Women In Buslness.

PROFESSIONALLY more women of ca
pability and intelligence look upon
craftsmanship as life work than was
the case ten or even five years ago.
A visit to any one Of the better class
of stores is sufficient to prove this to
the satisfaction of even the casual
observer. One does not get the impress
sion that the salesgirl is simply work
ing at small salary until she can
marry or find some other employment.
but one sees thoughtful saleswomen.
who are trying to make their occupa-
tons worth something, who intend to
sell goods as business and not as
a transient occupation.
The result is that they get better pay
than before. and many Of them are
earning better salaries than they could
in any other way. The discrimination
between men and women in salaries
becomes less and less, for the modern
tendency is to regulate the remuner-
alton by the work done, without refer.
ence to who does it.
Many women as heads Of depart
ments get good salaries, and it is nc
uncommon thing to see woman of
fifty years of more in these positions
