GIRL TYPEWRITERS.
Their Sudden Prominence In Business
World and Their Importance.

Just why the writer's of jokes should
continue to direct their attention to the
typewriter girl is hard TO understand
The business world acknowledges that
she is a necessity, and she is in the
field TO stay. There are thousands of
young women in New York supporting
themselves by typewriting. and the
number is increasing by hundreds
every year. says the Sun of that city.
1t is impossible TO tell just how many
there are for they work Independently
of one another, and have no kind of an
organization among themselves.
A quarter of a century ago such a
thing as a woman stenograDher was
unheard of. The manufacturers of
typewriters found very slow sale for
their machines, and it is said that it
was at the suggestion of one of these
that women were induced TO learn
shorthand and to manipulate the key
board. His suggestion was carried out
through the president of a successful
business college, who had been closely
associated with the pioneer who sought
TO promote business education in this
country. Girls at once took TO short

Eccentricity Means Vanity More Of

lit would be interesting to know how
many people experience within them
selves a struggle not to be what is
called odd" writes Kate UpsOn Clark
in the Woman's Home Companion; and
then she goes on to tell of an eccentric
young acquaintance who ''reVeled in

middle of the night, sadd.ed her pony
and took long, lonely rides. She dis

animals. rejoicing in the shrieks OF the
other girls for the sake of shocking
whom she doubtless INDUCED her
whins. She carried little snakes around
in her pockets. Finally she became
engaged TO a man whom she had
known only two days, and was mar
ried TO him within a week. 1t is not
strange that after living with her hus-
band less than a year they were di-
vorced. Then, with a broken heart,
which has its use as an antedote for
'oddity,' she retired with her caprices
to an upper room in her fathers house,
and the outside world heard little more
from her.
1T is quite worth while for parents
to consider when they find oddly
cropping out in child, whether his
little fOibles are not cherished by him
as much through a desire to make him
self conspicuous, to show off, as from
a spontaneous and irresistible impulse.
Oddly is thousand times oftener
mere Stiffness and vanity than genius,
and all the common sense in the family
may well be brought to bear upon its
destruction.
'One of the chief accomplishments to
be taught the young is what the clever
author of the Petite Estate calls the

There is one notable characteristic

Many typewriter girls have chances
