50 VERY day some woman is trying
II some new avenue toward the &C
II cumulation of a bank account, or at
C least little extra pin money.
A French woman, who has a most ar
ttstic little home, found herself with more
time on her hands than she knew what TO
do with. All of her friends admired the
artistic arrangement of her home, ana
one day one of them asked if she would
object to going over to the friends nome
and rearranging the furniture, for every
thing looked so stiff, although she had
plenty of pretty things.
Such a success was made by the young
French woman that she concluded 1t
would not be bad idea to see what she
could do for strangers in this way ana
make a little extra money. She adver-
tised to do busting and artistic arrange
ment "by the hour" She had several an
swers, and her customers were so pleased
that they recommended her 10 tneH
friends until now she has all she can 90.
Another young woman of refinement
does mending, reading, writing and shop
ping by the hour for an invalid, and mas
herself most genially employed. PERSONS
who do not care to employ companion
constantly find this pleasant plan- rms
young woman finds she can serve three OF
four customers every day and still nave
her evenings at her disposal. She is Tree
to come and go, and the change of en-
ployers she finds most interesting.
Another young woman thoroughly in
structed in the art Of china painting,
finding that 1t had grown old fashioned,
discovered a new way in which to apply
her art. She makes a business OF replac-
ing broken pieces in fine sets OF CHINA. All
she needs is one of the other pieces, ana
she can match 1t so that no one can tell
the difference between the fine imported
china and the hand-painted copy unless
his attention is especially called to IT,
Still another young woman has found
way TO fill the slender purse without leaY-
ing her own home. She was le1t an or
phan but with a houseful OF furniture
She managed to fill up the bedrooms with
sroomers." but still she found the rent
burden. She had three large pariors run
ming the full extent of the house, with
archways and folding doors, so that the
first floor could be thrown together. Ihese
were handsomely furnished, but she never
entertained, and she conceived the idea or
allowing other people 10 entertain In her
parlors.
Her friends were told of her plan, and
they were only too glad TO avail them
selves of the opportunity. She now mas
to figure pretty closely to arrange tor ali
the card parties, club meetings dancing
classes and afternoon teas when oemaho
the use of her pretty rooms. She mas
small dais in the back parlor for the use
of a lecturer or for amateur theatricals,
while the orchestra for dances is stationed
in the large hall.
This young woman soon found that
everybody demanded refreshment of some
kind, and so she added catering to her
other business, and now serves anything
from tea and waters to full course DIN
ner Persons who live in small apart
ments, poorly arranged houses or hotels
find this a most convenient arrangement
for they escape all the trouble or get
ting ready for company and the disagree
able task of Cleaning up" afterward
