In a lecture delivered at The Hague
by Madame Yalenton- Kieldgaard on
the occasion of a congress Of the
League for Women's Electoral Rights,
some extremely interesting particu-
lars Of the present economic status
of the women of Denmark, and espe-

Young women who would be of the
student class in other countries make
it their special object to gain COM

modern technical progress. Thus In
Denmark there are women photog-
raphers, jewelers., bookbinders, house
decorators, hairdressers - and in
every case they receive the same pay
as men. One of the four largest res
taurants in Copenhagen belongs to
the. daughters of a cabinet minister.
There is an outstanding point Of diff
ference between the activities OF
women in Denmark and in other
countries. In Denmark the sole aim
Is economic independence for women
: throughout life. Thus in Copenhagen

jority of actresses are married. In
order to enter the school Of the
"corps de ballet" it is necessary to
be of good family. The greater part
of the husbands of ballet dancers are
In very high positions. From $50 to
400 teachers in the free schools In
Copenhagen are married. They re
ceive exactly the same salary as the
other teachers that is, 1900 crowns
yearly ($32O). A head teacher, man
or woman, commences with 1900
