WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBfU.
A man went the rounds OF the city the
ether day trying to md 3 woman who
Fasn't busy.
He gave II Up as IN impossible Job.
rhrse-fourths Of the women were rushed
70 death and tho other fourth was down
Eck frum ovsfwurk.
The industry Of the busy bee Is proven
bal. but not more 30 than the industry OF
Fkhe busy woman
A mans work may be from sun to sun,
but q. womxn's work Is never done.
Yet. In the busy hive Of women workers
khere must be some that are buster than
Others.
And among the very busy ones can be
coumted the women who work" who are
actually employed.
And In this number can be mentioned
the women lawyers. doctors and newspa-
per writer's, the women school teachers,
photographers and clerks, the women who
work at indoor pursuits and the large
number Of .wage and salary earners every
where.
All these require special physical cnl-
fure treatment
A correspondent wrote a little while ago

HOW school teacher or q woman
4ecturer Of any description can use her
lungs all day In a room which Is filled
with pupils all breathing the same cir
over and over again, Is q miracle.
The problem Of supplying the lungs Of
xhe teacher with perfectly fresh. pure.
WARM air has never been solved, and the
Door teacher must either breathe poor
air OF open the window and catch cold.
GETTING FRESH AIR
OF course. there Is such q thing an
ranged, a. every teacher knows and as
every woman who Is employed In an Of
nce whore there are others knows.
The air grows heavy and the head grows
6nu and the heart and stomach grow sick.
