ONE OF EVERY THREE WOMEN
IN CITY WORKS, SAYS M'LISS
Ihto Office, Factory, Mill and Home They Go to
the Number of 205,000 to Earn
Their Daily Bread
fTtfE next time anybody gets oft tho old bromide, "Woman's place Is the
f-LlWme," with tho self-naUnTled grin that usually accompanies such an asscr
onv'nsk him If he knows that one-third of this women of this city of work
in ago earn their own living.
This Is no Idle chapter. It's hard fact gleaned from statistics set before
Wfl by Miss Mary McConncll, executlvo secretary of tho Consumers' I.cnguc,
than whom there Is ho one In Philadelphia better Informed regarding the
Working woman and her habits.
"I did suffrage work this summer," Miss McConncll told me, "and I found
tW fact tho best argument In tho sheaf of good ones that I used. When
Ver ft man hurled at me tho old familiar 'woman's placo Is tho home,' I
Always answered him back with my statistics. I think I made moro converts
with this ono Item than with all tho others. It's a big- fact, this thing of
ono-thlrd of all tho women In tho city going out to work; few men realize
H and. what It portends that tho entrance of woman Into professional, com
mercial and Industrial fields In such numbers shows that they have como
to stay."
In round numbers, 206,000 women are employed In Philadelphia, from
the llttlo child who starts her business career nt tho tender ago of 14 and
at the princely sum of $2 or J3 a week doing piece-work In tho factory, to
the well-groomed, capable woman buyer who goes to Europe twice a year
and draws down an annual salary as high as $17,000, thero Is scarcely any
Held loft that women have not thought themselves fitted to enter. There are
$3,000 women engaged In tho manufacturing Industries nlone. Of this num
ber, 28,000 work In tho textile mills and 14,000 at machlno operating.
What would, pcrhap3, bo moro Interesting than tho numbers of women
earning their living hero would be tho money that they mnko at It. Hut
even Undo Sam In getting up his statistics found this too much of a problem
to tackle In Its entirety.
Statisticians divide female workers Into two classes: thoso who earn wages
and thoso who earn salaries. It does not follow, however, Hint a wago Is
necessarily lower than a salary. The latter, however, Is supposed to come
With a sort of kid glovo Job.
Wages, nt least, are going up. In 1,0 years the pay cnvclopo of the wage
earner mnlo and female avcrnged together has shown an Increase of $44.
In 1899 tho annual Income of the person who worked for wages was $4GG. In
1D04 It had Jumped to 482 and In 1909, when the last complete llgurcs were
tabulated, It was $520.
That was seven years ago. Investigators declare that wages have
increased slnco then. Not In a startling fashion, such as would Justify a
man In erecting a garago In his back yard, but enough to appreciate, nt any
rate.
Five hundred and twenty dollars seems a small amount to support a hun
gry family on, but If tho figures don't lie, many nre doing It right In this city.
Maybe soma of tho practical women who have tho handling of tho bulk of
this money will tell tho Budget Editor how they are doing It.

