the gentlewoman whom the stern necessi-
ties of life have forced into the steadily
enlarging field Of bread winners, is that

And why not? The duties are precisely
those for which her previous social con-
dition and her educational advantages
have best fitted her, the environment is
congental and familiar. the hours are
short, and the salaries though by no
means uniform, are invariably good.
Moreover. the introduction of this
comparatively new figure into the gem
eral scheme of social economy has be-
come an inevitable necessity.
The woman who is to have anything
