WOMEN AND CAREERS.

QUESTION OF MARRIAGE. BUSINESS IN THE HOME. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 5.5 p.m.) AMSTERDAM, July 30. The question of how a woman shall marry and still follow her career was discussed at the conference of university women. Mrs. Gilbreth said she believed the woman who is completely satisfied is she who has both a career and a home. Young men and women about to be married should learn how to plan out their lives. They should run their homes as they would run their businesses and allot to each member their individual tasks. Dr. Elizabeth Baker, of Columbia University, said a long training for their life work had not yet become the philosophy of women. She described the progress made by nursery schools where the care of children, in the absenco of their parents, was carefully studied. The conference was then adjourned. When interviewed after the adjournment by a representative of the Daily Express Mrs. Whyte, the New Zealand delegate, said: "We do not encourage women to work in my country. They should not do so unless it is necessary." The French delegate said: "Women work in France when they are married because it is economically necessary. But it is not a good tiling." Dr. Ramsdadt, of Sweden, said there was an increase in the number of married people who continued working in Sweden. Sometimes these marriages proved to be failures.
