The amount of money earned by the
newspaper woman runs from five or six
dollars week up to $40 or $50, the aver
age perhaps being between SIS or $40
by the rank and file. Few women ever
attain what may be called the great
prizes, but there are periodicals, partic-
ularly in the line of fashion, which are
exclusively edited by women, at salaries
not far from munitlcent. All the great
monthly magazines which make an es-
| pecial bid for women readers have wom-
en- editors on their staff, newspaper
women Of the brightest and most whole
some kind. Many educational publish
ing houses employ women in one of the
| lines, of reference-study or verification
or classification which come within
their scope. The great daily papers have
their corps of women who do tho So
ciety news, write of the various char
! tiles, and turn their hand to anything
else that is needed. Real maids of all
work, you see!
Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden, ule OF
the foremost newspaper women in
America, says on this subject: ANY
young woman Of ordinary sense, who
pays attention to the requirements OF
the profession, can make a good living
as a reporter. She will find that the
range of her understanding and her
sympathies is being increased with
every month of her work. Her daily ex-
perience will be continual education
for the field of Legitimate fiction. II she
has talent or genius or executive ability
her future is secure. Meanwhile, her
daily bread is provided for What more
could be asked of any vocation in life?'
One word may be added in reply to the
question; where shall the aspirant find

helper on the local paper. A country
newspaper is the best of training

tie bit of everything. Any newspaper
Office is a good school. One learns the
profession somewhat after the world
renowned manner of Mr. Squeers who
set his boys learning how to wash win
dows, and then told an admiring visitor
that it impressed it on boys mind, tt

time in cleaning the same.

Just as a soldier is obliged to obey Or
ders, so the successful newspaper wom-
an must be willing to do what she is told,
go where she is sent, brave all kinds of
weather, and make light of every trifiing
inconvenience. By way of preparation,
she will need a good common school
education, the ability to write a legible
hand, to punctuate properly, to spell
correctly, and to express herself in
good English. This last is absolutely
imperative. Do not for a moment under
rate English grammar and good spell
ing, if you aspire to earning living as
newspaper woman.
The price to be paid for place at the
top in this profession, as in any other,
is the price of personal conservation.
The work must be put before pleasure,
before social engagements, before Wis
