A fine and profitable business for women
pursued as profession Is that of house
keeping, says Harper's Bazaar Every
woman thinks herself fitted to 'l5eep
house, but in sober truth those who are
really fitted for it-that Is, those who are
thoroughly educated In its requirements
so that they would have right to prac-
tice it as they would any other trade or
profession and receive money for it-are
by no means many Yet if the women
who have peculiarly strong domestic in
clinations would recognize that the trend
of their talent is toward housekeeping
and then prepare themselves seriously
from the first step to the last, there would
be a sensible addition made to the com
fort of the world, and now opening es-
tablished through which many women,
instead of now and then one, could earn
their livelihOods.
AS it is now, when there seems to be
nothing else that woman can do and she
has not a home into which she can cake
boarders for its support, she advertises
herself as housekeeper for a gentlemans
family, widower preferred If she had
learned her business, as she would that of
dressmaking, or typewriting or school
teaching, or surgery, or anything else, in
short, she would never have to make that
humiliating postscript of ''widower pre-
ferred" In that case the widower would
not be preferred. She would 90 into a
house where there was wife who wished
and wearied for her, and would pursue
her duties under no offensive suspicion of
am intention ultimately to marry the
widower IL would make small diff
ference to her if her employer
were man or woman. although she might
perhaps slightly prefer the woman for the
sake of the sympathy which one woman
has for another; but she would go on with
her tasks, her plans, her oversight Oc-
cupied with the house and keeping il in
order with the children and their clothes
and their health, with the table, the
servants the linen, with the whole round
of the years work which Keeps house and
home in running order, and would pay no
more heed to the personality of the man
of the house, as an individual pleasant or
unpleasant TO her, than if she were an
automaton that had been wound up to go
through its motions at his service.
New York has a population of workings
women reaching in round figures to about
300, 900, says the New York World Many
of these women find it hard enough TO
body and soul together; and so frequently
are the extreme cases of poor wages and
hardship brought to notice that one is
liable to feel that all workingwomen are
much to be pitied
One of the plums within the reach of
the ambitious saleswoman who has tact,
energy and taste is that of becoming a
buyer"
