Gypsy SOCiabie.

The Gypsy sociabie given by the ladies
of the Cong'l church on the pleasant
grounds this side OF Henry Rablin's
residence was largely.atEended. The
cool weather made the sale Of ice cream
and lemonade very slow, but coffee and
sandwiches took their place. The young
ladies were dressed in Gypsy costumes
and had several tents in which they told
fortunes, traded horses, etc. Mrs. O.
Dennis, acted as Gypsy Queen, in which
she needed no training. Her costume
was very becoming and she needed nc
war paint to make her a fac smile. All
those present enjoyed very pleasant
evening.

There has been much indignation

When a woman appears accompanied
By man she finds that she must take

Establishments for women and IL has be-
come so popular there are likely 20 be
many others. II looks queer az hrst TO
see 8 line OF women sitting az counter

Mra GraoF Tells Why she aud Others

About a year ago the sun printed q
story about woman who was a COM
merclal traveller. She was a success In
her work. Her name was Adele NJ.
Graef, and she was sin drugs" as they
say on the road.
The other day Mrs. Graef called az
the sun office and asked 70 see the re-
porter who had interviewed her last
year. What she had TO say Is OF interest
because il shows the AacTltg with
which some women take sdvantage OF
every opportunity to go into new
branches Of work, and also the readi-
"a 70 employ women
IN competition with men.
''Sincs that article appeared in the
Sun" said Mrs. Graei. 81 have trav-
eled an over this country, aRd every
where have found evidence that the
story Of my work had been read. l
couldn't tell you how many women
have applied 30 my own firm. They all
said they never thought Of that way OF
earning money until they read the arti-
Gle in the Sun. The firms themselves
took I'D the idea. One that l know
right here IN New York engaged five
women on trial, and some OF them are
still az work. Another firm 10 this city
sent out a woman who has proved very
successful. On the road I meet two
women travelling FOR ST. Louis firms.
Both secured their places as direct
result Of the influence Of that article.
These WOmeR, you must remember,
are Ell travelling for the same line OF
goods that l carry, druggists special
ties. There are others In other lines.
There is no reason why women should
not dnd commercial travelling q source
OF good income, but very few OF them
understand that il is extremely hard
work and that a woman who would sue
coed 40 Il must have a good constttu-
ton. a stout heart, and q clear head.
Given those requirements, there Is no
reason why women should not compete
with men 10 this profession, as they
have in others, and come of with good
share Of the profits and che honors.
