That women are numerously enter

forsaking domestic occupations and
are doing so at an increasing ratio is
made evident by recent official stats.
tics.
In 1882 there were in the empire
1,334,924 persons employed as domes-
tic servants, the vast majority of
them, of course, being women. In
1907 there were only 1,264,755 thus
employed, although the population of
the empire had in the mean time in
creased by more than SO per cent.
These figures prove that women in
Germany, just as in America, are in
increasing numbers turning away
from household occupations. That
they are in increasing numbers en-
tering other occupations is proved by
the fact that the number thus en-
gagged was 4,259,103 in 1882, 1894 1893
in 1896 and no less than S,243,498 in
1907.
In the former period of 10 years
the increase of males thus engaged
was 1896 per cent. and of females
$3.50 per cent, and in the latter pe-
Rod of IL years the increase of males
was 1885 per cent. and of females
$3.50 per cent.
