Many employers have found ‘useless to train good-looking, capable girls in any 4] Unes, for, Just when they are fitted for the required dutied and the accompanying higher salary, off they go.” ISS ANNA B.

Do you know there are hum dreds of college men—men educated In the classioe—in Ni York who can’t make more than $16, try as they Doesn't that make you feel ashamed of yourself?” “Ashamed!” echoed the girl, flushing. “Ashamed! Og the contrary, {t makes me very proud.” And the opponent of the working woman felt himeet{ equipped with one more argument against the sex. A wome an of exceptional ability makes as much at her profession as & man of like ability, The average woman does nod make as much as the average man, for the very excellen§ reason that she does not do as much work nor as thorough, On this ject the manager of a large wholesale houses They were halt hour women I never dared say anything about it.

Ared the two girls, I'm perfectly satisfied wif the change, because the man {s always on time, does more work than both of them put together, and I can swear a@ him whenever I like, besides saving $4." Therefore, then, two women, though apparently working for less money than a man, actually received together $4 a week more foe 4 the same work, If thelr employer's estimate ls to be aew cepted, of course, there are women who work with one eye om marriage, just as there are men who work with one eye om pay day and the other on the clock, But they are in @ minority, and the causes for the lesser wages pald to wore eu must be sought elsewhere, The “Fudge” Idiotorial Scleace Was lavented by the Evening Fadge, Por the Myatification of the Good Old Common People, (Gapyret, 1904, by the Planet Pub.
