HoW Some StPaul Girls MdkePin Money

who are professional shoppers, and, In
fact, this is quite a paying business.
OF course it takes some time to work
up good trade, but for the girl who
enjoys shopping and needs a little
money, as well as for the woman who
hates it and can afford to pay for
having it done and the woman who
lives in a little country town, it is
quite appropriate. The wonder is that
it was not thought Of years ago. One.
st. Paul girl took it UP at first more
as an accommodation to several of her
friends who lived out of town. These
friends told others and so on until now
she more than makes living out of it.
Nearly all local stores give these pro-
fessional shoppers a certain discount
and their customers usually pay
small commission.
number of women cook at home.
Some make cakes; others bread; one
girl makes enough to buy all her gowns
by filling orders for fudge, penoche and
sailed peanuts and almonds; in fact,
this latter is quite a profitable bust
ness. AT nearly all card parties, lunch
cons and other social affairs one of
these candies is served, and they sell
about 20 cents per pound to make.
There is quite a knack, too, in making
candy, and none is so nice as the home
made kind. One girl puts up fruit for
her friends who are out of the city
during the fruit season.
Plants Back Yards.
Another bright idea was carried out
with success by a young woman this
spring. She got all her neighbors to
engage her to plant their back yard
gardens. Nearly everyone has at least
some SWEET peas and few nasturtiums,
and many people find 1t rather tedious
work preparing the ground and plant
ing these little beds and fixing the
strings for the sweet peas. This girl
enjoyed out-of-door work and earned
several dollars a day at it for some
time. For the girl with artistic ability,
who can draw or paint or who has an
eye for arranging things to the best
advantage, there are ways well nigh
tnnumerable for her to earn a dollar
now and then. Decorated dinner, menu
and place cards. IL well done. will in

variably find a market. Pen and ink
work is always popular, and one girl
made quite little fortune last Christ
mas making copies of Gibson and
Christy drawings. There is another
young woman whose taste in arranging
a luncheon or dinner table affords her
a modest little income. She is consult
ed about the menu and on the day the
affair goes beforehand and arranges
the table.
Handy With Needle.
Then, with a needle, what cannot be
done? Some make a speciality of baby
outfits, making everything complete.
Then there are others who make dain-
ty lingerie for brides. Then there are
lots of pennies made at Christmas by
the manufacture of little things sewing
bags, opera glass bags, all sorts of ar
ticles that some girls seem to have
mack of doing nicely and which others
couldn't make daintily if they were to
try forever.
Of course, it all depends upon the in
dividual, but there are so many things
needed to be done that it seems i'm
possible that there Is not something
for every girl who wants to tax her
ingenuity a little. One girl owns
horse and buggy and makes a business
of taking invalids out to drive. There
we'll. When really new patterns come
out in the East they sell for about SIS,
and they are not obtainable here for
some months, until they cease to be
new. A st. Paul girl sends and gets
one Of these patterns whenever they
come out and then cuts out from tissue
papers others similar and sells them
to her friends for a good price. Still
another does friends darning.
One girl makes candelabra shades,
some of crepe paper, others of silk, and
sells them by the dozen to different
stores. Several girls decorated Christ
mas trees for their friends last year.
Of course, in a really professional way,
there are women in almost every field.
AS yet st. Paul boasts no woman law
yers, but there are several women doc
tors and one dentist practicing in the
city. OF course, everyone doesn't know
it, but there are few girls who don't
earn some money in some way or an
other. AS a rule, society girls shrink
from the commoner professions, and
hence this variety Of odd ways and
means. \. A.------..--

There was a time, when our grand
mothers were children, that it was
considered disgrace for a girl to earn
money and she would mend her few
frocks ever so carefully and go without
lots of things that the twentieth CEN
fury girl deems necessary, rather than
lower herself to working. In those
days the Homework was done by the
daughters of the house, but now mat
tiers are different. There are few girls
who do not at least earn a little pin
money!" and there are more who earn
money to pay for their clothes and
matinee tickets.
The st. Paul girl is not idle, in fact
she rather prefers to feel a little bit
of independence about her money, and
eff earned it I guess can spend it as
I choose" is only a natural feeling. A
girl hates to feel that she is idly spend
ing what her father earns and doing
nothing in return for it, Then, too,
there are so many novel ways of earn
ing money nowadays. One does not
have to choose between clerking, school
teaching, housekeeping and stenogra-
ply, but there are number of ways,
many of them almost incredible, Of
earning money.
One ofethe most unique ideas en-
ployed in st. Paul is the original idea of
the girl who uses it as a means for quite
a little extra money. She lives in one
of the suburbs of the city and owns
a small camera, both these circum-
stances being quite necessary to her
business. Her work is essentially a
summer occupation, too. In the even-
ing come the lovers and sweethearts
in droves and the little business wom-
an starts out to get pictures of them in
picturesque attitudes. Often times
these same lovers object to having
these pictures or even the plates owned
by anyone who might not show dis
erection in showing them to other peo-
pie and invariably they end the mat
ter by buying the picture, plate and all
at whatever sum the young photogra-
pher names.

