no more than those that. had offended the breath of Der uostIils.
 I-p tc ten years ago i- w-s the eX- cepti0n 10 encounter woman name iu the patent books. Previous to that time the new patents applied for oy women as rule were mere eXppes- e.o-s of more or less uninteITEent vanity. A process of we ,inS stra" with silk is the Hrzt registered fem ini1e patent l. was granted to May ! Kels in 1909. and she undoubtedly dis ] covered it in her pIrsr5t of the c2---l1l . joy Of pretty Sunday millinery Then Mary Brush. some six years ! later invented corset, an ugly, shape !. less affair that must have ruiaed 1 Ma~y's figure and digestion and work ! ed havoc with the -7llt. 5-ae--L s--e really made money.
 There ha- been no one article SO ccleu patented as the corset. Until straight front corsets came in women were seldom comfortable with tneir ! s-oys on. and every woman Wao sol 1 together a corset in which she could face life c1eerfully felt ls thOlga she n-d a boon for wowankild and her huz5aad usually believed her and p2,- erted the article.
 ! Following these first self-couscious small patents, women developed wide interest in life. and fashion having had it's inning. die waz -on- ! s.dered and baking powders were pat e1tod and ice cream freeZ--s and oc- . cas sioaaI cooking utensils
 Then-vith the success of these frs patents the lonely woman of thinking capacity came iuto her own. and pat ents were taken out for rocking crairs .hozp.taI bandaSes. for reapius

 The most important and profitable patents have been not those intended to reform the human race or make cioher gTest fortune and fame, but Those wrich were the o-tg-oNth Of need ana -le experience and ability to cope with t. The wOmeC C clerk in the New York store who invented profitable delivery system felt the need of one, and knew all the practl- cal details She made fortune
 Another woman who hed much to do with handling bags that once filled wouldn't stand. but promptly spilled their contents. invented a satchel bO-- toned paper bag. She had the coura ge or her former troubles and took the bag and received an offer Of S20.OG0 for the patent the day it was issued. Evidently O-aers, too. had suffered from the csDr5-es of the pointed bot toned b-g.
 Most of the paten-C haven. cost overmuch bra5n or capital or time. They just make one detail in life run smoother. and the women who in vented them did so in the first place to save herself trouble. Women are drawing incomes of $5,0C0 I year and more for having found small remedies for small worries.
 A glove buttoner of simple device means S5,0o0 per annum; a waist sup porter that renders the average hur- ried wOnan's back less defeuceless has made the inventor independent. and g. perforated hatband designed by a shopgirI iE New York State has rem 6ered the shop owner half 9 million a5re.
 But factory owners are often very kind about the inventions of their eD- ployes. One of New EnsIand's mill owners, who is herself an inventor has arranged to secure patents foI women inventors in her saop. and share all profits with them. X singls device secured from one of the womer hands in thts way 5rinSs in yearly revenue of $20.OOO.
  so in New England, if a girl has good idea in the way of an invention that will improve the work she gan ge liberal royalties for use of her paten and have the inftiai work and eEpcus, of securing it me- for her.
 More than one New England woman who goes to work daily on the sount of the o'clock whistle dinner box il hand, is sn inventor of no mean rep utatiOn in her own town. has mucl enlarged weekly dividends.
 l. is the opinion of man who i something of a patent expert that majority of the most profitable in vcnions put on the market during tn pas. few years have been patented b. women, not women of great geniu and wide scientific Knowledge, bu .. mainly clever working girls or wome who own shops or women who are in tecested in agriculture and Seneri farming in the middle west.
 Each profession in which voma have succeeded has brought to Hgh a score of inventions to lessen I8bo and increase profits. Women schol teachers have brought out out i'm prOYemeuts in blackbOards, eraser
