MILLINERS MULTIPLYING.
Their Trade Fourteenth Among the
Callings OF Women Breadwinners.

Millinery ranks fourteenth among
gagged as breadwinners. II Is a dis
tinctly woman's occupation, 94.4 per
cent. OF all milliners In the United
States being women.
Only two occupations have a larg-
er proportion OF women: dressmak-
ing, with gas per cent, and house
keeping with 94.7 per cent. Seam
stresses are 919 per cent. OF them
women. These four occupations
were the only occupations in which
women constitute over nine-tenths
OF all persons employed
Almost nine-tenths OF the women
milliners are native whites. In large
cities more than half the milliners
were under rs years Of age. Prob
ably when they exceed that age they
marry and II they remain in business
II IL done In the husband s name and
the census credits him with being a
merchant. In 1890 there was one
milliner. to every 323 women 10
years OF age and over. In 1909 one
to every 2S5.
This change is thought TO reflect
the advance in the prosperity OF the
country, since millinery to certain
extent is luxury. and In family
budgets forms an item that probably
responds quickly to fluctuations in
income. IL the manual training
schools and technical institutions
continue to run out milliners in the
next ten years as they have In the
last decade there will be one mil
liner to every hundred women, and
