Girls In Business

Very nruch has been said on the subject of girls with independent incomes or well to do parents going into business or taking up any ineans of livelihood, and severe and it would seem very nnjust criticisms have been indulged in. It is claimed by working women and their champions that for a girl with a good home or an income to go into business or take remunerativa work to do is unjust to those who are dependent on their own exertions for a living. Just where the jjustice of siich critioism comes in it would be difflcult for any philosopher to decide. No one thinks it strange. Indeed it is quite the proper thing, when a boy on or before arriving at maturity, goes out into the world to earn his living. However wealthy his father may be seems to make no difïerence. Indeed under such circurnstances industry and application to business are looked upon as all the more praiseworthy, but for some mysterious reason the girl is not allowed this privilege. This appears to be but another of the relies of barbarism which unfortunately cling like barnacles to the ship of progress. Everybody has a right to earn a living or any portion of it by whatever honorable occupation he may see fit to take up. Whether it be a man or a woman matters not. There is plenty of work in the world
