neighbocs might be willing to buy
them from their hiding places and sug-
gested it to her daughter. Fortunately
the daughter had learned that such
things were in demand among the
Northern boardears at the large hotels
in a fashionable winter resort near
them.
She took few of the best quilts,
and, trudging a distance of nearly five
miles, offered them for sale to the
ladies ut the hotel. The prices theJ
paid made her open her eyes, and when
they asked if she had any more, she
invited them, with all the unconscious
independence of Georgia cracker, to
call on her mother and take their pick
of the others.
Her invitation was accepted that
same day, and, before the week ended
they had not only sold all the old
quilts that they would part with, but

they have worked up a trade that pays
them snug sum each year, and

NOVEL Ways WOMEN
EARN MONEY,

What the wideawake American wo.
man can do when she makes up her
mind is exemplified by the number who
are making good incomes in little fields
that, II not new, were untried as a way
to earn living until she by her en-
terprise proved that it could be done.
Two young girls in Massachusetts,
are completing their professional edu-
cation with the money earned by the
sale of old fruit baskets and crates.
One is ambitious to become a violinist
and the other a teacher in the puhlic
schools. For the last two years they
have earned $500 year. which accord
ing to their own division, gives them
$50 a month each, and which they say
is quite enough not only to pay thei
educational expenses, but to give them
a small surplus to put in the savings
bank, against the ending of their
school days, for European trip.
They collect the baskets and crates
from the hotels and apartment houses
in Boston, and after cleaning them
with preparation of their own dis
covery, sell them to fruit and vegetable
growers in the New England and
Southern States. They first thought |
out and began the business when they |
were twelve years old, and have been |
working at it for four years. They
expect to continue it for four wears
longer and then to turn it over to a
younger sister, that she may have the
same opportunity of earning her edu-
cation.
They claim that there is money to be
made by such work in all the large
cities OF the country until the time
when the grocers and fruiterers follow
tho example set them by the brewers
and offer rebate on their wares for
the return of baskets and crates.
In Georgia a mother and daughter
have earned enough by the making of
quilts to pay off the
mortgage on their farm and restock
it with the best blooded animals and
the most improved implements. The

Another unique profession is that
OF professional escort for young girls.
| The woman who does this for her
living declares that she fell into it
quite by accident. but having discov-
cred it and learned its advantages.
she is quite willing to continue 1t for
some time to come. The girls whom
| she escorts are all friends, and she
takes them all to school in the morn
ing and returns them to their homes
in the afternoon. Matinee days they
go the theater together, and other
days to the museums or other places
OF interest. or even for walks.
She never has to pay for her own
theatre tickets or her own car fare and
yet sees every thing. She is paid a
certain amount a week for each girl
and has Sundays and evenings and
large part of each day to call her own.
Besides. she says that she often re-
ceives so many presents from her girls
and their mothers that she is at loss
to know what to do with the articles.
Last year she was the recipient of
three new coats six gowns and quite
as many hats, all new and from the
hest makers. As she wished to show
her appreciation by wearing them all
when she went where the kind friends
were expected, she said she had much
ado to keep tab on who gave what
and when she last wore it.
One young woman from the South,
coming to New York for an artistic
education, became discouraged owing
to the number of students that seemed
pressing on each Others heels in the
art schools and the clubs, determined
to return home and look about for
something else whereby she might
hope to earn her bread. In noticing
the difference between New York and
things Southern she was impressed
with the dearness of holly and mistle-
toe as sold in the streets, whereas
they had so much Of it on the farm
from which she had come that it was
considered a nuisance.
1t gave her food for thought. and
when she returned to her Southern
home she took with her orders for
carload Of the two berries to be deliv-
cred the following winter. With this
end in view she tended the holly trees
and all the oaks bearing mistletoe
that grew on her parents farm. with
such success that when her carload
came in it brought the highest price
paid for those two greens that winter
in New York.
The next winter she was overrun with
orders, and now has not only bought
other land for the holly and oak trees
on 1t, but has acres of the young holly,
all her own planting, and is tended

In this way she has created a mar
ket for feathers that formerly went
begging and were to be found in great
punches in the negro cabins in that
section. She uses only one tail on the

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

Ohios political situation will become

The fight for the organization of the Leg

of strength of the two factions in the State

site which will be allotted to Illinois for
its building and exhibit. for which $50 D.ca
has been appropriated. a special committee
from the commission waited upon William
H. Thompson. chairman Of the Committee
on Grounds and Buildings. but from what
could be learned last night nothing posi-
tive resulted from the Interview.
Mr.. Thompson received the committee
with courtesy but stated that he had Moth
ing specific TO offer. He said that the De-
partment of Works. in conjunction with
his committee, was now engaged in per-
fecting the general arrangement of the
site, with regard to locating buildings. and
that the Illinois allotment would be made
within the next few weeks. Mr.. Thompson
said that the Fair would be opened in 1903.
