Women Naturally Seek Useful

1.-The future is going to produce just 10 distinct trypes of women. The wom- ! who goes into business life at IS, arries at about 25 and is ready to ve up her business career and rear sildren is one type. The other type the woman who marries at IS or oking and rearing children and nda herself free after 20 years or ore. She is bound to go into busi- fss. You will find her opening tea otns, perfumery shops, going in as 9dget or financial expert, clerking in ores or in some way breaking into e business world. It all sums up
 business before or after marriage! :"

reer and become domesticated, is as rule the modern girl. We find her in every large city in the world. No matter whether she comes from rich or poor parents she wants to have a career and her own pay envelope. But she is also equally willing to give all this up for marriage, provided the right man enters her life.
 The second type is usually the wom- an of few years back-e4really & generation back. She is the girl who was married in her teens or early twenties and has no time of her own until her children reach the college or marriageable age Then she is free. She has done her duty and because women are tired of playing bridge and going to clubs she is going into the business world. In all probability the modern girl who so frequently gives up her career for marriage will return when her family no longer needs her. Time alone will tell about that"
 Do you approve of the girl who holds down two jobs--the girl who nnarries and tries to keep house while she still clings to her pay envelopeT I asked.
 Yes, that is a question upon which I am every clear" warmly responded Miss Picton- -Turbervill. If she is able to do this I think it is rather a mat ter of her own personal right. An employer has no right to question her as to whether she is married if she still continues to keep up her good work. If, however, this young woman finds she is becoming inefficient and the strain too much on her nerves, then it is advisable for her to keep house and rest"
 Miss Picton- -Turbervill is the only woman in England to appear in the pulpit during Sunday statutory serv. ices. Miss Msude Boyden, also of England, frequently breaches, but only at special services.
