OF inspiring interest to the Birmingham
women, whose work in the Woman's Elk
change of this city has developed 1t on
such a successful scale, will be the fol-
lowing story which was sent to this de-
partment yesterday:
'"Ivhe story of how a woman succeeded
is always interesting; and doubly so when
that success means the happiness and
livelihood of so many women throughout
the country. The Buffalo Exchange en-
Joys the distinction of being self-support-
ing and the history of the enterprise is
most entertaining.
Mime years ago Miss Seldom was a
society girl who had never earned a penny
In her life. She was not only an accom-
plished musician but a brilliant linguist,
speaking French, German and Italian
with equal case She had travelled extern
sively and was interested in everything,
although business had never claimed her
attention. In fact she was not supposed
to have any business ability or to know
anything about 1t, having come from
long line of professional beople' number
Ing mainly lawyers and judges.
previous to this, exchanges had not
been unknown in the history of Buffalo,
there had been two decorative art So
cieties, and two exchanges, but none had
succeeded. This series of failures attracted
Miss sheldons attention to the situation
and the possibilities strongly appealed
to her. With characteristic enterprise and
good Judgment she began to study pros
and cons and finally decided in the face
of much family opposition, to start an
exchange all on her own account
miss Sheldon says with pride: I began
the exchange with my own capital, which
was just $3.50. every cent Of which L
earned by giving a series of parlor talks
upon European trip which I had re-
Gently taken. Many disappointments were
mine In the beginning. At first 1 rented
a room for 500, but in three months the
firm which owned the building failed.
and l was obliged to take another room
the rent of which was $3.50. The sue
cess OF the exchange had been due, l
feel certain. to the fact that there is
absolutely no red tape about the estab-
lishment There are 40 subscribers, let
me emphasize the announcement-no COM
mittees. There are, therefore, no delays.
