Women May Lack Hope Chests But Not Hope, House Articles
The once-famous hope chest, the large container in which each single woman kept household articles for use after marriage, seems to be lacking for most KU single females.
Only one of six women interviewed has a hope chest, although they all have collected a few household goods reserved for after their wedding. Five of the women are keeping the articles in drawers in their bedrooms at home or in old furniture stored in attics. They must have hope.
One of the six was unfamiliar with the term "hope chest."
What has happened to the traditional hope chest made of cedar wood?
Sweeper Box Used
Sally Atwood, Winfield freshman, uses a long narrow wooden and plastic box as a hope chest. She said:
"My mother got her vacuum sweeper in it. I just kept the box after she was done with it. Although it's not a cedar hope chest, it is working fine so far.
"The old box holds two handmade quilts and four pillow slips, which were gifts from my grandparents. I've also got a can opener, cookie press and several knives, which my father sold me wholesale from the hardware stock he handles."
What's a Hope Chest?
The unidentified KU woman who had not heard of hope chests said she has set aside six tea towels and three pillow cases. These are all gifts to her and she keeps them stored in her attic at home, she said.
Janet Dorman, Lucas sophomore, has used coupons from packaged cake mixes to get her six place settings of silver. She said:
"I don't have any cedar chest which most people think of when someone mentions hope chests. I've been keeping the silver and six tea-towels I've collected in various drawers at home."
One woman from Miller Hall has no hope chest nor articles reserved for after marriage. She said she figured she could use a lamp, which she made in ceramics class last semester, and the few towels she has collected regardless of whether she ever gets married.
Gifts Help
Connie Scheinkonig, Broughton sophomore, said she had only six antique cups and saucers and six pillow cases in her collection.
"These are all gifts. I myself

haven't done anything toward getting household articles for the future. I haven't even bought a chest or box to put any of these gifts in."
Miss Atwood is the only one of the interviewed women "chained" to a man. None of the others were going steady, pinned or engaged.
