pier than l. do not believe in women
having TO earn money except by earning it
as grateful daughters, loving wives and
devoted mothers. But. alasf that are so
many women. And upon the fraH shout
ders of so many women falls the support
of so many others. If there is a woman
worker in the family be sure that she is
caring Tor somebody, and men should
blush with shame when they allow women
TO earn money for them; that is Of course
unless they are inValids. But right here
where there are thousands of women
working, there are women supporting lazy

womanhood. because they have not only
to work but to work too hard.
You know l am telling the truth. You
need only look in your own small town
If you live in one, to find the shiftless
man who is supported by a woman. If
there is one in the small town, how many
are there in the great big cities? There
are women who are supporting drunk
ards. Do you know what that means?

dition, when you are alone, 10 find your
self uttering a silent prayer that he may
come home sober To have him appear
drunk, beasuy drunk. to put cold cloths
on his head, to try and induce him to
take some medicine, to work and watch
until he goes to sleep; perhaps to have
bruise on your forehead where he struck
you, and which you excuse because he
did not know what he was doing. After
a sleepless night to find yourself at your
work, and to have the editor, or the pic
ture-buyer, or the merchant wonder why
you don't throw more life into your
work this morning" These women are
the martyrs of the nineteenth century.
1t is true, sadly true. But there are
pleasant things TO think about, even
among the workers. There is going to
be many a pleasant evening for the lone
