“How Shall I Sara a Living! "

After studying this question thoroughly we recognize 4he fact that at present there seems tsi but very few unoccupied fields or aveuues for women. Noticeable among these are the medical profession, and the higher S grades of domestic jhjrvice. Jn the Irst place, however, think no one should think of adopting medicine as a profession simply, feley as a business. We doubt if any substantial success can be achlevfed by one wba does not enter into tße profession as into an unselfish philanthropy. In any view of the caae we would not advise any woman who does not naturally love the frofeesion, who is unwilling to gife the beat thought, study, hours and of her Ilfo to professional duties, to enter upon the study of medicine.
