WHY WOMEN ARE WORKING.

There are said to be 100000 of
women working as domestics or as
farm laborers, the latter for the
most part in the south, and 4,OOO,-
600 are working in other occupations
of the country. Among the 6,OOO,-
900 workingmen are nearly 1,00O,-
900 widows and nearly 100000 mar
ried women whose husbands have
failed to provide for them. Nearly
100000 divorced women are also
among the wage-earners. The "nat-
ural protector" of the woman seems
to be absent in nearly every one of
these cases, and the man has put the
woman to work in many cases.
