EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

Do you know of any unusual way
in which a woman can earn, either
all her bread and butter or Just lit
tie butter to go with the bread with
which she may already be supplied?
If you do, please send the good
who has not yet found her niche in
the worlds work may profit by it.
That there is no need for the tre-
mendous overcrowding of a few pro-
fessions by women and the consequent
lowering of wages, is a burning belief
with me. and therefore 1 occasionally
devote this column to items as to I'M
usual occupations in which women
have been successful.
Surely in all your acquaintance
there is some woman who has found
happiness and profit in some unusual
occupation.
Then let me know about it.
Flower growing is an occupation
which is attracting more women year
after year. Those who think that sim
ply love for flowers is sufficient stock
in trade for that business, are finding
Sin school of tribulation the folly of
their expectations" But many wom-
en- who realize that a good business
necessary, are making great success
as florists. Three women in a small
town in New York, who are making a
very good living growing carnations
c0le11y ana OL4eI I1OW0TS dS a sue Is
sue, tell me of earning very much bet
ter money than their school teacher
and stenographer friends.
st once knew a lady who made a
very nice sum of money by taking
care of large private libraries writes
one of my correspondents. Her work
was placing books in their correct or
der and busting them and their cases
at regular intervals-say once a
month. She also took care of bric-a-
brac and fine articles that could not
be left to servants"
That reminds me of a sign which /
myself recently saw hanging in an
employment bureau. 1 do not remem-
Der the exact wording but the sense
was an announcement that the woman
whose name was signed would clean
| jewelry and silverware at the owners
house. The names of several of the
best known women in the city were

given as references. It seems to me
that such an undertaking should be
a great success. I know of many
women who dislike to allow their dia-
monds to go out of their homes for
cleaning at regular jewelers. because
of their fear of substitution.
What is greatly needed" another
correspondent writes, lis q compan-
ion for the many elderly ladies who
for a variety of reasons, although
well provided with money, are more
or less alone in the world. A woman
who would make a business of visiting
and amusing these people. and at
of amusement, ought to make good
living
Personally, I never heard Of anyone
engaged in just. such a business, but
1 present it as suggestion which some
reader who is of the cheerful and
lively disposition requisite for such an
occupation, might work out.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1910-10-19

make things hot for them. Cakes of
soap and rotten apples served as mis-
siles. and cups well filed with water
came into play. 1t looks as though
this were just the beginning OF ser
les of outbreaks.
A howl comes up from the city hall.
1t is said that there are more good
looking unmarried women in this
building than in any other place in
town. One of the city officials is get
ting out directory which points out
the good traits of these Catches The
directory is worthy of any mans at
tention.
The recent warm spell was a god
send to the people of Kansas and all
over the west. The coal shortage
which has been causing so much fear
was diminished to a great extent by
the two weeks of warm weather The
mines in the southeastern part of the
state were able to turn out many cars
in that time.
The people living on the Mulvane
boulevard in Elmhurst Place have sent
petition to the city commissioners
for paving that street with asphaltic
concrete. Mulvane street through
Elmhurst is the main driveway to the
Washburn college district and with
the new paving will be the popular
southwest drive of the city.
There is a movement at Washhurn
to revise the old yell for football
games. Some of the old timers who
grew up with the old who ?" yell
want it repeated. They claim that il
is much better than the assortment
now in use. Then there is another
thing-the new yells may be a hoodoo
to the team. Why not try the old one
next Saturday?
The two arches of electric lights
which were placed over Kansas ave-
nue. for the last convention are still in
place and brighten up Topeka's main
business thoroughfare fifty per cent
If in the preliminary plans for a
"Great White Way" the merchants
would make an arch of this kind at
