oc es Business Girls as a Farm Women's bureau in the de- partment 'of agriculture. Néw York city has more woman Wage earners than the total popula- tion of Washington, D.C. At the Home Economics conven- tion last week in the course of a dis- cussion one of the women deplored the growing desire of Canadian giris for a business life evidently under! the impression that "it would spol them for home makérs Does 1t? Do business women make good wives? In former {inies, when the field for women's activities was much moré limited-than it is at-present; the answer would probably have been an immediate and overwhelming | "no;"" but now, when almost every braneh of business is open to women, the subject must be studied in con- nection with the new conditions. } What kind of helpmate will the! business woman make? Will her business experience render her a bet- ier companion and more efficient home maker, or will it unfit her for the position of wife? Because of the lingering influences of old preju- dices, may are ready to say that the latter will be the case, that her ex- perience in office or shop where she dally comes in contact with many | people will cause her to be dissatis- fied with the duties of home, and its more limited. horizon. But this view, hardly takes inte account the lessons she learned in business life. One of the first lessons that a sug- cessful busines woman learns is fo weigh propositions carefully, to look at a question from all sides, to con- sider the disadvantages of the case as well as its advantages, and then make a decision. then that before she remoufices her busginess life for the position of home maker she will very carefully con- sider the various phases of that posi- tion, from a practical as well as from a sentimental standpoint, 'and hav- ing made her decisioh i will be be- cause she has assured herself that the portion of wife, with its duties as well as pleasures, offers her a more satisfying field for action than does the business world. Having arrived at her decision by the sounu reasoning of a disciplined mind, it is not probable that she will thereafter become dissatisfied. Some of the other lessons learned in a business life are those of patien- ce, forbearance, perseverance and practicability.
