To the Editor of the Evening Publlo Ledger: Sir I !ine seen considerable written In your People's Forum criticizing married women for wurklng, and Arms for employing (hem. I want o ray In answer that there ire many reasons why married women work. I am sure If It was put to tho test the majority would huve a real good reason nnd oould prove that they do not work merely tt satisfy a eeldsh feeling of vanity but fte an object, nuch as keeping ahead of exprsos or to have a little bank account 1th hopes of owning a nloo home of their own some day. And what la pleasontcr for a wife thart to feel that sho has helped, it It Is only a little? Perhaps soma day all the mlases who ob. Jeet now will bo put to the same test. What lll they do? Think Just n moment. Will tbey go In debt or stay at u standstill when they know they can help a little? As for thcs who work to dress Letter than their neighbor, and also to havo a pet dog on a eash, I have nover met this kind. I will not say there Isn't such a peraon, for I do not know. But I do think that when a woman has deno her work at home and then troti off ' earn an honoat dollar, sho Is nlmost too t.red to run around with a poodle -'ow, something else. Do not the married 'men make as good aaleladles hs the sin gle one? They ure courteous, nctlvo and iiotient What moro Is neccn9ury In salea larthlp'' And. again, who was It who helped to nerio the public when factorhs wre pajlng elrla large wages during the ar and ulhco? It was the married women tall they wore prosperous how many sin gs girls thought of the stores? We all 'mow that thoro are a lot of people out of rork or on short time, but married women's Itshnds are In th sarno boat, nnd we hae o llvo. Why holler? lllo the women Tlt I think they deserve It It Is a iard road to sueccst. Why not help a de serving husband? I' E L Philadelphia.
