woman can do as well as a man. The
women shall have chance" Gen. Spin
ner opened the doors, and now see the re
suit. Uncle Sam employs in Washington
about five thousand women. or one-third
of his entire force.
The women make just as good clerks as
the men, and some observers say little
better They waste less time talking poll
tics or reading newspapers, do not go out
In the corridor to smoke during business
hours, and in summer do not ask TO get Off
thirty minutes before time in order to at
tend the baseball games. To this day Gen.
Spinner is the hero, the idol, the patron
saint of the department girls" While
he lived they helped to make life pleasant
for him. They loaded him with presents on
holidays and birthdays. They surrounded
him with their love and alteration. Every
summer they took him to picnic, all in
his honor, and carried to him the best fish,
the choicest flowers, and wreathed gar
lands for his brow. Those were happy
days for Gen. Spinner, and it is not sur
prising that he said a short time before
his death that the act Of his which he was
proudest Of, which gave him most satisfac-
ton, was opening the doors Of government
employment TO women.
Probably Gen. Spinner himself never
foresaw the result of his innovation. When
he began placing women on the govern
ment payTolls he did not imagine that in
twenty years or so a thousand women
should be employed in the treasury alone,
nearly as many more in the pension Office,
and large numbers in the patent office,
census office, in fact in every department
Of the government, even in the war and
navy offices, and the Capitol itself He
could not look ahead and see women draw
ing three or four millions Of dollars Il
month from the public Golfers for services
rendered.
The women Of the departments are of all
ages and from all the walks Of life, as well
as from every state and territory in the
Union. Old and young, beautiful and
bomely, work side by side, and side by side

with the men, too, without harm to them
selves and with good influence upon their
masculine companions. What is better,
these women are on the same level with
the men rs regards pay and promotion.
They draw the same salaries for the same
work, are classified in the civil service
without distinction of sex, and are protect
ed from political interference. Happily
the days in which politicians bartered Tin
auence" for feminine flesh and blood are
at an end, or nearly so. Occasionally one
comes upon au instance of barter and sale,
of violation of the laws of God and man
in the departments, but one may find
quite as many such cases in private life, in
mercantile and professional circles. The
only discrimination made against women
I'm the departments is in the matter Of pro
motion to the chiefships of divisions. Nat
nrally these posts are filled by men. Eigh
teen hundred dollars year is therefore
the highest price paid to women N govern
ment employ, Five or six women are re-
ceivin-; this salary, and earning it, too.
In the treasury two women, Miss Seavey,
of Tennessee, and Miss Van Vranken, OF
New York. draw $3.50 month, They are
unmarried, and have been nearly quarter
of a century in the internal revenue diyis-
ion. They are so expert in their fields that
they have been promoted over the heads OF
most of the men in the bureau. Another
81 800 clerk is Miss Ada Tanner, daughter
of extension Commissioner Tanner, who
is a confidential clerk in the treasury. Five
women in the treasury get 81, 600 year, 81
81. 400, and nearly 100 draw ST. a hun
bred are paid $1,000 a year, and nearly 4oO

is true. generally speaking, Of other de
partments, though the number Of women
clerks is greatest in the treasury. Ihe
only places in which women are not given
an equal chance with men are the bureau
of engraving and printing and the govern

work of these concerns the men draw the

and the hours are anything but onerous.
Light work from 9 to 4, with half hour
! for luncheon, frequent holidays and thirty
days leave of absence every year, is not a
task calculated to undermine the strength
even Of delicate woman. Some of the
women clerks in the treasury keep car
riages and are middle aged danes. An
employe in the third auditors Office is as
sisted by liveried footman to alight every
morning at the treasury steps from a costly
brougham drawn by a pair of stylish.
horses. Many of the department girls
marry, but in few cases do they leave the
service.
Often the husband is also a government
clerk, and with two salaries they manage
to buy "A handsome home and employ
plenty of servants.
There are plenty of marriageable girls in
the departments, pretty but practical
creatures, capable of supporting them
selves and husbands, too if necessary-just

meets. At the luncheon hour, while the
men clerks are rushing out to the res
taurants or saloons, many pretty groups
are formed by the girls, who manage to
subsist on an apple and cracker, and who
bring forth novels or fancy work to mix
with the gossip Of the moment.
There is plenty of romance in these de-
partments. For instance, in the depart
ment of justice works beautiful old lady,
a typewriter operator, who was once the
reigning belle Of Washington society. Her
hair is as white as snow, and her face full
Of the charm of refinement and matured
comeliness. Her eyes are still bright and
magnetic, and many a maiden might envy
her her complexion. This lady, Mrs. Runde,
lette, was the daughter of commandment
Of the Marine corps. Her husband was
surgeon in the navy. As maid and wife
before Che war no woman was more courted
or admired than she. Her mother, Mrs,
Nicholson, was reigning belle in New
York half a century ago.
