advantage either, for, if you would like to

Mrs. Pollard to Engage in the Brokerag
business In Wall Street, New York.
Wall street brokers are very much in
terested in the rumored application of
Marie Antoinette Nathalie Pollard for
membership in the Consolidated Ex-
change. Mrs. Pollard has employed a
broker to look out for her interests, but
she hopes 5000 to go on the floor and
then she will dispense with his services.
II think" said she to New York
World reporter, that my application
will be strongly opposed, but l have a
great many friends among the brokers
already, and they have promised me all
the assistance in their power. Men do
not like to act as brokers for women,
and many women have delicacy about
going to male brokers. The result is
very unsatisfactory for both sides. The
majority of women are ignorant of what
the broker is doing with their money,
and the broker does not wish to be both
cred with questions. There are more
women who dabble in stocks than you
have any idea of-women who under
stand stock speculation more clearly
and intelligently than the majority of
men. They have quicker perception,
and thus can take advantage of an op-
portunity while man would hesitate
and lose his fortune.
Mrs. Pollard is the widow of E. A. Pol
lard, the historian, and author of the
"Lost Cause" She has travelled extern
sively as an elocutionist and lecturer
and is the author of the drama Ire
lands Independence" She was pris-
oner of war under General N. p. Banks,
of New Orleans, and escaped, attired in
mems clothes. She was secreted in the
swamps of Louisiana for over a week,
subsisting only on dry bread and stale
water. After enduring many hardships
and miraculously escaping death several
times, Mrs. Pollard reached her home
in Richmond TO find it in flames. She
is the granddaughter of the Countess
De Large and the title is hers. She
does not use it, however.

Mrs. Katrina Ettienne does thriving

away at work all day. She wanted to
save little money, and she chose to do
it by selling pots and pans, plates and
cups. 1t is an excellent business for
women, as they naturally know more
about household utensils than men, and
are better able to trade with other wom-
en-.
