ODD WORK FOR WOMEN.
New Modes of Earning a Livelihood
Devised by Victims Of "Genteel
POverty."

OF the beaten path ana make some idle
accomplishment the basis of a paying
vocation. One young woman uptown
who in the past learned to make lace
as fad now puts it to practical use
by repairing old and priceless laces.
She carries what may be called kit
of tools, including lacemaker's pill
low, full set of threads and various
kinds of needles, and restores an in
jured collar or an ancient fichu in
the presence of the owner. The work
is exceedingly difficult and the reward
correspondingly high.
Several women have taken up index
ing. Their patrons are people who
keep scrapbools, and who are too
busy, or, as is more often the case, too
negligent, to index for themselves.
The work is slow and laborious. T.
demands wide literary knowledge
and often knowledge of French and
German. The pay is moderate, being
usually three dollars day.
Artistic and fancy bookbinding is
practiced by eight or ten women in
New York city. This is skilled trade
of the highest class, demanding both
technical skill and artistic ability.
Two of the binders have done such
good work as to make them moderate
ly famous.
A Vassar girl with a penchant for
| chemistry found herself thrown upon
her own resources three years ago,
and adopted for her daily work the
giving of instruction to members of
her sex upon the subject of cold
cream. To the uninitiated this seems
very simple matter, but in truth it
is very complex. 1t involves knowl-
edge of the various fats and oils, in
Guiding spermaceti, cocoa butter, wax,
japan wax, almond cream, lanoline.
and such medical ingredients as ben
zoin, camphor, myrrh, carbolic acid,
sulphur, arsenic, zinc and white lead.
Women who contemplate a foreign
tour or who are to receive distin-
guished foreigners are often at a loss
respecting the etiquette of European
countries. They can get out of their
trouble by taking a course of lessons
from teachers who have lived abroad
in days of wealth. At least ten bright
young women have taken up derma-
tology with special reference to the
hair and scalp. They visit their pa
tients the same as physicians and earn
a handsome living. At least two in
this city clear more than $4,000 year
Restoring old photographs gives
profitable employment to number
of women who have become experts
in the use of the camera. It does not
pay very well in general, but now and
then, when there is strong family love
involved, it gives very handsome re-
turns. One successful woman inlays
