THE BUSINESS WOMAN.

1t was In 1862 that Gen. Francis E. Spinner,

in opening the government departments to
the employment of women. The civil war
was at it's height and every able bodied man
was needed in the front of battle for the

time said Gen. Spinner. The first legal tend
er notes had been issued; they were printed
employed to cut them apart. with shears.
Gen: Spinner maintained that women could
handle the shears more deity than men,
him experiment with women employees. The
first one engaged was Jennie Douglas. and
her first days work settled the matter in her
favor and that of womankind. Other women
were employed. The men left, and the wo-
men took their places.
Soon, however, a machine to cut the money
was invented, and the women were dis
charged. Gen. Spinner now convinced the Off

Wrinkle cloth, the bodice having a yoke

like so many OF the best, fastens in

which the stitching is kept so much in

stamped. The skirt was simple but
full.

also at the root of that bitterness of feeling

cannot be pardoned on the ground Of af-
