From the CINCINNATI 1lmeS-SL6r
A tall, stout woman, with fresh COM
plexion and big brown eyes, walked up to |
clerk Fields, at the Gibson Office, yester-
day and inquired after an express package
which she had been expecting. As she
moved her right hand big diamond gilt
tered and cleaned in the electric light.
'That," said Mr.. Fields, impressively,
after the lady had walked out of the main
entrance to Walnut street, sis Mrs. L. E.
Stewart, and is travelling saleslady for
ladies' underwear house in New York city.
Her expense account is one of the largest
in the country, and the orders that she
sends in TO her house make the managers
get up and buy another diamond or prom
Use a sealskin cloak"
From talk which TSmes-Stdr man
had with Mrs Stewart, he fully believes
every word that Mr.. Fields said concern
ing the lady She enjoys the distinction
of being the leading lady drummer of the
country, and carries her honors lightly in
deed. There is delicious brusqueness. a
what might be easily called masculine mai
vete, about her that is impressive and at the
same time charming. She is thorough
business woman, with just enough of the
feminine tenderness to make her an Ideal
common-sensed woman.
This talk about women not being able
to travel alone is all bosh," said Mrs.
Stewart. 'iHere I have been travelling for
the past FIVE years, and have yet to see
the man who has yet grossly lnsulted me.
1t all lies in the woman. If she is de-
termined and plucky she can go through
the world as easy, if not easier, than man
traveller. You see, there is a certain gal
Iantry about a man which is certain to ex-
hibit itself when in the presence of a
woman, and naturally, therefore, | get a
great deal of help and kind attention on
my trips"
"What should be the main requisite in a
good travelling saleslady%'
Hustle" was the terse rejoinder of Mrs.
Stewart, and she gave it with pleasant
smile ''Ifa woman is endowed with that
one quality, why demme-excuse me, but
l don't believe in mincing words-she
ought 70 get along. There is a big differ
vence between cheek and nerve. The first
Is pure and unauthorized brassiness; the
second is clear-cut, scintillating go-ahead-
ativeness. The first has the effect upon a
customer of causing him to lose respect
for the saleslady, the second is the surest
seed to raise the plant of admiration. l
know I'm not cheeky, and demme-excuse
my language-if / don't think I've got
the right kind of nerve"
"Mrs. Stewart defined nerve and cheek
very WE'LL" remarked clerk Fields, "as we
hotel clerks have reason to know. For in
stance, some time ago there came female
stenographer to the hotel in company with
an old railroad manager. She was just be-
yond the blushing side of %, and possibly
was in the shadow of the thirties. She
was given good room, and then the
trouble began She wanted fresh ice
water ten times day, kicked at the meals
growled at the miserable weather, took
ofense at the merely cursory glances o.
half hundred travelling men, wagged her
tongue viciously at the delay of the eleva
tor, grumbled because there were no matt
nees at the theaters on Friday, remon
strated in no mild tones with the house
keeper because her room wasn't tidied q
few minuter after she arose from bed, and
a hundred other things well calculated tc
make hotel guests and employees feel that
there were more disagreeable things ir
life than an insurance agent or persistent
borrower. Now, in the face of all this
what DO you suppose this girl told me in a
dence?
"'Mr Clerk said she, Il hope you dom
mind any annoyance l may have caused
you, for l am woman of the world, lef
an orphan quite young, and I've imbibet
goodly amount of nerve
81 recovered from the blow by the lib
eral use of tonics and cold water"
WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN PROVIDED
FOR.
-"Good wife,, what are you singing fol? Yot
know we've lost the hay
And what we'll do with horse and kye, is more
than can say;
While, like as not. with storm and rain, vel
lose both corn and wheat
She looked up with pleasant face, and an
swered low and sweet:
There is a Heart, there is Hand, we feel bu
cannot see;
We've always been provided for, and we shall
always be-"
He turned around with sudden gloom. She
said; Love, be at rest;
You cut the grass, worked soon and late, you
did your very BEST
That was your work; you've naught at all to dc
with wind and rain,
And do not doubt but you will reap rich fields
of golden grain:
but cannot see;
We've always been provided for, and we shall
always be.
''Thats like a woman's reasenin; we must be
cause we must.
She softly said: Il reason not; only work anG
trust.
The harvest may redeem the hay, keep heart
whateer betde;
When one door shuts. I've always seen another
open wide.
There is a Heart, there is Hand, we feel bu
cannot see;
We've always been provided for and we shall
ALWAYS be.
He kissed the calm and trustful face; gone wa
his restless pain.
She heard him with a cheerful step go whist
ling down the lane,
And went about her household tasks full of
glad content
Singing to time her busy hands, as to and fri
she went;
There is Heart, there is Hand, we feel, bu
We've always been provided for, and we shall
always be-
Days come and go, twas Christmas tide, anC
the crate fire burned clear,
The farmer said: Dear wife, il been gooC
and happy year;
The fruit was gain the surplus corn has bough
the hay you know
She lifted then a smiling face, and said: 81 tolC
you so.
For there's Heart, and there's q Hand W,
feel, but cannot see;
We've always been provided for and we shall
always be-
