Married Women Have Place in Business
Ridiculous for Husandes Females Complain the Competition Offered
by Sisters Who Happen to Wear Wedding Rings

TT is, perhaps, because women
are still 50 new in the COM
mercial world that they have
not learned the rules of the road
and that certain of them seem TO
think that they should have
privileged way and everybody
should get out of their path.
The sight of a married woman,
for instance, doing work for
which she gets paid Is as mad
dening to many worklngwomen
as is waving a red nag before the
eyes OF a bull. There is never
day that | don't get half a dozen
irate letters asking me to write
an article telling the woman
who has got a husband and
home to stay in ii and leave the
pay envelope to the spinster.
These writer's invariably say they
have been forced ont of their jobs
by married women, and that It is
a shame and an outrage for
women with husbands TO compete
In the labor market with women
who are husbandless Also they
charge that employers prefer
married women TO single women
Atlanta Georgian., 1914-02-10

and the other one rowing around
in search of a possible husband.
The cry of the unmarried wom-
an that the married woman should
be debarred from the gainful oc-
cupations is unjust, and she had
better waste no more strength
and voice in uttering it. For I
warn her that the married wom-
an is not only in business for
keeps, but that she is going to be
in it in greater and greater num-
bers every year
Whether we like it or not, we
had just as well face the truth,
and that is that under present
economic conditions very few men
can support a family in decent
comfort by their own unaided eff
fort. This is going to force the
wives out of the home to work
just as it has already forced the
daughters, and in another ten
years it will be just as much a
matter of course for the wife of
poor man to continue after mar
riage at her trade or profession
as ii is for the daughters of a
poor man to earn their own liv-
ing now
Atlanta Georgian., 1914-02-10
By DOROTHY DIX

that way in reality. Many a
woman finds that everything that
marriage has brought her is a
husband to support and children
to feed and clothe. and her need
of earning money is more des-
perate than that of the single
woman who has nobody but her
self to take care of. Practically
every married woman who works
outside of her home does so be-
cause she has to, and not be-
cause she wants to, and so she
is entitled to her job on that con-
sideration also
But business is not conducted
along eleemosynary lines. 1t is
done for profit. Nor do employ
ers choose their employees by
means of philanthropic tests and
on account of their necessity.
They pick out those who can do
the work best and who givs the
most satisfactory service.
Therefore, when an employer
turns off a single woman and
hires a married woman in her
place or advances a married
woman over single woman, it
is simply because the married
woman has moro ability or more
industry, or is attending more
closely to business. The mat
ter of wedding rings cuts no figure
in the affair. AS a matter OF fact,
every man who hires women is a
little inclined TO give the prefer
ence to the single one, on the
ground that IL a woman's hus-
band doesn't support her he ought
10.
And if married women are ad-
vanced more quickly than sim
gle women in the places in which
they work, as many Of my Corre-
spondents assert, IL is simply be-
cause the married woman has
settled down to business as a life
occupation and is bending all of
her energies to make good in it,
while the single woman is still
working with one eye on her job
Atlanta Georgian., 1914-02-10

We go to the butcher shop
where we get the best meat for
our money, without reference to
the matrimonial status of the
men who run them. 1t would be
just az logical for all married
men to cry out that bachelors
shouldn't be allowed to go into
business as it Is for women to
oppose married women working
outside of their homes. They've
got a perfect right to do II If they
want to, and it's childish and
ridiculous for other women to
object TO it.
Aside from her inherent right
to labor how and where she
pleases, the married woman who
continues at her old job has either
the necessity to earn money or
else she has some peculiar fitness
and talent for her chosen work
that would make her a loss to rne
world did she retire to strict do
mesticity. II no saleswoman. no
woman buyer, no milliner, no
dressmaker. no stenographer
should continue at her work after
she gets married, then no woman
writer. no actress, no musician,
no painter should continue at
hers That would be rather a
squelcher of genius. wouldn't itP
Because women ordinarily marry
while they are young and before
they come TO the full maturity Of
their power.
Yet the girl stenographer or
the girl behind the counter
doesn't compete any more with
the married stenosr6pher or the
married woman buyer than
the girl writer does with Mrs.
Humphry Ward or the girl ac-
tress does with Mrs. Sothern or
Mrs. Fiske.
The theory that every married
woman has somebody TO support
her anl provide for her and stand
between her and the cruel world
is a beautiful one, but unhappi-

