WoMAN.s PROGRESS.
Rights and Benefits She Has Gained In the
Past Century.


Past Century.
In Washington's time women had
scarcely any rights or opportunities
out OF the domestic circle.
A married woman was legal non
entity. The husband was the legal
guardian of the wife. or rather he pos
sessea all the rights OF both. In law
the twain we're one, and that one was
the husband.
To-day a wife Is in many respects n
distinct, independent being in law.
She may acquire. hold. convey and
will property. She may engage in
business, carry on trade. make con-
tracts She may sue and be sued. may
enforce her rights and defend them.
Both married and unmarried women
have acquired political rights In GER
tain Territories suffrage equal to
that enjoyed by men has been con-
ferred on them. In some States they
may vote for certain officers and hold
certain Offices. Everywhere there is a
growing tendency to enlarge the polit-
icaI rights OF all women, as there is to
enlarge the civil rights OF 5arried
women.
Still more striking has been the
opening OF a vast and varied sphere
for the occupation Of women. n lit
erature they have come to the front in
large numbers In trade and industry
countless thousands are employed.
They are found in Office and st0-.. in
shop and factory. A large propdstion
of the sex have ceased to be depend
ents. They have become wage earn
ers and self-supporters- They are re-
spected and honored for battling with
the necessities OF life and earning
their own livelihood.
And this vast army OF employed
women and girls is destined TO in
crease with every coming year IN.

The lady's father understood at once that

questioned the servants, went to the chief
OF police and gathered all possible informa-

The functionary quietly explained that
there were every day women disappearing
from their conjugal domicile; he had even
the kindness to communicate statistics CON-
piled with great care by the head clerk of
the bureau OF police showing that the an
nual average of these disappearance was
much larger for women between twenty

older or younger.
