In the fifth "Third House, article,
Mrs. Mabel Potter Daggett tells many
interesting facts concerning what this
now famous body of women have ac
complished. We quote the following:
Is there anything so hard to get to-

why, see the last United States census
report that lists some three hundred se.
cupations now open for women. There
used to be only one. Sometimes you
entered it by the front door and some
times you entered it by the back door
But whether as the mistress entering
on matrimony or the maid entering on
service, the duties to which the limit
ing conditions of your sex called you,
were domestic labor. Even now in all
this present day clamor about what
women shall or shall not be permitted
to do, the public is almost resentfully
unanimous in agreement about the ono
occupation, that women's work what
ever else it may be is homework SO
Of course it seems the more surprising
that women Won't do it. And they
won't today, not il they can ct iate
any one of those three hundred other
occupations in which they nay now
