GIRL DRIVES WAGON |
Finds Delivering and Collecting
Laundry Great Sport.
Miss chlooe Hunter of Detroit En-
cages in Unusual Occupation for
Women, Because She Likes
Fresh Air.

Detroit, Mich.-Miss Chloe Hunter
aged 20, bids fair to reyolutionize the
laundry business, at least in this CITY.
This enterprising young miss mas
adopted the unusual vocation OF laun-
dry wagon driver with gratifying reg
suits. The success with which she Is
meeting, from a financial standpoint,
will doubtless result in her com
petitors sitting up and taking notice
The young woman has increased
her firms business fully 25 per cent:
in the time she has been working In
this unique position.
Miss Hunter formerly was employed
in the Office Of coat and apron sup.
ply company as clerk. The calling
was not agreeable to her health and
she longed for a chance to do more
open-air work. The chance came when
J. ]. Callahan, proprietor of the estab-
iESment, was taken sick and forced
to leave the city. This resulted in
Miss Hunter being assigned the duty
of keeping up the business herself.
The situation was problem at
overcame all obstacles In a short time.
She fired the regular driver of the
firms single wagon, hired another
girl as clerk and donned the money
satchel herself, starting out on the
wagon to canvass for new business.
Her plan was a success from the first.
II am what you might call a fresh
air fiend," said Miss Hunter, in eX
planning her entrance into the new
field of work. Il am not as healthy
as l would like to be and always
wanted to get outside work for that
reason. Driving the laundry wagon is
just the thing. 1t is easy work and is
doing me much good physically.

"Any girl who wants outside work
should try driving a laundry wagon.
1t certainly is great sport. All it re-

return the stares of gawks who don't

me how much people cape at me.

Origin of the Boyco++

The word boycott cannot be, traced
back further than. 1880. The word is
derived from the first prominent vic,
tim of the industrial system that has
been at the bottom of so many dis,
turbances. legal and otherwise. in the
last score or more ..of years.
Capt. Boycott was farmer At
Tough Mask, Connemara, and the resi-,
dent agent of Lord Ernie, an Irish
landlord, who. like. all of the. absentee
landlords of Ireland, was the object
Of bitter hatred on the part Of the ten.
antry For the purpose Of crushing
not only the agent but the landlord
himself the tenants entered into a So.
cret compact for. a, complete ,undoing
OF them. 80 .e'S5
This little plot very soon came to be
called sboycott" after the name TAI, : Of the
man against whom 1t was aimed. That
was in 1880. and before long The
name, like the practice, became com.
mon throughout the English-speakihg
world. AS it was picked up and adopte.
ed by the newspapers It soon came
into use in practically every European

The Flutter Of a Handkerchief.

nc TjutIGT OF d J1dUOkCTC9icI.
The next morning at eight o'clock
| sent note to Miss Pat, asking II she
and the other ladies of her house
would not take breakfast with me at
nine; and she replied. on her quaint
visiting card, In an old-fashioned hand,
that she and Helen would be glad to
come, but that Sister Margaret begged
to be excused. 1t had been in my
mind from the first to ask them to
dine at Glenarm, and now l wished
to see this girl, to test, weigh, study
her, as soon as possible after her
meeting with Gillespie. wished to
see how she would bear herself before
her aunt and me with that dark trans
action on her conscience.
Breakfast seems to be, in common
experience. the most difficult meal Of
the day. and yet that hour hangs in.
memory still as one of the brightest l
ever spent. The table was set on the
terrace, and its white hapery, the best
Glenarm silver and crystal, and bowl
OF red roses still dewy from the night,
all blended coolly with the morning.
AS the strawberries were passed l felt
that the little table had brought lis
together in new intimacy. 1t was de-
lightful to sit face to face with Miss
Pat, and not less agreeable to have
at my right hand this bewildering
girl, whose eyes laughed at me when
sought shame in their depths. Miss
Pat poured the coffee and when
took my cup felt that it carried
benediction with 1t. was glad to
see her SO ut peace with the world,
and her heart was not older, could
have sworn. than the roses before her.
Il shall refuse to leave when my
time is up!" she declared. DO you

1T would be perfectly splendid to
watch the seasons march across the
lake. We can both enroll, ourselves at

and take special course In weather

MIA. was never west OF Philadelphia
until I came here"
Helen stood by the line OF scarlet
geraniums that marked the balustrade.
at point whence the best view OF the
lake was obtainable- her hands
clasped behind her. her head turned
slightly.
There is no one quite like her!.
exclaimed Miss Pat.
She is beaatifnl!" / acquiesced.
Miss Pat talked on quickly. as
though our silence might cause Helen
to turn and thus deprive us OF the
picture.
Should you like to look over the
house? asked little later, when
Helen had come back to the table. ut
