MARRIED WOMEN’S WORK.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l do hope that people of importance will pay no attention to letters written against women who wish to remain at tbe work they were at before marriage. I do not see how such writers can make out that it is better for the colony to lose a skilled workwoman at marriage just in order to make room for an unskilled one. Why should girls enter a profession so crowded that they have to wait a long while for places? And it should be pointed out that although a married woman’s resignation of her profession may make an opening for soma younger person, yet it puts one of us out of a living, and we can less easily afford to bo unemployed than those same younger persons who have the world all before them.—l am, &c,, HOUSEKEEPER.
