quently when learned Frenchmen frowned
upon the microbe-gathering robe their fair
countrywomen began to consider whether
the terrible short skirt might be adopted
without endangering feminine beauty and
grace in the eyes of man.
Now, if an American woman had made
up her mind to wear a short skirt she
would simply get one and put it on,
whether she were long or short, stout or
thin. Not so her French sister. The ques-
ton would necessarily be sat up with
nights, so to speak, and the doubtful gar
ment considered from every possible view
point. Here is what noted Partisan fash
ion authority says:
The question before us at this moment

AN ODD OCCUPATION
HOW AN INVALID MANAGES A
LARGE BUSINESS.

Written for The Evening Star.
This is what one little woman. a sickiy
one at that, accomplished in an occupation
which was certainly an odd one for wo-
man to undertake. She runs an ,xDresS
business, and runs 1t uncommonly well.
Many men have run express businesses,
and it is conceivable that some women
could do equally well but this particular
proprietor of horses and wagons manages
her affairs largely from her sick bed. Hers
is curious case, indeed. SO situated few
women would have had courage enough to
attempt more than the management Of
their medicine bottles, but that sort of life
did not suit her energetic mind whatever
her body had to say about ii.
This woman express manager inherited
the business from her husband. He had
made some money; at least, she might have
sold her horses and wagons and lived the
life of a sofa invalid. But she knew some
thing about her husbands affairs, and felt
that she could run the business quite
well as 1t had been run in the past. Instead
of selling, she bought. Her management
was strict, and she watched details care
fully. Her first thought was merely that
she could keep the business at the same
level as before; but she soon proved herself
a better manager than her husband Her
patronage increased, and steadily her staff
through the street and are known of all
men, but few suspect that the surname
paint ed across their great sides belongs to
frail little woman. who, likely not,
is in the doctors hands at the very mo-
ment.
Women are energetic and can attend to
detail, but it is rare that one possesses
the executive ability necessary to run
great business without being actually on
the spot continually. OF course, this
man expressman has good subordinates.
but it is not, with her, case of some one
else doing the work while she remains
picturesque head. She knows well exactly
what goes on in her stables
Besides ill-health, this woman has had
to contend with organizations far larger
than her own-with the great express COM
panies of the country four or five of which
send wagons into her territory, and even
with the street car company, which oper-
ates trolley express almost past her door.
Only acute Management could enable her
not only to hold her own, but to prosper,
in the face of this rivalry. She does not
expect ever to run express business
large as those Of some of her rivals. but
so long as there is a comfortable annual
and the number Of dollars on the fair side
of the balance accounts she is content to
remain prosperously local.
Her success, be it added as a last word,
has not had any especial luck as an i'm
portant factor. She has found herself up
against misfortune more than once.
fire. an accident to her horses and other
made inroads on her profits. She is SO far
from being a favorite of fortune that she
might have posed as a poor thing" If she
hadn't made up her mind that she was
going to be master of her fate" and, in
cidentally, good, paying business.
