By ELIZABETH TOOMET L'nted Press Correspondent New York (U.R) The woman of 1956 will be sur rounded by less mystery than any female in history. Never have so many statistics been stacked up in a single year on supposedly unpredict able females as we accumulated in 1955. About the only thing statis ticians haven't tried to forecast is women's moods. And even this subject was touched on by one government study group in 1955. Women are jittery, the study group reported, and likely to remain jittery until they define their role in man's life and quit trying to be career women, mo thers, civic leaders and glam our girls all at once. A woman may not have the foggiest notion what she is go ing to be doing in the next 12 months, yet the facts show that: Likely To Be a Bride If she is 20 years old she is likely to be a bride in 1956. Her bridegroom will be three years her senior, according to the law of averages. This young bride will continue working after she is married and will have at least one child in the first three years of mar riage. She is twice as likely to have a family of four children as her mother was, The life ex pectancy of her children will be approximately 70 years. She is likely to do clerical work in an office than any oth er job, since this field employs more women than any other. Her earnings will average $1000 a year less than her husband's, although her salary will make ger Mystery; Gathered it possible for them to furnish their first home in new contemporary-designed furnishings. May Be Dominating The office where she works will be dominated by women three women to every man. She has more chance of dominating her husband than grandma had of dominating grandpa. Nine out of 10 husbands reoorted t.hpv "helped with the housework. Ihe average woman of 1956 will not be extravagant with clothes. She will buy four new dresses. She is healthier than her husband,' but she will have four head colds. Women past 40- are more like ly to return to work in 1956 than ever before, even if their husbands still are living. The number of working women past 40 has more than doubled in the past 15 years, and it con tinues to increase. Age Proves Barrier Unless she is professionally trained, however, the women seeking work at the age of 40 will have trouble. Clerical job openings usually specify "under 35." However, several major companies are instituting spec ial hiring programs for over-35 women. One in every 10 women in 1956 will carry the major fin ancial responsibility for the family. And one woman in every four past the age of 55 will be a widow. fc iiiria- Grapefruit Z gjpp8P Slower T 10 mmS o Nice White Heads - iibe Tomatoes GAINES DOG FOOD 2 27e STANDBY PEACHES ur9e 2z ca 33c KLEENEX pink or white, 400 count box 29e Your FAVORITE BEVERAGES and MIXERS for your New Year's Party ake Your "One for the Road" MJB COFFEE lb. 97c 0 o o o rr enderloin Steak Choice steer E II 1 B esn Leg cr rom - heddar Cheese rmei nam HAPPY NEW YEAR!
