Choosing Your Work
By DOROTHY I>IX
The school year is over now and
thousands of girls will be face to
face with the problem of choosing
some trade or profession by which
they can earn their own livelihoods.
To these girls I want to give one
bit of advice, and that is this:
Capitalize Your Sex
In choosing your work pick out some
kind of woman's work for which you
have an intuitive aptitude that is the
Inheritance of your sex. Thus shall
you follow the line of least resistance
and gain the maximum reward for
your efforts.
Thousands of generations of women
before you. your foremothcrs, have
cooked, sewed, and swept, and dust
ed, and nursed the sick and taken care
of children, and they'have bequeathed
to you a knowledge of these things that
Is in your very blood and your finger
tips. Scientists call it the inheritance
of acquired characteristics, and it
means the things we know how to do
without being told, In contradistinc
tion to the knowledge that is foreign
to us. and that we gain through blood
and sweat.
The enormous advantage of fighting
on her own ground a woman throws
away when she enters into the mascu
line field of labor. There she is al
ways at a disadvantage, because she
has neither a man's physique, nor a
man's instincts about his work. At
best she Is only an imitation man and
all imitations are poor stuff. Even
her successes along masculine lines
are but the successes of the dancing
dog—not that she succeeds so well,
but that she succeeds at all.
As to the Arts
Of course we read In the papers
accounts of women who have done all
sorts of things—lady longshoremen,
and lady steeplejacks, and lady pilots,
and bronco buster queens, and so on,
hut there Is probably not one of these
women whose exploits have been
equalled by gome perfectly ordinary
man. who wasn't even considered a
head liner In his trade. Assuredly
if she'd put an equal amount of time
and strength and punch in some femi-'
nine line of work would not have
reaped a thousand times better re
ward.
The fine arts, music, and sculpture,
and painting, and acting and writing
are of course, a "no man's land," in
which there is no sex, but even in
these women are most successful
when they stick closest to their own
sphere.
The world will remember Sarah
Bernhardt for her Camille and not
her L'Aiglon, and Maude Adams for
her Lady Babbie and not her Chantec
leer. We want our women singers
to sing contralto and soprano, and
not bass and baritone, and women
writers are more interesting and con
vincing when they confine themselves
to Interpreting the mysteries of wo
man's heart and the feminine psy-

chology than they are when they at
tempt to write like men and make
guesses at what men think and feel.
The woman who elects to follow the
arts does best when she sticks to her
petticoats, when she paints or writes,
or acts from the woman's point of
view, and thus capitalizes her sex and
her sex knowledge, because In so do
ing she gives to the world something
that is true and vital, and new, for
women are just beginning to express
themselves and the world is curious to
know the secrets that have been so
long locked up in the women's souls.
In business It is even more im
portant that a woman should work her
own side of the street. Instead of
crossing over and entering into com
petition with men. So much of the
best paid work in the world Is es
sentially feminine that a woman Is
throwing away her inheritance if she
abandons it for other fields.
Take a knowledge of color and of
fabrics, for Instance. It take years
of study and cultivation and hard work
to enable a man tell the difference
between the pastel shades of pink and
lavender, and between charmeuse and
crepe de chine, but any girl child can
do It. with the bat of an eye and the
twist of a finger. Yet merchandising
was for years wholly in the hands of
men.
Money in Millinery
There are fortunes to be made in
millinery, in dressmaking, in schools,
in keeping boarding houses and ho
tels, arid women should monopolize
these professions because they belong
to her hereditary calling of home
malting and rearing the young. They
are women's sacred sphere. She has
allowed man to invade it and take
away the capital prizes, but it's up to
her to recapture her own again.
Therefore I advise every girl who
is confronting the problem of earning
her own bread and butter to capitalize
her sex, and to choose an occupa
tion in which the mere fact of her
being a woman will give her an ad
vantage over her male competitors.
Remember sex may be a help as well
as a hindrance in business, and the
wise woman is she who makes it an
asset Instead of a handicap.
Nor need any girl feel that her op
portunities are, circumscribed by con
fining her activities to woman's work.
Let her not forget that women have
the spending of most of the money
of the world. Furthermore the things
that women should purvey, board and
fripperies, are the things for which
money is most freely paid.
The girl who chooses millinery or
dressmaking as a trade and starts out
to be an artist in her line, or the girl
who chooses to make .of herself a
chef, or a boarding house keeper with
an ambition to rise to the top of her
profession, Is as sure of success as
anything human can be. She capi
talizes her sex, and cashes in her in
herited knowledge of sewing or cook
ing that has come down to her from
her woman ancestors.

matter of course, there are numberless
materials that can be used. In the snia!'
front view, wool poplin is used with
bands of satin ks the only tiimming and
with a very good result, lor cvery-day
frocks of really hard usage, no better
materials than the gabardine and poplin
could be suggested, but taffeta could be
used in this way wi'fc trimming of faille

sions as one material of another is used.
