From the Chicago Chronicle.
When necessity became the mother
of invention it taught women to utilize
her fertile brain in urNtSng schemes for
self support and more often the sup
port CT dependent family. Every day
some woman tries SOME new avenue
for accommodating bank account, or,
at least, at little extra pm money.
French woman. who has most
artistic little home. found herself with
more time on her hands than she knew
what to do with. All Of her friends adj
mired the artistic arrangement of her
home, and one day one of them asked
if she would object u going over to the
friends home and r,Hrrangng the fur
niture, for everything looked so stiff,
although she had plenty of pretty
things.
Such a success was made by the
young French woman that she con-
cluded it would not he bad idea to
see what she could do for strangers
in this way and make little extra
money. She advertS@U TO do busting
and artistic arrangrment by the
hour She had several answers, and
her customers werr 50 pleased that
they recommended her TO their friends,
until now she has al she can do.
Another young woman OF refinement
does mending, reading, writing and
shopping by the hour for an invalid,
and finds herself most congenially en-
ployed. Persons who do not care to
employ a companion constantly find
this a pleasant plan. This young wo-
man finds she can serve three or four
customers every day and still have her
evenings at her disposal She is free
to come and go and the change of en-
pleyers she finds most interesting.
Another young woman, thoroughly
instructed in the art If china painting,
finding that it has grown old fashioned,
discovered new way in which to ap-
ply her art. She makes a business of
replacing broken pieces in fine sets of
china. All she needs is one of the
other pieces, and she can match it so
that no one can tell the Difference be-
tween the fine imported china and the
hand painted copy unless his atten-
ton is especially called to il.
Still another young woman has found
way to fill the splender purse with
out leaving her own home, She was
left an orphan, but with houseful of
furniture. She managed to fill up the
bedrooms with "roomers, but still she
found the rent burden. She had three
large parlors running the full extent
Of the house, with archWays and fold
ing doors, so that the first floor could
De Throw toSeIHef. lHtSe were lldliel-
sOmely furnished, but she never enter
tanned, and she conceived the idea of
allowing other people to entertain in
her parlors.
Her friends were told of her plan and
they We're only too glad to avail them
selves of the opportunity. She now has
to figure pretty closely to arrange for
all the card parties club meetings,
dancing classes and afternoon teas
which demand the use of her pretty
rooms. She has a 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 a full
course dinner Persons who live in
small apartments, poorly arranged
houses or hotels find this a most con-
venient arrangement, and they escape
all the trouble of getting ready for
company and the disagreeable task of
cleaning up afterWard.
