PIN MONEY FROM STRANGE SOURCES
Women Booming Mineral Water Selling
Real Estate and Acting as Confidential Agents.

agent for a firm of artist photographers
and portrait painters. OF acknowledged
taste and good judgment in artistic mat
ters, her recomm endation counts, espe-
cially with people who are too much in
a hurry or too INDECENT to think out things
for themselves.
One woman makes a steady commission
as an earnest convert to the merits of a
certain brand of mineral water. People
laugh at her hobby, little dreaming that
it has business character. Then they
try the water out Of curiosity or awak-
ened interest.
A woman admired for her pretty belong
ings and fine bearing earns a fine salary
as confidential agent for a smart dry
goods house. She shops in an exclusive
looking conveyance and views and prices
goods of a kind which the ordinary shop
per never sees.
Fine furs, expensive laces and bric-a-
brac are examined by her with apparent
unconcern in regard to their cost. But
she has good judgment as to values and
all her scrutiny is directed to the object
of informing her employers as to the run
of goods and prices in rival shops.
Every up-to-date merchant is compelled
to know more about the inner workings
of rival houses than he could learn thru
store These employees have the mark
of, their calling upon them and so inyesti-
gate under a disadvantage, but the woman

can go in fearlessly among the clerks and
salespeop1e, sure that her motives in
pricing and examining are only credited
to the natural love for looking at pretty
things.
A clever young woman able to speak
eloquently on philanthropic matters, is
employed by charitable league to pros
pect for influential members. The young
woman is attractive and well known to
people of the very sort whom the society
wishes converted to it's standard. The
society is not so much in need OF money
as Of social prestige for its doctrines, and
is willing to pay commissions on the re-
cruits whom the young woman may enlist,

THE CHINA AND SILVER
IN THE WHITE HOUSE
President Roosevelt Add to the Collection Of Notable China
by the PreidentThe James Monroe Trunk
Once Held the Entire Supply of Silver at the
Executive Mansion.
Executive Mansion.

seven meat platters six fish platters and
number of smaller pieces.
Johnson, when president, never bought
for the mansion much worth recording,
contriving to get along with what he
found already there.
President Grants occupancy, Of the
White House marks the time in the china
record when a great deal Of splendidly
made and beautifully decorated china was
added to the collection then in use.
Somewhat similarly to the Lincoln set, the
patriotic idea was carried out by having
the United States shield in the corner of
each piece, with decorative buff border.
Across the center over the shield, there
was a spray of native American wild flow
ers, most beautifully executed.
The Hayes set is by far the largest and
most expensive of all the Individual col-
lections. AS this magnificent supply was
almost unimpa1red by breakage when
office, he did not find 1t necessary to make
any very large additions during his term.
Practically all that may be included under
this period are two dozen dessert plates.
a small number Of Dresden after-dinner
coffee cups and few extra pieces Of vari-
Gus shapes and sizes.
President Cleveland was one of the
greatest patrons of the ceramic art who
has ever sat in the presidential chair. He
never hesitated to order splendid sets of
dishes whenever he thought some new
design or style would add to the comfort
and attractiveness of the executive table.
In what is known as the Cleveland col
lection there are nearly a thousand plates
of various sizes, about two hundred after
dinner cups and saucers and as many tea
cups.
Notwithstanding this unusual addition
to the White House china closet, President
Harrison believed there were not enough
dishes there for the proper banqueting of
his guests and ordered about four hundred
extra pieces. When President Mckinley
came into office, he felt that his predeces-
s0rs had manifested such activity in china
collecting that he could better devote his
to time a good many extra dishes Of odd
of the table and to fill in the losses from
previous purchases of unique articles, but
so few In number were these that there
lis a very small Mckinley collection.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt have de-
termined upon keeping as free from use
as possible all the articles of greatest
historic value and to preserve the col
5lections intact. Mrs. Roosevelt, more than
almost any previous occupant of the White
House, thoroly appreciates the historic
value of its belongings and the president
fully shares her views. The new Roose-
welt set, therefore, will be depended upor
for the greatest amount of actual service
and fortunate may those guests consider
themselves in whose honor priceless bits
of china from previous collections are
spread upon the executive banquet board

An attractive young woman, who has
a wide circle of acquaintance, makes
good commissions thru helping real
estate dealer. Her plan is to make just
a seemingly careless mention of some lots
she happened to get hold Of at wonder
fully low value considering the circum-
stances. The bait once thrown out In
this manner, she generally lands her Gus
toner. When thru her instrume ntality
three or four lots are sold at $3.50 apiece,
she gets $50 or $35 commission. Her eli
ents are the people she meets ordinarily
in the social whirl. She also puts her chief
in touch with those whom he would not

nels of advertising.
| She did not seek the work The real
estate man met her at a reception, was
struck by her pleasant manner and bear
ing and after obtaining further knowledge
| of her and guessing that extra pin money
would not be unwelcome, ventured tc
make his proposition. Even her own fam
lily connections, many of them Influential
people, have no suspicion that she is earn
ing money, and she rather enjoys the ad-
venture.

hair A plain skirt and a.ecollarless Elton
coat is good style for such a costume. If
the suit was made solely for travelling, it
should be severely plains=b but as the girl
with two weeks vacation will need to
wear it on many other occasions, it should
be trimmed. An effective trimming Is
to have the collarless Elton finished at the
neck with alternate bands of taffeta silk
and creamf lace insertions, and to have
these same silk and lace bands form tab
epaulettes over the shoulders and tab ends
in front. The cuff Of the sleeve may also
have a touch of taffeta and lace: OF course
