Tha atght of a married woman, for Inetanca, doing work for which, aha get paid la aa maddening to many working women aa la waving a red flag Mora th eyes of a bull, Ther la naver a day that 1 don't get half a doien Irate lettere asking ma to writs an articio Idling tha woman who ha got a hu bnd and a hnma to ty In It and leava lha pay anvalopa to tha spinster.

The theory tht vafy married woman tin somebody to aiipport her and pro-. vide for her .and atand botwenn her and tin? emnl world a beautiful one, but, unhappily, It doe not alway pau out thnt way l)i reality. Many a woman find that, everything that marriage h brought her la a hustmnd to aiipport and children to feed and clothe, and her need of earning money la mora Ueapornle I ha n that of the alngla woman who hn nobody but perarlf to take cure of, Trac tloally every married woman who work outald of her homo doe n her una aha h to, and not herauae he want to, and o aha la entitled to her Job on that consideration alao, Hut bualneaa la not condurted along eleemoaynary line. It I dona for profit. Nor do employere rhooa their employee by mean of phllanthroplo teat and on account of their neceeelty.
