THE LITTLE BUSINESS LADY"

One of the really truly for SURE
signs of the times in Pensacola just
now-dmes that point on toward big
"doings" in the little old burg of ours
1s-would you believe it?-the influx
OF the little business woman, the lady
with the level head, who, with a fair
taste Of the sweets OF absolute indie
pendence, gentlemen, is about the
haDDiest person I know.
We have her, here in Pensacola, in
very best form, and she's gradually
coming to be an important factor
Indeed in the down town events worth
while.
Time was, you see, when the staid
and rather primitive old town gasped
and held up it's hands in righteous
horror at the fearfully unmaidenly
conduct Of some poor misguided fe-
male who actually preferred working
for an honest livelihood to deVOlving
an added burden on the shoulders Of
her kinsmen, but, thanks be, that time
IL beautifully over now, and the old
town Is rocking citywardS in a right
respectable fashion.
When iII-mannered men stared
their foolish eyes out as the bust
ness maiden tripped down Palafox
street In times gone by, right fine
and generally broad-minded aggrega-
tion greets her now for what she is

The usual upgrade business lady,
gentle reader, has an air of delicious
independence about her. She hasn't a

Takes Some Bumps.
It takes a lot of good, reliable eX-
perience to make the ideal business
woman, who knows, probably, when TO
keep her little mouth closed, when
it's opportune to open it, when to
cast a sort of dignifed barrier be-
tween herself and the world as rule,
and when to throw it all off for splen-

If the girl beginner be very young
and equally inexperienced-Pm sorry
for her.
She's going to have that species of
human insect to deal with known as
the male masher," perhaps-and
she's sure to get "stung" to some ex-

There isn't a woman living who
doesn't take in this clever sort OF
oily, well-greased flattery in a way

perhaps a father to square accounts,

One of the things the really up-to-

She's so beautifully satisfied with 1t
all.
She knows she's adding dignity to
a class which were working girls,
but, thanks to her very best efforts
and to goth century conditions has

The fire was first discovered about

quickly but the loss had already been
wrought and there was little for the

Stamey is estimated at S2,500, while
the loss on she barn to Capt Horner
will be about $1,000.
One OF the greatest losses which
Mr.. Stamey sustained is that of his
famous old roam with locked tail,
McConnells. which was one of the
fastest harness horses in Topeka. The
horse was famous for vicious dis

racer

BIG CROWD AT VINEWOOD
Nearly Eight Thousand People Present

most suspicious opening m its history
barring of course the initial opening six
years ago. The officials of the street
railway company estimate the total at
tendance for the day somewhere be-
tween 1000 and 5000 with the actual at
tendance probably running closer to the
last named figure.
Tt was certainly a great crowd The
rush to the park was not confined to
any one period of the day, but the
amusement seekers started southeast
ward early in the morning and were
vending their way TO the Deer creek
resort all day long The street car COM
lDany had plenty to do in handling the
crowds, but there was no complaint and
some pretty good service was rendered
by the municipal carrier In the even
ing the crowds that had gone out in
the morning were ready 10 come back
and in this way the return of the throng
did not overly tax the capacity OF the

comfortably crowded
The park did a good business The
skating rink was patrOnized about as
well as any of the concessions, so cou-

The toboggan slide with its deepened
dius did a great business, and the ca
