WOMEN BILL COLLECTORS.

A Profitable Occupation for Girls and
One That They Enjoy.
Bill collecting is new job for the wo.
men of this town. One of them came in to
see Broadway business man Friday and
telling about it he said: II had heard that
there were few female collectors in New
York, but had never met with one 1t is
good idea, itAseems to me. If man had
presented that bill q would have delayed
paying for a few days, until had made my
own collections. But she came at me in
such quiet, business like way that had
nothing to say, and went right up to the
desk and drew check for the amount"
One of these collectors, an attractive
young woman, talked freely of her occupa-
tion. II enjoy collecting bills very much"
she said. 81 have plenty of outdoor exer-
else and the experience of meeting new
people every day is pleasing"
"Are you confined exclusively to business
housesP"
"Oh, no, go to the residence parts of
the city. There I have little amusement,
which quietly enjoy. The servants meet
me at the door with silver card servers and
ask for my card to take up to the lady of
the house. This was at first somewhat
embarrassing and I resorted to business
cards, but that plan did not work we'll.
Word would be usually sent down to call
again. I had to drop that programme, you
see. Now when the servant asks my
name l say no matter, or something of the
kind, and usually get to see the person l
want to find Often the lady of the house
thinks an old friend has called and has a
surprise in store for her. She rushes into

a face beaming with expectant delight.

this way"
"Are you successful among business

Business men nearly always pay with
promptness. Occasionally meet a crank,
but the downright kickers are hard to
find"
The fair collector said that she had been
accustomed to bookkeeping. On throwing

happening to present itself, she took it as
an experiment, thinking that something
better would follow, but she was delighted
with her new business and did not mean to
leave it.

Abouy Towels.

First of all, have plenty of towels. Com
fort and cleanliness depend upon it. You
can better afford to go without any orna-
ments whatever than you can afford to
have a scanty supply of towels. 1 have
visited where there were not enough, and
been most uncomfortable. After one or
two lessons learned to carry two or three
towels in my trunk, although it is pleasant
to add that l seldom have to use them.
Have them of good size. They are
more satisfactory and wear enough longer
to pay for the difference in original COST

enough of linen surface to dry upon. A

ROCKING THE BABY TO SLEEP.

Just when the night shadows hover,
Just when the dew falleth down,
Just when the bluffs brightly over
Gleameth a crescent, a crown;
Just when the crickets are chirping,
Just when the gold stars out peep,
Sweet it's to sit in the twilight,
Rocking the baby to sleep.
Oh, the dear little hands that are stirring
In tired and tender unrest!
Oh, the murmurous voice that is purring!
oh, the head cuddled close to my breast!
Floateth in fragrance of flowers
Sorrowful swift the tears leap
Sad tits to sit in the twilight,
Rocking the baby to sleep.
Hush for the white lids are falling,
Hushl the rose lips are apart,
Hush for hear q voice calling
Deep in the heart of my heart:
'Trust your lamb to the Shepherd,
Trust him your treasure to keep"
Hush lest you waken the baby,
Hush for the baby's asleep.

necessity, its continued use is to be likened
