FROM WOMAN S
POINT OF VIEW

A friend who lives In a fair-sized city
told me that she never made cake. be-
cause she could purchase q better grade
from a woman who made business of
cake-maklng for less money than the
materials cost. SO she saved time and
work and did something toward support
ing a flourishing business. The cake
maker bought material al Wholesale
prices and had skill and experience 10
prevent blunders. and she made a hand
some living by her one talent
l venture TO say that there is a heap
Of talent going 10 waste There is a
host of women who can do some one
thing surprisingly well, and by II they
ought 10 he getting financial returns. OF
course, it takes time TO build up any
new business. but IL there is ability and
perseverance behind II success is in
evitable. Think OF the women there are
earning a living by treating nails and
hair. and few years ago one OF the
class was hard 10 find There are vary
ing degrees OF success; it is inevitable
because Of the difference in workers. but
all seem TO thrive
Jelly-making is not easy, as many
women win tell you. so I should imagine
that a woman who thoroughly under
stands the process and secures unfail-
ing results, might be in great demand
ar certain seasons Of the year. At seam
stress wages she would have an easier
days work than one who sews for hours,
and / do not see why somebody has not
started TO work this field There need
be no advertising. for good work is its
own recommendation. and one housewife
is bound 10 tell another Of her good for
tune.
There is no outlay save in strength.
and that one expects TO change for money.
was thinking how useful neat orderly
woman might be to busy women who
have the bump of order undeveloped.
She could charge by the hour for her
services In putting closets. trunks. boxes,
and bureau drawers in order, and the
price would be paid willingly. There are
Wallets who are shared by a number OF
men who secure all the service they need
for sum OF money which they are able
10 pay.
Usually these workers give a half OF
whole day each week or every fortnight
TO one patron. whose clothes are brushed
and pressed neckties cleaned and put
in order. and belongings in general care
fully inspected. Prayed shoestrings are
replaced by fresh ones. combs and
brushes thoroughly cleaned, and bureau
drawers made as orderly as they should
be; and comfort is materially aided by
such service Now. why does not some
clever woman start out as a syndicate
maid and do similar service for distressed
women? She would find plenty OF patrons
and have maEy imitators after she had
proved the success Of her plan

Tight SkirfH

Spring styles are far from being de-
ciared. but one can without compunction
prophesy that the tight skirt will be a
main feature. The skirt is now a settled
fact. and all the elegant women have
adopted it. This winter it has been most
ly employed with the three plaits. but
the new cuts viii do away with this little
finish down the center. for there was
never any reason for their existence. The
plaits did not hide the form, they were
not graceful and the cutters never made
a success Of them for they seemed op-
posed TO arranging" themselves.
