There is a line OF pr motion open to the
shop gill who can wait courteOusly on
Gust mer. One of the largest drv go ds
houses in Brooklyn has a woman for It's
general superintendent. The hist ~ Il
tlls woman's rise is instructive to those who
complain sales women have Invariably long

When first engaged, she was placed at

partmenU was observed. Everything was
kept in better order, and she was
not only attentive to bus ness herself
but her example and her tact improved the

the book department with increased pay,
and here the same results followed. From

department into which she came Finally,
by natural progression and by the law OF
the prom Jtlon Of the fttest, she became
managing superintendent, with general
oversight Of everything and big salary.
There are not many women who have the
gift Of controlling pleasantly and tactfully
any great number of other people, but the
women with this executive talent are Il
most invariably sure to rise. Mrs. Sophia
BraeJnlich the business manager Of the
Engineering and Mining JOu nal, is one
Of them. The whole discipline Of the large
Office Is in her hands, aud business men who

which makes them good clerks but less

responsibilities.
That the Association of Collegiate
AlumnR is coming to be recognized as
standing for the ccllege-bred women of this
country Is sho vn by the fact that the last
official circular Of the Association FIR the
Education Of Women in Oxford contains
the statement that graduates Of colleges in

alumnR, o. $. A., are admitted without
flrtner condition to the honor examinations
at Oxford University. The association now
has more than 1000 members, the large,t
number residing IN any one state being 252
in Massachusetts. New York comes next
with 21S, Illinois third with 95, Penn
sylyania fourth with 90, California fifth
with Go, then Michigan with so;
New jersey, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin,
the District of Columbia and Connecticut

There is no 5 ate which is unrepre seltel,

verslty study of $50 per year, under
charge of Mrs. Chri tine Ladd Franklin, of
Johns Hopkins university, and an American
fellowship for postgraduate study in this
country. The University Club in New
York, which Is social organization, is its
most recent and most charming outgrowth.
To make tea before the open fire is per-
haps, at present, the most fashionable way.
1t is very pretty, especially at twilight. aud
when you Fl ID really clever hostess she
doesn't draw her curtain and light her gas
before the guests arrive, but she lets it get
a trifie dusky, and then she kneels on the
hearth in the Pickering freight and the
flames dance on the wall d make flicker
Ing shadows in her hair. A very commo =
place face becomes positively charming in
such a picturesque attitude; there's nothing
like it for displaying hand OF an arm. The
newest tenders are provided with cranes for
holding tea kettles, AMI the device is mucn
cleyerer than the samovar. They make tea
regularly at the University Club in this
way. Z. p. II.
