A NEW TRADE.
How One Woman Earns Livelihood
Without Special Training.

How One Woman Earns Livelihood
Without Special Training.
There are so many women at the
present time who are forced by cir
cumstances to find some means of self
support that any new suggestion as to
ways and means is always received
enthusiastically.
The story Of a woman in one of the
large cities seems to show that every
one must have some special gift. be 1t
sewing, housekeeping, cleaning or busi-
ness, and every one should seek her
especial talent until she fiiMs ii. This
rule should really hold good even IL
money is not necessity, for a talent
may always be turned to the aid OF
another or others, as the case may be.
The particular woman of the story
was left a widow and penniless, with
a rooted objection to dressmaking and
most other forms Of employment by
which the average woman seeks to
earn her living. Finally she decided
that, although her hands were long
and slender and her fingers OF the
most artistic type, she could do moth
ing but handle fine lace and frills, and
she therefore sought and obtained
some delicate fabrics to clean and
press. For two years she supported
herself by this work, although not en-
tirely to her own satisfaction.
One day she happened to pass a
store where glass and other fragile
works of art were sold, and her artis-
tic temperament caused her to enter
to more closely examine the beauties
displayed In showcase and on the coun-
ter. Once there her long, fine hands
strayed toward the bits OF marble un-
til the manager Of the store saw her
and approached to ask her to read the
usual sign forbldding visitors to han
die the pieces. But as he watched her
he changed his mind and instead re-
marked on her lightness Of touch and
asked her If she would enter his EN-
ployment.
She replied that she could not take
saleswoman's position, but added that
handling the fragile works OF art was
a pleasure, to which he answered,
''That is all / want you to do-keep
them clean" SO she accepted the Of
fer, and for twelve years she has tend
ed to and kept the stock In good con-
dition.
Later 1t occurred to her that she
might also take care OF private collec-
tions or of those relics too precious to
trust to ordinary care.
Her business grew and grew, and
now she has all she can handle, for,
although some collections are not visit
ed but once in two years, others need
monthly attention.
Thus the casual visit paid to a store
started this plucky little woman on her
life work, and her story suggests many
possibilities for others too delicate for
heavy work, yet gifted in one partic-
ular way.

coveted tooth, being declined.
"The tooth in question came, as the
Hindus believe, from out the mouth OF
Buddha-the founder of the foremost
religion of the Orient-and hence for
2,400 years that tooth has been an OBJ

LITERARY REVIEW

The Century for April contains many
interesting numbers. The Railway Beauti-
ful by Sylvester Baxter carries the readers
along a route pointing out places and
scenes overlooked BY the average eye,
some Of them far more alluring than for
eign lands to which tourists nock, for
getful Of the beauties Of our own country.
He pays a glowing tribute to the mech-
anism that has made such travel possible.
It is well written and instructive as well
as entertaining. The illustrations are ex-
cellent.
The Century's American Art Series is
also remarkable in its presention of the
best specimens Of American Art.
scribner's April number is particularly
interesting. A sketch. illustrated by the
author, W. ]. Aylward. entitled How
They Rampr (. The Derehct is a master
piece in its way. Excellently done it is
well worth a perusal.
Harpooning in The Gulf Of Mexico. by
William Todd is also an enjoyable feature
of this number.
The Bohemian April number is full OF
entertainment, the special department,
Here and There. being fund Of amusing
anecdotes as related by notables, especial
" stage-folk.
New York, Without the Wherewithal, by
Charles f. Peters is characteristic Of a
host of experiences in the great Metro
polls. It has been said, and truly, if New
York city should ever adopt an appro-
pirate motto, it would be well to make it:

Come Around"
Mabel Talioferro's personal experiences
upon the stage from the days when, as a
little child she played in Blue Jeans. is
