the street for long time. A. A.
Housman q Co. had Miss Jennie Pierce
in that capacity for years, and she
only lett that house recently to go
with another one at an increased SAL
airy. Her salary was i'm the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
There is one woman who occupies a
UNIQUE position on the street, and that
Is mrs Eugenia a. Gaylord. Mrs.
Gaylord is probably the only woman
bond broker in the country, Just as
Miss Giles is the only woman cotton
statistician. She is hustler and
knows the value of bonds as well as
any man, and what is more to the
point, she know how to place their
value in pleasing light to the pur-
chaser. The result is that she sells
many bonds and makes a large income
from her commissions.
Probably the highest-paid woman
employed by any house in the finan-
cial district is Miss Caroline van
Brunt. Miss Van Brunt is the cashier
OF 5. H. P. Pell e Co., and draws a
salary of $4,000 a year.
A change of air and scene Is very
desirable, but all of us cannot have
these luxuries. Luxuries they are,
though there has grown up an idea
that they are necessities. Let those Of
us who perforce stay at home console
ourselves with two renections. First,
that our forefathers never dreamed Of
shutting up and leaving their homes
for weeks at a time, and yet they liv-
ed in comfort and died at a ripe old
age. Second, that whether we get
through the summer comfortably or
not depends much more on ourselves
than on our surroundings. A nervous,
fretful woman will let the heat wear
her out quite as much at the noun
tains or seashore as if she had never
left home. A serene habit of mind and
determination to make the best of
things will carry one triumphantly
through the hot days and over the
weary nights, even If they must be
spent among bricks instead OF by roll
ing waves Of rustlinP trees.

Nature has repose, teaches Annie
Payson Call the great exponent Of
physical culture. Man is left free to
take it or not as he chooses" But be-
fore he is able to receive it he has
personal tendencies to restlessness to
overcome. And, more than that. there
are the inherited nervous habits Of
generations of ancestors to be recog-
nized and summed.
But repose, after all. is an Utmost
law of our being, and the quiet of ma
ture is at our command much sooner
than We realize, if we want it enough
to work for it steadily day by day.
Nothing will increase our realization
of the need more than a little daily
thought of the quiet in the workings of
nature and the consequent appreciation
of our own lack.
Ruskin tells the story with his own
repressive power when he says: Are
not the elements of ease on the face of
all the greatest works OF creation? Do
they not say, not There is a great
effect here but There has been a
great power here'?"
If we have once trained ourselves
into natural ways, so akin are the
laws of nature and spirit. both must
be obeyed; and to rise to our greatest
power means always to rise to our
greatest power for use
"A mans life is Gods love for the
use for which he was made" A mans
power lies in the best direction Of that
use. This is a truth as practical as
the necessity for walking on the feet
with the head up.