ANNUAL AUCTION OF
FAIR PRIVILEGES
Brings in $4,000, an Increase of 40 Per
Cent Over Last Years

L. D. Baird, of Austin, superintend-
ent of buildings for the Minnesota state
fair of 1902, opened the annual public
auction of privileges on the grounds at
10 o'clock yesterday morning, and con-
tinued the sale until darkness put an end

the receipts OF last year from this de-
partment. .,,E s-...
The sale was movable event, the auc-
tioneer tramping the length and breadth
of the grounds, disposing of each con-
cession upon the spot.
Old-timers at the game pronounced the
contest for privileges the most spirited
that has ever been seen on the grounds
The persistent bidders were for the most
part concession holders of years past,
whom experience has taught the value Of
the fair business.
Particularly active in the fray were the
various church societies of both cities
and the United .Women's Relief corps,
which organizations have fourished for
midably in the restaurant business for
many years.
Company A, of Minneapolis, secured a
concession for the accommodation of the
soldiers at the fair.
Mr. Baird was seen last night, in COM
pany with his captain, A.~C. Page, Of
Austin, and outlined his policy as to the
conduct of his department. this year.
Cleanliness in the maintenance of the
concessions will be positively insisted
upon. Every person acting in any official
capacity upon the grounds will be re-
quired to wear white duck Goa. and
cap. V ,at trg
The sale of liquor on the grounds will
not be tolerated for a moment The
slightest violation of this rule will in
volve the immediate forfeiture of the
concession.
Mr.. Baird said that some valuable con-
cessions, as yet unsold, will be disposed
of by private SALE. Communications re-
garding their purchase will be received
by Mr.. Baird at Austin, MINI.

The feeders working in the book

keeping the bookkeepers busy, wages
would not be paid until next Tuesday

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES AND THEIR
FRIENDS GO TO WACONIA
Three Thousand Five Hundred Excur-
sionists Enjoy Pleasant Days Out
ine-Lengthy Programme of Sports
Given Without a Hitch-St. Paul
Wins the Ball Game.

Yesterday was a gala day for the
railway clerks of the Twin Cities, the
occasion being their eighth annual
outing at Waconia, MINI. About $500
people patronized the excursion and
three special trains conveyed the pleas
ure-seekers to their destination. About
seven eighths of the picknickers were
from st. Paul, the representation from
Minneapolis being very light.
At Waconia the excursionists were
welcomed by the mayor. Marlowe's
band was in attendance and headed
the large crowd through the principal
streets to the picnic grounds. The COM
mittee in charge of the affair spared
no pains to make every one feel at
home and they succeeded thoroughly.
Lieut.. Meyerding and four police Of
f1cers from st. Paul were present to
help preserve order, but their services
were needed professionally.
In the evening the st. Anthony Hill
orchestra played an excellent dancing
programme and it was nearly midnight
before the last special train left for
ST. Paul.
ST. Paul Wins Ball Game.
The feature of the programme Of
sports was the ball game between the
Minneapolis and st. Paul clerks. The
st. Paul team easily showed that it
was superior to the sister city nine by
only allowing the Minneapolis boys
one tally, while the st. Paul lads ran
up a score of eight. A feature of the
game was the pitching of Deller, for
st. Paul, who struck out ten men,
Dufreyne, of Minneapolis, also did some
clever pitching and struck out four
men. Dolan, who caught Deller's curves
for st. Paul, and O'Hagan, who was
backstop for Minneapolis, both came
in for share Of the honors. Tony
Greene, of ST. Paul, and a Mr. Kelly,
OF Minneapolis, umpired the game.
R. B. Pratt, of Minneapolis, won the
lOO-yard DASH open, and J. F. Hipes
took second money, while J. O'Conhor,
OF St Paul, was a close third.
The 1OO-yard dash for clerks was
won by ]. O'Connor, of st. Paul; A.
b. Sharpe was second and r. B. Pratt
third.
In the hop, step and jump, open, G..
Donahue, of ST. Paul, took first prize,
and w. Miller second. G. Donahue also
took first money in the running broad
jump, J. O'Connor second and T.
Lounsberry third.
The standing broad jump for clerks
was won by j. O'Connor, A. B. Sharpe
second and G. Donahue third.
Mrs. Holman won the ladies' race,
Miss Kennedy coming in second and
Miss Frank third.
The putting event was won by E.
Duffy, of ST. Paul; o. Larson second
and Dougherty third. A. B. Sharpe and
w. Miller won the three-legged race,
and M. KrOnShaW and IOunSberry
came in second.
The girls race was won by Miss
Provst, and Miss O'Connor took Sec
ond place, while Miss Brace came in
third.
The programme of sports was in
charge Of a committee, of which A. B.
Sharpe was chairman, and came off
according to schedule.
During the afternoon Henry Sauer, a
small son of Adolph Sauer, was slight
ly injured. The lad was carrying an
open umbrella, when a sudden gust of
wind caught it and he was thrown to
the ground.

meeting last night was for the purpose Of
selecting committees and making all prep
arations. 1t is possible that an effort
will be made later to secure reunion Of
the entire regiment, the members of which
are now widely scattered.

WEST SEVENTH STREET
WILL GET SANDSTONE
Long Fight Results in Defeat for Those
Desiring Asphalt.


While still open to change it has
been practically decided that the final
order to the council next week for the
paving of West Seventh street, from
Ramsey to Tuscarora, will name sand
stone as the material to be used.
After going through the various petit
lions yesterday the board found seven
ty-five for sandstone, with frontage
of 6,109 feet and fifty-five for asphalt
with a frontage of 5,311. If frontage
was considered entirely, the asphalt
people would have proportionately the
best of the argument, but in this in
stance the majority of property own
ers will be considered. The charter so
specifies and the board will observe it.
The order will reach the two bodies
of the council next week, and after
confirmation by them will be sent to
Mayor Smith sfor his approval. 1t is
hardly likely that he will interfere.

Extension of Gas Mains.

Another effort is being made by St.

PtitionS bearing the names of those who
want the service have been filed with the
company.
The gas company has taken the request
under consideration, and now has it's en-
gineers at work estimating the cost Of the
extension. While the extension may not
be made this year. the company intimates
that it will be done next.
