THE STORY OF A STOCK INVESTMENT.
The story Of this lady, whose name
and bearing have commanded fine regard
and respect wherever known, will serve
to show what chances conspire to thrust
delicate women into unlikely positions in
life. While still in her first youth. and
highly attractive woman. she found
herself with the care Of an invalid moth
cr. helpless with paralysis. For ten years
or more her duty was to see that mother
surrounded. not only with comforts. but
luXuries, while she took upon herself the
care of large and fashionable house
Before going for a season to Europe to
rest. she invested her money in assured
stocks. and SO well placed it, that. as she
said. she never had one hours thought
her absence. The returns from this stock
proved SO satisfactory as to lead to still
further investment. and she was led to
study their character and the workings
of the business to gain an intelligent idea
of it. preferring to depend to some ex-
tent on her own Judgment rather than to
go blindfold by the advice of any broker
The study of stocks is always engross-
ing, and in planning an interest and occu-
patton for the future. this lady decided
that nothing offered a more con.cnial or
profitable career to any woman of means
and of leisure, than the handling of stocks
i'll 4 legitimate and systematic fashion.
Finding many ether ladies in want of
convenient exchange in reach of Wall
street. she has placed her office rooms at
their service. and the little line about
references is to assure them that they are
dealing with a responsible woman. Thu
rooms are as free to clients as any broN
ers Office. Miss Gage is in correspon
encc with shrewd Investigators in +
mining region, who report the best l.
formation to be obtained as to the IL
rect value of mining stocks. Her i'er
este lie with stocks as an investrnt.
rather than as speculation, and her :clli-
ties will commend themselves to pfSons
seeking to place their money in sa' con-
sentative WAYS
