Some "Woman's Work."

Women in America, it is thought, are now engaged in men’s occupations to an astonishing degree, but the innovation seems to be carried still further in Europe. In Germany, Switzerland and Holland wom»n take part tn the labors of agriculture. They till the field, cut the com and gather the crops. On the streets of Munich women are employed to keep the car lines clean and they are specially uniformed for the purpose in short skirts. Bavaria being well supplied with forests, wood is largely used for fuel and along the curb of Munich’s streets women frequently sell their firewood. In Zurich the railway stations have women ticket agents and women are custodians of museums in many foreign capitals.
