THE COURIER "It Is Bad, but true, that among the many women of the better class who nowadays attempt to be self-support-ing there are comparatively few. who achieve any marked success," said a man observer In the .New York Trib une. "Putting aside art and literature which cannot properly be classed with woman's professions, inasmuch as suc cess in either depends entirely on in dividual talent quite apart from the distinctions of sex, the best they can do, as a rule, Is to make a meagre liv ing, seldom, Indeed, acquiring a com petence. Those who succeed In amass ing enough to retire from active em ployment are generally the energetic women who have adopted educational careers, and have achieved prominence as the heads of large boarding school?. This seems really to pay, but in trade what are known aa society women rarely succeed. At best it is a con tinual struggle, and we have yet to hear of the fortunate fair merchant, dressmaker or milliner, who has re tired with a fortune. Next to school keeping, agricultural pursuits on an adequate scale seem to offer the best opportunity of acquiring a competence, and there has been a number of in stances. In California especially, where women have succeeded with their ranches, and there seems no reason why even in the circumscribed east they should not cater successfully for the market. "Why Is It, It Is asked, that there is so little real financial prosperity among women; why should the ac quirement of a bare sustenance be con sidered for 'them a success? That they have brains in plenty every one ad mits, and for a generation, at least, every opportunity has been given them to enter the arena of competition. Why is .it, then, that there have been no radical results. The fault, It must be acknowledged, lies with the women themselves. They work half heart edly, because they must, and failures discourage them. Then, too, they are apt to try too many things. They do not keep In a groove like a man, who does not expect success early In life, 'and is content to work for years for the future. Women have neither the patience nor the daring to make suc cessful merchants. They expect Im mediate results, and are too economical to scatter for future gathering. "What they can do in the profes sions is yet to be proved, certainly so far no star has arisen. In short, we hear a great deal of the new wo man, of her ability, courage and dar ing, but, after all is said and done, we do not see that there is any great difference between the new and the old."
