A Lady's Experience In New York Fiji
teen Years Ago.

offices down town in New York were
unknown. When she first came east
her husband was not SO prosperous as he
il now. and she determined to act rs his
bookkeeper while he went abroad ''hus-
Ting" for the business. The owner OF
the building in which the office was re-
fused her permission to do 50, rs If 1t
had been proposed to bring a leper or
smallpox patient into the house. She
went to see him, and begged and pleaded
and brought credentials to prove that
she was the propere.t kind of a woman.
He could see for himself that she was a
pretty one. II was only her own hus-
band whose Office she was going into,
and the business would be apt to go to
ruin if she did not thus take a hand.
Finally this eminently respectable gen
| tleman went around to the other tenants
Of the Offices in the building, and asked
them one by one il they would move out
in case he permitted Mrs. Blank TO enter
the walls of that sacred masculine struc-
ture. They considered the matter and
concluded to stay. and for several years
my friend went regularly TO the Office,
taking often her little girl with her and
keeping her all day. And now there is
scarcely u down town Office Of any i'm
portance that hasnot one OF more women
in it as typewriters or clerks of some
kind. Many of them earn SlS and $50 a
week, often more.
