growing ability to make hats on such ar
tistic lines that they transform plain
faces into interesting and pretty ones,
will give her such keen love for her
work. and make her reputation spread
so fast that there is scarcely limit TO
the salary she can command.
am personally acquainted with a
number of country girls who are to-day
earning fine salaries as trlmmers. One
receives seventy-hve dollars per week
the year round. Her firm realizes her
value and fear to let her off the pay
roll for a single week lest she be cap
tured by some rival house. They send
her to Europe twice year, paying her
full salary and expenses.
This is by no means an exceptional or
isolated case. nor are such positions con-
fined to great cities. Many establish
ments in smaller towns pay as high as
fifty dollars per week for trnnmers.
Learning a trade like millinery at
home gives the applicant for position
many very great advantages, and enables
her at a leap to step over the girl who
applies for work as an ordinary appren-
tice. Such apprentices giN. six months
time free, without receiving one penny
with which to pay for board, carfares
and other incidentals of life away from
home The girl who takes correspond
ence course at home has none of these
expenses. She can adjust her hours Of
study to suit her own convenience, and
she can. if at all clever, begin to earn
money almost from the very start by
making over and trimming the hats Of
neighbors and friends. This gives her
not only practical experience. but enables
her, if asked in city establishment, to
say that she was in business for her
self, statement that carries more
weight with employers than is usually
imagined; because employers know that
the person who has been in business for
herself realizes the value and necessity
for economy in the use Of materials, a
necessity that the employee who has
never had to Leckon up the cost Of ma
tcrials is apt to overlook.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.

Oscar Plummer had all the fingers OF

a planer in James Marsh's mill in West

George Alexander Wheelock. 80, one of
Keene's leading benefactors, died In that
city Sunday. He was a graduate of Har-

his time to outdoor life. He was presi-
dent of the Ashuelot National bank OF
Keene many years and member or the
school board at one time. His memory
in that city will be forever perpetuated
by a large tract of woodland of so acres
called wheelock park; but this was not
his only gift to Keene, for another tract
of IL acres to be forever preserved as a
forest is known as Childrens WOOD,
while adjacent to it is still another tract
of So acres, known as Robinwood forest.
He never married and a brother living in
Lowell is his only near relative.
