Sixty-Fourth Day of America in the War
WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

How complete is the emergence Of
women from the cocoon of a sheltered ex-
istence, is strikingly shown in a compia-
ton for the thirteenth census. \ genera
ton ago the idea that the eternal feminine
could be a business factor, was secuted a
decade ago the knowing ones thought the
limit had been reached-yet from 1900 to
1910, the date of the census, the increase
has been most striking-not only in the
number of single women engaged in gain
full occupations, but of married women as
Well-above all, of southern women.
In 1890 only 40 per cent Of all married
women, sixteen years old, or over, were
engaged in gainful occupations. In the de-
Cade that followed the proportion increased
to So per cent, with a total Of only 769,-
AT married women in business; but by
1910 there were ], 890,626, or 1O.7 per cent
of all the married women, between the
ages mentioned, so engaged. The increase
was noted in every state except Arizona.
In the south the increase was specially
notable Witness\ the following: Married
women engaged in gainful occupations in
North Carolina, 22,4 per cent; South Caro-
lima, 41.9; Florida, 212; Alabama, 419:
Georgia, 21,2; Mississippi. 419; Arkansas,
2O.3; Louisiana, %; whereas the proportion
was between 4 AMI per cent in western
states.
Equally striking is the increase in the
proportion of the married to all women en-
gagged in gainful occupations In 1890 it
was 143 per cent; in 1900, 15.9 per cent;
but in 1910 254 per cent. Again the in
crease was registered in every state except
Arizona, while the proportion was excep-
tonally high in the south-nearly 81 per
cent in South Carolina and 46.7 per cent in
Florida, whereas in eastern states it ran
between II and IS per cent.
Obviously the negro labor explains the
high averages in the south, but the rapid
increase from 1900 to 1910 was by no
means confined to negroes
Economic conditions explain the in
creased number of women-especiallv
married Women-who are working. 1t
was in 1898-during the Spanish war-that
the living cost took the first great lunge
OF what might be called the modern period.
Then, too, single girls, who learned the
glory of self-maintenance, are not as will
hing as their more receptive mothers to lead
sheltered life and depend on their hus-
bands for spending fonev. The proportion
is probably larger now than it was in 1919
and may he expected to increase. Woman
