There is still to be found with some thoughtless people a weak and childish prejudice which causes'them to consider that a woman of any social rank has stepped down in the scale of her being if she opens or enters a shop and stands behind the counter, measuring, cutting, doing up parcels, taking money and making change. To the mind of these people—if they can be said to have a mind, or at any rate to use onein this rela- hope com- .tion—the act is as much beneath 7 This space reserved for Jos. E.

Certainly we can imagine few things more praiseworthy in a woman than a determination to earn her own living, to live her own life, to meet her own expenses, if she is nota person of independent means, but has to be supported by others, whether or not the others work for their own living as well. And to our own mind it is far more unworthy for a woman to sit down and be supported by another than it is for her to support herself in any honest manner whatever. Meanwhile, as every one cannot go into trade, for want either af the capital or the faculty, there is already indeed from the outset that sort of aristozratic stamp to the occupation, as compared with others, which, if that is what is wanted, ought to be a salve to the feelings of those hurt by what they have thought its plebeian character.—Harper’s Bazar. - She set other 45 his hat politely and walked back for more fiowers.
