vice about the best way to get work.
3 replied politely, inquiring what kind
of work she had fitted herself to do,
nnd asking if she knew how to sew,
or teach, or keep books, or typewrite,
or clerk.
Sho wrote back that she knew how
to do none of these things, but that
■what she had thought of doing wan
to get Mrs. Russell Sage, or Mrs.
Helen Gould Shepard, or Mrs. Bel
mont to lend her a few thousand dol
lars, and with this she thought that
nhe could make a fortune by estab
lishing a lounging room in Wall street
fitted up with luxurious couches on
which the brokers could recline after
lunch while they sipped Turkish cof
fee and smoked cigarets.
I replied to this letter by assuring
lier that In the first place no philan
thropist, however generous, was lend
ing out money to strangers to start
lounging rooms. Also that, In the
eecond place. Wall street brokers
didn't lounge and refresh themselves
nor sip Turkish coffee In business
liours. That they gulped down a
glass of milk and sw'ollowed a piece
of pie whole, nnd kept their attention
glued on the tape instead of dreaming
of hourl.
My correspondent then wrote that
ehe had read of a woman who came
to Now York and made $5,000 a year |
by going from house to house taking
care of canary birds, and that she was!
very fond of canaries and thought this
woul' be a nice opening for her.
To this I replied that I feared the |
fortunes to be made by taking care ;
of canary birds have been somewhat'
exaggerated, as every one took care j
of her own canaries, or had already |
paid servants who did so.
Nothing daunted by this discourage
ment, niv correspondent wrote that |
if I didn't think well of this plan she ,
would be willing, for suitable re
muneration, to arrange the furniture |
in rich people's houses, as she had
beard that that also was a lucrative I
occupation. i
i replied that doubtless it was fort
years of time and thousands of dollars
In preparing themselves for the pro- j
fession. Put that I doubted whether
thcrfc w'ould be much of a struggle ;
for the services of an individual j
whose sole personal acQUaintum o .
with furniture consisted of a know

Superfluous Hair j

that never falls to remove all signs of

Igestlng designing cut paper patterns,

J stories, and other fool stunts too num
j erous to men-get-rlch-quick schemes
| that Involve terrible struggle of the
(great city, and how all but the strong
lost and best trained lighters go down
I under it. I told her of the loneliness
|of the city, where her heart would
[hunger and perish for companionship
! away from her home, and all who
j had known and loved her. And then
I I asked her why she didn't try to
•make money by doing the things
1 right at her hand, and suggested
! chicken raising as an occupation
•that she could carry on without leav
ling home and by which she could
Imake money.
To this I got a very tart reply, say
ing that evidently i had never raised
chickens, and I don't know how much
work there was involved In doing so.
"To make chicken raising pay."
wrote my irate correspondent, "you
have to watch them carefully all the
time and feed them regularly, and I
don't want to do anything that is so
laborious. I want to make money
some easy way."
Every word of the foreglving is
true, and while this young woman is
a somewhat exaggerated example of
what women expect in the working
world, she is fairly typical of the hun
dreds anct hundreds of girls who are
lookip" for a pay envelope that comes
to them on wings.
There isn't a mall that does not
bring me a dozen letters from women
asking me to help them get work, and
when I ask them what they can do
the reply is—nothing. They haven't
fitted themselves for any occupation,
and you can't make them realize that
they are In the absurd position of
wanting people to pay out god money
without getting any return for it.
They don't comprehend that labor Is
a commodity just as much as potatoes
or apples, and that when you go to
offer your wares you must have some
thing to soil.
I wish there was some way of mak
ing girls understand that the job
where there is light work, big pay,
short hours, and where no previous
training or experience is required, is
just as much as a myth as the pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow. It is
a hard and bitter truth that there is
nothing for nothing in this world,
and in the labor market, as elsewhere,
you must be able to deliver the goods
to get the reward.
And this is especially true in the
city, where there is no place in the
fierce competition for bungling am
ateurs, where nobody has time to
teach ilie inexperienced or bother
with them and they are cast out to
die of starvation and despair, or else
they take that downward path that
leads to worse than death.
This is the day of the expert. There
is no room now for the bungler, the
amateur, the unskilled and the un
trained worker. The woman who
wants to support herself must fit her
self for some specific job, and she
must make tip her mind to give hon
est service. That is the only way to
succeed, and the quicker women find
it out and quit dreaming the better.

at the feet yet the fullness above allows
freedom for walking. It can be made with
high or natural waist line and the girdlg
can be or finished with an up

one view is an exceedingly smart one but
one could make this skirt from any fash

cotton crepe or it could be made of one
material throughout or of any combina

of special need. If the double tunic
proves too full for the figure, the lower
one can be omitted. Whichever of the
many possibilities is decided upon, the
skirt is certain to be smart and satis

best. The foundation is cut in one piece,
straight widths of the material being
joined to give the necessary width, ana
