Must Wive* Be Self-Sopporting ?
American women are ceasing
to find men to marry thom un-
less tliey are self-supporting.
This is tho startling deduction
made by tho United States bu-
reau of labor in its last report.
Tho marriage rate among wo-
men who work and among wo-
men with money is much higher
than among wom«tfflBp^r are
neither workers norrich, and
the disproportion is annually in-
creasing.
All rich women, according to
the statisticians, have opportu-
nities to marry and generally
speaking all working women
have equal opportunities, but the
women who must depend on ser-
vants to do household work and
m their husbands to supply all
the household income are being
lrivcn from tho matrimonial
tield. Fewer than one-half of
them marry now, and the per-
centage is steadily diminishing.
Nin'e per cent of tho married
women of the United States
work for wages apart from the
performance of their household
luties. Twenty three per cent
idd to tho household income by
aking boarders. More than one
raniily in live has its children at
.vork. More than per cent of
.he earnings of the average
American family comes from the
abor oT the wife and the chil-
dren.
The old type of American who
supported by his own earnings
lis wife and his children, whose
nome was his own and who oc-
supied an independent place in
,he community, is disappearing.
Marriage is becoming more and
noro a commercial partnership
