Women ssenosrapnsrs.

AT the present time one Of the most
popular professions undertaken by wo-
men is stenography; after that, type
writing. Miss Jennie Turner. who.w was
a student and friend Of Ben. Pittmali.
was the first women stenographer who
reported references in Law office. Miss
Fannie Sprague, sister Of the author Of
"An Earnest Tr.fier," followed Miss
Turnes. Th,re are now about a dozen
accomplished women stenographers en-
ployed in lawyers offices. whereas ten
years ago there was but one. Many Of
moderate ability aud skill combine type
writing and short. hand and lind posi-.
tions without difficulty. The type
Writing field is rapidly becomisg oyes-
crowded. There are nearly thousand
women learning to operate. Probably
half of these are combining sienography

screws. and you will be forgiven for the
loves sake found therein by the dear

trinket carved for sale in the Sor-

shaky as to your German declensions in
the Schiller Club, which you Join so en-
Enthusiastically after leaving school. and
yet no great harm ever come OF it; but
teach Schiller for living, and for every
slative case forgotten you are SO much
money out Of pocket.
People who pay for thing demand
thorough workmanship or none. To
offer incomplete work for complete
market price, Is to be either cheat or a
begesr. The terrible grinding laws Of
supply and demand, pay and receive.
give uHu Ett, kNe uO quarter

When you have entered the world OF
