Ew.
Huh. The 1912 hygiene book was already warning about the dangers of lead paint.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We had that here already! I can't imagine it's serious.

Interesting. This book, which was written for jr. high or high school kids about to enter the workforce, has a whole lot of safety suggestions that really only make sense to give to the factory owners. Stuff like putting safety shields on the machines, or making sure the building has enough fire escapes. That's not really stuff that's under the workers' control.

Useful things to be on the lookout for, though.

Those comments to the cookbook were hysterical. I'm very curious as to their attitudes about blow jobs.

True. But this book was published just a few months after the Triangle Shirtwaist fire. I think that most factories then had pretty much the same conditions.

I am starting to get very jealous of you Sara! Dang! I mean, one thing to be all "Ooh, she gets to be somewhere cool", but jealous of even the plane flights and the food? That's not right.
tiggy, I take it this is not a planned and hoped-for sort of pregnancy? Oh dear. Is she just hitting the "oh good lord" at the moment, or has she had some time to think? Is there help in the picture? (Is there still a prospect of losing the job?) Eep! Hairpats indeed!

Did anyone else know that members of the Salvation Army are not allowed to marry outside the group?
One of their "officers" could lose his job if he goes forward with marrying someone not in the group.
I had no idea they were that hardnosed.