PALM BEACH FROCK OP WHITE GEORGETTE CREPE
A Dearth of Servants?
There's going to bo a famlno In servants. War reports declare that
becauso of the demand for women In all the industries abroad, only a small
percentage of tho number who used to Immigrate are coming over now.
Speaking of tho number of women employed In Philadelphia, Miss McCon
nell told mo that 37,000 are engaged In this city alone in domestic service.
This does not take account of the several thousand who nro waitresses.
Now tho adult female population Is, I am told, xomethlng over 600,000.
And about ono out of every 1C of them earns her living by working In somo
ono else's kitchen 1
A Low Profession, She Says
A woman lawyer writing In tho Now Republic deplores the fact that tho
legal profession Is entirely controlled by men. And becauso of their control,
she declares, they have made of It a game that Is not tho cleanest which might
bo played,
"Women lawyers," she declares, "have gradually become convinced that they
do not want success If It means that they must do what the successful men
lawyers are, doing. On the other hand, they are unwilling to give up tho prac
tice of law, because they feel thero must bo somothlng worth whllo In it to do.
"I want to practice law," sho continues, "If It means finding out what
the law Is In any given case, helping to have that case decided by the law, and,
Anally, trying to change the law so as to make It representative of the needs
of tho community. But I do not want to practice law if It means playing a
gamo a. game In which my part is to help my client do what he, sho or it
pleases, no matter what tho law Is; a game, moreover, which Is so expensive
that only tho rich and powerful can afford to be players. So far as I have
been able to judge, tho practice of law today is Just that kind of game. If I
am wrong If thero Is another side to It I want to know It and to get to
work on that side."
In law school, sho says, tho students aro all too busy learning what tho
law is to consider what It ought to be. Skill In outwitting one's opponent,
sho declared, was more to be desired than a clear knowledge of the law.
Hor point of view exemplifies a line Idealism, which I am suro many
men do not find Incompatible with a lucratlvo practice. And, by the same
token, perhaps Just as many men do.
At any rate, I know of ono woman. Miss Florence Ycrger, about whom
I have written In this column before, who has found tho way to success in
tho legal profession without sacrificing any of her illusions. She requires threo
offices to maintain tho volumo of her business. Perhaps It's because she Is
so busy that she has no time to complain of existent conditions.
Snow Babies After a While
The white season is upon us! On every side white sales are being
heralded. Furthermore, the most practical women who shiver at big laundry
and dry cleaning bills are succumbing to the lure of the beautiful white cloth
frocks that Dame Fashion has decreed. White hats have been with us for
some time and white gaiters make their appearance on the muddiest days.
I even saw white rubbers on sale at one shop yesterday. M'LISS.
Letters to the Editor of the Woman's Page
Address all communication! to M'LUa, care of tho Krtninr Lcdier, Write on one
side of the paper only.
Bear M'LIss Please let me have In the column of your next paper a
recipe for cheese ramaklns? c.
Add hair an ounce of flour to one tablespoonful of butter melted In a
saucepan, stir till smooth, then add half a gill of milk and one tablespoonful
of cream. Stir till boiling and then cook for five minutes.
Add two ounces of grated cheese, yolks of two eggs, salt, pepper, a dash
of paprika and a. bit of grated nutmeg. Remove from the fire and stir in
the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs. Pour into the ramaklns. Sprinkle
crated Parmesan cheese over the top, bake In a hot oven for 15 minutes.
Dear SI'Llss I am a young woman 18 years of age. I have left school and
at present have nothing to do but stay at home and try and make my own
clothes and help around the house. My father thinks I am still too young to
go around with young men. I don't want to deceive him all the time, but I
want to have some fun. What would you do about It? JUST A GIRL.
I shouldn't deceive him. Talk to him. Persuade him that the kind of
young men you want for friends are the kind he would approve of, Even the
most Irascible fathers can be made "to see the light" If It Is properly pre
sented to them. Never go out with a young man who has not first called at
your house, and who Is not known to your father or your mother.

CERTAIN of our friends who do not al
together approve of us Insist that
they wouldn't have us "doctor a sick cat.'
We crava their Indulgence for Intruding
these simple remarks about the doctor's
own cat. Surely a doctor Is entitled to
mistreat his own animal.
Well, Tom Is a giant and a royal house
hold pet. Without ft purr or proiesi o
has submitted to a nine months study
which, we think, has not been entirely
barren of results .
On one meal a day Tom has a pulse
rato of 100, feels well, lazy, affectlonato
and contented with himself and his treat
On two meals a clay, ono being milk, the
niher mixed food from the tabic, tho heart
beat Is lfl) per minute. Tom Is rather Ir
ritable, sometimes ugly. And wo have
somo reason to assumo that his liver trou
bles him at times.
On threo meals a day, two of them con
sisting of meat, Tom exhibits a need of
a good cholera mixture, his pulso rises to
130. his heart is Irregular and In other
ways ho shows evidences of a marked tox
emia, or, as It Is better known, autoin
toxication. So we put blm back on the original ono
meal a dav plan, and presently he Is him
self again friendly, docile, lazy, good to
tho chlldien.
Wo haven't tho slightest doubt that If
wo kept on feeding Tom with an excess
of animal protein meat, etc., not reallv
noeessary for him. he would have a scries
of fits and die, nnd wo would be wonder

tho authority thus to set aside a city
ordinance? If they have, why go to tho
trouble of emitting ordinances? Why not
lcae everything to tho discretion of the
magistrate? To enact laws and then
allow them to go unheeded, or bo set

both tho law nnd the law making power
Into contempt.
If, as Is claimed, magistrates not only

not Intelligent citizens, who realize the
ultimate effect of lawlessness, eombino
