ried women is usually a question of

the matter-the one Of the, family who
can make it must make it. And there
fore when one is asked, should married

to allow that it depends, and fain to
add, not if they can help It, But If it
be the woman who must work, let her

The fairest division of labor in the

women Of extraordinary talent were
condemned for no crime but their sex
TO do plain needlework, which might

by women of no talent at all; that was
a waste of good material for which
there can rarely be any necessity.

SHOULD MARRIED WOMEN
FOLLOW PROFESSIONAL CAREERS
By. Sarah Grand,
Author o The Heavenly Twins.

Hueiiof hS r1edVenly WINS. =
They are people who have been per
Verted themselves, for the most part. by
uncongenial homes. Among them are
many who recognize the defect of their
nature, and do their best to remedy it
by securing women more generously
endowed to bring up their children; in
this way they do their duty to the best
OF their ability, and, having done It,
feel themselves at liberty to follow
special pursuits.
AS wives and mothers I should count
these women failures, and should say
that they are quite entitled to try
something else. Let them take up law,
literature, medicine or art. if. they like.
Any honorable profession should be
open to them. But if they are affluent
and no necessity constrains them to
make money, any attempt to do so
should be discountenanced for the sake
of those who must work to live.
1t is argued, l know, that woman
may make her household excellently
and follow a profession as we'll. Many
women do. But it seems to me that the
question Is not so much what women
can do when they are driven to it, but
what they ought in fairness to be asked
to do. IF you take marriage from the
lowest standpoint, that of profession
in itself, you will find yourself forced
to consider the strain Of following two
professions at the same time. No man
is ever expected to do So. This is one
of the great causes of complaint that
women have had, that If they do any
thing they are expected to do every
thing. Numbers have attempted the
task-borne the children, brought them
up. administered the household and
made the money-each and every duty
was punctually performel: but how
many such women. and of those how
many that were not utter wrecks, have
survived to old age? l tried for many
years to combine housekeeping and lit
erary pursuits, and managed both, but
at infinite cost. My health, household
and literary work all suffered; and it
was not until circumstances put 1t in
my power to give myself entirely to lit
erature that I succeeded. Versatile
people are usually amateur in every
thing. There are, of course, extraor-
dinary exceptions, but then one can
not reason from the exceptions.

! satisfactory to generalize, and diff

conclusion is sometimes so trifing
that 1t may easily be overlooked even
by a careful expert; yet the conse-
quence Of making mistakes in these
matters may mean the wrecking of
many lives-which places a heavy re-

would arrive at the truth.
You may say that 1 am taking my
self too seriously In serious matters
people cannot take themselves too seri-
ously. The simplest expression is open
to misinterpretation; the most idle
ejaculation is capable of influencing
Shelley said, "Alasi we know not what
we do when we speak words!" Thought
creates thought, opinion forms opinion
and suggestion is the active agent al
ways at work to move our impulses.
l always feel that this particular
question of married women and profess
sions Is one to be agonized over. 1T
all depends" is the answer, so far as
l am able to judge of 1t. 1t is essen
TALLY a matter of circumstances alter
ing cases. Personally l have no doubt
as to what is the ideal life for the
average married woman. She can have
nothing better than good husband
and ample leisure for her household
duties When she is so happy as to
have children, they must be her
primary consideration.
The influences brought to bear upon
a child in the first few years of it's life
are so all-important that no woman
worthy of her sex would leave 1t to the
care of others except under pressure of
cruel necessity There are unfor-
tunately some abnormal women who
have, as it were, no aptitude for
motherhood, and the best thing that
can happen to their children is to be
brought up by better hearts; but such
women are the exception
