WOMEN'S WORK.
«» It" has been remarked by the London Graphic that although women succeed in most things they undertake, they are no good, at least in England, at commerce. This observation does not hold good in France, where many of the large winegrowers, sugar-factories, and other important concerns are in -the hands of women. In the shop, too, they take an active part, are up early and late, display great- intelligence and capability in all branches as well as bookkeeping. In England women seem to take a second place. , ,ThereJ are .no female' .Liptons, Harrods,^ or ..Basses,.' whjle even linendrapers' shops are generally managed and controlled by men. .Women's business capacity is certainly not sufficiently developed. It is also asserted that no well-kept hotel or club is managed by a woman, which seems on the face of it a paradox, for surely woman is the born housekeeper, and hotelkeeping is only -» home on a large scale. As itlis, the men step in everywhere and usurp all tffe purely feminine employments, as dressmakers, hairdressers, cooks, and - Hitanag-ers of ladies' clubs.'
Briggs: "What's your idea of heaven?" Gtfigg.s : "Well, it's the way a man feels the first three days after lie is home * r 4m. a summer vacation."
