-
missary the dining car requisi-
tions is another one of her du-
ties. Dining car laundry has to
be accounted for —which means
that Helen has to keep a constant
record of tablecloths, napkins and
other linens. The versaile little
lady also acta as a receptionist,
and perform any special tasks
that may develop.
“My work’s a lot of fun and I
love every minute of it,” she says,
"but I wouldn’t recommend it for
the girl who doesn’t like house-
keeping at home.”
No matter how busy a woman
is with her home and children,
she should find time to be inter-
ested in politics rnd should have
at least one hobby. So says Mrs.
Ruth Baker Pratt of New York
City, who at the age of 72 defin-
itely shows that she practices what
she preaches.
Sociall prominent and wealthy
Mrs. Pratt is the mother of five
children. And she has 13 grand-
children who are her pride and
Joy. For years Mr*. Pratt was
active in politics, and she has
long been an active patron of
music. ,
The pleasant-looking, smartly
dressed Mrs. Pratt wears her
softly-wave<l hair in a simple coif-
fure. She prefers small pieces of
jewelry, favoring pearls. Her
taste ip clothes runs to simple,
tailored things.
She was horn at Ware, Mass.,
where her father was a textile
manufacturer,
Mrs. Pratt first became well-
known in politic* as a congress-
woman from New York. Inci-
dentally, she was one of 3 Ruths
who went' t«r congress in 1929.
The others were Ruth Bryan Ow-
ens and Ruth Hanna McCormick.
Mrs. Pratt, a graduate of Wel-
lesley College, had the distinction
of being the first woman elected
to the New York City Board of
Aldermen and the first woman
elected to congress from New
York State. And now—nearing
her 78rd birthday— she still la
tremendously Interested in poli-
tics.
