The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-03-08

Whatever adverse criticism the now wo-
man has drawn upon her devoted head,
one can but admire the phase of develop
ment that enables her TO take care of her
self in time of need. Indeed, we might
ask, What is new woman" Even the
so-called society woman who has been
looked upon as only ornamental. is not
behind-hand now in using talents other
than social. One hears of the titled Eng
lish woman, a quOndam leader of fashion,
who has gone into the millinery business
with brilliant success; and two plucky
girls, English also have lately opened an
agency for renting houses, furnished or
otherwise. in London and have succeeded
so well that they are starting a theater
ticket Office for out-of-town customers
And so it is the world over Even here at
the south the old regime is forgotten and
girls are learning to support themselves
instead of being dependent on their faith
ers and brothers. When one sees the US
ual Savannah girl whirllng away in the
giddy mazes Of a german her first winter
-'out," one looks upon her as an attrac-
tive being, but scarcely realizes the capa-
bilities she may possess, and yet within the
past few years many of our girls are not
only supporting themselves but fast MAX
ing regulations in various lines. There are
so many directions in which talents may
lie. Some of our girls are turning their at
tention to the culinary arts. Some are us
ing the needle with such ability that the
dainty work they do are veritable works
Of art so much so that only the wealthy
can afford them, and yet they are COM
monty in demand. Others there
are who combine philanthropy
and ambition and have entered
hospitals where they are as faith
fur workers as can be found anywhere,
and some have gone into journalism and
are struggling on hopefully towards the
goal OF ultimate success. There are those
who are possessed of artistic gifts, and
by their own unaided efforts are not only
supporting themselves. but are working
constantly TO improve their talents One
young artist is succeeding even in New
YORK, where lesser lights are soon lost
sight Of Others have worked till they
were able TO so abroad and study. Lastly,
there are those women who have joined
the great army OF teachers, and their sue
cess is seen on every side No better proof
OF their efficiency in this field can be given
than 10 cite the fact that the principal of
one of the city's private schools for girls
has received the gratifying assurance
from celebrated northern college that a
ceItlncate from her school will
gain a student admission to this college
without further examination. There are
disagreeable sides of course to work of
al kinds. But even if there We're no
question of remuneration, the gain TO a
Woman's character from honest thought
ful work of any kind cannot be esti-
mated. Those who still claim that a girl
should do nothing more than sit in wait
ing for the fate ordained for her will
admire this family of girls, Georgians,
700. Ihough possessed of the average
amount of cleverness, they We're early
ambued with the idea that they had only
TO wait for what the days would bring
that Ntrae 70
be made. and that they had ony to sit and
rock in the vineclad piazza of their south
ern nome and await their fate" That
was years ago, the family exchequer is
at very low ebb. but they sit and rock
still-"awaiting their fate"
