Women As Clerks.
Women are being largely employed as-clerks' in France as well as in England. At the Bank of France nearly J2OO women sit at the desks, and receive three franc's a.day each, or'about £40 a year; and: at the Paris oilices of the Credit Foncier, where also there is a large staff of women, the remuneration, beginning at three and a half francs a day, rises in some cases to 4,000 francs, or £160 a year. In, both houses the hours of attendadce are from 9 to 4, and the male and female clerks work in different rooms, the women being superb, tended by officialf of their own sex. This is eminently satisfactory to the women, ]but tKe men are beginning to cry outj that their places are graduajly being taken .from them, and there is already gome talk of jhe formation of a kind of jiades union pf men cjerks, who wilj gpare no efforts to effectually boycott all employers of female official clerical Www.'','
