UNEMPLOYED WOMEN.
What Shall BE Done With Those Who Cal
DO Nm works


What Shall BE Done With Those Who Can
Do No Work:
To the thoughtful woman the ques-
ton recurs again and again: What
can be done with the purposeless, IN
trained women willing to work for
wages but unable TO spend time and
money in doubtful attempt to fit
themselves for particular occupation?
A women's exchange is chiefly store
house for undesirable articles, few of
which are bought in pity. 1t is a
device of those who are earnestly seek
ing to help their fellow-women and
not natural Outgrowth of the law of
supply and demand. The training
school begins at the foundation; it
fits girl to hold her own, asking no
fayOrs.
A woman's duty begins with the
woman nearest to her by ties of blood
and affection, and stretches out to
those accounted less fortunate than
herself; but it does not end there.
There are women far above her in the
scale of wealth, perhaps, who need a
wider outlook and broader sympathies;
who need to be drawn out of themselves
and their exclusiveness: who need to be
interested in the great, busy, strug-
Cling world outside of their circle, and
TO feel that upon them rests, in part,
the responsibility of making it better
and purer. In some ways they are
more restricted than the woman who
sews for them. The wife of teamster.
if she have the time, can take up any
remunerative employment, and her
friends neither question nor repudiate
her. The wife of millionaire, pos
sessed of unlimited leisure, must be
idle. For ''he also is idle who might
be better employed" If she can en-
dure the epithet of peculiar" she may
give her life to the investigation and
improvement of tenement houses or
devote herself to particular line of
study; otherwise her work for her fell
low-men and women will be confined
to charity balls and fashionable baZars.
To do aught which would bring her a
return in money is not to be thought
of for an instant.
And from the wife and daughter of
the millionaire to the girl who starves
behind a counter rather than 90 into Il
comfortable kitchen, the same power
is at work Alas! how weak we are.
Women may say that all honest work
is enrolling, and all voluntary idleness
belittling, and that, in comparison
with the woman who never lifts a
finger to serve another, nor has a
thought above her own adornment and
her social conquests, the woman who
does the work of her kitchen, if she do
it well, is worthy of all the honor; but
the conviction has not yet become a
part of them.-EHG C. Lapham, IN
Forum.
