the census returns, 2,353, sss women and
girls were supporting themselves Who'll
" OF in part and In many cases pro-
yiding for families dependent upon
them. II the ratio is maintained at the
present time the army numbers s.557,-
$50. There are women in the professions
and all branches OF trade, as well as in
the business Offices and factories. Yet
the fact OF their being so employed is
no sign 81 poverty. The American wo-
man is an independent creature who
likes to make her own way in the
world. or al least show her ability in
that direction, even when surrounded
by all the comforts Of home provided
by male relatives.
Education has worked a wonderful
transformation in this respect in the
last fifty years.
