FINNISH WOMEN ARE NOT

They Labor in Fields, on
Wharves and Ships.

Long before one reaches Finland
one begins to see how successfully
Finnish women may compete with
their menfolk and what unexpected
occupations they may follow, writes
correspondent of the Queen.
After the first surprise it seems
natural enough that the stewards
on the Finland steamer should all
be buxom maidens.
But that does not prepare one for
the sight of a woman actually in
charge of the galley OF the appear
ance on deck next morning Of
pretty housemaid, who draws
bunch of cotton Waste fro mher
apron pocket and proceeds to polish
the brass fittings like an old expert
enced hand.
Women are at work in ths
fields of short yellow corn harvest
ing with the men; they are in charge
of the smaller wharves along the
highways OF the lake; perhaps you
will meet them coming south with a
tar boat; in the cities they share
with men In the work of repairing
the streets. and squads of elderly
women may be found engaged in the
tedious task of clearing the inter-
