But at the turn of the century this was the costume worn by the young woman entering the new world of office work. Once the office girl married she re- tired again into home life. Today the situation is far different. There's even a new career superimposed on the ac- cepted office pattern -- tem- porary office help. Many mar- ried women now wish to keep on working to supplement the family income or, with their children grown up, to provide freedom with her Turkish-style| trousers.