The Revival Dancing
Caused Extremes;
No Wonder!
Dancing

The woman who had passed
thirty apologized if she was seen
dancing; and married people were
afraid to express a love for the
diversion lest they be ridiculed.
A beautiful and healthful and
enjoyable art seemed on the de-
cline.
Then suddenly change; an
awakening of dull minds; linn
bering of stiff joints, new life in
bored faces; new interest in the
oldest of all arts.
The dance was reborn. And
youth was reborn in the hearts
and bodies and minds of men and
women of all ages.
Grotesque, abnormal, unbeau-
tiful and even vicious were the
early contortious of this reborn
art. 1t seemed like some strange
creature which had been shut in
the dark so long that it became
half insane when let forth once
more into the full light of day.
So cramped had it been with
its Incarceration that it flung it
self about in curious contortions
to make certain of its freedom
But those contortions are now
becoming graceful movements:
and the insane expressions of
liberty are resolving themselves
once more into the primal mean
ing of the dance-the joy of life.
Nothing more absurd, nothing
more unreasonable, could be than
the ban placed by various indi-
viduals on dances bearing GER
tain names.
One sees flaming headlines am
nouncing that somebody in pow
er, socially or otherwise, has sent
forth an edict against the tan
go" or some other new dance.
AS reasonable would it be to
decry walking because it is possi-
BILE to walk indecently.
As reasonable would it be to
brand music as an agent of the
devil because music has been put
to evil purposes by the vicious
minded. There were certain curl
Gus dances, which sprung forth
like fungus growths, and LASTED
for a night and a day, bearing
unwholesome names.

Revival Of Dancing
1t Is Absurd to Condemn the
Tango and Other Modern
Dances Just Because the
Name Sounds Risque. ~
Bv Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Copyright, 1914, by Star Company.

HANGING is an expression of
- joy in life.
When love for his Maker
awoke in man the dance began.
AS far back as history reaches
we find dancing associated with
religious rites.
Dancing comprises all the other
arts.
A beautiful dancer expresses
poetry, music, sculpture, paint
ing, al IL the dance.
Besides being the most beauti-
full of all arts, II is the most
healthful of all exercises, when
enjoyed under right conditions.
Besides being the most health
ful, it is the most moral of exer-
cises.
Young people who are given
training in dancing and allowed
to dance frequently in clean,
wholesome environments and un-
der wise chaperons utilize surplus
vitality, which, when suppressed
by rigid rules or Nbigoted ideas,
ofttimes results in mischief and
disaster
Take the old-fashioned religi-
GUS communities where dancing
is regarded as a sin and there are
always to be found numerous
cases of hysteria among the
young girls and various nervous
maladies among the youths. No
proper outlet for their super
abundant young vital forces has
been provided, no escape valve.
Little children dance before
they have ever seen dancing; lit
tie kittens, and little puppies, and
all small animals dance with the
joy of existence.
The waves of the sea, the leaves
of the trees, the grasses of the
meadow-all dance. The sun
beams dance; and light itself is
ever in motion.
The man and woman who have
never learned the joy to be eX-
perienced in dancing have missed
a great happiness.
And they have missed a means
of physical grace.
The present renaissance of the
art of dancing is remarkable.
For a decade, at least, before
the tidal wave rose, young men
fled from bathrooms and left girls
to find partners among them
Atlanta Georgian., 1914-02-10
Learn All New Dances
but Be Modest and
Graceful.

1t is as innocent of anything
injurious to the morals of the
young as skipping the rope.
Instead of selecting some one or
two new dances to decry. our
we'll meaning moralists should
decry indecent attitudes or sug-
gestive movements in all dancing.
The same moralists make no
protests against the waltz and
two-step.
Yet both of those dances can
be made quite as Objectionable
as any of the most modern inven-
tions, if the participants so wish.
When the waltz was first in,
troduced in the baSroom it Great
ed as great excitement and as vio-
lent protests as the modern
dances are creating. Lord Byron,
who was debarred from the plea
sure by lameness, exhausted his
vocabulary of invectives against
the immoral waltz.
Let us be sensible and reason
able. The dance is reborn; and
it must live its life. 1t must DO
its work. 1t must be met as
factor in social life. Instead OF
attempting to crush it, or abolish
it; instead of saying to our young
people. "You can dance and two
step, but you must not learn any
of the new dances; they are m
decent" let us say, Learn all the
new dances, but be modest, de-
cent, graceful and well behaved
on the dancing floor.
Dance only with your friends
and in the environment which IS
respectable and safe from intru-
sion of the undesirable. SNOW

And to our older people let US
offer hearty congratulations that
they no longer need apologize or
explain when owning to love oil

For. to-day, the man or woman
who does not dance is the eXcep-
ton.
