they are. Most men nowadays try many
kinds of work before striking the line
that is, to be theirs for life; In the
sense that the old proverb, "a rolling
stone gathers no moss, is used to APP
ply to the man who shifts from one
position to the other, most men today
are rolling stones. Some roll farther
and longer than others. But they all
rolls considerably before lodging in the
spot that is to be their permanent rest

If you are the average American cit
izen, with a settled occupation at pres
ent, you have changed your occupation
more than once. Leaving the rural
district, where man is farmer or
nothing, out Of the case, the average
man changes his occupation something
like three times before he finds the
work that he sticks to. This is not

THEY WOULD CONQUER
Foolish to Advise Eager, Confident
Girls to Go Home and Stay.


Mrs. Dennis T. S. Denison, writing
in Success, said:
81 know Of nothing more pathetic, -
said woman to me lately, ethan the
one face one is sure to find at every
clearinghouse in, New York-the face
of the girl who has just come to con-
quer the city. To me such faces are
more ragic than ali army with banners.
Why doesn't she go home?'
girl who has just come to conquer the
of their professions did not go home
and they are not going to keep their
places always. Who will take their
places if that army of eager, confident
young women at the clearinghouse
tables of New York should suddenly 20
home? -....
There came girl to New York three
years ago who went to see one of the
succ essful women in her profession.
Ny. dear young friend, - said the
an average o team Girls n day who come
to me. as you have come. I know girls
who cannot earn S. a week in this
town. Go home and stay there
But you didn't 90 home" sug.
gested the girl. ~. ~
Ihat was because d1dn>t know
what | was daring,' replied the sue
cessful woman. ~. ta4
The girl did not 90 home, however
She stayed. and now she is earning a
salary almost equal to that of the sue
cessful woman-for New York is in
deco! fairy, city if one knows little
magic oneself.
To every girl who has come here to
make her way I should like to say two
things:
First, know yourself; that bit Of ad.
vice has never yet been equaled.
Second. if it is not your pride, nor
your desire, nor your discomfort at
home, but your sober judgment of your
own ability and perseverance that leads
you to believe honestly that you can
win-then stay.
| Given health and with no pressing
call of duty at home, any girl who I'm.
derstands her own personality, and who
stays in the belief I have Just men
| toned, holds her future in her own
hands. In her own hands! There, alas
is the rub; for upon the way she iuggles
the future with her own clever hands
| everything depends, far more than or
the intervention of fate.

ness offers fair remuneration.
1t is well in a girl to begin the bust
ness at about the age of seventeen or
eighteen, serving. an apprenticeship of
two seasons-spring and fall-after
which she will be prepared to take what
is known as an improver' place.
If she is ambitious she will serve but
one season as improver, the salary for
this work being from So to Sc per week.
The next step is that Of maker-the
first toward designing-as by now her
eye? has become so trained that irregu-
larities, bad proportions, and clumsi-
ness are readily perceptible. 4 -@a
A good maker readily secures $12 a
week, and SIS, and even $1S is some
times paid for expert workers. :..~,
With Trimming Designing Begins.
With experience Of two or three
models a girl is fully prepared to take
a position as trimmer, her skill, rapid.
ty, and management Of workroom help
ordinarily from SIS. to $25 a week.
With her first position as trimmer
her real designing begins. A new flow,
er, material, or novelty often will sug-
gest a new design. The knowledge of
a woman s gown, the occasion on which
a hat is to be worn, the style Of the
wearer, her face, features and physical
proportions-all are, aids in the dis
tinguishing individuality which charac-
terizes the real designer.
This individuality is the sum of all
good designing, for as no two people
have the same personal appearance,
so one style hat will look well upon a
small proportion Of women, who insist
upon wearing a certain style because
it is a prevailing one.
For the milliner who adds to her
qualifications that of a pleasing per-
sonality, the power to inspire confidence
in her ability, and also possesses the
quality Of self-control, good salary
always is waiting. And not only that
but contact with pleasant people, and
not infrequently semi-annual trips
abroad as foreign buyer, which means a
widening Of her experience, also giving
her prestige and making the highest
possible attainment in her art possible
