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. HallOWell, 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

respondents were paid s. per column,
equivalent to $40 or Sl2 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 DR.. Harriet Sartain are the pioneer
women in the procession, and both
enjoy large and lucrative practices. DR..

ion of professional friend, is worth
fully Sl2. 900 year. DR.. Amy Barton
and DR.. Hannah Croasdale receive on
an average $4,000 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 StilIWpll is vOuDU dentist
who is rapidly gaining favor She
| made 5000 in her first year of office
| practice, which would have been a re-
markable showing for a 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.

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 far-an
! honor which she carries with becoming
| grace and mOdesty.
In the fields of literature there are
| several Philadelphia women whose pens
| yield them a golden harvest. Prom
! lnent among these are Mrs. Rebecca
| Harding Davis. whose novels and short
| stories have been widely read for yeal
Miss Agnes Repplier, than whom there
| are few keener or more appreciatlve
| students of literature, and whose es-
says have charmed thousands of book
| lovers, and Miss Louise Stockton. sister
| of the inimitable author of "Rudder
| Grange" 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 eugraver, and not only paints.

cOmpliShmentS rarely found in Wo-
| man.
