Recently The Chicago Tribune col

IN proof OF the oft,heard complaint
that women are dessrting the home
for business occupations al rate
which threatens, II not the very
foundations OF society, the job of the
erstwhile lord of creation The learn
ed sociologists have taken a fresh grip
on the question, and the consensus OF
opinion seems to be that If, happily,
race suicide does not result, mere man

babies and wrcstle with the dlsh-rag

The New York Sun takes an ex-
ceedingly pessimistic view Of The
Chicago Tribune's findings and asks IN
despair what Is to become OF the men:
-'will man become obsolete?"
In Chicago SO women are butchers,
1,444 are laborers. 1888 are iron and
steel workers, l2p are saloon keepers,
548 are physicians and surgeons, and
475 are BARRIERS and hairdressers. In
the list OF bookkeepers and account
ants there Is one woman TO every two

ers, only 1862 men are left 70 the

6l2 women and only I,253 men. The

teachers in schools and colleges there
are 1900 women to only .59z men

Whether Englishmen really admire American
girls than English it is difficult, at pres
ent, to say, for the Dollar and the Dover like the
gift that bndeth the eyes of the just" have made
matrimony rather a matter of money than of love-
and Cupid weeps among the unemployed, while
cupidity has it all his own way.
When we see English aristocrats marrying poor
American girls in preference to English Ones then
it may be time enough to say with certainty that
the American girl has really conquered. Let not
the English girl attempt to copy the American even
the best of these; for what becomes the one does
not become the other and she will only succeed in
initiating the faults of Miss Jonathan without their
compensating qualities, and in destroying her own
native virtues. Her best defense is to be and re-
main true unto herself and to go on being more
and more herself; and this is what I hope to help
her to do by portraying her at her best.
