Frau Eliza Ichcnhaausar. the wife OF a
Berlin banker erdorecf the leaders in the
movement fer tho advancement Of woman
in Germany, publishes scsne interesting
data. In 1865 President Ldtte, who first
stirred up public opinion here concerning
Eettsr chances for women 20 earn a living
said in his memorial that fer women III
Germany. et that time. there were outside
of becoming servants bat two ways OF
earning money legitimateiy-yiz, By
turning seasnstresses or governesses, both
OF which scaIlings weTe in consequence

In that year the census in Prussia showed
that there were engaged 1856 women III
education and teaching, 16, SIT in nursing
and hospital work and l, 1856 1925 in do
mestio service, day labor IN fields, etc,
and in mental work about factories and
other industrial establishments. Ten years
later the figures lad improved greatly for
there were in 1875 10 less than 329, 067
women conducting stores or other ndus-
trial enterprises, including of course small
islands and booths, etc. and 90, $3.50 m
ployed commercially or technically, as
well as 1914, 556 employed as factory hands,
etc, and 1875 were owners Of large in
dustrial establishments, and 1,S14 served
in responsible positions in wholesale stores,
etc. In 1882 these figures had been further
increased, hut in a smaller ratio than in
1875, although over 4, 900, coo of women
and girls were earning their own bread
by that year. The industrial censu of
1895, however, shows another remarkable
increase. for 5,264,4 0S We're recorded as
making a living exclusively by the exer-
else of their brains or manual skill exclu-
siye of domestic service.
In fact, this last census demonstrates
the fact that since 1889 more thau a score
of professions, trades or callings have been
added to the list of those which a woman
may today take up and pursue in Ter
many without losing caste or social stand
ing. The study of this part of the returns
is particularly interesting. ! find, to
enumerate q few, that women nowadays
may land do) follow agriculture, horticul-
ture, Cattle raising. forestry and fishing;
mining, assaying and smelling; industrial
pursuits OF every description; architecture,
sculpture, painting, engraving, printing,
mechanical and civil engineering; insur-
ance, money lending, banking, commits
sion and brokering; printing and editing
They also bold places in the postal, teie-
graph ana telephone departments and
many others from which until a few years
ago they were practically or theoretically
shut out. The most remarkable evidence,
though, of the position of woman in Ger
many is the column showing her as owner
or solo operator of large and intricate tech
