Straight Talks to Women About Money

20 years.
While single women earn more than
married ones, it Is paradoxical to find
that women with dependents earn more
than those without. This would seem
to prove that women with strong in

power than those lacking them.

with the $l,492 for women without

These figures are based on the earn

would seem to throw fairly good light
on women's earning capacities.

Your Earning Capacity.

Frequently women ask others as well
as themselves what woman's earning
capacity is. They may not say so in
30 many words, but 1t is natural to wish
to know the limits of ones earning
power.
Earning capacity is, of course, per-
sorlaI question. However, We can learn
what the average business woman earns.
II we feel we are at least average and
living In q community that affords OPP
portunities equal to those available
elsewhere, we can get fairly salts

According to q national organiza ton
of business and professional women, a
business woman's average salary is
81 $40 q year. While that Is the aver
age, it is added that the medium in

woman is $2,043 a year.

time dress. It may be made Of chiffon
or georgette and frilling Of the same
material. From the georgette you will
need to cut piece straight across the
top and rounded across the lower edge
and sides. For the average figure 8
inches would be suitable width, with
about or inches for the depth.
OF the frilling you will need enough
to go around the neck and around the
curved sides of the front piece. Sew
the frilling on the material so that the
ends of the frilling come at the side
of the neck. Now slip the collar on
over the dress on which you intend to
wear it and pin the collar on the dress
around the frilling so that the front
falls in graceful folds, as shown in the
sketch.
The dress should be cut down in
front enough to prevent its showing
above the cowl neck arrangement, and
the edge where the frilling Is sewed to
the front piece should be tackled into
position on the dress with inconSpicu
