Facts.

The richest bachelor girl in New
York is Helen Gould.
The poorest is Miss Silvera-if you
ask heri
If you were to look at Miss Silvera
you would not call her poor. She mas
beautiful eyes and the fairest skin
Her voice is wonderfully well modu
lated and her manners are simply
charming.
If you we're to know Miss Silvera
she would explain to you that it is by
her pretty manners that she makes
her livelihood. She came to New
York stranger and would have had
very little chance except for her good
looks and her pretty manners. She
wanted to earn her living and be a
bachelor girl.
But what chance is there for q
girl with nothing but pretty manners
to work upon? She cannot teach
school and she cannot teach music
She cannot paint and she cannot
sing.
But Miss Silvera found her niche
in New York. She obtained a very
handsome position as one of the
young ladies in the very swell estab
lishment of Mrs. Osborn. Here she
meets members of the 400" and
treats them with the manners of
the 400" This bachelor is al
ways beautifully gowned and
is above reproach in
every way. To meet her you would
think her right out of the home of a
millionaire father, when she is just a
jolly bachelor girl getting a good liv
ing and plenty of fun out of the New
York experience.
The wealthiest bachelor girl in
Gotham is Helen Gould, who lives
thoroughly the life of bachelor girl
and enjoys it too. One night she
dimes at the Woman's hotel with a
party of bachelor girl friends. The
next night she gives little bohemian
supper in her magnificent Fifth ave
nue. home at Fifth avenue and Forty.
sixth street. The following night she
is enjoying a little spread in the home
of some less fortunate bachelor
girl.
And this goes to prove that to be
a bachelor girl in New York does not
require money. You can be a bache-
Tor girl on a little or on a great deal
If there are girls in other towns
who want to be bachelor girls in New
York there are some questions which
they must ask themselves.
And here are the questions:
Is there some one thing you can do
and do well? If there isn't you might
as we'll stay at home.
Ask yourself, secondly. how much
money have you? You cannot come
to New York on nothing at all. You
will need 500 and it would be no
harm if you had 5000.
Third-and here is an important
question-what is your disposition
Can you sit down all alone by your
self, day after day, and be happy
Are YOU of the self-entertaining var
iety OF girl? Il no one calls can YOU
keep cheerful? Or are you of the
crying variety of girl, prone to weep
if you wake up in the morning and
find it raining?
Fourth, are you going to be self.

There is Miss Urcell, who came to
New York to earn her living. She is
doing it and more. She gets $50 a
week posing for Christy. She poses
for no one else. But she happened to
be pretty girl and when she got to
Gotham she gave up all idea of work
ing at other trades and went to DOS
ing.
There is Dorothy Zimmerman.
She cane to New York determined to
do something and for several weeks
she went about looking for "a
chance" She found it in the studios.
Then, on account of her height and
her beauty, she got upon the stage
And now she does double work
namely, that of posing during the
day and dancing upon the stage at
night.
Miss Zimmerman lives in a pretty
little fiat, for which she may pay $40

But it is nicely located near Central
park and when she is at home she is
mistress Of all she surveys. She goes
in very good society and like Ethel
Barrymore-who is one of Gotham's
bachelor girls also-she is invited to
the best houses in town.
Not all Gothar's girl bachelors do

who came to New York from the west
to earn her living. She took two
rooms on Washington square and
paid So week for them. She wash
ed her handkerchiefs in her room and
dried them on the window pane. She
walked to save car fare and pinched
on the pennies.
But she succeeded. She managed
to get footing in a wholesale house
