TIE NEW WOMAN.


No change in tho life Of the American people is
more marked than that which has come about in the
last forty years with regard to women workers In
1860 the business woman among us was unknown To.
day the business woman has taken up position in

United States employed In household work main.
~ although there were few thousands occupied in
cotton and wooden factorics and in dressmaknE aud
millinery establishments, BY 1890 the number Of our
women employees had risen to 100000 an Increase OF
1850 cent the figures for 1860 The statistics
for 1900 have not yet been published but Il is estl.
mated that they win show the number Of our women
workers TO be at lcnst 100000.
Md not only have women workers increased IN
numbers TO this extent but they have enlarged the
kinds of work In which they engage. In all sorts of
business and industry women are now found compel.

professions
There ia no doubt that society ne whole and the
who have joined the ranks Of the workers have
