While much has been accomplished by
women stenographers, the profession is
seriously handicapped by the number
of incompetent young girls thronging its
ranks, whose services are automatic and
whose rate of pay is consequently small.
Such girls enter the field with sincere

to understand why they are not ad-
vanced. When a business man adver-

taking an ofice for herself, where she
now employs one or two assistants.
Miss Magic is the only woman stenog-
rapher in Washington who uses the
graphophone in connection with her
work.
This stenographer Is typical twen-
tieth century girl. and believes in the
dignity of all labor. especially such az
brings one in. touch with nature. She
owns small farm, purchased with her
savings, which she manages we'll, much
to the surprise of her masculine neigh
bors. She is not averse to taking rake
in her own hands to assist in the light
farm work after her duties of the day
in town. She has a fine colony Of Bel
gian hares. and hundreds Of fine chick
ems.
A Versatile Worker.
Miss Magic is quite versatile, having
done excellent amateur acting for sew
eral years, and some of her short
stories and verses have been well re-
ceived by the magazines.
Mrs Leona E. Kidwell, in the Depart
ment OF Justice, furnishes an example
of the Government employe whose in-
telligence and expertness are fully rec
ognized and made use Of She is
young widow OF striking brunette type,
and no better instance could be found
of pleasing personality as an adjunct
to success in life.
This earnest young women has little
daughter. born after the death of her
father when the mother was but seven
teen years of age. Mrs Kidwell's hus-
band was a school teacher in Virginia
and. dying suddenly, left his young wife
without ample provision for her future.
After several years she studied shorl-
hand and has been eminently successful
in every position she has filed.

sistant secretary of the National Surety
Company of New York. fills her post
with this company with exceptional sat-
isfaction. She understands all the de-
partmental rules governing bonding, and
is an invaluable clerk to her employers.
Miss Spofford has flied several ether
important positions in Washington. hay-
ing acted at one time as secretary for
Senator Burroughs Of Michigan. Other
governmental work has been the taking
of testimony in Indian depreciation
claims, which entailed long journeys
through the West on trips covering
several months, the mode of travelling

southern part of Utah, where the country
is quite unsettled.

MRS. K1DwELL.

In neglect or ignorance of the physical
necessities at the maturing pAioG OF

sistance to develop into strenuous,

hood, should she eventually choose do
mestic life in preference to the busi.
ness one.
The most expert women stecograpl;rrs
in Washington are to be found in thc
stenographic bureaus Of the various Of
fee buildings. where all Glasses of work
are turned out. Owing to the great
number Of transient visitors TO the
Capital on business in he ,:ite-ent de-
partments. competency in these Offices
is sure to be rewarded by large ard
lucrative business, although patrons are
not limited to out-of-town client, by any
means.
Business colleges stand for what the
name implies and no more, as rule.
Their instructors are specialists. TO
undertake to supplement the course by
building up every pupils defects in

another department, which some of the

Good Health Essential.
Another essential to success as a
stenographer is good health, for no other
clerical work wears upon the nervous
system to such an extent. 1t is as yet
beyond human possibility to use ma
chimes for the saving of time without
an unnecessary expenditure of nervous
energy. 1t remains for the twentieth
century typewriter girl" to learn how
% use her machine with relaxed muscles
and such mental poise as not to pro
duce the nerve-racking conditions which
now almost invariable ensues after sew
eral years.
The assurance OF a robust constitu-
tion Is another argument in favor Of a
longer term at school, which means the
storing up of vitality and energy to be
meted out later when necessity demands,
in lieu of which no financial consider
alton can possibly compensate. If girls
remained in school until they had COM
pleted an adequate course to equip them
for valuable business service. much of
the physical debility of later years
would be avoided.

in Washington to enter the field Of pub

successful business In the reading rooms
of the old willard Hotel and the Riggs
House at different periods. She has
been located in the Bond Building ever
since its erection.
Miss Brittinsham, in the Washington

come to Washington from Philadelphia.
where she held the trehsurership of a
large corporation, having risen from the
stenogra piers desk. She is an exam

met with unqualified success since TAX

was rendered the portfolio of teacher in
Latin and music after finishing her
course of study at st. Mary's Hall, Eur

tuition for two years. She is also a
French and German scholar. Miss Brit
tingham has but lately undertaken the
work of this bureau, which has been es-
tablished and managed with great sue
cess for eight years past.
Legal Work Her Specially.
Miss Magic, in the Columbian Build
ing. is we'll known in the vicinity of the
court house, in which locality she has
worked for many years. Miss Magic re-
ceived a valuable education for stenog-
rapher in the Office of a large newspa-
per in Illinois, of which her father was
editor. After mastering shorthand she
came to Washington and received an
appointment under the civil service one
week after passing the examination.
and was soon promoted to a salary of
$1,000 per year. After holding this po-
sition for seven years and aiding in the
