A young woman. who has recently
taken the decree of electrical engineer,
Is now employed by the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company,
OF Pittsburg. Both she and her brother
are employed in the mathematical de-
partment of this establishment and
both display phenomenal mathematical
abilities. The sister and brother are
very highly esteemed by the heads Of
the company and regarded as valuable
employees, but 1t has been noticed that
college education has impaired grace
and polish to the girl, while her brother
remains somewhat rustic. though a
bright and thoroughly likable young
man. This is only another indication of
feminine adaptability and gives added
proof that clever woman has a wider
brighter future than a clever man Of
