Avenue, we have thirty-five dramatic
theatres in New York and the suburbs,
besides almost as many more variety
shows, concert halls and other places Of
amusement, it is clear that the small
army of stalwart boomers would become
intolerable il permitted. The conse-
quence is that most Of the local manag-
ers have abandoned the practice of send
ing solicitors to the newspaper offices,
but instead mail the particulars of their
plans and such other matter as sthey wish
to have published.
This material is treated differently by
the dramatic editors, according to the
usages of the various Offices. The situa-
ton rs sometimes a puzzle to the press
agents of the travelling companies that
come into town. The majority of these
energetic gentlemen internit their Ia
bors largely upon being informed that
they are likely to do more harm than
good, but the minority do not take va
cation 80 lazily. One of these workers
has this week poetized his usually prosa-
ic efforts. He has sent to each important
journal an original and exclusive poem
in praise Of an actress who employs him.
The verses are smoothly rhymed and
metred and they extol the lady's beauty
and ability with all the enthusiasm of a
knight of old exuberant over his lady
love. None Of hese-efnsions, however,
has yet gained publication. New York

The Demand for stsnographers.


The demand for good, careful and ac-
curate stenographers and typewriters is
increasing, not decreasing A girl needs
to know how to spell and punctuate a
letter, besides being able to correct one
that is wrong grammatically. She must
be possessed of that rare and priceless
quali6cation-common sense. She must
be observing, and she should have an
average amount of intelligence. No
prodigy Is required.
As to wages, the average young girl
cannot expect to be paid as much as the
average man. 1t is hard to say why this
is 30 for she is almost always just as
capable. A young woman for instance
will get ten or twelve dollars week
where q young man of the same caliber
win receive fifteen to twenty dollars.
Perhaps there is an indefnable feeling
among employers that they cannot ex-
act 90 much from woman as they can
from a man. A man will be often re-
quired to do q great deal Of miscellaneous
work in connection with shorthand and

posed on woman.
But there can be no doubt that there
Is still room for those who will take the
trouble to properly equip themselves for
the work. The remuneration is ample
for the needs of the average girl, and
greatly in excess Of that paid for other

sh. writes Love Letters.

Very few people can do what a jolly
old lady who keeps a notion shop on
Thompson street has succeeded in doing
inspiring sufficient confidence in q
large circle of her young male custom
ers to induce them to intrust to her the
writing of their love letters. These
young men are mostly wage earners,
who toil all day, who have horny hands
bat warm hearts, and who have never
become well enough acquainted with
the pan to give them confidence in their
own ability to write nice letters to their
sweethearts.
These young lovers go to the little
shop on Thompson street, and in the
privacy of the quaintly furnished back
room give the pinkcheeaned, > silver haired
mistress of the place general idea Of
what they want to write 'sto de girl.
Then they sit back and play with the
yellow tabby cat and listen to the
scratching Of the-old lady's pen. In ten
minutes the letter is read to the lover.
II it meets with his appreciation, it is
sealed, addressed and posted. Then the
bauahing youth hands the old lady a
silver quarter and goes on his way re-
joicing. New York Star.
