Are the doors to be- thro win. open to women to fill every avenue t<f labour ? if they are, what is to become c$ mere iEian ? Is. he to fee consigned to the homo, to do the waehiing and mending? At the present time the offices m ,tho largo townß and cities ate filled with women, while comjpetent ma'!o clerks, some of whom are heads of families, are -walking tihe Streets. There is mo wonder that we hear of a dearth of domestic servants when women are being diverted frt>m ■their lraturail pursuits into spheres wfliich rightly belong to the sterner sex. The Wbodvillo appointment laysthe foundation- for a very interesting discr-issc'cn on tJ:e question of social economics.
