TRIALS OF A WOMAN. 8HE WHO TAKES THE TICKETS AT THE PICTURE 8HOW8. Ifer Taste, While Wrrve nnrklnir. In. rites a Rtndr of Rom of the Curl, ona Phases of Hainan Katar That at Tlmri Are on Drrii Pfirnde. As a rule the yonnff woman who take tickets at the picture exhibition Is an art student herself. The other V'rls tryliift to earn money envy her and think she has a "soft thlnR." It Is apparently easy enough to be the ticket taker at a picture show. All there Is to do. apparently. Is to alt In a roomful of pictures, take people's tickets as they come In and sell cata logues. "You would be surprised to see how much work It Is," snld a girl who takes tickets at one of the big exhi bitions. "You have to keep your eyes open all the time, for there are a larjco Dumber of people who try to run past without tickets. I have to go after people a dozen times a day, call In 'Ticket, please.' and they turn on uiu with an Indignant stare. Most of them then ro and buy tickets. But one well dressed woman the other day took up her lorgnette, looked me over from head to foot, and snld In an Icy tone: 'Ticket! I have oo ticket r and proceeded calmly on her way. ) ran "after her attnlu. i " 'Madame,' I mild. 'I shall hava to trouble yoo for a ticket.' 'rJ? 'I have already told you 1 bad none,' 6!u said. " 'I'm afraid you will have to get !one,' said 1. 1 was beginning to be afraid I should have to get a 'bouncer' to put her out, for I was determined she should not go In without paying. Zjjriiflt Is what I'm hero for, and I am cousolwitloUH. Well, at last she flounc ed out to the ticket otHco, bought her ticket and put It down on my desk, saying: .v' 'Vhat an Imposition!" I "That Is one sort of the people I have to deal with. Then the other Is the kind who wish to borrow a catalogue for a minute and keep It the whole aft ernoon. 1 have to be very stern about catalogues. The best way Is to polite ly look up whatever picture Is asked for and to absolutely refuse to let r.;;.v one take n rntulogue for a moment. One nice old lady took mo at my word, and I really believe she asked me every single number In the room. I did more than 1!5 cents' worth of work for her. I can tell you. The worst Is telling people the price of pictures. Aft ter about six weeks of It It grates on one's nerves. This Is what continually happens: A threadbare old gentleman conies to the desk: " 'Do you know the price of pic tures?' be asks. " 'Yes; would you liko to know the price of any?' I reply. " 'There Is one In the other room,' he says. " 'Whnt Is the number? I ask. " 'I can't tell you the number, but It's In the other room.' "Then I have to send him for the number. " 'No. 221.' " That Is $500. " ''Why? asks my old gentleman. "If It's early In the afternoon. I ex plain to him that I suppose the artist tblnka It worth that; that be Is well known, or what not; later I Bay. 1 don't know.' Not ono person In 50 of those who ask the price have the slightest Idea of buying. Some will go through half an exhibition and In sist on knowing the prices of all. I get so tired of being polite and affable to all these people that by the time I get out In tho evening I am ready to Insult my dearest frieud for the sake of being rudo to some one. It's so hopeless telling the price of a picture over and over again and each time having the people exclaim, 'What an awful price!' "A great many people bold me per sonally responsible for the pictures. Lots of people come and talk very dis agreeably to me about them. 'What makes them have such bad shows?" they ask me. Young men come up and say, 'Uu't this awful trash?' In an accusing sort of way, aa though I had done Itsall myself. And one man fairly shook his flat In my face and demanded bis money back. It's a swindlo!' be shouted at me. But it really wasn't my fault 1 "At private exhibitions It's different There people come up to me and say, 'What a privilege to sit among the works of the masters all day!' 1 don't tell them that if I sat among the works of the masters much longer 1 should go mad, but I would like to. "The other day a friend of mine took my place. A man came up to ber and asked: " 'Miss, is your picture among these works of art?' " 'Why, no,' she replied. "He stood off a little way and squinted at ber. 'It should be you are worthy of it. Did no ono ever tell you you bad a beautiful profile? "That was a little startling, coming from an utter stranger. Later alio learned that her admirer was , the well known photographer. Of course bo bad been looking at bor through an artist's eyes and from a purely ur tlstlc standpoint and bad meant no offense Dut It was trying." New York Commercial Advertiser. Vltm at Weddings.
