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.
