overlooked, from the fact Of it's SEEM
ing insignificance. These girls being
two Of the best stenographers in Chica'

National Committee at headquarters,
and much OF the most important work
has passed through their hands. There
were times when Mrs. Jamison held
her office alone, assigned the speakers
and secured their rtransportations. Con-
sequently, the young ladies have many
friends among the best and brainest
men Of the United States. The stenog-
rapher has an independent position and
her work is indeed Indispensable, and
cOlored girl in Chicago who can do
the work, and doit we'll, will have very
little trouble In locating herself. Com

Several years ago. said Mr.. l.. Ugh
ton. Il saw statement in a magazine
that there was at that time, $500 600
600 in the United States, invested in
greenhouses and things pertaining to
the flower trade. The business has
grown to astonishing proportions, and
like most trades has been subdivided
50 that one man, nowadays, does but
one part. The shoe manufacturing
business, for instance, has been trans
formed 50 that while one man made
pair Of shoes from start to finish, years
ago, in cur factories Of the present
day, each man does but Il small part.
In the florist business one man culti-
Yates and raises the plants. another is
engaged in the business # making the
frames upon which the floral designs
are built. while another makes the de-
signs themselves. Each part Of the
work is trade in itself and requires
very much skill ana taste to be prop
