EVA WILDER ncGLASSEN

Who is Eva Wilder McGlassen? is a ques-
toin that was often repeated for several
years by readers OF familiar magazines
and periodicals, for the me was an
nexed to some of the quaintest bits of dia-
lect verse, breathing of pathos; or to
lines rich with originality, humor ana
rhythmical metre. All were widely COP
led, and still the writer's personality re-
manned mystery. When a book, Di-
ana's Livery, was published over the
same name, comment became more gen.
eral, the work in question being brilliant
with fancy, indicative of strong touch,
and rejecting a genius that portrayed
most faithfully the characters contained.
Later on the author was found, living
in New York, having. removed from her
western home, part OF her life having been
spent in Ohio, part in Kentucky. Both
states are proud of her. and from what
the critics predict, will have cause to be
even more SO, for steady progress, devo-
ton to her labor, and all absence of ego
tism are the stepping stones over which
this writer will cross the Rubicon to sweet
success. Eva McGlasson is charming in
manner, and possesses both naivete and
frankness; she is modest about her work,
and her progress seems to be almost una
wares, so earnestly does she pursue her
calling.

No finer answer could have been made
to the objections raised in the beginning
that is to say, a few years ago, against
young women taking positions as type
writers and stenographers in the offices OF
men than the rapid multiplication of
them, and the universal satisfaction
expressed at the admirable character Of
the girls and their work. Any one who
has occasion to visit lawyers Office or
the counting-room of business man
downtown in New York City, must be
struck with the number and quality Of
young women employed as correspond
ing clerks, as department book-keepers,
as cashiers, and in other capacities de-
handing trustworthiness as well as
trained capacity. And this is particularly
that which has made them desirable-the
quality of faithfulness, of freedom from
temptation to speculate and peculate, u
certain single mindedness and devotion
to the employers business and interests
which the hardest-headed OF them ap-
preciate.
Yes" said a lawyer not long since, in
reply to question, II am free to say l
have changed my opinion. opposed the
introduction of women into business
offices because l believed it to be impos-
sible in the nature of things. But it
proved itself possible. The first I knew
they were there. The results l had feared
did not follow; the girls fell naturally
into line. proved themselves business
like, asked for no special consideration,
and kept to their hours as we'll if not bet
ter than men. They are now as much
part of the accepted order as the desk
they work upon; and, in fact, we should
not know what to do without them.
They make most intelligent clerks, are
quick to grasp an idea, and require few
words to understand the Special aspect of
a CASE The census of 1870 reported only
seven women stenographers in the United
States. Now the number of persons earn
ing their living by stenography and type
writing is estimated as more than one
hundred and seventy-five thousand, of
whom two-thirds are women. In New
York the fifteen thousand women out of
the twenty-five thousand stenographers
employed is probably low estimate
This industrial competition of women
with men upon their own ground, and
their successful achievement OF equal
place and opportunity, is not the result
OF agitation, but of courage and persistent
energy working against every natural and
conventional obstacle. The result is

the more are the consignors benefited !;
and Mrs. English has their individual
good at heart as sincerely as that of the
Exchange, and works on, day after day,
with will and tenacity of purpose that
is well worthy of emulation.
The Exchange aims to have the best
work in the different departments, and
the departments are many. For instance,
there is the drawn-work department., than
which there is no better or finer, or hand
somer to be found anywhere; needle work
of all kinds and descriptions, from plain
and useful articles, up through the differ
ent grades and varieties of Kensington
stitch and outlining on linen, silk and
muslin; articles for use, articles for orna-
ment, large and small, and medium /;
little devices that have never been seen
nor heard of, but which, on examination,
prove so irresistible that one wonders how
life has been bearable before without
them
Then there is brush work. in oils and

too, of all kinds; and typography, which is
especially fine; delicate porcelain in sets
and single pieces, with really clever and
beautiful decorations IN colors and gold.
Then, turning to the purely useful, there
are jellies and jams, preserves and pickles,
sweet. spiced and sour, bread and cake.
cookies and candy.
In this department, as in all the others,
orders are taken and filled with greatest
care, and special attention is given to
catering for all kinds of entertainments,
from single order of salad or hot entree
to those for whole meals.
Several orders for winter Jams, jellies
and preserves were filled during the fruit
season last year, while the ladies giving
the orders were enjoying vacation from
household cares at the sea side or in the
mountains. and more orders are coming
in to be filled this summer.
In the fancy work department orders
are also filled, for favors for all kinds OF
entertainments; place cards for luncheons
and dinners, and favors for cotillons as
well as dinners and mncheons; some of the
consignors having a special faculty for
originating designs and executing ex-
tremely clever work

She says:
" The new woman, to my mind, is not
as recent a creation as some think her.
AS far back as can remember there have
been earnest, ambitious women whose en-
ergies were concentrated on the betterm emit
of everything and everybody.

She may be assured of one thing-the cor

JANE b. AUSTIN

Jane B. Austin, the Historian of the
Pilgrims" was a native of Worcester,
Mass. She could trace her descent back
to the Pilgrims through eight distinct
lines, besides holding a family allegiance
with the nameless nobleman, Francis LIE
Baron.
All of Mrs. Austin's family took deep
interest in the history of the early days
of Plymouth. Her mother was poet and
writer of songs, her father was a genealo-
gist of distinction and her brother, the
Hon. John A.. Goodwin, wrote The Pill
grim Republic, History OF the old colony
settlement.
Mrs. Austin found her quaint charac-
tiers chiefly in old letters and records, and
nothing interested her SO much as delv-
ing into the records of her ancestors, who
came to Plymouth i'll 1920, and in setting
forth these records with the historical
pictures of other heroes of early days.
Thus it was that she came to write a
series of Plymouth books, to be called Old
Colony Romances. Of this series the first
was Standish of Standish; the second.
Betty Alden the third A Nameless
Nobleman; and the fourth, lie Baron and
His Daughters; the fifth was to have dealt
with the period of the French revolution.
but death, in April, '94, interrupted her
work, and thus the sequence of the Old
Colony Romances will never be finished.
Her other works are the Desmond Hun
dred, Nantucket Scraps, and David Alden's
Daughter.
In 1850 Jane Goodwin married Loring
FL. Austin, whose family was well repre-
sented in the Revolution; and at the time
of her death she was So years of age.
