TIME story of a woman in New

ers of her own sex.
The woman is Mrs. Jennie Moar
Packer, bookkeeper, stenographer and
typewriter and, especially, expert ac-
countant. Very quietly and modestly
she has lived her life and done her
work, and it is solid, noble work, not
fuss and feathers. For thirteen years
Mrs. Packer was bookkeeper in the Of

ton was sold and went under new

had its own bookkeeper. Mrs. Packer
was out of employment. But while she
was keeping the Critics books firm

with her and her work. They knew she
was an accomplished accountant. just
such a one as they wanted. She was

fore she was in the Office of the pam

spent there, quiet, faithful, perfect in
her work. as always. Then the pam

A receiver to wind UP the business
was called for. The judge to appoint
the receiver was Justice OGOrman.

as fair and chivalrous TO women as
his name indicates. He appointed Mrs.
Packer, as being familiar with the
firms affairs and better able TO adj

Thereupon Mrs. Packer took charge Of
the bindery, books, work and en-
ployees.
The order of the court empowered the
receiver TO Finish contracts at her dis
cretion." Mrs. Packer not only conclud-

Teaching the Art of Embroidery.

Another girl made her business the
teaching of embroidery in fancy and
original stitches to the piazza and rock
ing chair element. The making of we'd
ding presents was her speciality, and
she had a large class of pupils who
gathered around her in the shady angle
of the great hotel piazza and stitched
contentedly through the long. lazy sum-
mer afternoons. As an additional at
traction she hired a young woman to
read aloud the latest novels.

Then there is a pair of girls I heard

There was a deserted schoolhouse near

this and arranged it tastefully with

LAUNDRY WORK FOR SERVANTS

A young wife who can afford to keep
servants should not be mean in respect
to their laundry bill. Il is a sore point
with maidservants.
The allowance varies slightly, accord
ing to the amount the servants are al
lowed to do for themselves at home, as
it follows naturally that if time, soap
and other essentials are provided less
money is necessary for the limited sup
ply of work sent to the laundress.
A woman Of tact is one who feels
that the story told to hurt your feelings
