cupy editorial positions are not dis
eliminated against, receiving as large
salaries as men who occupy like
positions. OF the Philadelphia women
in journalism, Mrs. HaIlowelI, of the
Ledger, receives the highest salary.
Mrs. HallOwelPs experience in editorial
work began fifteen years ago. when she
was managing editor of the newspaper
published by the wOmen's- eX-
ecutiye committee during the centennial
exhibition. AT that time the women
reporters, working from 10 in the morn
ing until 6 in the evening, amid the
pleasant surroundings of the centennial
grounds, received SIS per week. Cor
respondents were paid s. per column,
equivalent to $40 or S12 for the ordinary
newspaper column. Mrs. HallOwell, as
managing editor, received $50 per week.
In the medical profession women have
made rapid strides during the past few
years. DR.. Clara Marshall, dean of the
Woman's Medical college. and practi-
TONER of repute, probably receives the
largest income. DIR. Hannah Longshore
and DIR. Harriet Sartain are the pioneer
women in the procession, and both
enjoy large and lucrative practices. DR..
Anna BroomallS practice, in the opin-
ION OF a professional friend, is worth
fully $4,000 year. DIR. Amy Barton
and DIR. Hannah Croasdale receive on
an average $4,000 a year from their
practices.
In dentistry the field is not so fully
occupied. Women dentists are greatly
in demand for the steady care of chill
dren'S teeth. and many women prefer to
patroniZe skillful female dentist. The
pioneer is Dr.. Hamburger, who has re-
tired from active practice
DIR. Mary StillWali is n vOuDr dentist
who is rapidly gaining favor. She
made 5000 i'll her first year OF office
practice, which would have been re-
markable showing for young lawyer
or doctor of the male persuasion. In
her second year her income nearly
doubled, and has since been rapidly
growing.
Miss Minerva Parker occupies the
proud position of being the first and
only woman architect in Philadelphia
rOr young WOman-she is not over
twenty-six years of age-Miss Parker
has met with unqualified success, and
already she is making her $4,000 year.
Miss Parker has designed numerous
country houses, in which she has shown
remarkable skill and originality. The
new Century club house at Twelfth and
SAMSON streets, is her most pretentiouS
work, although she has been selected to
design the principal pavilion of the
woman's exhibit at the worlds fair-an
honor which she carries with becoming
grace and modesty.
In the fields of literature there are
several Philadelphia women whose pens
yield them golden harvest. Prom
lnent among these are Mrs. Rebecca
Harding Davis. whose novels and short
stories have been widely read for veal S ::
Miss Agnes Repplier, than whom there
are few keener or more appreciatIve
students of literature, and whose es-
says have charmed thousands of book
lovers, and Miss Louise Stockton. sister
of the inimitable author of "Rudder
Gran Ze," and herself story teller of
no mean ability. Both Miss Stockton
and Miss Repplier are identified with
the New Century club, and are actively
interested in woman's work generally.
Miss Emily Sartain, as representative
of the art element in Philadelphia,
stands at the head of her profession.
As principal of the School of Design for
Women. she has raised the standard of
that institution wonderfully. She is a
daughter of John Sartain, the we'll
known engraver, and not only paints.
but etches and engraveS, a variety of ac-
cOmpllShmentS rarely found in WO-
man.
There are thousands of women i'm
Philadelphia who, i'll less prominent call
lngs, receive lucrative salaries. These
include cOmpositors, stenographers,
librarians, secretaries, school teach
ers, besides the vast army of shop girls
and heads Of departments in the large
mercantile houses. As rule they all
receive good pay. with the exception of
Saleswomen in the retail stores.
Another Philadelphia woman, and
who receives liberal income from her
chosen profession, is Mrs. Alice Barber
Stephens. Her principal work in black
and white is done for the Harpers. She
gives instructions at the School of De-
sign, and teaches private classes as
well
