Among the novel occupations Of the
feminine breadwinners of the land
none are more diversified and un-
usual than those undertaken by the
fair ones of the southern states who
have been cast by fortune upon their
own resources. In one of the small
towns in Florida resides the only
woman saddler in America. Upon the
death of her husband, instead OF sell
ing the good will and fixtures" as
her neighbors kindly suggested. the
widow carried on the business, with
the help of an assistant. Gradually
she mastered every detail of the
trade and finally succeeded in build
ing up the most lucrative business of
that kind in the county, not only
maintaining the standard of work
done by her husband. but long ago
outstripping him in thrift and pros
