A Standing Evil.

That many women should be OBLIGED r.
earn their living at the expense of health
i one Of the unfortunate facts of o,Ir IN.
complete civilization. That thi. fact will
exist until the majority of social rroblcm-
ar" solved seems more probable than most
hypothrsrs. But there are conditions en-.
forced upon some forms Of female labor
which are not only unnecessary. but ab.o.
Iutcly criminal. Prominent among such !,
the practice Of compelling shop,girl, to
stand behind counters from scvcn or cioht
clock IN the morning TO six, eight or ten
o'clock at night. There is not a pbvsici.r
in the land who will not tell any cm,,Iova.
Of female help that. as rule. women. b,.
anatomical structure, are unfit to stand all
day long, particularly in this country.
where nerves and false living have made
them infinitely more delicate than Nature
ever intended. There are establishments
wherein may be found printed regulations
commanding employees "always to stand.
to dress neatly and to be absent only half

Curiositie8 of Wooing,
